I'd mod you up but since I don't have points... I totally agree with you: I'll pay you some money and let me do whatever I want with my computer and stay the hell out of it.
I bought Windows 7 and it's perfect for me. This giving away Windows in exchange for using Bing looks like the Google strategy: They want to hook us on their services and make the money through other means. It also looks like they're desperate in putting Windows 8 in the hands of people
This is a 9.7 (1200x825 px) inch e-ink reader. Supports most PDFs perfectly. It allows you to hightlight text and to scribble on them. You can then save the annotated version to a standard PDF that can be opened with the annotations and all on a PC with Adobe Reader or similar.
The hardware is somewhat old at this point and there's supossedly going to be a refresh in the near future (m96) with Android. They're supossedly even sponsoring a contest to develop e-ink optimized Android applications.
Warning: This is a exclusively reading device: It does have wifi and a browser but it's rubbish and many websites do not work well. They're also a bit fragile (specially the screen) so they must be treated carefully.

Libreoffice 4.2 (currently in beta) seems like it's going to add significant new functionality to the spreadsheet program (at least lots of Excel functions).

I think you're spot on. You should be able to subscribe to the posts of a person which have a certain hashtag. And now it would be really simple and convenient since Google implemented autohashtagging of posts in G+ some time ago
I'd like to see this succeed too but I'm not counting on it. For starters, it's going to be really difficult to make the blocks with the connectors to connect to other blocks and everything and that the result is not an ugly, bulky phone. Make no mistake, looks are important in the smartphone market.
In addition, don't count either on having a microSD holder module: Motorola is now part of Google and the big G is pushing hard for the cloud and against microSD cards.
To sum up, an interesting idea that I'd like to see realized but I'm not optimistic about it.
As far as I remember Jeri Ellsworth didn't quite fit in Valve's culture, so that might be a factor. She made a video about it when she was let go. I might be on her Youtube channel
Well, the original Galaxy Ace is a pretty bad phone. Samsung cut too many corners in that one. The original premise still stands, though. No, the 150€ (we're talking off-contract prices) Android phone is not as good as an iPhone, but 300-400€ Android phones are.
What's more, the 200€ -current, 2013- Android phones are not as powerful as the latest iPhone but can really do the same things albeit a little slower.
Well, I'd say he's ok. IMO it's still to early to write C++11 code for any real products. It's not only the matter of the tools (that's the easy part) but the fact that most C++ aren't going to be familiar with those changes and new ways of doing things yet.
Of course there's a lot of horrible comments, but that's a given on any site and there's not much you can do about it. In addition, moderation is no silver bullet and can both easily miss good comments and bury good ones because they don't coincide with the majority opinion. My point still stands: There're some great comments and opinions here.
It's obvious that comments are what make some websites attractive. This is one of them.
In Slashdot I usually find very interesting what other people think about the news. Sometimes, there're some jewels: Comments about people who really know what the news is about and offer their perspective. I same those comments as bookmarks. I wonder why there's not a "favorite" option to save them.
I'd be happy to pay for their services (search/gmail/drive...) if that guaranteed me that they don't store any info about me and that doesn't feed AdSense, and I get no ads.
Just put a reasonable price on it and I bet many people would pay
