I shudder to think of what those might be. More change for change's own sake I suppose.

I don't know what you mean by modern resolutions but I'm quite content with my dual-monitor, 1920 x 1080 setup and my graphics card seems to handle it just fine. Display Port also comes with DRM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort#Digital_Rights_Management_.28DRM.29

I value the freedom to do what I want with what I own so I don't use it. I'm perfectly happy with my DVI displays and will be for years to come.

I'm often amazed by how buggy Google software is. They have more money than they know what to do with and yet they put out some of the buggiest software. Google Drive is a disaster. I love Google Earth and use it daily but it crashed about 3 times yesterday. Maybe they should invest some of that money in quality control.

Even the term "authorized cable" is enough to make me cringe. It's a FUCKING CABLE. It's the very simplest of electronic devices (if you can even call it a "device"). It has connectors, connected by stranded wires. That's all there is to it. And yet even the humble CABLE can't escape Apple's walled garden. What's next? "Unauthorized" headphones?

Apparently a small network, at least I hope for his sake.

True. I've been running Xubuntu on a Thinkpad T60 (since Natty) with no problems.

With some things, they just never learn. And sadly, this march is being led by Microsoft and the OEMs are beholden to their power. We had touchscreen in the 80s. Nobody wanted it then either.

At first I thought it sounded like a good idea. But let's think this through. How would they enforce it? The trolls will just use fake names. It would take an army of people just to verify the IDs. And even if they automated it, who would be willing to go to all that trouble to make a comment? Likely not many. Let's take it a step further and require ID to get online. Say goodbye to liberty and political dissent. It's the NSA's wet dream!

This. 100 times.

Seriously, what the fuck?! Companies that do shit like this are only going to hurt themselves in the PR department. Just STOP. You don't need to know every fucking thing about me. It's none of your fucking business.

I think this is what MS should have done in the first place. Make the damned thing capable of running Android applications. How hard can that be?

They've been quite busy destroying Windows so they will no longer be needed. Tearing down walls is just the next logical step.

Interesting idea, I like it. The problem I've seen with errors is that they are sensible to programmers but cryptic and meaningless to users. If you are writing errors, put them in plain English (or whatever language you're programming for).

True to a point, but I do very much like my 24" dual monitor setup with each at 16:9, 1920 x 1800 resolution. If I could get all that into one monitor, I'd still probably get 2 of 'em!
