Should we do the same for pirates?

How fitting name!

Why can you use that line when Windows is involved, but not with Linux? Every time someone says that Linux is secure because it doesn't have enough market share there is countless amount of people saying that it isn't so. Selective much?

Microsoft doesn't want Android to fail. They are profiting half a billion every year from it, without doing anything.

It is when they're pushing them in the usual search results. It's somewhat cheating, and certainly not honest. That's why Google is probably giving them that prominence by moving them to better places, but outside the search results. That's what EU has been giving them trouble for, anyway.

Windows Phone 7 is actually the only current phone with no exploits. Both Android and iPhone have exploits (even tho users usually label them as rooting their phones, but essentially it's the same).

It's relevant because the lawsuits are already about Google promoting their own services over competitor ones in search results. This move might be because they needed to move the promotion off the search results and give them space in more prominent "Google's stuff" place, or they didn't care about the investigations and just went full force promoting their own services. Regardless, it is relevant.

Actually, Lumia is performing really well in Europe and Australia. In November it was on top of sales charts of Sweden and Australia and in December in United Kingdom, beating both Android devices and iPhone. Nokia and Microsoft did really well in Europe.

It's actually kind of funny that Slashdotters seem to be so in love with DuckDuckGo, especially considering that it uses Bing as back-end. Guess it doesn't matter if it just doesn't clearly say Microsoft somewhere in the site. Just shows that Bing actually provides good search results.

Why do you think it's bashing? It's reporting news. Just because it's Google doesn't mean they should not be reported, just like Microsoft, Apple and other companies. Or are you saying we should give Google a pass on every time just because you love them?

It's not only start page, it's across all pages.

Most Microsoft's products are actual products you run on your desktop, like Windows and Office. They keep working even if Microsoft "discontinues" them. With cloud and Google stuff discontinuing them means they really are dead.

Yet the made a big deal about Chinese government trying to censor them. But I guess that's totally different!

And showing the middle finger clearly broke laws!

Google does that too.
