Comment Mobile strategy (Score 1) 331
The mobile strategy is pretty lame, after all - setting themselves up as a low-rent copy of Apple.
Combine this with no tablet presence at all, and you have MSFT positioning itself as trying to hold onto the shrinking desktop market.

They want everyone keeping all their devices connected to the online hub. This way they can control licensing, require updates, etc., more effectively than they do today.

Did the Chinese Military Use Top Gun Footage?

heidaro writes "'As part of its ongoing expansion, has the People's Liberation Army signed up Goose and Maverick? Chinese bloggers are accusing state broadcaster CCTV of using re-purposed footage from the 1986 film Top Gun for a story on a recent air force drill.' Is it just me or are communist nations very skilled at embarrassing themselves?"

It doesn't matter, on /. every consumer is expected to sideload, install a clean OS, jailbreak, or otherwise do things the average person doesn't know how to do and/or wouldn't care to do if they could.
On /., everyone uses the same way you do. (or would, if they weren't so stupid)

Depends... if Ballmer had said the exact same thing, it wouldn't be AS true. In this case since someone who loves Android says it, it's a "gotcha".

Alaska Must Release Palin E-mails By May 211
An anonymous reader writes with this excerpt from msnbc.com:
"The state of Alaska has until May 31 to release about 25,000 pages of e-mails from former Gov. Sarah Palin and senior members of her administration, the state attorney general declared Wednesday. ... the delays in dealing with public records from the Palin administration will have stretched out longer than the Palin administration itself. She was governor for 966 days. By May 31, the request from msnbc.com for the official records will be 986 days old. State regulations usually require records to be made available within 10 days, but state officials said they were overwhelmed by the volume of the e-mails."

The biases only deal with embryonic stem cell research, which is but a subset of all types of stem cell research. For the record, I don't think you need a religious bias to object to embryo farming or similar (since this is /., we are allowed/required to carry out what-could-happen as far as possible)
Much more important than a petty political point is pointing out that exclusivity contracts in medical research are stupid. We should be attempting to advance as quickly as humanly and ethically possible in these fields, and awarding exclusivity for profit motivated (don't kid yourself, they are) universities and research institutions is damaging and nonsensical.

White House Wants 1M Electric Cars By 2015 603
coondoggie writes "The White House has outlined a wide-ranging plan for putting one million of what it calls 'advanced technology vehicles' on the road by 2015. Most observers would say that is a good start, but is it reasonably doable? The next White House budget will include a number of investments and enticements to make the goal achievable in theory. Of course, not all of the provisions are likely to make the cut."
