Unless I'm reading the article wrong, it's not your time. Assuming you work a 9-5 at MS, they're saying you can use 20+% of that time to work on Windows Phone Apps. So instead of working on Ms Office for the whole 8 hours of your day, you're getting paid to spend time working on Windows phone apps that may or may not make any money.

So assuming I'm not reading it wrong, what they're asking isn't unreasonable. Why should they pay you to make a product that can take money from them?

Would you prefer it prompts the person (in their case the person who took the ipad) if they would like to allow the remote wipe to occur? 0_o

What are they going to do if upper management doesn't provide one? Fire them? Lawl.

It seems to me that if Amazon in particular wanted to circumvent this, they just remove the link in their kindle software that opens up the browser/store. Users would still be able to "pull from archive" any book they buy on the website that wasn't already on the device.

  I.e they could goto amazon.com, buy book and not send to any device (assuming Apple made them disable 'send to kindle software on idevice'), open up kindle software and pull from the archive.

To play it safe I'll just never update my kindle software on my ipad/iphone....

i think it would could be measured in days how fast the DOJ and company respond. Given Google's large market share, making its competitors effectively 'disappear' from the internet won't sit well for them.

i can't recall which side of the water but some regulatory agency is investigating whether Google is altering companies search rankings based on how much business they're doing with them.

So yea threatening companies like Oracle, IBM, MS, and Apple won't get Google anywhere but under further scrutiny.

The US discussions tend to focus on smart phones (ones that tend to require data plans). Anytime you mention Nokia/Symbian and the global market, stats tend to refer to any and all Nokia phones that run Symbian (which isn't that pretty much any Nokia phone that isn't running Maemo/meego/etc?)

I see what you did there with 'otherwise'.

While Android users might use more data than iphone users on average, unless:
  ( number of Android users on VZW * android data average) > (number of iPhone users on ATT * iphone data average)

bringing up VZW's network is moot.

capability to censor content? That might be the end result but they have the companies phone number who is sending this. Telecoms have been able to block phone numbers for quite a while now.

You can buy a house under a shell corporation and hide the owners of that if you want to put forth the effort.

I can't even imagine what would have to fall into place so there would be even the most remote possibility that Ellison's job could ever be taken from him. I'm pretty sure he can have whoever he wants as his #2 and his job will be secure until he wants to give it up and then he'll probably pick his own successor.

I have my iphone plugged in with the bumper now. There's a clearly defined hole of which to plug in the connector. Perhaps your reviewers got the bumper installed upside down?

MS, Intel, Apple, and Google would all like you to convince the FTC of that.

Weren't we just a few years ago complaining that browsers displayed pages differently and we were looking for all browsers to adapt open standards so they would look alike?

Now we have someone upset because he wants to make someones page look different and they don't want it. My how times change

There is a poster on every other general tech site who says "" loves Apple". If every tech site except the dedicated windows/linux site loves Apple, isn't there the slight chance there is a decent reason for it? I'm guessing you aren't the biggest fan of Apple since you felt the need to make this routine Apple bias post.

I can't wait till someone makes it possible to filter out the hate from any and all threads that pertain to said company. Threads would be probably less than half as long :)
