What (I imagine) happens most of the time with intentionally leaked broken software: "Man, this DRM is so restrictive! I'm just going to pirate it!" "HEY! This game is broken! Forget this!" Result: Lost Sale
I'm pretty sure the sale was lost a step earlier when the individual consciously decided to pirate it.
Considering that I have not once downloaded a fake on TBP in the past 10 years or so that I have been using it, I think that either the "researcher" is fiddling with the numbers or has no idea how to download something.
Speaking of fiddling with numbers, The Pirate Bay didn't exist 10 years ago.
So you want to go back to a less easy to use file browser and lose the amazing search bar from Win 7? You're probably one of those people who throws a fit if you use a new keyboard with some of the keys (say volume control) in a different location.
Try actually using Win 7 for a couple of days - you'll never want to go back.
Don't be so condescending. YOU might like it better, but that doesn't mean it is objectively better or easier for everyone. No one is trying to force their computing preferences on you, but you seem to be doing so to others. I'm using Windows 7. I don't hate it, but I'm not amazed by it. I don't fear change, but I do question change that impedes the way I prefer to use MY computer. Frankly, if you're touting the search bar as one of the major features of the operating system, you're fighting a strange battle.
Secondly, you don't NEED to search - hit windows then type what you want in the search bar and it's RIGHT THERE
That, by your own admission, would be searching.

They can publish what the hell they want. Free speech, private citizens, all that rot?
I never said they couldn't. It just comes down to basic journalistic ethics and integrity, you know... all that rot.
Wired doesn't need to make excuses until they're legally compelled to release the information with a subpoena or a court order.
In that case, Wired doesn't need to publish information they are unable or unwilling to back up with evidence.
That's all well and good, but Moonlight doesn't support DRM-protected content.
Facebook was developed with Open Source software.
So are a lot of other closed and proprietary systems. Facebook itself isn't open source, so that has no bearing on anything.
"Heit" is a slang term for "prostitute", although I don't know how it's suposed to be spelled.
See joke above regarding broken spellcheck...
Chauvanism can also refer to fanatical patriotism
*Chauvinism, sorry.
I don't think chauvinist is the word you want unless you're implying that women are not, by default, native english speakers...
Chauvanism can also refer to fanatical patriotism.
Is it really that hard to include a link to Ubuntu's official Alpha 1 page, http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/maverick/alpha1 ?
Oh wait, guess there's not enough annoying ads and popups on that page..
Fail. That's the old Meercat alpha. I guess it was pretty hard, at least for you.
