Probably better odds of finding ET than winning the lottery

I would have thought they would have had a plan a long time ago.

I think you missed the point. Google has published the patches but the carriers have not distributed them.

Sounds fair to me. IT is a .com after all.

I don't think they'll release a Windows 8 Classic because there'd be no difference between it and Windows 7 (other than having removed Media Center.)

They should be ditching Balmer, not the Entertainment Division. Behind almost every failure is a failing management team.

Whatever...

In their small town of a little over 8,000 men, it turned out that everyone was related.

Doesn't say much for AMD when they're comparing to Intel's entry-level processors. And they lost me at integrated ATI graphincs. I gave up on their shitty drivers many years ago. Doesn't matter how fast their GPUs are if the software side is full of bugs. They'r ethe best example of "just get it out the door. we'll fis the bugs in teh next version", But they never do...

That's pretty much the same view I had of the whole cable thing. I was spending $75/mo on cable, or $900/yr. I figured I could cancel my cable, buy an OTA antenna and build a DVR PC with the savings. The antenna was $40 and the PC was $700 (i3-based PC with Win7 and a Hauppage 2250 dual tuner). I run Windows Media Center which has been incredible. I PVR pretty much everything I want and have more programming on the drive than I could ever watch. I broke even after 10 months and that was 2 years ago. Best part is, the picture quality kills cable. I'm fortunate that I live in Toronto on the 20th floorof a condo so I can pick up 20 US and Canadian channels but I have an AppleTV as well which I solely use for Netflix. So I went from $75/mo to $7.99/mo and I'm happier than I've ever been.

So with 700 million unique visitors per month, everyone on the planet has been to their site at some point in the last 10 months?

Sad to see how they all do what the other ones are doing, but in a way I admire her courage to stand up and admit her mistake. Sucks to be her but maybe it'll make a few others wake up too. Does this still have to get passed by the EU parliament too?

Could it be that . ...this suggests that religions have harnessed, or exploit, the brain areas that have evolved to process big tech brands.

What kind of moron buys 10 year old software? If you're too narrow minded to see the benefits of Win 7 over XP then you probably got what you deserved (and probably don't see the difference anyway). Seriously? Is Win 7 too expensive for you, or not up to your standards? Really?

what are you talking about?
