You can go ahead and do this. Just realize that there is no way that this will be handled well by an iMac with intel based GPU and RAM on a base model likely starting at about half whatever logic would tell you it should. iPad's with Retina on the first gen got burned, as they were under powered. MacBook Pro Retina's under powered on the first gen, and now this. Early adopters will pay dearly for adopting 8k with such pedestrian hardware specs.

Environmental remediation tasks. Although I'd imagine this is not great for finding trace elements present in a soil sample.

Unless the goal/userbase of the spyware is very specific to an industry.

So if they caught these asshats the total surveillance state they (the NSA) built is justifiable? The ends justify the means... I can't say I agree with you.

You mean like silverlight?

You had me till that last sentence.

"Everything else is a joke compared to them."

Keep telling yourself this. Your future looks great from here!

Name one enterprise willing to accept that. Dell won't piss off their customers that badly no matter how much MS offers them. It would become the new Nokia. Which OEM would accept willfully the kiss of death MS would be forcing on them?

I went to pull up a link, and it seems as they changed this in the latest release of iOS (8.1) . As for using a limited subset of javascript that was quite old, while using a different set for Safari, didn't have any other browser on the same playing field, or responsiveness or capabilities.

I could give a toss what you think, and this information is publicly available. Don't be a ponce limey.

the browser they switch to is likely inferior to Google search? WTF does this even mean?
A browser is not a search engine. People can change search engines and not need to change the software they are using to do so.

In the US they got away with murder, most likely because they gave the feds any piece of data and every back door they could dream of.

Wrong. You can use a deprecated engine which is limited slow and inferior. So all those who want to compete with iOS cannot have a level playing field.

Microsoft was fined, they paid fines, and they had forced official remedies mandated, which they violated as well. The latter part being within the last two you years. You should be ashamed of yourself for coming here and deliberately lying so you don't have a way to get called out for being a shill/asshat...
People like you keep conversations from moving forward. Nice to be that guy asshole.

What about the lawsuits where no one else could have a browser installed in windows upon purchase? Or that you can't get a PC without paying for Windows whether you intended to use it with Windows or not?

By nature of Google making the algorithm which ranks the results, it is inherently biased. The only way to prevent bias, would be to make the results pages completely randomized. Even then the randomization would hint at bias in the way it defined random. Google and their search results are and always have been a carefully manicured set of results, based off of choices of those behind it.

Where is the lock in? Where are the predatory practices that make certain that no one can make a product that replaces Google? What are the costs associated with a user using Bing/DDG/Yahoo/dogpile or whatever?

Now if Google mandated that you could only use Chrome to use the search engine, or Chrome OS/Linux then this may be slightly similar to MS in the 90's. But this isn't even close. Also where is the FUD campaign where anyone using another browser or search engine is getting threatened with a lawsuit? Where is Google hiring proxy companies to prevent MS from working on Bing as a competitor? Where is the mandate that only Google can be used by any pc that is purchased?
