Men's rights activitsts

Why don't they call themselves masculists?

Because Facebook.

But HTML5 treats XHTML syntax as a resented stepchild because WHATWG hates XML so much. All the sloppy markup that the rest of the spec advocates should be treated that way instead.

The scenario you describe is pretty much how it worked, with Google and Netflix doing most of the forcing, and Microsoft only helping out a little bit.

Corrollary: There are two ways a computer is used: As a tool, and as an appliance.

That would also infer that Win10 is built on a BSD-like kernel.

Um.... Half-Life 3 confirmed?

I think you've figured out why they're doing this.

While IE (and now Edge) "aren't" part of the OS, they are tightly integrated. A Windows rolling release is the only way they could think of to make browser releases more often than annually and closer to every 5ms like everyone else.

FF on my laptop is still on 29 because every time I upgrade it another theme or add-on I rely on breaks.

And in true MS fashion, they're convinced they can milk the app store cash cow whether or not there are any apps in it.

Just WordPress developers. No, I take that back... WP devs are so shit that they wouldn't recognize any hack.

What I'm reading is that MS has all but given up on Windows as a mobile development platform for the sake of being able to run Android/iOS apps.

It also serves as a tacit acknowledgment that MS isn't connecting with mobile developers, and that mobile apps drive mobile platforms.

ESPN is by far the most expensive channel block... every subscriber pays about $5/month for ESPN, whether or not they watch any sports.

Bundling is what keeps most channels alive, via bundling subsidy. Anything that even remotely represents a la carte will be fought by the content providers.

I don't necessarily want notifications on my wrist.... all I want is a customizable color digital screen on my wrist.

Makes me wonder about the economics of producing these things. Apparently something related to the OS choices makes it worth Intel's while to develop separate models and the infrastructure to build each one, rather than just building the higher spec model and slapping either OS onto it.

It's things like this that hearken back to the glory days of the Evil Empire, and why people find it difficult to trust MS now.

What you describe is not too dissimilar to what MS makes PC OEMs agree to regarding preinstalled Windows. It wouldn't be impossible to get this to backfire all over Redmond.
