So in other words, retarded people can no longer use the built-in Windows Phone maps?

Oh, please. Introducing one more species to our ecosystem isn't going to have any effect at all, relative to everything humans have done to the ecosystem.

No government should be forcing its citizens into proprietary software which writes its data in proprietary ways without good, permanent ways to retrieve that data in the far future.

You're right. Glad no government is doing that!

Why not just use the mapping stuff that comes with Windows Phone? Seems to work just fine.

You can, but its extremely difficult.

You just put less food into your mouth. Unless you're being force fed, it's not difficult at all.

This is good, but it's not self-control.

No, in many cases, it's just self-control. In my case, it's self-control. Believe it or not, some people can *choose* what they shovel into their mouths...

I didn't know what Twitch was. Luckily, the NY Times had an informative article about it:

Jesus Christ. Humanity is doomed.

Or you can just eat less.

I don't know anybody who pays his/her bills "writing and posting stories". I pay my bills by working in retail, and there are no real Linux options for decent point of sale systems. So yes, for "real work", I rely on Windows.

From a privacy aspect, anybody shopping at Amazon already doesn't care about any kind of privacy.

From a business aspect, I'm shocked that they're not doing it already. They have more information about their customers than probably any single organization on the planet. Considering how badly they're bleeding cash, I'm wondering why they haven't been doing this all along.

No need to call us "monkeys", you douchebag, but I agree. I work behind a register, and I wouldn't take it. And yes, chip and pin will kill this, as well.

People value all kinds of different silly things. The article was implying that Bitcoin has some kind of widespread credibility, which is absurd.

Bitcoin has about as much credibility as Monopoly money in my mind. Asking if something can undermine the credibility of monopoly money doesn't really make any sense.

What does "traction" matter? A good platform is a good platform, and WP is one of, if not the best platform out there right now. I don't understand why they'd use Android on their own phones. That doesn't make any sense.

New taxes are never the solution. Ever.

It's good to know that you have a system as complicated as a country of hundreds of million people figured out with a single sentence. You should consider running for President. Sounds like Sarah Palin would be a perfect running mate for you!
