You missed my point. They may appear that they have a decent cyber unit. But we know from their missile tests that were utter failure that is probably more than a wish than a reality.

In US, NSA hires talented hackers/programmers, as their skills are already established. For that to work, they need all population to have access to the internet.. So how does NK does same when they forbid the internet to the masses? Even if they had prospective talent, they would not be able to recognize them.

is cyber superpower?
I am not buying it. They could have smart people that would make talented hackers. But good luck finding them because they most likely don't even own a computer.

Companies have to pay you $100k just so you would accept to work in it.

Every AT&T android phone comes with this preinstalled.

Not so evil after all?

Obviously there's benefit to Google in long term if renewables can be made cheap. But either way, it is research done on google's dime that helps public.

It is funny with all these new operating systems supposed to be faster on the old devices; yet less and less of these old devices can actually run them.
These reviews claiming otherwise are pure marketing.

OS improvements usually come with a different cost: new bloat. Hence at some point your old hardware will not work good enough with the new OS. Or whoever made the hardware has no desire to support the new OS once they have sold you the device.
It is more obvious with Apple devices, although that can be attributed to a desire to force millions of devices becoming obsolete, so that new can be sold.

Another truth is that some tablets with Tegra chipsets newer ran any Android well enough as CPU performance was bad, so no OS can fix that. no matter how many ROMs you try, overclocking, etc.

.. and MS loses again. MS was left in dust by Netbeans and Eclipse. They do much more, and all for free. Both have strong open source community that shells out useful plugins that extend the many languages that are supported. So finally MS decided to play catch-up game.

And there are some that still believe Visual Studio is the best. In reality VS is same as IE vs rest: IE is slowest, least compliant, least open, least extensible.

it would be exactly like Chrome :)

nice selling point

2.14 was way better.

It is not a bug, it is a feature..

It was supposed to always BSOD in this case! MS fixed the bug so it finally BSODs. ;)

Well if MS can make mobile devices more productive for the businesses ... then there's something good coming out of new CEO.

Usability next Windows does matter a lot, even with this mobile and cloud focus. The PC platform is starting to recover a bit, mostly due to Windows XP demise.

... but Microsoft had to use lots of FSF tools such as ... gcc. When they have their own compiler toolchains.

That must had to smell like defeat.
