The decision is a proxy for your own confidence of being a premier IT solution provider who can turn out a working useful OS. Decision to sell means you have confidence someone can do it becuase you can't. How about you just let them do your job instead?

Leo has played real life gay chacters before and they are his worst unsympathetic performances. They were just horrible. I'm sure if he is to play Alan that everyone will come away thinking he was as straight as any of them. It will be another historical straight-washing of a famous gay character.His suicide was because he was found out to be gay, I wonder if they'll be brave enough to tell that end to the story? The whole gay aspect was conveniently ignored in Beautiful Mind, another great gay character played by a homophobe also.

IE9 sucked blocks and MS is in denial - haven't released an update to make it work with all the Java sites that don't work now. Their lame response was that since they now follow standards (really?) that the websites at fault should fix their code. Yeah, I can just ring my airline and say, hey IE9 & MS says your code is bad and you should fix it, would you mind please I'm trying to book a flight and all the drop down lists are empty, Thanks. Strangely these webs site all worked with IE8 and earlier and continue to work fine with Firefox, which is what I'm converting my customers to as they update to IE9 and can't use ordinary web sites any more. I half expect IE10 will fix these problems, but every tme I think Microsoft can't make a product worse than they have, they totally exceed my expectations and make it worse than I can imagine. I wonder if Microsoft will ever change their corporate attitude that shipping faulty products is 'normal' business practice.

Micorosoft's objection to people developing new and innovative solutions using kinect shows how profoundly out of touch they are. There is no one left at upper level of Microsoft that has any vision or imagination when it comes to innovation. It took a number of truely astounding examples of what is possible with Kinect before the penny dropped for Microsoft management to get it. Proving conclusively how clueless they really are on a daily basis. Explains much of what's wrong with the company and their products.

So we teach AI regret is just the difference between maximum possible reward and the actual reward received. The the AI realises the the reason for the discrepancy is due to the interference and inefficiency of the humans involved, and BAM, got to get rid of humans is the logical conclusion. Hello armegeddon.

Even the bible knocks off a few guys and brings them back for dramatic effect. There was Lazerus and that mexican dude, Jesus.

Anyone else getting tired of the Me Too! Microsoft product announcements? Especially since the 'me too' versions are so lame.
Bing the lame version of Google (seach , maps, everything)
Zune the lame version of iPod
Media Centre the lame version of iTunes
Windows 7 phone the lame version of iPhone (lame because OS can't scale even to iPad size)

The only real question is how lame will the Microsoft App Store be?
Will MS App Store be as lame as Ultimate edition Extras?
or as lame as Windows Catalog in XP,
or as lame as the get help with this eror link, which always says there is no help for the error?

Microsoft will be wrong about pad computers just like they were about the Internet and for the same reason. Microsoft wanted MSN to BE what the Internet IS, they were in such denial at the time because not to would mean admitting MSN had no future. Same now. If pad computers are the future, windows has no future. Microsoft is in denial again, well more of a corporate culture these days.

Once CPU have reached their absolute limit, you'll just have to wait if you want a lot of computing done. Just like we used to when computers were first invented. The real limit to what can be done will most likely be communications issues bringing all the data together to be processed is likely to be a much slower process. And exactly what will your iPhone need to be doing with all that super computing power anyway?

The vietnamese government should be more concered about why everyone's life sucks so much they now have a 'problem' when so many people want to live full time in their online world. Sounds a lot like the second best option until living in a dream state 'a-la-inception' is possible. Although, do expect online gaming to go underground now like every other goverment prohibition in history. They won't see that coming either.

I have heard Barry Humphries tell this story. It was potato salad in his telling, on a QANTAS flight in the early 70s.

So SOUTH not so different from NORTH. It's the model that ACTA woudl like to force onto the whole world. ACTA is evil and should be put to the sword!
