They move the income on paper to countries with 0% corporate taxes.

Really, who cares about Disqus? I immediately added a filter for them to adblock when I noticed a suggested thread 'Soandsos baby mama' on the AngularJS API docs.

Anyone the least bit privacy conscious should be blocking Disqus along with G+, Facebook, Twitter, etc. on their party sites.

I can't but help think this decision is largely irrelevant to the majority of Ubuntu users. Unless I've somehow missed the news of Linux taking over the mainstream desktop, most users are technically savvy and undoubtedly already have their own browser preference and the knowledge to install it rendering discussions of upgrade paths largely irrelevant.

Sure Firefox users may dislike the extra step, but on the otherhand Chromium users will presumably be pleased that they no longer need to install it afterwards.

Maybe they can bundle Firefox's pdf.js ...

I doubt Google would be complaining if they created a similar experience, the issue is Microsoft went beyond that and actively avoided adverts and allowed users to download videos neither of which are available through the platforms that Google writes applications for.

Technically Youtube has a mobile website which Windows Phone users already had access to so it isn't really similar at all.

Except that people who cheat and otherwise behave badly often use fake / hacked accounts, but those of us who follow the rules would be opening up ourselves to harassment outside the game. Simply put script kiddies don't like to lose.

Not sure I really want to use my own name for gaming if we're doing random match making.

Regardless of the science behind effects of the radiation, its pretty sad to have another instance of corporations throwing money at what was (presumably) the will of the people until it goes away.

Arguably labeling laws are an effective way to provide the individual with power in capitalist system. Individually people don't have power to sway manufacturers, but when provided with information consumers can decide whether they feel its important and if enough people feel similarly it asserts influence on the manufacturers.

Luthair outsells Newegg in CPUs delivered to his friend Fred.

Seriously, this is a fairly specific claim, ignoring and ignores the much larger number of CPUs sold in phones.

It isn't shipping. Again this is not currently a consumer device, its intended for developers.

Have you heard complaints that the Durango (nextbox) devkit is too big and too loud for the living room? The only difference is that Google has an open process which unfortunately has allowed moronic press to get their mitts on them.

Did this complaint fall through a timewarp from 2001? The consumer Windows activation is something Microsoft has actually done well. I've probably performed at least 20 installs over the years and never had a single issue, nor have I ever heard any complaint from anyone else I know.

In truth this isn't even rev-1, its not even intended for consumers.

Sadly Stardock sold their Impulse service to GameStop and it no longer lists the DRM for every game :(

The point of second hand sales isn't necessarily buying a game cheaper, its also being able to sell it once you're done.
