Yes, it was the latter I was referring to.

And on the other end of the scale, you can't ship closed source products with GPL. This kind of "restricted freedom" isn't purely a google thing, and nor is it all bad.

Definitely agree with this. Commented out code can be a severe aggravation, and not just for source control - searches can also bring up false positives. Better to clean it out entirely at the earliest opportunity.

Because I would rather they supported Linux.

Indeed. I don't see the problem anyway - just because it's based on free software does not mean it's free to produce a good product. I'm in the market for a new laptop and may even consider this one - but if it too comes with bloatware/shovelware, I'll probably avoid it...

For me, google docs provides a different service to Office - cross platform collaborative editing. That alone gives it an edge.

If anything, I hope they don't try to compete feature for feature with Office - as it stands, there's such a short learning curve involved to use it which is a great equaliser when it comes to working with people with differing skill sets.

Yeah, this was my first thought too - z80/6502 emulation should be a lot simpler and faster than x86 and could be quite useful.

There's a good way for your eyes to bleed?

... considering only 7 countries are supported, not everyone I know in the EU has the option (including myself).

I'd guess that the hardware is subsidized by the increase in turn over from iTunes and the App Store - probably selling the iPad at close to cost price knowing that they'll make the money back through use.

but my wife is on a mission to print the internet.

Good to hear - the one I repaired was an A1212 - instructions here. Not much fun.

Was thinking exactly the same thing - replaced a hard drive in an MBP last year, 32 screws... all Philips, except the last 4 were torx. Didn't have the right size, so had to go into town the following day to complete the job. At least it was a relatively standard size though, unlike the screws they're using on their newer models... Someone is selling the screw drivers here though.

Yes, but he also shows how the vulnerabilities stem from libraries which the desktop uses, and how, potentially, there are vulnerabilities all the way down, right to the kernel itself. No simple fix - short of turning off all automatic execution of processes against any unknown source (which is what I have done for quite some time - I do have thumbnail generation on local files, but after watching that, I think I'll give that the boot too :)).

There are older stone circles in the UK than Stonehenge. The stone circles in Orkney predate Stonehenge for example, though admittedly not by as much as those claimed here.
