I have used it with a JBL Flip speaker and the range is literally 2 meters. With my phone I can run around the whole apartment and the music keeps on playing.

It is fine if you value design and build quality above usability, updates, battery life and features. But then you don't have a right to complain later that you aren't getting updates. You knew exactly what you were buying the HTC for: design and build quality. You got that. Be happy. Don't whine about updates. If you cared even a bit about functionality, you wouldn't have got an HTC.

Why is having a menu bar and title bar standard? Even Microsoft's own programs do not have title bar (Internet Explorer) or menu bar (Office) sometimes.

I've got an HTC...
Stopped reading after this. If you buy HTC, you deserve the shit you get. Galaxy S3 was released alongside HTC One S and it is upgradable to jelly bean.

What is not standard in it? Windows has always been chaotic in interfaces. What do you want chrome to do? Bring in the ribbon menu?

Chrome has proper aero interface on Win7. You posted a screenshot of qupzilla on win7 and chrome on win xp.

Now Qualcomm is looking to build the concept right into their next-gen Snapdragon chip, preventing any OS-level workarounds."

Samsung developed this with Oculus. And DK2 uses the same screen. I expect many techniques from Oculus' research to be present here too.

DK2 uses a Galaxy Note 4 screen. So GearVR is good in that sense. Though I doubt the phone can push out pixels as fast as your PC.

Linux doesn't rant much, but when he does he hits the nail and he doesn't mince worlds and this time he targeted Apple's HFS+. Linus says, "The true horrors of HFS+ are not in how it’s not a great filesystem, but in how it’s actively designed to be a bad filesystem by people who thought they had good ideas.""

Everyone except Firefox is doing just that. How the mighty have fallen. Firefox was the one that brought down the evil IE.

Adding 12 more cores to your quad core is not going to make the desktop perform better.
Why, though? Why can't they separate things involved in loading a single page? Like network, static images, css, javascript, WebGL, etc. Each gets their own core. Won't that speed up the loading?

How can you stop a native app from doing anything? I think the devs just need to catch up.
