When I got Verizon Fios the router came with a unique password, but only for Wi-Fi. The actual device login was a default (actually technically just one of the "default" logins techs commonly used; I had to Google this).
I think this can be helped by not allowing remote access until the default password has been changed. If you're going to require remote access you should know enough that you should try to secure your device.
Obviously, this doesn't help the problem with weak password or technicians commonly changing the device default and then re-using that device in another household. But it's a start.
I think what he meant to get across what that you don't need the command line. Sure, it's there and it's great, but the real improvement is that the Android community hasn't been plagued by forums with people advising others to copy+paste bash commands, run scripts, or compile stuff just to get something to work.
accidental deaths of children due to handguns in the US: ~500 per year
accidental deaths of children choking on balloons: ~1000 per year
Is anyone else concerned that the number of deaths from balloons doubles handguns? Where are you getting these numbers?
Weed on the other hand made the spiders do very detailed, ornate work, but they seemed to have wandering minds, get bored and leave their webs unfinished. I don't know what OS that would correspond to.
Linux. That would definitely be Linux. Just look at all the different distros.
Mod points! My kingdom for some mod points!
I have had my fair share of Windows problems and even though the changes in Windows 8 aren't revolutionary or ground-breaking they are much welcomed. Just about every feature you listed is possible with Windows XP, 7, and even Vista; but they required knowledge of how to properly configure Windows, get rid of all the crap you don't need, and then properly install and configure the third-party applications that handled features the OS now natively provides.
I got to the point where I came up with a list of must-have apps and configs for any family member or friend asking for help "fixing" their computer. I had to keep my list and software library up-to-date, or rely on a website like "i use this" to take care of that. And I have lists for Windows, Mac, and Linux OSes; nobody is perfect.
UI mess aside I welcome such improvements in an OS like Windows 8.
The iPad2 is the second coming of Christ, we got it already.
If the iPad2 is the second coming of Christ then the New iPad is...?
For you, maybe.
For short people? That's at a comfortable level.
Ewoks? Forget about it. They shouldn't be handling those anyways.
