Maybe if you RTFA'd sometimes you wouldn't need to make shitty uninformed posts like this. Just a thought.

No, what Microsoft pushed was what they had already implemented in Office 2007. What they haven't (yet) implemented are the changes ISO made (and continues to make) to the original.

To be pedantic, the original OOXML is also a standard, just not an ISO standard. In addition, it forms a part of the ISO standard: the problem is that it's the legacy part, not the one that new products are supposed to use.

No it didn't. Did you even read the previous articles? And besides, Office 2011 is just a Mac port of Office 2010: nobody sane expected it to have new features.

Who should "make" them do it? Standards aren't legally binding and standards organizations aren't enforcers. And ISO routinely kill standards when they become obsolete. OOXML is a quite new standard, the industry uses it, and they're working on the next draft so clearly it's not obsolete yet.

They did implement first. ISO just didn't agree to standardize the existing implementation as is.

You'd lose that bet. No idea what's the deal with Win 7, though.

If they stopped to take photos over his wall, yes. Likely even if they just stopped and stared. Staring through someone's window, even if you do it from your own house, could be illegal too in some cases. The laws are specifically targeted against peeping toms, paparazzis and the like.

K-lite just uses ffmpeg. Di-AVC also seems to beat CoreAVC but it's going to be payware too. DivX is free; just make sure you don't install any other crap from their installer. You only want their AVC filter, not the divx codec and certainly not their media player, etc.

They still offer those cheaper models. Their low prices pique your interest in netbooks, and then when you do your research/talk to a salesman you learn about these better versions that you could have for just a little extra. I think the manufacturers know exactly what they're doing.

No idea, but at least HP 5101 is available with a 1366x768 10 inch screen and it doesn't seem more expensive than other netbooks. I can't think of any others like it though, at least not in the same price range.

x.264 isn't a decoder so it's not related to video playback in any way

RTFA. This whole news is about making the navigation free too.

It has always done that much for free. By "navigation" Nokia means (voiced) turn by turn directions while simultaneously tracking your gps position. I'm pretty sure the app you downloaded won't do that yet.

I don't think you can equate GPS with navigation. There's tons of useful stuff you can do with a gps without the latter. You can set a point on the map and then have the gps track you on your way there. It just won't tell you where to turn; you need to look at the map and figure it out on your own. It has been enough for me for the past few years.

If you are talking about cars, why would you run the phone, or a dedicated gps unit for that matter, on batteries?
