Only One US City Makes "Top Ten Internet Cities Worldwide" List 240
An anonymous reader writes "A new report today has ranked the Top 10 'Internet Cities' around the globe, based on a set of five criteria: connection speed, availability of citywide WiFi, openness to innovation, support of public data, and security/data privacy. One might expect high-tech cities like San Francisco and Tel Aviv to appear on a list of 'Internet Cities,' but they don't. Indeed, no Middle Eastern cities appear here at all, and — due, largely, to the United States' poor Internet speeds — the only US city to make this ranking is Seattle."

Its a bit harsh to say the Xbox One has failed sure its had some bad press and the flip flopping on policies that has followed.
But its not out yet.
And its still sold out nearly everywhere like the PS4.
It would be fair to say it in 12 months time when he is leaving (whatever state it's in then)

I'd have thought that lots of people can offer credit card numbers since they have been around for a while.
Instagram likes are a new "product" and presumably available from fewer places hence more expensive.

The needs of the business world is always changing and the needs of the internet is changing to meet it. HTML 5 isn't just a new shiny stuff which people can use. Its stuff people can do already but need large libraries and stuff to create now.
Newer libraries just mean that you will download less to the client, in order to provide the rich user experience they expect now a days.
TFA is pure FUD most of the problems which it highlights exist already. If anything HTML5 sorts out more issues than it creates.
