Yeah, I've made this mistake before .... Lily of the Valley.... *cough*...

I doubted this was Newt Gingrich, too... until I saw the 33333. Total money.

Obviously, they misread "Microsoft will have to settle for a small share of the tablet market" as "Microsoft will have to settle for a share of the small tablet market".

Here's how it ACTUALLY went down:

Ballmer walks into room, wielding chair.

"You know, there's a lot of not-nice things that can happen when you standardize around a non-Microsoft office format..."

I'd recommend dumping ubuntu and moving to mint as the base for kubuntu.

The new name (first two letters from kubuntu, last two letters from mint) would pay an appropriate tribute to Mark Shuttleworth.

The converse of the "If people want that content, your site will automatically work" argument is well proven by Truemors and Alltop.

Why would Google would hire this two-bit hack...?

Actually, most variations of pluralism have claims: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acronym#Representing_plurals_and_possessives

You think it's messy now? Just wait until a Mormon joins this conversation!

...he sure has a sticky "memory buffer":

From the current article:
"The impact and fall injured my leg and also broke my wearable computing system, which normally overwrites its memory buffers and doesn’t permanently record images. But as a result of the damage, it retained pictures of the car’s license plate and driver, who was later identified and arrested thanks to this record of the incident."

From his blog, in relation to an incident at McDonalds (http://eyetap.blogspot.com.au/2012/08/unanswered-letter-to-mcdonalds-head-of.html)
"With all the video surveillance cameras that you have in your establishment you should be able to do better than merely "witness statements" as the only evidence to stand against the solid evidence that your employees generated in my wearable computing system by damaging it and thus preventing it from overwriting its circular buffer"

If you apply that philosophy to all software that has had or will have more than one zero day vulnerability, your computer will end up being pretty useless.

So Judge Koh said 'It is not the proper role of the court to second-guess the jury’s factual determination as to the proper amount of compensation,'.

And then proceeded... to second-guess the jury’s factual determination as to the proper amount of compensation by $450,000,000?

Am I missing something here? I would prefer to not RTFA if at all possible..

Well, given that Michael Arrington was fired from his own company for ethical reasons a year or two back, his complaints about abuse of power *do* posess a certain ironic value.

The problem is that somebody has to write the other 2 UI's. Keeping in mind that:

- Many of the existing apps on Ubuntu aren't written by inherently Ubuntu developers, but by cross platform, Linux developers. i.e. small existing dedicated dev community
- Ubuntu has alienated a fair portion of the Linux community of late. i.e. shrinking existing dev community
- The desktop experience stinks, in the estimation of many. i.e. questionable prospects for dev community growth

Where are these tri-headed apps going to come from?

Natalie Portman with hot gritz is starting to look pretty good, right?

And where would that "REAL data" be?

When you question the source of data, it is customary to at least provide some evidence...

Only the ignorant think that gun controls don't reduce the possiblity of a sick minded disturbed person from killing.

The Australian example:
1996, introduction of strict gun controls: 0.57 per 100,000
2012, current gun homicide rate: 0.17 per 100,000
(source: http://www.gunpolicy.org/firearms/region/australia)

If you were to pull your head out of the sand, you might also note that the related drop in the overall homicide numbers over the same period (299 down to 219 = 70) is entirely accounted for by the corresponding drop in guns homicides over the same period (104 down to 30 = 74)
