I tried that already. Sadly, it didn't do much to help performance.
Completely agreed. I have the 2012 N7 and a very, very long in the tooth HP Touchpad running a Cyanogenmod nightly. The Touchpad easily outperforms the N7. That's really sad.
we don't buy sony here.
I thought everyone knew that.
sony is on the 'do not buy from' list.
Bad behavior, like Memory Stick, should be punished. Good behavior, like their rootable phones and tablets, should be rewarded. This will motivate them to make more good things, and less shit things.
Launching another browser presents the usual "do you want me to be default" dialog. It's completely trivial to change your browser preference. Yes, I would have preferred if Microsoft had left my browser preferences alone with the upgrade, but this is blown a bit out of proportion.
It's also a bit disingenuous to compare today's situation to the Internet Explorer case that's literally 20 years old. I find it improbable to believe that anyone using Windows 10 is unaware of alternative browsers availability.
If it is all so simple, here are questions for you than. I have a domain at home, how do I go about getting my free copy of Windows 10? How does one reinstall this copy of Windows 10 so that it isn't a buggy upgrade install? I have Windows 7 Ultimate (OEM as I built the computer from parts), so it isn't like I am caught in the hole of Windows 7 Enterprise.
Those aren't eligibility questions, those are process questions. The eligibility is very simple.
Anyone who is on either Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 will be entitled to a free (as in beer) upgrade to Windows 10 during the first year of the Windows 10 launch. The exclusions to that offer are for Windows 7/8/8.1 Enterprise and Windows RT/RT 8.1. The licenses for the upgraded systems are permanent and perpetual.
Details are in the footnote at the bottom of https://www.microsoft.com/en-u....
Has all the confusion about who would qualify for free Windows 10 been on purpose? This has certainly given MS free publicity.
Lets vote down this story to reflect its true relevance.
I have to believe people are being deliberately obtuse about upgrade eligibility. It's just not that difficult.
Windows 7 passes as Vista Service Pack 2. Hence the stability.
Uh... wouldn't that logic make Windows 10 the same thing as Windows 8.2?
Other than the post on the official Windows blog, I guess

Although that doesn't say this is the RTM, just that "this build is one step closer to what customers will start to receive on 7/29"
Can you prove that Microsoft even runs that site?
It's a reasonable assumption that windows.com, which uses msft.net nameservers, which CAN be proven to belong to Microsoft, legitimately belongs to Microsoft.
Ellen made all the hard changes, like clamping down on offensive speech.

WTF happened to the basic American principle of dying for the right of the offensive to be offensive... not just when we don't agree but especially when we don't agree??
4chan is what happened. Who needs another shitty cesspool of Internet assholes?
The GTX 980 is about $400, not $1,250. But otherwise, yeah.
So the 175.000 people that signed the "get rid of pao" petition are all mods? Wrong.
Hard to say, I don't know how many mods Reddit has and there are sure to be some users that signed. I don't think it's a very significant number, though, considering Reddit gets 2M unique visitors per day (20M per month) and it takes almost no effort to sign an internet petition.
It's more accurate to replace "users" with "mods" in your post. The users were just along for the ride in the current/latest shitstorm. Most of them don't care.
There's no scientific evidence to support that lighting a stove on Saturday for use on Sunday is better for the soul, or that having the light come on in the refrigerator when I open it Monday through Saturday is fine, but distracts me from god on Sunday. There are a lot of people that believe those things, so the manufacturer accommodates them.
I'm not sure where you are from, but culturally the work ethic in the US can be quite different than elsewhere.
That's a fairy tale they tell people to get them to work harder for less. It has nothing to do with an "ethic" and everything to do with exploitation.
Even Greeks work longer hours than Americans. Mexicans work the longest hours of any developed country.
"Total number of hours actually worked divided by the average number of people in employment".
I'm not sure what you mean by "even Greeks" but, with Greece's unemployment rate over 25% for the past three years, I'm not too surprised that those who are still working are putting in long hours. Mexico is more equitable to the US in that regard.
Related but slightly off topic, another interesting way to look at it is the number of hours worked against GDP. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Crazee Edeee, his prices are INSANE!!!
