Probably not. But I suspect we definitely would have been spared 1600 Penn. Geesh, what a disaster that show was.

For anyone who depends upon Apple for monetary gain (stockholders, developers, etc.), the inability of Apple to properly accommodate the developers who want or need to attend the developer conferences should be a major red flag.

Thanks. Good point.

It reminds me of the clauses in many current consumer "agreements" that force the consumer to [typically corporate-friendly and anti-consumer] binding arbitration and force the consume to give up the right to legal process.

It is as if the companies are saying, "we stole all this data from our customers, and it would be too expensive to allow them to have it back."

- what data nuggets have been collected about me over the past 24 hours, week, month

- what third party entities my data has been shared with

I am sure that this community can suggest other items that would be useful on a Facebook Privacy Dashboard.

In the background, I cannot shake the thought that Facebook is putting up this energy consumption dashboard for the purpose to divert attention away from Facebook's ongoing privacy issues.

Talk about the irony of narcissism.

That everything in one view aspect is not an advancement, but a step backwards.

If you don't want nested folders, then don't use them.

But why take the ability to use them from people who want to use them?

Well, hardware improvements have slowed down --- when's the last time you heard anyone gushing about a new Intel CPU?

And with Windows 8, Microsoft has put Windows' progress in reverse.

If you want to find out why PC sales are slowing, don't ask columnists, ask PC customers.

Customers who, btw, are saying that Windows 8 sucks.

No. I prefer such safety back-stops.

The reason why I wrote my prior comment was that I read the reason the GNU-Linux people do not want to adopt BSD's strlcpy function is that the strlcpy encourages sloppy coding. The rationale given for that assertion is that strlcpy checks for the destination buffer being too small and zero-terminates regardless (unlike strncpy, which returns a non-zero-terminated buffer if the destination buffer is too small).

I think such types of rationale for not implementing safety checks are ridiculous.

Such a conundrum for Redmond.....

That is the wrong focus unless, of course, you are selling to buyers who are more concerned about Linux than whether or not the computer they are buying will serve their needs.

A big problem that Linux faces is that it is fragmented, and the "marketing" focus has been that it is Linux. What is really amazing is that most of the pro-Linux crowd do not see the fragmentation as a disadvantage.

With more and more computing being done on the web and in the cloud, why does it matter whether or not a computer runs Linux, Windows or whatever? That is the point that Google has realized. Consumers want functionality, not an OS.

The sooner the Linux crowd understands that, the better off Linux will be; of course, presuming Linux is not so far gone in the public's eye that it is not redeemable.
