Are you a complete idiot? How can you possibly not know that music industry revenue and profits have PLUMMETED in recent years?

Which of course is totally retarded because using an on-screen zoom bar is horrible for proper tactile control and makes the screen wobble like fuck. Another Apple win.

Surely wins the Slashdot TinFoil Hat Post of the Year Award 2011?

Here's a few off the top of my head:

No touch interface support (full API in Flash, very early stages of development with HTML5)
No alpha channel support on top of video
No dynamic objects (captions / titles etc) or navigational items on top of video
Can't interact (e.g. record from) a webcam
Can't record audio from your microphone
Can't create desktop applications with HTML5
Very limited set of codecs (audio and video) in HTML5
No built in color correction
Can't handle binary data
No peer to peer support
No binary network sockets
No progressive streaming support (i.e. you can't jump into the middle of a video without downloading everything to that point)
No DRM support
No accessibility support
No Full Screen mode

In addition for most Flash games of any level of sophistication, recreating them in JS + HTML5 will be an incredibly painful experience for developers. AS3 has evolved into a robust, full featured language that well supports the needs of developers.

Hurrah! Year of the Linux Desktop predicted to occur in AD5311.

The most common source of waves is due to wind action on the water, not the interaction of the earth and the moon (although this does have some effect).

Wow, no kidding. I haven't seen a web page like that since the glory days of webpagesthatsuck.com

Shame it cost them an estimated $6 billion to develop the XBox and it's successor. At the current rate of progress they will pay down this debt in a mere 35 years.

That's all I could think of whilst he was speaking. A better image can be found here: http://thechap.net/content/section_news/?p=20

"Daniel now designs rockets for the U.S. Military under the aegis of his Falcon Project. He still operates the business out of his parents’ garage, which he has converted into a space station. He claims to have had a moustache since he was 12. Indeed, a photograph exists of him, aged 13, on a missile-test platform at Otterburn Army Training Estate, Cumbria, with a hairy top lip. Tragedy nearly struck, however, when he was 15. A small explosion during an experiment burnt off half his moustache. His mother made him shave off the other half, but since then it has blossomed into a fine example of a British Handlebar."

Not true. In the UK (and I suspect most of the EU) phones are subsidised as the norm on 12-24 month contract plans. e.g. http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/mobiles/iPhone-finder If you sign up to a 24 month contract you get an iPhone for free.

Yup, epic fail here as noted by others. Check out the Dell E4200 which is a *current* model and note the single USB port. Unfortunately I own one of these suckers and it is as insanely annoying as you might imagine: http://www1.euro.dell.com/uk/en/business/Dell-Laptops/laptop_latitude_e4200/pd.aspx?refid=laptop_latitude_e4200&cs=ukbsdt1&s=bsd

Two words: Group Policy. Neither Firefox nor Chrome have officially supported ADM files and without them corporates can't manage (i.e. lock down) large numbers of users effectively. Without this critical component neither will achieve widespread corporate adoption.
