I guess my emphasis on the examples was mainly on shorthand but we can't ignore the staggering amount on people, adults, that spell incorrectly at least 6 out of 10 words. No statistics or anything on my part, just experience within the professional and personal spectrum.

...will be when they realize not everyone tht spelz lyk dis is a teenager.

On the upside, they could use that as a way to lay off people too lazy to spell "what", "are", "you" and other amazingly difficult words.

"Dear Mr. Smith,

GTFO, lol.

kthxbai,

Management" ... I'm stuck on 2007, aren't I?

No fancy hardware for me, just a laptop and an external, bigger, monitor I watch from afar. I have a 2.1 Gigaware "sound system" (or the integrated soundbar on the monitor when I want something "quieter") and don't watch that many movies or shows, so that's why I instantly recognized I'm not the target audience.

I'm not running Win8. So there ya go.

I'm not that big on streaming unless it's my girlfriend's Netflix which I don't even pay for, so I didn't even know sound quality was an issue that had to be addressed in browsers.

What browser-based games are worth playing with a controller?

As opposed to paying them $5.00 a day, they're getting a better deal.

In a time when kids are born with dozens of conditions, our numbers multiply at a staggering rate worldwide, and that scenario where we must ration our resources VERY carefully (like we should have done since the beginning) is not THAT ridiculously far away, this is actually positive in my eyes.

Do we really need to procreate in such a hurry? I'm not the biggest fan of sodas out there, but if they're gonna help reduce the output of the baby-factory generation out there, I'm all for even buying other people a soda or two.

None of those things are really relevant to the business world. You don't share DVDRips or ISOs over a network for your buddies at work, you don't have any need to watch movies or upload 100 pictures from that Canon of yours at a workplace, the only semi-useful thing in there are Google Docs (don't count Gmail since any e-mail is just as efficient in sending and receiving e-mails) but then again, most corporations already have volume licenses so that's not even that big a hassle.

That's just Sandworms farting.

I don't find this lock-in too much of a hassle since it only affects the ARM version. I can easily opt to use the Intel version and nothing of value would be lost, in my opinion.
