Comment Re:"If this was Microsoft" (Score 0) 186

Hairy, it's because of idiots like you that think all corporations are the same that the US is in such a pitiful state.

Here let me help you: ALL CORPORATIONS ARE NOT THE SAME!

Some corporations try to maintain a good image in the public and align their interests to the majority of their users' interests so that when they make money, the users also benefit. Other corporations like Microsoft cannot do that. When Microsoft makes a lot of money, their users inevitably get screwed over. Get that into your think skull!

Stop trying to repeat the same old shit that Google is only in it to make money. No fucking shit. Every corporation is the same but that is not the fucking point.

I apologize for all the invective to others but this is the only way I can get a point across to someone like hairy.

Microsoft

Submission + - Microsoft scraps 'Where's my phone update?' site (networkworld.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Microsoft disappointed some Windows Phone users on Friday by saying it would stop providing specifics about who will get software updates and when, and announcing vaguely that a new update is "available to all carriers that request it." The update fixes a few issues, including one that caused the on-screen keyboard to disappear and another that caused problems with synching Gmail. Eric Hautala, general manager of customer experience engineering for Windows Phone, said Microsoft will no longer say when people will get updates based on their country, phone model and carrier.

Sigh...hi, again NicknameOne.

Why hello there bonch or overly critical guy or whatever you are calling yourself these days

Their share in that space is even larger than Microsoft's in the desktop computer space.

No it's not. This is a bald-faced lie which makes the rest of your argument irrelevant.

You don't need to keep replying to inactive discussions. We both know you won't change my mind and I won't change yours. May as well just go back to the natural order of things where you anonymously reply to my first posts using your puppet accounts and accuse me of being a random succession of people. You strengthen my posts and draw more moderation points like a sponge.

Unlike you I don't care about moderation points because I don't have an agenda to drive. I just want to make the record clear for posterity what an idiot you - bonch - are and how your employer is paying to bash Google and promote Apple.

You're 100% wrong. Google's advertising market share is nowhere close to Microsoft's desktop OS market share. They're not a monopoly.

If their market share gets high enough, being a monopoly is not bad in and of itself. Abusing the monopoly is (which Microsoft did) but Google doesn't make it hard to switch advertisers. So you're full of it as usual.

Do we need more confirmation you are a Microsoft shill? Microsoft did not receive a cent from any of the Android manufacturers (prove me wrong by providing a link to an article that is not speculating about the amount exchanged.) No terms have been made public. Microsoft is paying everyone to actually generate such positive press.

The device manufacturers probably laughed in their face when Microsoft went to them pan in hand.

Serious give it a rest. You are clearly and idiot and a Microsoft shill (but I repeat myself).

Idiots like you are making slashdot unreadable these days first by not letting all articles get to the front page using your alternate accounts and the by your top posting with your anti-Google and pro-Microsoft agenda. It's getting fucking annoying.

This idiot is the same guy that also owns all the other shill accounts like cmdrpony, insignin140bytes and interestingfella. The other accounts got karma bombed to oblivion so I guess they are no longer posting in tech articles so they can regain their karma and start shilling again.

Facebook

Submission + - Facebook Responsible for A Third of Divorces in UK (itproportal.com)

hypnosec writes: A recent survey conducted by a UK based divorce website disclosed that 33 per cent behavior divorce petitions filed cite Facebook as a cause for filling for divorce in 2011. In 2009 this figure was 20 per cent. 5000 people were surveyed by Divorce-Online, the UK divorce website, during 2009 and 2011 covering Facebook as a means to check behavior of spouse with the opposite sex and spouses using the social networking platform to comment about their exes post the separation. Three reasons that came out on the top for listing Facebook in divorce petition were inappropriate messages sent to the opposite sex, posting nasty comments about exes, and friends on Facebook reporting about spouse's behavior.

I did not imply that planned obsolescence follows from closed source. If *you* find my previous statements ambiguous then by all means clarify by asking me what I meant. I've repeatedly clarified what I meant yet you still attack the wrong interpretation which makes your final sentence a little ironic. Slashdot is full of idiots that can't read apparently.
