I don't know man but look at Windows phone, it's been dead for years. That's my own opinion, but if there wasn't a free Android OS, Windows Phone would still be alive and kicking. Same for BlackBerry.

Submission + - ITU Give Consent to New 40Gbps Fibre-to-the-Home Broadband Standard
Mark.JUK writes: The International Telecommunication Union has just granted first-stage approval (“consent“) to two new ultrafast Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) optical broadband standards. The first (NG-PON2) will support Internet download speeds of 40Gbps (Gigabits per second) and on top of that the new XGS-PON aims to deliver a symmetric 10Gbps service (same upload and download rate).
By comparison the previous XG-PON standard only ensured an asymmetric speed of 10Gbps download and 2.5Gbps upload. Now all we need is computers, Internet services and WiFi networks that can actually harness such performance in the first places.

Submission + - Release of ReactOS 0.4 brings open source Windows closer to reality (techrepublic.com)
jeditobe writes: What's new in ReactOS 0.4?
The release of ReactOS 0.4 brings improved file system support, including native, out-of-the-box support for ext2, ext3, and ext4, as well as read-only support for NTFS.
Additionally, the bundled version of UniATA was updated to add better support for SATA and PATA devices. Support was generally improved for third-party device drivers, making it substantially easier to install and use real hardware, as opposed to just virtual machines like VirtualBox.
The internal WINE library was updated to improve support for Win32 programs. Support for Python 2.7 was added, making it possible to use python scripts in ReactOS. A substantial number of visual changes were added, with a vastly improved shell and file explorer, newer icons throughout ReactOS, improved support for fonts, and customizable visual themes.
Even with these improvements, ReactOS 0.4 is still generally considered alpha-level software, though Alexander Rechitskiy, the innovation manager for ReactOS, notes that 0.4.1 may be almost beta-level software.
