One thing I miss when using Explorer is Dolphin's split windows. Makes it so much easier to drag a file from one folder to another.

Google Wallet the only Android NFC payment system? I must be imagining being able to pay with EE MasterCard NFC on my Samsung S4 then?

How about some 50fps videos? Actually, I'd settle for 25fps.

Not every country uses 30/60fps like the USA, why not release them in 25/50fps too?

Do you honestly think that retail outlets will even consider selling computers without those stickers?
That's a tough question. At first we all assume that the stickers must be pretty important, but my guess (pre-looking-at-evidence) is that most retail sellers would in fact be willing to do just that, since users never asked for those stickers in the first place; they're ads.
I wouldn't be so sure about that. When Windows 8 comes out 'Windows 8 certified' will be all over the adverts and retailers such as PC World and Comet will be expected to say things like "this computer is better than that one because it is Windows 8 certified".

Don't worry Microsoft can't even release a version of Windows that uses the proper version of English rather than the American version! Favorits, color etc.

I'm sure they used to do things to speed it up like sending the most viewed pages more often and I've seen some services - ARTE for example - where the pages counted down rather than up, but they also showed messages instead of the clock too. ISTR there were some extensions to the original teletext that would allow up to 4096 colours and other special effects.
