So in other words 5G will be proprietary to Apple. As an Android user...Bring on the 6G!

I'm so excited about this! Microsoft Windows Calculator is hands down one of the most important applications I use on a daily basis. This is vitally important to me! --said no one ever. WTF?

When the poo hit the AMD fan a few weeks ago it was front page news everywhere, but now that it has been slung back at Intel, it's good to see Ars is not making this article front and center, but rather downplaying it a bit. I actually had to search the front page to find it.

A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And, when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we all know, kills brain cells, but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine! That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers. The buffalo theory is concrete proof that getting drunk is good for your intelligence http://www.urbandictionary.com...

Which is to say that GoDaddy hosts a lot of *parked* domains on IIS.

I see Microsoft looking at these two like this: 1) Nokia wants to make Android handsets. By purchasing Nokia Microsoft will gain a solid handset manufacturer and eliminate some competition from the Android marketsphere. Not that it will make much of a dent, but every penny counts... 2) RIM really wants to be Microsoft's handset maker. Microsoft knows it. The corporate world is still a massive profit system for Microsoft and the corporate world can easily connect the Blackberry to their internal email system. And since a lot of IT departments still will not update policies to allow iPhones or Android handsets, Microsoft can bribe companies to stick with Exchange or use it if it's a new company, by giving out mobile email devices that can also substitute as cell phones. *) Then again, this is Microsoft. The company known for not giving us choice might not want a choice itself. It might decide to do both. Purchase both companies and move forward.

I really don't understand all the complaints I have read about KDE. So many complain about requiring a massive system to run KDE but I just don't see it. I have a Thinkpad with the Intel graphics chips and an IdeaPad 10-2 with the Intel graphics chipset and both machines run the latest KDE great. My Thinkpad has a modest set of desktop effects enabled and while running my laptop display of 1680x1050 and my 20" LCD display with 1600x900 my laptop doesn't skip a beat. My wife's IdeaPad only has 1 GB of ram and I can enable all the desktop effects and it works just fine! She doesn't care for the eye candy so I have desktop effects enabled but all manually turned off in the control panel and general usability is very responsive. I think people have Firefox open with 10 tabs or more using up all their ram and they are blaiming it on KDE instead Firefox. I also use VirtualBox quite often with KDE and I completely turn off desktop effects (if they even turn on automatically which they do not always do if I have not installed the vbox tools) and KDE runs great in my vm's with 512 to 768MB of ram. I love KDE. It's fast, it's functional and has not given me trouble since release 4.3
