You're completely missing the enterprise side of the equation, which is still a booming part of MSFTs business right now. And they are still a goliath in Enterprise (Windows Server…

It's not even that readable on my box.

Lending on the Kindle has worked pretty well for me. Can you clarify why it's lame? Also, can you name a device that Amazon doesn't support, apart from the Nook? I frequently read …

That's not a valid comparison. The iPad with 3G does not include the cost of the data connection. This includes a 100MB/month connection with the cost of the subscription.

Is it just me, or does this guy have his definitions swapped. That, or I've been wrong this whole time: I've always thought of hackers as more freewheeling, possibly with less form…

I'm definitely going to give it a look. For some reason I thought the single window layout wasn't coming till this version. The multiwindow layout wouldn't be so awful if OSX were …

Per your point #3: I spend a lot of time in both Windows 7/VS2010 AND OSX/XCode (along with a smidgen of time in Ubuntu as well) and crashes are just about a thing of the past in a…

I would say 'free' beats it, even at $5. Still, it's gonna be worth it for the single window interface alone.

3. Yup. I'm exclusively accessing internet through 3G right now, and I'm only 15 minutes from town. No DSL or cable options for me. 4. I agree it's been totally oversold. Those "To…

I'm not saying it will succeed (that remains to be seen) but: 1. Not if you don't have the money for a computer in the first place. My grandparents would really like to get online,…

I think price is the real key. If it's around the $200 mark, I'll probably even pick one up for surfing while sitting on the couch or toilet. My grandparents need/want a laptop, an…

There are plenty of criticisms to hurl at Microsoft, but I just don't see how 'not innovating' is one of them. The Kinect is highly innovative and it the fastest selling gadget in …

The counter is pretty cool. It will probably up my productivity/decrease my browsing at work. The only problem is I'm experiencing a much higher than normal rate of tab crashes. I …

In our online store 'The safer, easier way to pay.' is a part of the page. The logo gif and the markup is part of the specs when you implement Paypal. The code looks like this, and…

My initial response to this: turkeys can fly even without a strong wind. They're agile, and extremely crafty. This is a terrible metaphor.

Yes, this. There isn't really a single avenue of study at University you can choose where you shouldn't encounter this. Unless you can make it through a degree without writing a si…

This is...an interesting approach. Reddit is far from a Microsoft loving community; it will be interesting to see 1. If Microsoft can get some good feedback (they should be able to…

Thanks, I will check it out as it has been about a year. I think about 80% of my preference was simply familiarity.

The dev tools in IE8 are pretty darn good. I still use Firebug as my primary, but when I'm chasing an IE specific bug, the dev tools are pretty solid. I even prefer them to Chrome'…
