I once decided to cut cord to the vanity light in my car (long story why). Even though the car was off I was able to get quick a scare. Lesson, electricity in a car is not off when…

I don't even think you need to call them jerks. Just say something like, "Our new licensing deals have us moving to a model where we are charged, not for how often you stream video…

A couple of points: * People forget that Microsoft is used to selling Windows that runs on multiple architectures. They had(have?) Itanium, DEC Alpha, PowerPC, and MIPS in the past…

The other thing that is interesting is: "Android and iOS are covered tons in the media, and Windows Phone—surprisingly for a Microsoft product—seems to have missed the boat on bran…

A lot of people wondered why in the world would MS endorse a 4'7" phone (the HTC Titan). From people I know who work retail, including a cousin who works for ATT retail, people com…

Mary Jo Foley just came out and said the exact opposite now: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/microsoft/microsoft-desktop-apps-w... Sinofsky is of course the person to listen to, but I'm …

What's this Back berry OS? :-)

Others do have the PDF. Seems to just vary. Most of the ones I clicked did have full papers attached.

Thanks. That is definitive.

OK. And Windows on ARM won't run Amiga apps either. You and I both know that's not really related to what the poster stated. The poster said that ARM will only run Metro apps. You …

Has that been stated or confirmed?

I seemed to remember reading somewhere that Microsoft weren't going to take a cut, No cut of legacy apps I believe. Although Metro apps are HTML5 right? Some are. Can also be manag…

I don't mind having both worlds, in fact I like it, I just don't want them so intermingled. When coding, doing a research paper, or going through my finances, I want classic deskto…

There are no downsides when you decline to talk Doesn't the highlighted section actually note that silence can be used against you? It would seem you need to decline to talk and re…

This depends. For most startups what you say is true. You can launch 5 times and most wouldn't notice. But for a startup with a lot of press, a bad launch can hurt momentum (I'd th…

Doesn't work on IE5 mobile. :-) (I did actually try though)

That's horrible. This article did also remind me to cancel my streaming (but now I'll wait until the end of the month ;-). I'm going the surprising route of doubling down on DVDs n…

Congats! I never heard of Etude, but looks really cool. Gonna go get it (if it's still available).

Isn't it amazing to see how much MS is driving the industry. Apple is doing a smartphone, TV focused UI, tablet, and cloud services. :-)

If that's the case then it would be great to hear the reason from one of you who are on the C# design team and reading news.yc :) I'd second that. Maybe someone @MS could send this…

What the C# designers don't seem to have noticed is that async/await is very closely related to LINQ and could have been built as a new syntax on top of LINQ. Considering the C# de…

You nailed it. The other thing is that .NET devs generally aren't framework devs. They're app devs. With that said, there are some nice frameworks that exist, but competing against…

I see you confuse being available (as in "I kept a copy around") with being alive and actively developed. I see you confuse source being available with being alive and actively dev…

That's right, photoshop isn't going to be going Metro anytime soon, and neither is Matlab, or Autocad, or Excel, or video editing software, or any "Pro" program (for lack of a bett…
