In the context of the situation it doesn't matter. This person is a member of parliament who's time presumably is valuable and shouldn't be wasted listening to propaganda. Furtherm…

> It's been out for a little over a year in a crowded marketplace. It's been out for 16 months. In that same time both Android and iOS had posted much better sales. Furthermore And…

> Really? How do you know this? Have you gone door to door asking people? Oh oh...an argument I don't agree with. Let me look into the know-nothing bag of rhetorical trick and trot…

Yeah thanks. You just took me from having two devices before, e.g., a tablet and a desktop, and gave me one devices that does neither of the previous unit's respective job as well.…

Yeah just like server 2008 did that for windows phone and windows 7 tablets. Wait...

That's interesting because I'm using ICS on my Xoom right now with a mouse and a keyboard and it works great. The only thing really missing is a keyboard shortcut here and there an…

Ha ha ha. And the inevitable mod down for speaking the truth. I almost had to check the URL bar to see if I was on engadget. What a joke site.

Golden age trilogy is bar none the best hard sci-fi far future trans human sci-fi there is. Highly recommended.

Wow. The great and storied "hacker news". I came here expecting great discussions on the technology of hmd's and am instead subjected to yet another chapter in the Google soap oper…

The main difference is Debian isn't quite as user friendly out of the box. Sudo isn't set up for you for example so you'll be in for a surprise the first time you try to use it. Al…

Comparing a web "sync" to an integrated solution like Dropbox? Tell me another one.

Episode 32432432 in the pissing match between MS and anybody who dares make a dollar in the computing industry. Yawn

You SERIOUSLY need to remove the tinfoil hat. You and the guy you're conversing with are cracking me up.

MS keeps SQL server windows only primarily because they want people to buy Windows. Duh. How is that anti-MS? Naive much?

Like you, I don't wish to disparage what she actually did but calling her a "prodigy" is a bit of a stretch. I see it more of an insult to her memory to over hype her accomplishmen…

"75%...drivers...filesystems...it does seem to be getting quite bloaty" Does the code that supports those drivers and filesystems slow the overall system down in any way? If not, h…

I find compositing to be quite useful on a few scenarios. Hovering the icon over a program in the task bar makes it simple to quickly monitor the operation of a terminal app or wha…

You have no idea what you are talking about.

So you're saying you're a "developer" that was using iOS, planned on going to the Nexus and then you just decided to go to windows phone after playing with a Focus S and now after …

"I don't know why there complaints about the marketplace." Er, because there are 10 times the apps in their competitors' marketplaces. Yes, wp7 has the low hanging fruit covered bu…

"much of [iOS] is dreadfully ugly" This is complete unadulterated bs. Thank you for a good laugh today.

"Everything I want to do is within one click or one swipe" I have an HD7. What I quoted from you is not true.

The comparisons are very appropriate.

Why would they rip off an OS with essentially no market share and dropping fast from there. Windows Phone tiles are just widgets under a different name.
