1. Comment - When do you want Windows 8?

   (Jun 15, 2011 - 11:28 PM)

   I'd like to see it in 1.5 years, fully baked, with powerful hardware to support it and a good selection of powerful apps ready for the new architecture on ARM just waiting to be used.
   
   1. Personal
   2. Win7 x64
   3. 1 year?
   4 & 5. Efficency (power, speed, base resources required). Don't need bloat in the new OS.

2. Comment - If Google hasn't killed the yellow pages yet, Seattle law could

   The first part of the Dex One response is particularly ridiculous. They are essentially claiming that since the ordinance doesn't cover every form of unsolicited mail it is therefore unfair.
   
   Let's look at the same principle in another context.
   
   What if we restricted pharmaceutical companies from producing new drugs unless they were safe and worked for everyone. Not suitable for children under age two? Then nobody gets it. Not safe for pregnant women? Too bad for everyone else too!
   
   The opt-out ordinance for the yellow pages is a 'step in the right direction'. If successful then perhaps more sources of unsolicited mail will be added on in following years.
   
   My two cents.

3. Comment - Group: Net Censorship Becoming a Problem

   (Jun 8, 2007 - 4:55 AM)

   I've got to agree with censorship being a problem. I live in China and run into the bamboo firewall constantly. It's not limited to 'sensitive' issues either. What to do?

4. Comment - Linux Foundation: We Have Our Own Patent 'Arsenal'

   (May 25, 2007 - 10:00 PM)

   So this is what a "Cold War" looks like in the 21st Century... If you set off your patent attacks, we'll set off ours and the whole world will be destroyed!

5. Comment - Linux-Powered Dells Begin Shipping

   This is fantastic news. At the same time consider that they have signed their first (albeit limited) deal to sell their PC's to WalMart.
   
   Good things happening for Linux! And in the next 5 years time if they are able to finally get a FIRM foothold in the mainstream, as well as booster their image, not only will Linux improve - but it will force Microsoft to respond by lowering prices, particularly on Office. Who will pay hundreds of dollars for office when they can see real people around them using a real office alternative (All hail OpenOffice)??
