Well, they can make a more expensive / difficult to get (for an individual) version, similarly to how it works with Windows 10.

I'm genuinely surprised Microsoft allows disabling of those automatic updates...

Let's see, what's worse... Giving access to data in supposedly limited cases to an authority that's supposed to do it for the protection of the people, or; sell the data to numerous third parties, who further make money of th

This reminds me of China condemning Russia's annexation of Crimea. I wonder why is that.

I don't think it has any direct affect on those areas. Australasia has TPP, Canada has NAFTA.

What makes you think the lobbyists haven't already "processed" MEPs? European institutions, no matter how high-level, haven't exactly been showing great judgement or interest in doing the good thing.

So what are the odds that this is just an act, whether Apple knows about it or not?

Good. The sooner Skype ends, the better.

Yes, it can be illegal. But it also can be legal. Therefore it's exactly what's Google done. I'm talking in normal English, not in American lawyers' English. But sure, keep being an apologist and call people who blame, a

>It's not "tax dodging", it's "tax avoidance" Ah, I see why someone like you would think it's completely acceptable. http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/dodge

Tax dodging is also against the spirit of the law, which is a direct result of companies lobbying for loopholes they can use. Said companies are the initiators, not the corrupt/dumb politicians (who are, of course, also to blame).

That's like saying "don't blame the murderer, blame police for not saving you while you were being continuously stabbed for two hours"...

Well, if Google keeps dodging taxes, I'll keep dodging any advertising and snooping they might employ. Not that tax-dodging was the only reason for that, but it could be a sole reason for it.

by Aoyagi 11y ago
Well, you said it yourself. The companies do lobby for loopholes, knowing they will be better off than other. As a results, the companies in question have at least the same share of blame as the politicians.

I guess. Are they always failing/breaking? Then again, those things are by-products, Razer's peripherals are its main business. My guess is that the Razer thing is based on a Clevo frame. If that's the case, I'd somewhat

No, I just have plenty of experience with Razer's accessories.

And while we're at it, why don't we have some VA or even OLED matte displays for laptops?

by Aoyagi 11y ago
Razer and built quality or reliability don't go well together.

Panasonic makes such great laptops. Too bad it's hard to get them outside of Japan.

Just an example of how to treat an "unsupported" product somewhat nicely.

I've never said anything about "freedom"... Driver is used by applications as an interface between the OS and the hardware. It's not just that it's default. The OS was clearly designed with that in mind, whilst Andr

Heh, of course not. Making a power-user focused flagship doesn't make a lot of business sense. From that point of view, iOS is more capable (of making money) and better in general due to ease of use. But "ease of use" is not

Can you, on stock Android, just go and delete system files? Or even do something as simple as editing hosts? Kill system processes? Make multiple users with various rights? Set file/folder permissions? Share files over local network? I

Well, the last Symbian devices weren't supposed to be locked down. Heck, there's even the Delight fork. http://n8delight.blogspot.co.uk/ At the time of PW 808 the OS was on the level of iOS, but nobody cared then,
