   Sorry for the ambiguity. My intention was to communicate that I didn't think anyone would buy the idea that MS is hip and an open-standards advocate.

   Why do they even call it 'internet' explorer? It really is just a 'web' explorer isn't it?

   Isn't his real concern that he could be electrocuted for this?

   Nice work Sherlock. Except I must say as a counter example that I am British and I flip-flop between using 'from' and not using 'from' in such sentences.

   As pointed out by many, this is even more proprietary than any plugin. Microsoft are fricken idiots, they are trying to be hip and open standards etc but nobody is going to buy it, at the same time they are annoying everyone who couldn&#x2

   Way to go extrapolating crass generalisations from one dud interview. Every single dev team I have come across thinks they are the duck's nuts, and the team leads even more so, resulting in embarrassing overconfidence in their own opi

   This sounds like a plugin in disguise.

   That wasn't very convincing. Basically, 'family sharing' is nothing but letting someone use a demo, hurray. Whenever I buy a used game I wouldn't even consider buying at full retail. So there is no market share being los

    One important point that seems to be missed is that they really want to isolate what mechanism is causing the effect rather than planning to dose everyone with silver.

    Why is it that almost every single article / debate ends up with someone finding a weird tangent blaming / criticizing Obama? Not being a US citizen, I really don't care about your politics, but these sort of nonsensical comm

    I like the sound of overdosing on silver and permanently turning blue / grey

    I think google still associates searches with 'you' even if you are logged out, via cookies, browser/os/ip fingerprint.

    I love DuckDuckGo, but there is one problem, the search results are generally poor. I have to revert to google very regularly to find what I want, particularly for technical searches. I am going to persist, but at this stage I am limiting

    Its not a big deal, google should quietly announce they are retiring the API and the government can try and contact someone at google.

    You are probably the only one that believes his statement.

    An alternative explanation is that what he says is not true.

    I thought this post was mildly interesting until I hit this statement : "I am surprised that no one I met in Windows Azure team heard about Heroku or Rackspace" Aside from the obvious ambiguities, this simply cannot be true.

    I agree but I'm not sure I want to post that on a public forum (I assume the NSA is parsing HN). Doh!

    There is a cost in not getting your ACL repaired. I waited 4 years (due to the fact that the buffoon physios / doctors I saw didn't diagnose it correctly) and put on 20kg in the interim because I stopped playing sport.

    It is worth contemplating that 'quality' doesn't exist without a 'subject' and an 'object'. There is no such thing as universal quality. In other words, what you might class as poor quality might be good quality to someone else (some othe

    Next thing people will be telling me how to look out the window. Maybe there is a book in that?

    I wouldn't call this man-in-the-middle, they are the man at both ends and in the middle. MITM usually refers to 3rd parties routing your traffic. So if your ISP or network admin was sniffing your Skype messages, that would be what is gener
