I'm not sure criticisms around cost are as relevant as they used to be. Windows 8 Pro currently sells for $40 on Microsoft's website, and yes, that key can be used to perform a clean install. If you paid $40 to Microsoft every three years w

Has it actually been established that merely linking to copyrighted content is illegal in the United States? I'm not trying to troll, just genuinely curious. My technical understanding of this could be incorrect, but it seems to me that the

If you're talking about MagicISO, I agree, I couldn't live without it. Windows 8's built in functionality is good, but not quite as good. Here's the trick to get MagicISO to install correctly on Windows 8: http://www.windows7hacker.com/ind

Imagine if someone researched and sold exploits to anyone (“terrorists”, foreign governments, etc.) internationally which allowed illegal access to say, real-world bank vaults, nuclear military technology, or high security prisons. Theoreti

Without going near your comments on Capitalism, I don't think Spotify's situation is as clear-cut as you do. Why would I pay $20, $15, or even $11, when I can get the exact same service from at least a dozen other companies for $10/month or

They definitely wouldn't turn a blind eye to an OEM distributing them illegally, though. OEMs shipping Android phones pay Google licensing for the Play Store, Gmail app, etc. From what I understand, most Android OEMs also pay Microsoft ro

I don't have a Galaxy S3 to test this, but my experience with the Galaxy S and Galaxy S2 is that for normal phone numbers, you need to specifically confirm that you want to dial the number. For the code to factory reset the phone, though, s

Who is to say those weren't gargantuan undertakings as well? The relationship between Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 is closer than that, though. My understanding is that both will make calls to the same WinRT APIs, meaning a significant amo

Isn't this the perfect use case for Windows 8, though? Your wife would have no trouble finding the Internet Explorer (or even Chrome) tile prominently featured on the Metro UI launch screen.

If they price it very low ($10 to $20), I can imagine this eating into their sales of desktop Office products. On the other hand, if they price it similarly to existing Office licenses, would many people buy it?

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the language itself can be used on almost any platform with gcc, not just OS X.

On the other hand, they could easily provide paid service internationally but choose not to. It's disingenuous enough when the word 'stealing' is re-purposed in discussions about copyright infringement, since it is very doubtful that every

So you can opt out then, since they're not doing enough to address your concerns. They're being upfront about it, though, and putting that choice in your hands.

RadioShack only asks for your zip code. It pops up and asks when ringing something up. They can just hit escape if you don't want to tell them.

And who paid the carrier? I pay AT&T upwards of $3000/year, and when I upgrade, they still charge me $100-$200 for the phones I want. I'm pretty sure I'm paying them for that.
