Linux may be the dominant platform, but that doesn't mean Windows doesn't have a very significant share either: http://w3techs.com/technologies/overview/operating_system/al...

Doesn't seem to be that efficient though. Random stuff doesn't burn as hot as coal or oil.

Probably because all those big frameworks have to initialize everything for every request. Parsing, connections, configuration, you name it.

Would it be too much to ask to also run a Windows VM? Or use Mono?

Unless, of course, you have these millions and millions of apps that need your on kernel to run.

Because Adobe's Creative Suite does not run on Linux.

Sure. And you have 10 of those MSDN subscriptions, one for each developer. You can't use say 20 small instances for one site, but you can use 2 instances for 20 separate sites/services.

We're using Azure Web Sites for our site (public/admin), planning on using storage and cloud services soon. It's been very fast and perfectly reliable, also free thanks to BizSpark =)

I would like to know how they plan to get Firefox and Chrome to support that. As free software, adding such functionality would be moot, as it can be trivially by-passed. Or do they want to ignore about 80% of Internet users?

So why can't the browser save the frames then? That's not DRM.

Amazon and Microsoft EU instances are managed by EU companies; the US doesn't have any leverage over those.

This is why I don't want to have anything to do with hosting providers who only have US hosting available. My clients wouldn't be terribly happy; nor would I about this. Heck, it probably is illegal for us to store customer data in the US i

That's all it is basically. MPAA & RIAA can't just ask the cops to go and take a look; they won't be able to find anything.

They haven't found any concrete flaws though. Just speculation and outright wrong information. The "If you can break SSL, you can break MEGA." made my day. I think MEGA is the least of your worries if SSL is broken; credit card transactions

Depending on the definition of developing countries, I think you would find "developing" countries can have much better connections than many western developed countries. This is $10/mo: http://www.speedtest.net/result/2436462597.png (loc

People do seem to like Humble Bundle too. That's a great way to advertise and get some cash as an indie.

If you product is junk then nobody will buy it (within experimental error). Steam sales consistently pull in a heap-load of sales and there's been lots more this year than the previous. I think if say COD9 would be $10, not $60 it would sel

The MPAA & RIAA are blind. They'd make a LOT more money if buying the real thing was easier than 1) spending time hunting for it online; 2) waiting for it to download; and 3) if it weren't overpriced. Same for games. $60 for a damn gam

Maps doing stuff in background? That's the location service being used by another app, commonly weather apps. As for G+/Talk, disable sync or sign out of Talk.

aTech Media has had Point free for a while. AFAIK it supports about the same features.

Google already has this with Checkout (now Wallet) and it isn't terribly popular.
