If anyone needs smart drugs it's Johann Hari. That he's currently running in scrappy mode does explain the sloppiness of his journalism though. (Note to downvoter: I say this because he's notorious for peppering his feel-good rants with fac

Good point - the bastards have even less justification in hoarding the precious precious data.

Quite. One can't blame companies for being a bit protective of their timetable data. If this kind of data escapes into the wild there's a genuine risk of what is known in the biz as 'having more customers' . When this happens there's a who

Mmmm. Oil-covered soup! I think that one backfires on everybody involved.

Does it however strategically affect WP7's strategic future? Look, the way I see it, WP7 is barely months (weeks?) old. To expect HTML5 support when 'HTML5' is in still flux is silly. MS are still working on their desktop support for good

You have a point, but at the same time MS have no obligation to pander to these hyper-conservative corporations in a way that makes no business sense for them. Perhaps they should promote usage of Chrome on XP ;-) ( http://techie-buzz.com/t

IMO, windsurfer didn't 'point out' anything - he/she speculated as to why WP7 didn't emerge from the womb with HTML5 support, and expressed the speculation more as an assertion of fact.

So there are multiple browsers that support HTML5 on XP. What's the problem again?
42.
by confuzatron 16y ago
But isn't HTML5 a whole bunch of not-standardised-yet technologies? If so, I am not amazed that their brand new platform doesn't support it.

Windows Phone 7 doesnt yet support copy and paste. I would not look at a lack of 'HTML5 support' as strategic.

What they’ve done to get to their GDP number is take the value added of everything that is connected with the internet: rather than the value added by the use of the internet. http://timworstall.com/2010/10/28/dodgy-statistics-here-very.

Digg users appear to be a thin-skinned, shrill bunch to be honest. Perhaps it's just a vocal minority.

I read 'your six hour flight' and thought of a single flight. I didn't read 'series of flights' - that's where I slipped up. I failed at reading.

On a normal flight "switch off electronics while landing" happens once. If you think otherwise you have failed at flying (sorry, couldn't resist re-using your phrase there).

Since you're calling it the English plug, I should mention that they also use it in Wales, Northern Ireland, and Scotland.

Spam friends; obtain bauble. It's not that new an idea. I tend to lose a teeny bit of respect for people who fall for it.

I've been googling for examples of that format to no avail. I just wanted to see if Google's browser supports it.

by confuzatron 16y ago
Except the argument is not applicable to MS due to their large userbase. No-one is going to say "I'm not setting up a Windows machine just to test a niche browser like IE. Screw that".

No, I am arguing that it is a problem which they have absolutely no incentive to solve. They're trying to sell Windows licenses. They have no reason to sweat to make a hardware accelerated IE work on OSX, I'm baffled that people think it'd

Possibly made sense back in the day of MS-only web technologies. Now, not so much.

by confuzatron 16y ago
OK: There is no earthly reason why MS would want to add massively to the development effort of IE (test matrices, abstraction layers, etc etc), in ways that would in no way benefit their customers. Their goal is to provide the best browser

MS making their browser work on other OS's makes about as much sense as MS making their file system explorer app work on other OS's.
