I think it's not a matter of having a military but it's relevant how big it is and how much people are working for it (direct or indirect). Keeping the balance. There are so many people working for them or dependent through govern

I wonder what "strategic changes" they did at Opera? So far they have shut down all their interesting projects (like Opera Unite), their browser has been highly customizable (the UI, not even needing addons) which was abandoned co

Fingerprint readers were always a joke and unreliable. Like on old IBM Thinkpads. Nobody used them, people "hacked"/fooled them easily. I was surprised that Apple brought them back, probably just for convienience reasons.

Can't wait when Windows XP finally gets dumped by MS. I suspect a nightmare for a lot of companies and lots of crying towards MS. I hope they don't change their decision to drop XP next year.
