Even concerns of immediate profit aside, MSFT will definitely see it as in their interest to have a strong Windows brand in the mobile handsets market. The reason marketing has been quiet of late is more likely due to the impending release

Are there two different sizes used for 11? I have two 11s next to each other, one with font-size 10.135196568048482px, and the other 6.871829374810328px.

But you know that every single one of your 256 great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfathers were at least second generation immigrants? I'm sorry, but I find that hard to believe.

Presumably it's appearing on various domains as those countries move into the fifth. Edit: blog says that it's appearing in the US on the 6th. http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/happy-birthday-freddi...

With respect to app development, which has been incredible in how widespread it's become, it's possible it's just an extension of what the Web started: incredible democratisation of creation.

This doesn't negate releasing an update of the e-ink Kindle; though I don't think this will necessarily happen. I can definitely see another Kindle pricedrop on the cards for the Holiday season though.

I'm not convinced that Amazon will be marketing it in the Kindle sector. Kindle at the moment is very much associated as a device incredibly well suited to reading a book, and the existing third generation one is incredible at this. If I'm

In truth, I only say "far fetched" in the context of fifty years of hindsight. I don't know what was perceived as relatively far-fetched in 1964.

There's a fuller version here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KT_8-pjuctM&feature=relat... The next prediction gets a bit more far-fetched, by suggesting bio-engineering chimpanzees as some form of slave labour.

Surely there's been a sufficient trend of posts, particularly more recently with a number of Google+ links, that google.com is no longer seen as being indicative of anything?

As long as their tablets aren't using eInk, I'm sure there will remain a huge market for the existing Kindle.

Whilst I don't disagree that there is a widespread culture of fear in many communities, I'm not convinced that this has manifested in a significant trend of parents not allowing children to play outside. Do you have any data for this?

It pretty incredible that in both of OP's experiences with SVN, he's persuaded the client to move across to git! That seems a pretty unusual move for a client to take on the behest of a contractor.

Did you read the article, out of interest? If you haven't been in a McDonald's lately, you might assume that the company simply has been the beneficiary of the struggling economy in the U.S. and elsewhere in the world, and that cost-consci

There's definitely leniency. Depending on the case, I believe the standard tariff reduction for a sufficiently early Guilty plea is 1/3.

I don't see anything to suggest that this need be any more than a coincidence of names; there's nothing that that search returns except user profiles that happen to be on porn sites.

I didn't take the quote out of context any more than you did in the grandparent! I definitely have a problem with the Government restricting the flow of that information; but that doesn't mean that the flow itself isn't problematic at times

I don't see how it's controversial to say that the "free flow of information can sometimes be a problem"? Obviously this freedom can cause problems for some at times; but this is a price we pay for a free and open society.

This is a slightly tired and broadly awful analogy. The rioters this week haven't shared the same motivations, determination or moral conviction of "rebel" (but now recognised) Libyan Government. If I were Libyan, this comparison would be f
