Exactly. I would want FxOS on it. But the truth is, apps will still be a major problem, the one which plagues it right now.

What's the value of your anecdotal experience?

"I've always believed, and I still think it would be true - if Nokia would adopt Android, they could probably even beat Samsung." How is his belief a reality? Even the conjecture that he uses to advance Android over WP in fol

You are always on a MS bashing diatribe. Interesting thing I noticed. Well if they go Android, they have to include Google Maps to make their phone a viable contender to Galaxy series. And that directly undermines their HERE maps business,

Why would I directly use it through browser and not third parties? What is their differentiating factor? I am not being facetious, but just being curious. I only know 4 square and maybe Apple uses their data.

There are other researchers too, who disclose bugs to Microsoft without spewing unnecessary vitriol? And he was being irresponsible. Microsoft's security division has been proactive earlier, regarding zero-days [1]. Also at this stage,

No, default power settings on a laptop do that, if it is put in a power saving or Balanced mode. It is not a specific IE option, but Windows OS option.

This is what i thought too, especially since it is visible among all the subjects.

Can you put up the CBSE results please? Simple csv aggregate file will suffice. I will do some analysis on that too.

The guy is playing the press, and enjoying the limelight on him by terming his data mining process as hacking in the opening paragraphs complete with juicy quotes, and this is why this article does not even mention the anomalies in the test

How is that misleading Y-axes? The intervals are same, only thing that will be different is the resolution, and going into that fine resolution amplifies the difference. I will not say it as misleading in a slightest bit.

"IE9/IE10 also led the way in terms of fast, pervasive hardware acceleration for browser rendering - while Firefox and Chrome had HW accel first in certain scenarios, IE was early to the game when it comes to using hardware to render entire

The error in the results is not given, depending upon that it can be a significant difference too. or maybe IE is really energy optimized.

Thank you for the documentary links. And it is admirable of Stephen Fry to come out and say that he attempted suicide. Someone close to me attempted one too, and this documentary puts another light on it. Thank you again. :)

To be fair, the study's authors have made it clear in the study's pdf that it was commissioned on Microsoft's request and other requests that MS made and how the test beds were running. It looks fairly neutral and can be replicated. They do

In portable computing, it can help battery last longer. Just because it is not user facing, does not mean it should be ignored by engineers.

it looks like it was with 3 tabs open. It obviously needs more testing since the difference between three browsers is small. The study can be easily replicated, as the procedure is mentioned in detail in the study's pdf.

Here is the study: http://download.microsoft.com/download/7/2/0/7204397B-DF32-4... And admittedly it is in detail including sites used and test bed. The difference in power draw upon firing IE, Mozilla and Chrome is small, but it is there

Yup. Look at his work ex with VS, DX3D, C# and his visceral hate towards Microsoft after getting successful is telling. I get it, he is a developer who has to be in know of all the technologies but maybe he developed those strong opinions a

What is this kind of thinking? Really? It is better than fiddling around. Let me not read books/manuals on how to make iOS apps, general relativity, and how to set cruise control on KIA Forte since wvenable says I have already lost. There i

I love Windows 8 too. It feels refreshing just to see the lock screen on this bad boy. I can play hydro thunder, gravity guy, and then go back to writing my paper and churn out MATLAB calculations. I can press start button and look at weath

Hyperbole. If you don't want to type... fine, look for things on the Start screen, mouse and click through. For me, Start Screen changes nothing, it is a welcome change from the menu. Windows 8 possess excellent work flow for me, and i adap

True. A tutorial other than two screens at the beginning would have saved a lot of hassle. I learnt a lot of shortcuts through Yash Tolia's blog. Regarding programs, every program installed leaves a clutter of things on the Start Screen, th

I hate the non-inclusion of the universal search, it is annoying, I heard Apple has a patent on that but then MS and Apple have some kind of agreement too.

Same way as before, open start screen and type the program name.

If I understand it correctly, Aamir Khan is one of the biggest stars of Indian Cinema and all of his movies have been hit with indian public. Another big thing is, he has been associated with a TV Show, which airs on NDTV (presumably a well

India, Pessimism, Chailatte... jolly good combination. Spineless, apathy, unfeeling....it is like filling the keyword quota for a job description. As if Bill Gates is there to fix all of your ruses with India. How about letting him do what
