But when you say it's the "hardest thing in the world," what does that mean? Why is it hard?

But that makes it increasingly difficult for Google to have success with new services. Why commit to using and coming to rely on something new if it might be yanked away at some future date? This perspective just boggles my mind. If anyon

Sure, it could. It could also be ahead of its time. Do you have an argument as to why Windows 8 and Windows Phone is not leading edge, besides the fact that it isn't very popular?

Just because change doesn't come directly from these petitions, it doesn't mean they're worthless. They act as a gauge, not necessarily for our government, but for us, showing the amount of support that exists behind a given idea or movemen

Isn't part of the problem that the hardware market hasn't yet put out a good selection of touchscreen devices (tablets, laptops, monitors) to take advantage of Windows 8's core upgrades/features yet? I was in Fry's Electronics last week, we

You're cherry picking bad examples. Good examples I can think of include cameras and phones. The iMac. Hell, the computer as we know it combines things like typewriters, mail, televisions, record players, phones, etc. etc. etc.

I don't get the general perspective that the concept of what the Surface Pro is trying to be is a pointless/undesirable thing. Now, I totally understand the Surface Pro and Windows 8 might not be a _good_ solution to a problem... but there

I have a Galaxy Nexus on Verizon, and live in the Bay Area, so I currently enjoy having decent LTE connectivity. I'm torn about whether I want to get the Nexus 4. I'd really like to see some side-by-side comparisons of performance on things

How about giving credit where credit is due? This shows that the situation is better today than it was yesterday. Yes, I know the ideal would be that all of our issues get resolved immediately. But how about we recognize that this could be

Exactly. Now, my question is, why _doesn't_ this video violate that guideline? Isn't its entire purpose to denigrate Islam?

This type of information has made me rethink my overly-negative opinion of how the United States has chosen to spend its transportation infrastructure efforts. I've always been under the impression that car-centric designs are grossly ineff

I guess this is just semantics, but look where this redirects to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knock-off "Counterfeit consumer goods, commonly called knock-offs, are counterfeit or imitation products offered for sale."

I agree. And I think another issue here is that it isn't the case that Samsung attempts to con people into thinking they're buying an Apple device. Even if you get up in arms saying that Samsung/Android copied certain features from Apple, i

It can hurt you if you were conned into paying a Rolex-level price, and/or thought you were buying an actual Rolex. And maybe you weren't, but I imagine plenty of people are.

Is it possible to Microsoft does not plan to have the Surface be a longtime product of theirs? My impression with the Surface is that it was Microsoft's way of showing the world an example of how Windows 8 devices should work. I did not com

Your choices are: 1. Have a phone/tablet you don't like and complain about it 2. Get a different phone/tablet that you do like. 3. Install a custom ROM. I have a Galaxy Nexus and the Tab 10.1. Installing AOKP made a huge difference, regardi
