http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/faqs.aspx Q. What is the difference between Office and Office 365? Office is productivity software (including Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, and OneNote) that is installed on your desktop or lap

I'm not sure if you didn't read to the end, but he's clearly been removed, despite lukewarm protests to the contrary. "I'm not sure what they're doing [...] but if I was there I'd [...]". I'm reading between the lines here, but he's not sho

Pretty sure they see the SAS office stuff as their bread and butter going forward - they have been steering SMB to office 365 for more than a year.

Reminds me of the old expression: "fast, cheap, good. pick two." When we were largely buying shrink wrapped software they almost all came with decent sized manuals (quality varied, of course). He tagged the post with a bunch of open source

As a teaching moment? I've been told a story about a group of embassy staffers (state department, not the other kind) that were in the habit of being rather loose with sensitive conversations over the local telephones. This was during the c

Such a small set of testers especially considering how many of them will go to friends/industry probably means they are expecting to get buried under a shit storm of bugs.

If you want to be taken seriously as an online wallet then do what every other currency depository does - tell the public about your 3rd party deposit insurance, and tell your insurer about your security. Anyone unable or unwilling to secur

While they haven't announced any of it in public, it does seem hard to believe they'd be migrating running applications. It's much more likely that they're targeting nx page sharing, you'd still have build the os for both isas, but it'd all

Well that's the first time I've ever read a complex justification for firing people who don't like you in the new york times.

To clarify: The idea isn't that you'll remember a picture, but rather that you might recognize a child you already know.

You can't license WinRT unless you're selling the hardware.

It seems like Apple would be a pretty good candidate for the "Heterogeneous System Architecture" work AMD has been doing, x86_64 and ARM on the same SOC. Leave the x86 cores off when you don't need them.

by trotsky 14y ago
Wait, you're suggesting that you're going to be running an x86 emulator on winrt for apps access? That is pretty unlikely to be a realistic solution unless you're only looking for very old apps - try running an arm emulator on x86 to get a

Seems like the top listing for most categories is mostly there because they seem to do informal support via twitter leading to people responding happily. I'm not knocking them, I've never heard of them and they certainly could be great, but

I missed this the first time around, is there a paper in addition to the blog post? I am wondering if I misunderstand common implementations of PWA 2 enterprise. I was under the impression that mschapv2 was only used inside the server (or m

Thanks for linking that paper, fascinating, the thought had never occurred to me.

It's a pretty safe bet that the money is related to django as the last time i looked nearly all of the activity on gittip was django related. And if you're going to define "open company" I think I'd shoot a little higher than open source pr

I'm pretty sure the implementation of lenses in the Unity dash is conceptually similar to pages in a web browser. You would have to switch to the shopping lens before your keystrokes were pushed to the search provider (Amazon in this case).

Is that accurate that they never pay? I thought they refused to discuss it. I didn't mean to suggest that it refuted your point either way though, as I generally agree.

I'm not sure if that's darwin terminology, but calling a process that's blocking on io or in a tight loop "frozen" certainly isn't tradition in UNIX - you're much more likely to use hung or stuck. In linux specifically the term has a comple

The advertising buys are misleading, as Apple doesn't include (or directly disclose afaik) the money spent on their paid placements, which anyone who watches western media knows is quite substantial.

its as if they want to make it known that they are unashamadly, and without apology, cloning to the pixel, rather than taking the same idea and taking it into a new market. There is an element of cheek and disrespect that detracts from the

Too bad the remote desktop tool that comes with office is still pixel doubled, the win8 engine looks great in hidpi under fusion.

While I understand you point, it's rather thin - they are comparing the newest smartphone chip from apple with the newest smartphone chip from intel. Intel brought their best low power engineering to the table - haswell won't be available u
