Or it’s also got Kinect set up!

Can’t be that quick can it? Whenever I need to access the BIOS, I just hammer the button repeatedly.

Grammar error! It’s more gooder! Learn your Engrish.

Really? I find the OSX UI to be boring and unusable sometimes – or it may be my lack of experience with it. I hate all the grey, that with a top/bottom multi-monitor setup, the menu bar is always on the top screen, and that Expose (at least on Snow Leopard) becomes useless. The Finder is also completely nonsense, and hate that the layout of the MacBook keyboard is non-standard (@ is different position, and # is hidden – which is a pain as a front end developer).

I just want a sort option where I can see my most used apps, and my latest download/s, as I can’t always remember the names of the apps I have.

Worse idea ever, why would they introduce another unnecessary middle man, when they don’t need to?

One of my big hate for Bing is Ciao, it’s just crap.

I’m not sure if you’re talking about Bing, or just having a rant about privacy in general, because no private information is shared, only your public posts, public tweets etc are.

Also, search engines are both “subjective” and “objective” already – as part of the ranking algorithm would rely on behaviours of other people (not just your friends/family/etc).

What about Ballmer, Ballmer, Ballmer?

Not sure how much concentration it’ll take by wearing this, as this may cause accidents.

Surely there must have been something similar to this in movies/tv shows?

The TV’s probably assembled with an Allen key.

I was going to sarcastically say that “We all know The Verge hates Microsoft”, but if that was his reason, then he’s just plain lying, as the stats can’t be the reason for omitting the favicon.

I bet that the number of people viewing the website in IE (any version that uses favicon.ico) outnumbers those who access the site via their home screen from an iOS device, because, like the favicon.ico, it’s one line in the HTML, and probably required more effort in creating the graphic than it is to convert the PNG to ICO.

I don’t think Google would have rolled out certain features, or at least as quickly, if Bing hadn’t come along. The most obvious one being the preview.

I’m a web developer, so I’ve always preferred the multi-monitor setup; check browser on one, programmer on the other. But I’d go for 2×24in instead (or 3×24 if your budget/space allows for it).

Spike TV?

There’s probably also a decline in the number of laptops with an internal optical drive.

That’s a shame, because it’s really good. You were probably too busy reading the book of cliches.

Nah, Intel copied BMW first with the 3, 5 and 7.

Who actually buys LG phones? They all look cheap and ugly, but I guess given their history as Lucky Goldstar, it’s not entirely surprising.

Ahh, the ultrabook, apparently inspired by Intel according to their ad.

Was good until I remembered I pay £8.99 for my Zune Pass.

I know that it predates Motorola’s acquisition, but if Google truly wanted to use their patents solely for defensive purposes like they have said on numerous occasions, I can’t imagine they couldn’t stop this with just a simple phone call. We all know that Google wanted to do away with H264 for a while, so it’s not like they won’t gain anything out of this.

Personally, I don’t have a problem with companies playing offense with their patents, but if you’re going to publicly denounce other companies doing so, you shouldn’t do the same. I know they’re acting as separate entities, but my point is that Google is still paying the bills, and this isn’t an unstoppable train if their principle is to use their patents defensively.

After Bing came out, Google came out with:
1) Page previews
2) Infinite scrolling on images
3) LH navigation
4) Social integration

But seriously, we should all just get over it, they all copy each other, whilst refining a little bit and adding more features, forcing the other to refine and add more. This is how it works, and this is how it helps us as users.

Is this an example of getting your ugly stepchild to do the dirty work, and denying involvement, even if Google is ultimately footing the legal bills?

I am curious, since I’m not familiar with how mobile plans work in the US, is it mandatory for people to get a new phone when their contract ends? In the UK and Australia, when it expires, you just pay month to month contract free until you change the phone, or your plan.

It was hilarious when he headbutted the box.

Insignificant like swipe to unlock?

Isn’t Skydrive available to all Live Account, in which case, would that extend to all Xbox owners, and all Win8 users (as it’s required for login)?

They have a monopoly on the tablet market, and unlike Windows, you can’t create applications that replicate included functionality, which is ridiculous. It’d be like Windows not allowing application to run 3rd party media players or browsers that goes MS in trouble.

It’s the pink isn’t it? Does it make you feel less manly using it? ;)
