I've always liked Opera, and only it's incompatibilities stop me using it, but I'm really not sure about this Unite thing. One tiny flaw and who-knows-what is published across the web. And with my crappy upload speeds, it would be impractical anyway.
Get your browser compatible first, then start of extras like this.
£22bn can be generated by people talking to each other online? She thinks lifetime earnings can increase over £10,000 just by being online? Only if we can all start some dumbassed cheap-o holiday website, perhaps. The woman is delusional.
Please carry on and drop digitally inclusive storylines into Eastenders, though, it can only improve the show after all...
"These infrastructures that we run - and that Google does too - are so large, you can't really rely on individuals to manually make these decisions on an application failing-over from one [data center] site to another. Essentially, it all has to be built into automation software that makes these types of decisions."
Were you using all that to store T-Mobile Sidekick customers' data?
Didn't think so....
As an Apple user I don't really give a monkey's what Ballmer does. But his problem is focusing on his competitors. Sinking billions into Bing just so he can "kill Google?" That's not the action of a competent businessman. And his buffoonery and stupidity (his iPhone comments are classic) are embarrassing to watch.
Historically, with no real competition, MS have never had to produce a quality product, resulting in shoddy, mediocre offerings. Now their products have to stand up against true competition their poor quality shows - and Ballmer is the wrong guy to correct that.
"The same people who need a compass on a phone are probably still in denial about Clarks Commandos no longer being made. If you need one to tell you where your friends are then maybe they are hiding from you and the house brick iBling you are carrying."
Pointless post. Sad. Very sad.
Back on topic, while Android might be doing well, I can't see Chrome OS becoming that huge a competitor to full-blown OSs. Apple are just ensuring that they don't rely on a competitor as part of their business.
"Their mistake is having anything whatsoever to do with crApple in the first place when it's the most anti-competitive company on Earth (yes, more so than Microsoft even, by a longshot)."
Yawn. You anti-Apple-tards keep wheeling this one out every time. You know, just because you keep saying something over and over again doesn't make it true. Your assertion that Apple are more anti-competitive than Microsoft proves you have no clue what you are talking about. Hey... are you Steve Ballmer?
RIM are probably using the iTunes XML database for syncing - XML, of course, being that closed, anti-competitive data file format that no-one but Apple uses.
I still see nothing but a CGI rendering, not a prototype. I have a rendering of the Starship Enterprise, does that make it a late prototype?
@alistair millington: If Asus did one of these, it would drop in half as soon as you opened it. Apple will make a tablet work, all the others will be shite.
"Locking competitors out of the iTunes store when it is the dominant music download store in the market is anti-competitive."
No it isn't. There are many other sources for purchasing music. Check your dictionary for "anti-competitive" before posting.
Also check the dictionary for "fool" - you'll find a picture of Bill Gould.
"Stallman's privacy concerns are such that he avoids using mobiles in general."
Following on from that, he presumably doesn't shop at supermarkets, doesn't use a credit or debit card, doesn't take utilities such as water or electricity, doesn't pay taxes, doesn't have internet access, and a whole host of other privacy-busting activities.
If he's that worried about an iTunes upgrade, perhaps he should be living in a cave, in case "They" come and get him.
