NASA aborts third attempt at finally settling man-made CO2 debate

Ying Yang?

Skimming through the posts it seems ElReg is haven for CAGW skeptics - that's nice, i wondered why I always found it to be such an informed and balanced source...

Too little too late? don't be preposterous!

It is patently absurd to say the largest software company in the world is in a position of 'too little too late'.

Serious IT decision makers in Government and the Corporate world trust them - and for very good reasons.

And also absurd to lay all the blame with Sinofsky - the buck stopped with Ballmer IM(not so H)O the most inappropriate CEO of a software company EVER (after Klessig of Quadratron) .

Bad decision Bill - BAD!

If 'Nuttella' keeps making these style of decisions he can turn the 'ship of fools around' for sure!

NSA

Hey, NSA et al, no need to be concerned about another nineeleven, the axis of true evil's, (bcr+I) new millennium, "boogie man" plan succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.

Laptop computers are crap

Notebooks ARE still crap

I'll add another point; (9?) since i live a beautiful but somewhat dusty part of the world this itty bitty, fiddle farty notebook case needs to be dismantled and cleaned (by a man with smaller fingers and much more patience than i) twice a year to stop it overheating, and as for the footprint, my old cheap and nasty case is still UNDER not ON the desk.. Apart from the two additional screens i also use an external 5 button mouse and keyboard.

Is Facebook worth more than Google?

Facepalm

What about those numbers?

In addition to the point you made about usage, must be added a factor for multiple aliases. Here's a wild guess, 4 per real user? As for the site visits, give me a break - i use an aggregation service that drops ALL my Social Media accounts into my email box twice daily - makes it easy to ignore the "chaff", consequently does FB have chance to pitch anything to me ? NO WAY. Add to that Mr Z's famous (they trust me, the dumb f...s) put-down of his customers and the value being talked up here is fanciful nonsense...
