If you waked around a bar constantly filming strangers with your camera phone you would be kicked out at the very least, and you could be very certain you would be asked to stop. You KNOW when a phone is taking pictures, this thing is going to be a ticking bomb for privacy. The last thing I want in a gay bar is a stranger taking pictures. Bouncers are going to have a lot of fun with this.......

Mark Shuttleworth: Canonical leads Ubuntu, not 'your whims'

So, if I don't like what Ubuntu has become, don't use it. Ok, I won't. But as far as I'm concerned he ruined a resource I loved and used and I don't have to like the fact.
I used to LOVE Ubuntu. I'd dual boot it on my Macs, laptop and desktop. Till Gnome 3 and Unity made it a mess so rife with restrictions and micromanagement it made my iPad seem flexible. It made dual booting pointless, a way to do less more slowly.
I don't want my desktop to be a smartphone. Not a Microsoft one OR a Linux one.

North Korean citizens told: Socialist haircuts are a thing... go get some

1965 called, they want their haircuts back!
Seriously though, the fact that this exists shows that outside influences and fashions are creeping in. Or this wouldn't be required at all. The defection rate goes up every year despite China tossing back every one they catch, and the rate of smuggled in material goes up every year as well. This is actually a GOOD sign.
You can only keep a whole country in the dark for so long.
Dell takes aim at iPad, uncloaks enterprise-level Win8 tablet

Yipee, more giant, heavy, hot Wwindows 8 tablets.
I think what they are missing is the biggest reason Android and iOS tablets both sell. They are NOT Windows.
People are getting spoiled by things that work well. Android and iOS are BOTH good systems that give their users a lot of trouble free fun and enjoyable work. Even people who LIKE windows don't expect it to be fun.
Hardcore Windows people are somewhat Calvinist in their worldview. To them, If its easy to use it must be stupid, and of its actually enjoyable its at least lazy if not actually sinful.
Someone here said it best. If your tablet has a fan, you are doing it wrong.

Repairability is a primary concern of course. When its Apple.
Cue the Microsoft apologist brigade.
Now that Microsoft is making a device that makes the iPad Mini look like an easy fix,"at least you don't wreck the cables taking the screen off an iPad" reparability concerns are old fashioned and unimportant.
Well, Microsoft finally moves into the 21st century and beats Apple at something, glue, solder and disposablity. Congrats Microsoft, you made the grade .
Men's rights activists: Symantec branded us a 'hate group'

Re: ...men are SOOOO oppressed
Yet you never replied to the case I mentioned with the abusive man who can't even be stopped from torturing his own DAUGHTER. I've had to watch THAT go through family courts. Apparently that is less valid.
The mother has NO rights to even defend her CHILD because the fathers rights are considered sacrosanct.
You ignored me and called me a bigot for disagreeing with you. SO much for "shaming tactics"
I've never seen a worse festival of crybabay men. But that's what you do with "uppity women" shut them up and shut them down. Some tings never change.

Re: ...men are SOOOO oppressed
No, just a woman who refuses to "know her place" and that kind of thing angers the man children here no end.
Men can have "equal access" when they have equal investment, when they can carry one for nine months. When it takes men nine months to have a child not ten minutes, when it ravages THEIR bodies, maybe things can get more equal. Maybe then more of them might take some actual responsibility.
I hear these MEN all the time, the ones who don't think its rape if you are married to the woman. The ones who miss the "good old days" of slapping her around, the ones who feel that marriage equals free housecleaning, cooking and on demand blowjobs, and feel terribly cheated when they find getting married does not equal automatic sex, and want to claim a kid they never actually take care of as a form of emotional poker chip to get back at a wife they can't own.
I've seen far too many custody battles where the only reason the man wants custody is to "stick it to that bitch and make her hurt". Once they get it they could care less. (I knew one who got it, then put the kids in a foster home) This is not ALL of them by any stretch, but its far, far too many of them.
My brother gives me hope, he would die for his son, and his wife is an evil psycho, but I digress.
Right now in the US we have "men's rights" activists who want to make abortion illegal without the FATHER'S permission. These people show what they really want is to own women, and what they consider them to be is a form of baby incubator, and property. I'd like to see what would happen if they had to get permission from their wives to get a vasectomy. Oh would they howl.
One of my best friend's soon to be ex-husband's is a drunk, and is mentally ill, he has repeatedly abused the children, he punishes his daughter by sitting on her head till she stops crying. Last time she had fabric burns on her face, and she wound up in the hospital. She can't get his accesses denied since "He is the father".
He is drunk, and threatens the family with firearms, she can't get access denied, he is the father, "and a serviceman too, if I was drunk with a weapon I'd be in jail but nothing is too good for our heroes!" He has beaten the crap out of her but she still can't keep him out of the house, after all, he is the father.
Misandry is such a nice term isn't it? And yes it does exist, but more often than not its used by white male crybabies who piss and whine that they find out women are NOT property, and a marriage license isn't a title of ownership.
Misandry (pron.: /mɪˈsændri/) is the hatred or dislike of men or boys.
What the word is being tortured into meaning is (any woman who won't know her place and gets high flying ideas she is her own person)
If you think we have equality of the sexes, you are probably a man, and if you think society considers women to have SUPERIOR rights in anything I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry.
Thumb me down all you like, I honestly don't care anymore.

You seem to lack reading comprehension. The point is, I'm not going to stop wearing my real watches "Most of which have been keeping time for 30-50 years" to wear an electronic toy that will be obsolete in 18 months.
I love it. Pro Apple comments, thumbs down, anti-Apple comments, thumbs down. You just can't win.
