We're not killing Chrome OS ... not until 2020, anyway – says Google

Anti Google marketing

Seems to me the news was mainly created to stifle the rise of Chrome OS. There is no mention of Jim Hood and the MPAA but the WSJ was the first in with it, them for some reason being an intended conduit in the Hood/MPAA New Corp thing. (sad that it makes us even more cynical about so called news)

And in a way users are happy without updates, especially as they invariably introduce new exploits.

Stodgy and relatively safe is Chrome OS.

Web giants, Sir Tim slam Europe's net neutrality rules on eve of vote

Simple capitalism at work

Obviously here, by creating partnerships the networks get control of the likes of Netflix etc.

You could even see deals between the likes of Microsoft and networks.

Native code being far more dangerous, we need those fart apps limited to safer Java only!

'We jokingly call Apple the Tesla graveyard. Cook gets our sloppy rejects. LOL'

Not a graveyard....

A health and safety issue has made a pallet of these hefty things a 2 man job.

Apple fanbois cry (bless) as site motionless during iPhone 6S pre-order wrest

Waiting time is predictable

It matters not that Apple have sold x million to resellers etc, the actual percentage going out from these sales is by design. If no one is buying fewer will get theirs on release day, simple as that?

Zimperium unleashes Android Stagefright exploit code on world

Sponsored by whom?

They sell leaks to the highest bidder, if selling this, now even thicko crims can patch it in to stuff they have already bought!

Witness Apple's iPhone-iPad extravapalooza here in our no-hate zone

Re: I take it El Reg isn't there in person then?

Wikipedia’s biggest scandal: Industrial-scale blackmail

Are most Wiki editors employed to spin a vision?

Having had a run in with one prolific editor, I garnered that I had to stay open minded about Wiki truths.

The trick seems to be to get dodgy info published elsewhere thus ensuring half truths become become Wiki facts!

Saying that, Wikis are still better sources of fact than most but I do confirm what others say.

Windows 10 blamed (partly) for stalled PC sales recovery

Is that right?

The question now is, will 10 PCs and their abandonment of consumer OS rights appeal to the average punter?

I'm guessing so, there being so little inthe way of main media outcry to school us.
