Ballmer bets 'all in' on Phone 8 and Windows

We are ready to pay, they aren't selling

If those idiot suits sold annual BBC to global audience who are waiting on line or paying to VPN services just to get iplayer, you would pay far less.

Everyone knows click

Well I bet you are British and hate that BBC license thing but really, BBC click is a very known and respected program worldwide.

I know it isn't very "deep" stuff but a lot will listen to them.

Re: Someone get the jumbo popcorn !

It is fun until you figure Apple and google will be far more evil and spoiled as they notice they don't have a credible rival that users may switch to.

Guy actually had to say Skype can be left running... If you used symbian, you could see how pathetic it is.

Yea, it can run all time...

Hurricane Sandy starts to hit IT providers

Weird

I always thought server farms were weather proof and one of safest places to be in natural disasters.

If they evacuate, what is the point of getting dedicated hosting instead of PC+ Debian+ UPS+ Fiber combination?

And all makes fun about people living in rural areas stocking food, setting up shelter etc.

Windows 8 unleashed! Midnight launch for world+dog

It will be remembered as...

I guess the register didn't have the balls to call it. Windows millennium aka ME.

They tried to mix win2k with win98 and very crazy things happened. This time they even go crazier.

And no, it won't "kill" them.

How Bodyform's farting 'CEO' became a viral sensation

Re: But why the Windex...?

She is an evil ceo drinking blood. You know, blood is blue in their parallel universe.

Re: Here's the bit I don't get

It is a very old rule which works. Throw detergent, sanitary and baby products ads into movies with blood because people will feel dirty or will have urge to clean.

It is a business which goebbels is considered a genius. Evil but genius.

Rocket speed

For a company who isn't in this "social web" business, the speed of such a daring response is amazing.

Just years ago, a person with very creative and neat ideas for a detergent giant was escorted out of presentation to make sure he never, ever come back with new ideas.

These guys (sanitary, detergent, toothpaste) are amazingly big and conservative.

Gates: Microsoft will merge Phone and Windows platforms

Re: Don't ignore Amazon

I used their Kindle thing and trust me, their OS division got everything wrong.

It is like Nokia, didn't change their way of thinking but switched to Android.

Have you seen American operator supplied symbian? That is exactly what Amazon did with Android.

Ubuntu? Thanks to them, I am now really sure that I will never install that piece of junk. Ads, aren't just ads. Wonder why privacy savvy non pirate Android users keep buying "pro" versions of free apps?

Re: Funny, nobody mentioned it yet

Unix indeed. OS X is one of weirdest complex mixtures to date. I bet ballmer would personally fire you if you dared to suggest mixing 4 separate major operating systems (freebsd, bsdlite, next layer, carbon) adding a hybrid micro kernel while on it.

Funny, nobody mentioned it yet

Linux& Unix did it from the start. Unless you are completely fooled by the virtual machine on top of it or no virtual machine at all (NDK) , Android _is_ Linux. In fact, it could be given as example of what Linux really is.

Windows 8 wait prompts PC sales droop in EMEA

Gamble to buy a new PC/laptop

What if the unlikely thing happens and win8 takes off?

People and developers love touch interface and resolution independent stuff?

Stuff on market has no touch functionality and absurdly low DPI.

I wouldn't buy anything new until win8 sp1 ships and/or ballmer& gang rightfully fired.

Vendors to be blamed

How hard and expensive is it to put a simple touch layer to screen as everyone knows win8 will be touch optimized?

How hard to get rid of 1366x768 not so funny joke resolution?

Ms did a great job with resolution independent UI starting with vista. They also provided touch central API and drivers for years.

Keep sticking stupid stickers, going with Intel gma junk and bundling crap. I won't blame Ms. Nobody should.

IBM prepares to demo 125TB MONSTER tape

Re: It would be nice to see prosumer level tape..

There is a market for real, reliable hassle free daily backups but it seems the false sense of usb hard disk security killed it. So nobody dares to R&D a small company thing.

Also, you know they even offload the entire company to google, dropbox etc. I was shocked when I saw a multi million surprise advertising campaign final cut was stored in a dropbox account, shared between 5 users and secured (!) via "PaSWord".

No kidding. Just 5 years ago, these idiots were using an actual bank safe for single copy cassette.

Re: Tape not dead yet ?

The problem with tape, dvd, bluray and even half protype red laser systems is, companies and users miss steps 2 and 3.

1) backup/verify

And...

2) catalogue it (even pen would work)

3) physically move it to another location and secure it.

Step 3 is why WORM is here to stay.

Don't joke, wait for usb drive guys

I see you are a bit sarcastic but seriously a lot of good quality enterprise articles are on the register being wasted by comments which are seriously ignorant.

Problem is, they are all or will soon be in IT sector.

I have even seen an idiot comparing a Z10 enterprise to his desktop gaming machine.

It is like (no, not truck) comparing a 4K A list Hollywood production to your handheld "full HD" camera.

For beginners, these tapes will be stored in underground silos with 5 level biometric security and even armed guards. Such data will never be joked with. We are speaking about trillions of dollars and even human life in some cases. IBM, mainframes are responsible for 80% of data in world, hiding that fact is a PR genius.

Microsoft Surface: Designed to win, priced to fail

Being alerted about RAM

If this thing have 2G RAM, it means their OS and/or popular developers are leaking like crazy.

2G RAM is a nice thing of course but really alerting on initial model which doesn't multi task.

Kaspersky Lab to create new OS 'to save the world'

Re: Hmmm

Even in cold war, they had a fierce competition about which communism (!) is the best.

Of course,being brainwashed for decades...

Re: Hmmm

Wow a real old fashioned cold war thing.

At least you could educate yourself to learn that China and Russia were never allies and will never be.

Google readying on-device malware scanner for Android

Re: ABOUT TIME!!!

No competition, pre installed, I am sticking to free market Kaspersky.

I bet it will be 4.2 only anyway.

Free games for all after EA discount code goes viral

Yea, Karma. But...

These guys can't even expire a used hex ticket, one wonders how safe is the real deal. Personal details, cc...

They just sent a "heads up,we are stupid" signal to black hat scene. Are they aware of that basic fact?

So they abused origin title too?

I am not a gamer so I had to lookup to make sure I don't confuse things.

Are you telling me electronic arts which was founded because of lack of respect in industry at that time use the legendary "Origin" title for some sort of badly developed drm spyware?

The "origin" I know is this:

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_Systems

If they guy go out of business soon or later, it will be because of this, disrespect to the core foundation principles of their company.

Unisys pumps up ClearPath mainframes with Xeon E5s

The language

OS itself is written in high level language. Industry loved the idea but thought it is impossible to do it.

Knuth as student, during his summer break, made it.

All they need is a decent compiler for target cpu.

The genius is OS itself

First release 1961, contains (kinda made possible by) Knuth's code as student.

When you have time, read

http://www.answers.com/topic/mcp-burroughs-large-systems?curtab=2750_1

Nothing gets more interesting and unique than that. Being able to run on xeon isn't possible without the initial design of it back in 1961.

Sony Vaio T13 Ultrabook review

Oversized netbook

IMHO anything with Intel graphics integrated should be called an oversized/fast cpu netbook since they can't run decent games.

Re: Another one bites the dust.

Also don't hate me for saying but one really deserves basic touch functionality (not multi etc) if win8 is months away.

I am not very interested in touch on laptop but vendors are really playing a very cheap game and it will be costly to them.

Test a game demo?

If this thing is called "ultra" book and bought instead of a tablet, it should run a current 3d game fine.

Not? Why? Integrated Intel junk graphics?

HTC outs Jelly Bean running One X revamp

Re: What about .....

Couple of brain dead, old school suits at Taiwan think you will upgrade to "one" if they abandon your device and if they release update, you won't.

As, you can't say "ooh, really?" and upgrade to another brand.

Idiots, what else?

Microsoft's Bing bods exploit fanbois' Apple maps misery

Not surprising he missed, there is no shortcut to maps in m.Bing.com, new "you are an idiot" attitude from Microsoft I think. Links would confuse us!

Intel CEO thinks Windows 8 isn't ready, insider claims

Re: The Score

It worked fine on my PC too (hides under table), that thing is the weirdest thing Ms ever developed. A 98 with 2k parts.

Can't forget my shock when got infected by hybris, a state of evil art virus, cleaned it to see system bragging to restore file to original (infected) form.

Thank God for f-prot dos freeware.

Symantec source code leak becomes torrent

Comparison

The entire current Linux is 76.2 MB. That is the kernel with massive amount of comments etc. Their application is 52.

(I picked latest rc)

Google Go language gets used: For file-scrambling trojan, though

I know why

Unlike symantec junk bundleware. Kaspersky etc looks for coding patterns and even runs virtual machine if not sure.

An exotic language will generate different unique patterns and it gives black hats some headstart.

W3C reveals plan to finish HTML5 and HTML 5.1

App developers spy and blame html

On Android, stock browser or better alternatives like opera, Firefox can do 99% of stuff those "apps of sites" (absurd) can do via html5.

Why do they ship apps? Check permissions circus of their app things, you will understand. A browser will ask if a page requests your location, you will say "yea, right" and leave if they ask your phone number. Why bother? Put blame on w3c and keep spying.

Apple scrambled to hire iOS 6 maps engineers DAYS before launch

Re: And so, it started...

It is the always forgiving cult like community who was holding them back and now it started slipping.

Forget the humanity, check open source

One may be against donating money to poor, or may hide it perfectly so nobody knows.

Check the stuff they use starting with latest, open street maps. Gnu stuff, Apache stuff, independent developers, bsd. Did they donate a freaking CENT to them?

I use open cycle maps personally and will buy offline maps just to donate and I hope one day we can easily contribute from our devices.

What about google?

We all knew for months that they will get rid of their maps. IT media predicted since first patent case.

They sat on their asses for all this time? Where is google maps?

Same goes for Microsoft& Nokia.

HTC hawks fresh WinPho smartphones

Htc one x+ is on the way, not a rumor since they (htc?) already did public benchmark, you can see its crazy score at antutu benchmark app right now.

Microsoft, RIM ink new licensing agreement

Re: They have brain

I don't need root right now but if I did, moving to ext4 on sd would be my first action. Sd holds impossible to reproduce generated media.

Watching my lost.dir and reading headers of files...

Re: Its about time...

There is a mechanism in both win and OSX. Believe or not, it is not a hack. If you have OSX box, when you install virtual PC (ppc only), you will notice file in /Library/Filesystems if I remember right.

They have brain

Ext4 is the standard in technical users devices (rooted) for a long time now.

$300K, idiots

For $300K you can get a perfect ext4 win support driver even sparing $20.000 to donate to free software foundation for publicity.

That would mean 80% less "disaster" support calls from customers who would never buy from you again since they blame your brand when that archaic junk "loses" their family photos.

Those who uses fat in 2012 should be investigated for possible under the table deals with Ms.

PS: I am pissed since I have to use fat on my 32gb sd right now.

Google offers tool to bridge Android and iOS app dev

Re: That's one way of doing it.

I got over 170 apps installed on Android and the only weird working app is coded with that Mono junk.

HP boss Whitman: 'We have to offer a smartphone'

Just for one time in your life, be pragmatic and realist

iPhone 5: skinny li'l fella with better display, camera, software

Going backwards

That is the state of "IT media" today. Recently saw an Android app review where author says he doesn't know what Usenet is. Idiot could at least check wiki.

Fans (!)

They have fans. The "thumbs down" clowns with too much time in hand. I would reject iphone just not to get associated with such a sick "community".
