Climate scientists agree: Humans cause global warming

Re: Regardless

I completely agree.

Wait, no I don't. Some beers, especially ales, lose much of their flavour at lower temperatures. And if you were to design a quantitative analysis amongst beer experts I'm sure there would be a consensus.

BlackBerry: Aaah, Microsoft, we meet again.. for another deathmatch

They really did drop the ball

While I'm sure many people will disagree, I think Microsoft were in a position of great potential towards the end of Windows Mobile's life - unfortunately all WM phones were just far too underpowered for its functionality until the HD2, by which time they had given up and were well into the development of WP7.

I know, I know, winmo was terrible etc, except having used a HD2 it seemed to me that most of the OS's performance and reliability issues were either fixed by this point or could be attributed to previously underpowered hardware since it ran smoothly and without problems, even with multitasking. Sure it still had a crap interface, but it was a hell of a lot more advanced than Android at that point in time, and I think if MS had worked on redeveloping the stock interface whilst massively reducing the cost to manufacturers they could easily be in Android's shoes right now.
