Not exactly.

Except that on Windows, Flash for Internet Explorer is delivered as an ActiveX plugin.
Just sayin'.
True. Note that Apple are intending to sell a USB stick installer for Lion, though, and that they have said that users with a slow net connection are welcome to take their machine to an Apple store...
Ubuntu for Programmers would be like a toolbox for people who want to use screwdrivers.
Make of that what you will.
Oh my GOD! It's as if a shopping bag icon was somehow synonymous with a "store"!
A heresy! Blatant theft from Microsoft! Bring out the DMCA claims! Send in the cease-and-desist letters! Wheel out...
Yes, with an appropriate compatibility layer.
Yes, with an appropriate comaptibility layer.
No.
If it did, it'd be one hell of a FFe.
Um... yeah. About that...
Although the thought of MS writing a Linux client to sync with WP7 is outlandish, of course. To my knowledge, Nokia have never written any despite their support for Qt:...
No, because the App Store is not the only way of getting programs on to a Mac.
Yes, because it's not like they've thought to liaise with software developers, impose restrictions on what APIs can be used in apps distributed via Apple's repositories to ensure software...
Try telling that to the theory of gravity.
Theory means "well-substantiated explanation with evidence to back it up." Something postulated to fill a stop-gap, which has yet to be tested for...
In before someone else (because somebody had to):
"2011 will be the year of the Linux desktop!" :P
root is already disabled by default on OS X, and sudo is most certainly in use. (Privilege elevation is required when unlocking the Users preferences panel, for example.)
The bottom line is: keep...
Not true.
CFL bulbs work fine, provided:
your electricity supply is good
they're installed properly
they are of good quality (plenty of reputable brands do them for a tiny outlay, and they...
Two (albeit late) thoughts.
People don't like change, no matter if it's for better or for worse. Many people are still furious about Ubuntu having moved the window controls to the left by...
It's been possible for the computer since inception: given the new streaming Apple TV, you actually need a computer (or an iPod/Phone/Pad) to host an HD movie for the STB to play it.
Rumours are...
Market share means nothing with regards to cost and quality. Let's not forget that Windows XP is still the world's most popular operating system. And Symbian was never exactly a bastion of quality.

It's the XServe, not Mac OS X's X server. OS X's X11.app is alive and well.
Apple's XServe line of servers, on the other hand, is for the chop: presumably because for the majority of their...
No.
It's like a video shop not selling hardcore pornography. In the iPhone's case, yes, the censorship argument has grounds as it's the only sanctioned way of getting apps onto the device.
In...
Windows Vista has a technically improved version of Windows XP's codebase, which in turn has a codebase derived from Windows 2000 which in turn came from Windows NT, which is similar to OS/2. Both of...
This is true.
Yes, of course Microsoft put out this video because they are scared. They stand to lose revenue if people switch to OpenOffice.
Crying baby aside, however, most of the points are...
So does a microwave. So does a vacuum cleaner. So does a car's dashboard.
Theoretically, yes, it can run Linux. In practice, however, you'd need extensive information about the hardware, spend...
It's a shame: there is a definite gap in the market for a touchscreen MP3-player-cum-internet-tablet, á la the iPod Touch, running Android.
The trouble is that the music player software bundled...
*puts statistician's hat on*
Complete nonsense. (The link, that is, not the idea that GNU/Linux desktop market share is >1%.)
First, where the hell are they getting their numbers from? I'd...
Apart from a WebKit-based browser, a full API that isn't based on Flash, a calendar, a clock, a contacts manager, an e-mail app, a notes app, PDF viewing, (more than one) ebook store, a compass, a...
