Of course, spending a lot of time in Chrome isn’t enough to justify buying a Chromebook — I could easily have continued running the browser in Windows or Ubuntu. But as the idea of switching to Chrome OS matured in my mind, I became increasingly impatient with the extraneous features and restrictions full-blown operating systems forced on me. Even Windows 8 Consumer Preview, which I ran on my work laptop, took a good 20 seconds to boot, then required four or five clicks to get to the browser. 404 Operating System Not Found.

For the past year Mozilla has been working on an experimental login system that completely eliminates passwords on websites while being safe, secure, and easy to use. Persona is ready to use for authentication: it works in all major smartphone, tablet, and desktop browsers, the user experience has been thoroughly reviewed and polished, we’re committed to the core APIs, and its infrastructure is highly available and stable. BrowserID is all grown up.

Below please find a comment from a 25 year old Master Debator, which is just a fancy title for someone who likes to argue for the sake of arguing, or in other words, an ass.
Funny how it is Master Debator instead of Master Debater, I guess the first rhymes better with his probably real title.

Perhaps it would have been better to browse the site a bit before just posting your question in a random forum.

Microsoft's failure to adhere to the European Commission's "browser ballot" requirement could result in formal charges, according to a new report. As noted by Reuters, EU Competition Commissioner Joaquin Almunia told reporters in Warsaw that the organization is "working on" opening a formal proceeding against Microsoft for its browser missteps. Almunia said he does not expect the investigation to last too long since Microsoft has already acknowledged its mistakes, Reuters said. I suppose "nobody noticed" won't be much of a defense.

A big stir about very little. Will cost the EU courts and Microsoft money and time that probably could be spent worrying about something important.

The point is they've not stuck to their EU mandate. Whether the EU was right to do mandate what they did in the first place is a separate issue. I think they were wrong.

Agree, just pointed out that there is a certain amount of pettiness in the whole process

Microsoft could have had most of the 107,000 Windows Phone 7.5 apps running on Windows 8 on day one. It would have been a fairly (read VERY) easy thing for them to do. It seems like arrogance on the part of Microsoft Windows Division President Steven Sinofsky is all that kept this from happening. And it could prove to be a fatal mistake on his part. But that isn’t what this posting is about. Despite Microsoft’s possible missteps, developers would be quite foolish to ignore Windows 8/RT’s new “Windows Store” applications. What are you waiting for, the first Service Pack?

With Windows 8 being RTM’ed and a slew of new devices to be launched on October 26 (just a few weeks away) I can’t help but wonder where the new keyboards are. Sure, Microsoft has announced some new keyboards and mice, but they’re not gesture enables and have no charm keys on them. The keyboard is just a fairly standard keyboard with the new Windows logo on it. Boring! So, what do you want on your keyboard?

The keys R,T,F,M and the Enter key.

Quote: The Logitech G15 is a keyboard produced by Logitech designed specifically for gamers
only n00bs remove their eyes away from the screen
and turn with keyboard
and backpedal
and click with mouse to activate toolbar items :P

It means I do not have to login to see the current status
..and yes, only noobs use a mouse. We disconnected them in class, forcing people to memorize the shortcuts on their keyboard. Not only did they gain in terms of productivity (it's simply faster than using a mouse), it also looked more professional.
