I don't think that the Dutch will have started any migration or upgrade-path; since we paid MS for support, there's no need to upgrade, is there?

Sooo... it took them nearly fifteen years to complete it? Will it get out of beta now?

Sources familiar with Microsoft's plans tell The Verge that the software giant has selected build 10240 as the final release to manufacturing (RTM) copy, allowing PC makers to start loading the software onto new machines ready for release. "And there was much rejoicing."

Commodore makes a comeback! Brand to launch Android smartphone that will let users play iconic games
Oooh, I want! Wonder if they'll resurrect the games I wrote in early 80's, "Spills and Fills", "Turtle Toyland Junior", and "TrashMan"

Data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) outside Geneva appears to have proved the existence of particles made of five quarks, solving a 50-year-old puzzle about the building blocks of matter, scientists said on Tuesday. Turns out, they were under the seat cushions

Whoa. That's crazy...

Is there only one for the lot of you? No wonder...
But, in that case, probably not your woman.
Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

Who keeps leaving their particles all over the place? Can't someone clean that up?

If it's so malleable, shouldn't it be called Odo instead of Quark?

While many developers are aware enough not to roll their own crypto, they either pick the wrong approach, screw up the implementation, or both. Assuming security is something of interest (and ditto .NET)

Serious Link Fail!
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Apple has a tiny market share of the smartphone industry — but it is making some truly massive profits. "I think it's wrong that only one company makes the game Monopoly"

It won't last forever. Smart phones aren't high tech and once Apple isn't "cool" anymore and cheap overseas competition forces prices down, profits will follow.
Who'd thought in 2002 that Internet Explorer would no longer be the dominant web browser; desktop and mobile?

Great... because we all know what cheap foreign crap and razor sharp profit margins leads to.

With respect, I'd buy a Japanese car every day of the week before I'd buy an American car on a single day of a single week.
They're cheaper, more reliable and offer a far superior experience in each aspect I've considered.
Further to that, it was the manufacturing techniques of the Japanese that were imported and taken on from the Japanese by Ford back some decades ago now. W. Edwards Deming is who you can thank for that.

"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life." - John Lennon

Really? My Accord was hardly cheap. In fact, across the product lines of Honda, Toyota, Mazda and Mitsubishi they all tend to fall into the middle or high end of their markets. Leaving the Koreans (Hyundai / Kia), Fiats and Mexican made Fords & Chevys at the low end.
More to the point I was actually talking about about CHEAP electronics from fly-by-night Chinese manufacturers. Did you read the article in the OP? Only Apple and Samsung make profit in the smartphone industry. All the others are actually losing money! What kind of corners are they now prepared to cut? What kind of support can you expect? What kind of R&D will they invest in to take the next step?
