I do not care is zero caring, I could care less, would mean to say I have caring and the possibility of me to care less is there, but what I think you mean to say is I couldn't care less, which could mean zero caring but it is also a phrase with a reference to how I currently care about something, but when I say I don't care - the amount I care is clear.

I don't need to be told what I want to say; I know that with high precision.
My comment simply indicates that illiterate Americans obviously do not know what they are saying.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

If you know what you are talking about with high precision, and you were referring to myself - then indeed you do not know what you are talking about as I am not American.

Ah, so it's all about you, is it?
I tellya, the egos in this place...

Buddy first off, when someone starts a sentence with I it is indeed about themselves, and secondly this thread is something I started, so when I say I don't care, it isn't an ego trip.
What you are doing is being a self righteous ass.

What you are being is an idiot who refuses to see a joke when it smacks him squarely in the face.
Your initial comment ("I don't care if you purchase it", in case you've forgotten your ingenious reply) was so pointlessly rude that I didn't bother to reply to it, but instead made fun of the misuse of the word "could" in the incorrect statement of "I could care less", which is used only and exclusively by the set of Americans who are illiterate (do the venn diagram, if you wish to confirm this -- the illiterati in other English-speaking countries say "couldn't").
That joke was of far more value to the forum than your ill-mannered comment ("I don't care if you purchase it", in case you've forgotten it again), because it at least contained good humour, rather than snide arrogance.
If, as it seems to be the case, you wish to have an ill-natured argument with someone, take it elsewhere -- CP doesn't need that kind of behaviour, and I'll just take the piss, so you'll just get all indignant and bad-tempered to no purpose.

Meh. Right now and for the forseeable future, desktop is the sole reason for the PC to exist.

7 pcs in my office, all with 50 inch screens, and Microsoft Kinect, with touchless gesture software I can stand 6 feet from the screen and use it like a touch screen.
The desktop will die and the PC will rein on.

I already see our office ladies with Hulk-like shoulders.
What do you do with those 7 kinects? I rarely see someone producing with an touchy-swishy interface.
Hypothesis: the amount of desktop use has not become significantly less in absolute terms. It's just faded relative to the skyrocketing general media consumption.

The Microsoft touchless gesture software is perfect for kinect.
The only thing it cant do well is fast typing.

France versus Nigeria - quite cool.

There's nothing obvious on the UK page. Perhaps they only display them to people whose teams are still taking part?

I cannot quite understand why, but if you go to the Doodle page on Google, "this Google's reach" world map clearly omits Great Britain.
Ireland is not omitted and www.google.ie shows the Doodle!

They're not really interested in football anymore.
I find it much more interesting that the doodle about Germany vs Algeria isn't shown in Germany.

Couldn't Nigeria just buy the match, you know, with all that extra cash they have lying around over there...

Not anymore. You all thought it was a scam but I could tell it wasn't so now I have all that money. Suckers!!! 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Didn't those two play yesterday (the 29th)? Today looks like Germany vs. Algeria.
