It is mentally arduous to try to parse through it. I really tried but had to give up. Punctuation exists for good reason.
Pedantry -- that isn't Moore's Law related, aside from the loosest interpretation that computers as a whole get faster. This is so true, though. Much of the horizontally scalability need comes from the land of extremely…
That would create lots of restrictions Microsoft wasn't comfortable with The most likely scenario was that Microsoft would have been broken up, which while it was unwanted by Gates would have likely led to a much more…
Probably, given that Microsoft has never made money on Windows Mobile -- minuscule licensing costs coupled with a high engineering price. In their brightest expectations I don't think they see themselves making money…
Do you perhaps see the Apple glass as half full, and the MPAA glass as half empty? As the GP argued, one could just as easily argue that every MPAA policy is for your own good. Further I think it's incredibly unfair to…
Indeed, but the piece is primarily anti-MPAA. See- "The MPAA studios hate us. They hate us with region locks and unskippable screens and encryption and criminalization of fair use. They see us as stupid eyeballs with…

The Citi claim is based upon absolutely nothing. For that matter every single "Microsoft makes $X from Android" are based upon nothing but speculation. Show me a line item in either HTC or Microsoft's quarterlies…
A decent watering schedule is not an overwatering schedule. Watering plants properly is not a difficult activity. Further even assuming that it is very low power, just the energy and materials used to construct it blow…
HN has been soundly trolled. This guy -- who apparently rejects 99% of interviewees -- apparently runs a single-person company of dubious purpose. This absurdly trollish post is over the top because that's what ensured…
That sounds pretty cut and dry. Of course in reality it is absolutely nothing like that. I've experienced plenty of lag on iOS devices. I've had buttons not respond, apps crash, and behaviours that left you wondering…
>those for whom the little details like UI responsiveness are supremely important That isn't what he said. The general angle of MG and Gruber is that iOS is universally superior to Android. I remember trying out the…
