Unfortunately (for Sony) this leak gets the word out about a bunch of crappy movies. I've only downloaded a handful of movies in the last 10 years, but every time I have I was glad I did because it saved me from wasting money on a turd.

There a couple of reasons. One of the biggest is that the Internet is full of morons who were bashing Vista and had absolutely no idea what the hell they were talking about. For example http://tech.slashdot.org/story/09/02/16/2259257/draconian-drm-revealed-in-windows-7 That story is...

That's a big part of the problem. If XP support had ended before Windows 8 came out I think you would see a lot more people who moved to Win 7. But now, if you go into any store, it's nothing but Windows 8. You can still buy a copy of WIndows 7 or a computer with Win 7 installed, but you...

Yes, Windows 7 is better. But, look at it from the view of a person who just wants to do a few basic things with their computer. Upgrading to Windows 7 means spending $100 or more on something that you don't really want, and don't think you should need. I'm not trying to defend people...

I tried Windows 8 and it is completely unusable. Every time I wanted to do something I had to use Google to search for "how do I . . . . . . ", including something as simple as shut down the computer. WTF? Who thought up all this crap. When this Update leaked onto the Interwebs a few weeks...

That's the funny part. There's a blog post on the whataapp website from 2012, here's part of it: I think these guys are in for a big surprise when Facebook takes over. Of course, they might not care. Getting bought by Facebook just made then rich.

Yes, that is true, right now. But what about the future? Mozilla's contract with Google, which currently pays them $300 Million a year, expires later this year. What happens if there's no new contract to provide Mozilla with truckloads of free money? All of a sudden there's a new version...

You're missing an important part of the story. From the article: "They offered me a contract position" and "The third party company that contracted me" He was not an Apple employee, he was a contractor. Every company has their share of bosses who are jerks, however it is much worse...

Yes beats headphones are crap. Overpriced crap. But that's irrelevant. You pay for Cable TV. And Internet. And just about everything else. Seriously, what do you get for free? Not much. So what's the big deal?

Although I don't use IE, this makes no sense. If IE9 currently works with Google's various apps then the only way for it to no longer work is for Google to deliberately break something -- they will have to deliberately change their stuff so that IE 9 no longer works. WTF?

He only studied biochemical engineering for one year before dropping out. He took some of the millions he made from movies and TV and invested in some tech companies. None of that means he actually knows anything. This is just another dumb publicity stunt.

I hate to see people lose their jobs, but . . . . Based on those numbers, Zynga had more than 2500 employees before the layoff. And offices all over the country. WTF???

Free is still too high a price for Windows 8. If Microsoft pays me $100 I might think about about installing it. No guarantee, but I would think about it.

40 years too late

That's my wife's parents. The have broadband Internet with their cable company but are still paying for an AOL account. I tried to explain it to them but they didn't seemed interested.
