Too many people think that they could just run Windows without any sort of protection on public computers, and everything will be just fine...

>>But the idea of a compulsory delay of a few hours on a number of these sites would be pretty good... Maybe you should've used those goggles before submitting this blog post. When I shop online I don't want or need a compulsory delay losing me productivity in the process.

In another interesting development showing that open source truly has a place in corporate computing, Microsoft announced on Sunday that it will be adding the JQuery JavaScript library to ASP.NET. The move came after many ASP.NET developers requested similar features to those that JQuery provides. According to Scott Guthrie of …

People who look at porn on commercial airplanes should be subjected to a psychological evaluation.

Yes, the commercial was dull and boring, but it was still a commercial. How weird is our world? People make big deals out of commercials and new Zune colors.

The ad is extremely boring. Not sure if any mention of Vista was made because I tuned out. They fail.

I agree Guy. I don't know why people feel that they can force apple or Facebook to carry material that they deem offensive. The services belong to them and they have the right to chose what is, and is not acceptable for them (within the confines of the law). After …

Google stores searches too. I've been trying to convince people about how bad this is. Maybe now that Microsoft has started doing it a wave of anti-MS geeks will help me.

You're a little mean... Spot on though. I don't think people really care about his stuff enough to actually want anything more than what's available.

Maybe. But 11mil downloads. Doesn't mean 11mil unique users. I work with IE, Firefox and Opera on a daily basis. They all do what I want them to do—some times. And they all have the un-nerving ability to bring me *this* close to tears every so often. I don't see …

Your title is a bit of a strawman. You haven't justified your idea that Windows 7 wants to do away with the keyboard. Besides, you'd still need special hardware to use those features.

Sigh. Much to learn young grasshopper. Don't you think more downloads, with fair odds of each download being a unique user, still increases the chance of more widespread use of the browser? Yes, Firefox (while not the pinnacle of awesomeness that so many tout it to be) is good enough …

Adding touch-screen capabilities to the mainstream OS *does* seem rather pointless at this time to me. But still, it's no reason to complain; just an extra feature. I'm sure if this had been "touch screen coming to mainstream Mac OS" the world would've been touting Apple's innovation and creativity. The …

Quick fact - Microsoft actually partnered with Novell to push Moonlight out to the niche Linux market. "Who in their right mind would install Silverlight over Flash as their runtime for browser-based RIAs?" you make it sound as though the two can't co-exist peacefully. As though you can't install both …

For once I agree with techwriter. Why should a radio station pay somebody for promoting a song for them? THEY should pay the radio stations; that's the only way they can justify the constant complaints about not getting enough air-play.

Yeah! Multicore processors have been out for years now and hardly any developers bother to really take advantage of them (myself included)

Jbennet needs to make up his mind about what he thinks about Vista and stop having different 3p opinions every three days. Vista is far from crap. It might not be the speed demon you seem to want, and it does have problems (depending on who you are), but it …

Maulth, use your noggin. Why would the EU want to protect criminals from the search engines? It's about much more than that. Although Jwenting's response *[B]sounds[/B]* doomsday-ish, they really do keep data that can easily identify our habits, interests, moral beings. Should we just trust them with this kind of …

I try to make myself not to care when the next Windows comes around. Sometimes I slap myself and have the revelation that it's really *not* a big deal... On my better days I code in python and say random things.

Vista protection without the annoyance? Are you mad? I turned off that stupid thing and UAC in week one. Glad you finally figured you had Google and didn't spend an awful lot of time sulking and feeling stupid like me!

It was 67Mb for me. The slow down you are experiencing is the complete wipe of your superfetch records. Also, note that if you had turned off superfetch before, it's turned back on now. Also, would you people *please* stop whining about Vista's alleged "memory leak"? That's like whining about …

I highly doubt she's actually blaming Google or Wikipedia. What I'm getting here is that she's trying to teach the students that they need to be able to think critically first before turning to those tools. I don't think she's wrong. Jwenting, I don't agree with taking away the spell …

I don't understand what's so wrong about bundling WMP11 and IE with Windows. Maybe I'm missing something here. Are they by doing this, blocking other software of the same type from being able to run on Windows? If a user needs to run those other software, won't he just download …

As a programmer who until [B]very[/B] quite recently chose C#.NET as his main language, WPF was thrust upon me like an anvil in your favorite 90s cartoon. There was no avoiding it... And for that, I'm glad -- mostly. The Windows Presentation Foundation is a UI subsystem of the Microsoft …
