Do you pay taxes after the whole income or just (income -expenses)?

Yeah the Internet is full of porn, but where do you find meta discussion about porn sites? You know business opportunities, history and stuff life that.

What are these new services? I seriously can't find anything that's even comparable.

At least in this case it's well known why the permissions are needed.

You could use Titanium Backup to back up SwiftKey, download the new dictionaries copy them somewhere safe, restore your files, than replace the dictionaries.

This would be great with a 2560x1600 display! That would explain the battery life too.

Obligatory questions: How much RAM does it have and what kind of CPU? (I know it says Intel Core but that doesn't mean much.)

Android is not a fork of Linux. It uses the Linux kernel. End of story.

Programming on Android is not easy. As you want ruby you can have a look at SL4A [1].

There are several terminal emulators and IDEs like Terminal IDE[2] that was mentioned in the article. From the descriptions it seems to have Vim or at least bindings for it.

There're also a few IDEs like DeuterIDE[3].

There's even a git client.[4]

Yes. Android support bluetooth keyboards.

If you already have a diverse taste in music the last.fm recommendations will be diverse too.

I would argue that having a bad UI is a big enough problem.

I last used GIMP in 2010 so a few of these might be available now. Anyway here's my list:

- No support for raw images.

- No 16 Bit and 32 Bit color mode.

- No adjustment layers.

- No support for Photoshop plugins.

- Lack of LAB and CMYK color modes.

- No 3D support.

- No video support.

- Integration with other Adobe tools (e.g: copy paths directly from Illustrator).

- Lack of usable transformation tools.

Also even though GIMP supports psd files, once you exceed a few hundred megabytes, it gets really slow compared to PS on the same machine.

The only thing that's better in GIMP is the lasso tool. I hate it in PS, but it's actually usable in GIMP.

If you factor out price (which you can and should if this is the tool that makes you money) GIMP doesn't even come close.

Yeah, I do. (Though it runs on OS X too.) What's wrong with that?

For many this list has just one item:

- Adobe Photoshop

If you rely on it for work, than you can't just switch to Linux. GIMP is closer to paint than to PS.

By that logic MS should also bundle multiple video and audio player, calculators, image editors, file explorers, email clients and who knows what else. And what's that if not bloatware?

WHat's wrong with Android installers? A single file with a single button to press.

It allows you to install some software.

Idealistic != Naive Learn the difference.

Also the posts also shows how little the writer understands what Sergey wrote. Read the G+ post.

Yeah. It's not like your congress ever voted on something that's bad for your country, right?

> Why do I need to pick someone who poorly represents my views and will probably vote against my interests

This. I'M not in the US, so copyright laws are less of an issue here, but even without that number of times I find myself thinking that this system sucks is over the threshold. I mean all politicians act like they voters agree with everything they do because you voted for them even if what they're doing is the exact opposite of what you thought they'd be doing.

Well, I live in Hungary (right next to you) and our pre-paid plans suck. Calling costs 2-3 times as much as on contracts, same with texting. A 3G plan with 3GB unlimited (that is they slow you down until the end of the billing cycle) costs 3500 HUF. For 4190 HUF you can get a 4G plan with unlimited browsing and 5GB for other purposes.

Because he can't say arguing with a christian. Are you one of them?

It's just you.

As a Windows and Android user I feel that it wasn't.

My thoughts exactly.

Better hardware? How is the surface's harware better? Not even if we put aside the shitty screen.

    >all the laptops in the MS store had a touchscreen. The Apple laptops did not.

Because Apple doesn't want it's users to get gorilla arms.

If the only thing MS can do is play catch up with Apple and even copy their store designs than they're truly losers.

Writing this from a Windows PC.

And the way Windows RT's walled garden works?

Wait, not closing <p> and <li> is valid?

What apps do you use on iOS that don't exist on Android?

Genuinely curious.)

I wouldn't. That doesn't mean someone else wouldn't.

Heck if you can get 1000 students to do it, then it's just 2.5 minutes. Now that's something that even I would do.

Unless you are a good lad and do as Google says it's prohibitively small.
