People love admitting that Microsoft is no longer the biggest player there is, but they hate admitting that the other players are just as bad as Microsoft apparently were in their long history. Selectively withholding services can easily fall under anti-competitive laws in the EU. Microsoft is...

velocityg4It needs to be made a constitutional amendment. With the wording added of, "No exceptions are to be made to limit these freedoms whatsoever. No matter what the premise of safety or security may be. The penalty for any government member whom takes part in enacting a law found later...

The one difference that the Judge is not considering is that someone cannot hack into my mouth and make me says things I don't want to, but someone can hack into my Twitter account and make "me" apparently shout things I don't want to. Wonder if it is possible to prove definitively who made a...

erdosi thought Nokia is dumping symbian OS for windows OS. now they're releasing another symbian-based killer phone? are they having second thoughts about Windows?This phone was mid-development before the "heavy partnership" with Microsoft was even thought of. They simply forged ahead with it...

But still, way over-priced considering it has a massive reliance on the Windows app store filling with useful stuff in future, at least the Win8 Pro variant can run standard Windows apps regardless of market traction in the app store.

__Fill__I don't see the appeal of a netbook with a floppy keyboard that can't run regular Windows apps or be competitively priced.Sounds like the iPad.

Much better than embedding "cheating" into the license agreement and sucking £50 from the person who was deemed as "cheating" by banning them. This is a cute idea.

watchaFind me a cheaper laptop than the Macbook Air with equal specs (including size, weight and battery life) and equal performance for less.Good luck with that.Since when did performance include size and weight?

Love the comments that imply it's great when Microsoft are sued on ridiculous terms and should pay up for "stealing" IP, but Microsoft themselves are not allowed to sue when people steal their own IP... Settle out of court at a reasonable price and stop trying to ban a product that hasn't got...

So Apple's response is to say that "entering the market as another competitor is allowed". Well, yes. However the argument isn't that you started competing, it's that you price fixed. There is no flaw there, good luck with that argument.

tk1138when you copy somethign you are not stealing anything thus you are not a theif....in fact copying something is good for everyone...if you are too stupid to see this then you are a fool when you steal something you deprive someone of their property....simply copying something is not...

This is analogous to me not "adquately protecting" my car from theft, then someone stealing it and running someone over... Glad to see more places are rejecting the connection between IP / network to a particular person as sole proof of guilt. Now all they need to do is target those inflated...

nebuncorrection....they are Nokia phones...Microsoft installed the OS on them but it's not considered a Microsoft phone unless Microsoft manufactures the phone, which they don'tThis is a strange distinction. They may as well have manufactured them as Microsoft impose minimum hardware...

I use a Windows Phone with great success, the LG Optimus 7. Has my Xbox live account integrated so Live games contribute to my profile. Everything is integrated nicely. Only annoyance is the camera, but that is hardware, not software. The problem as I see it, it's hard to break the back of...

Funny thing is, holding the data doesn't require power - switch off the servers and the only remaining cost is rent. Providing data services for someone who abuses it should not be just cause for ploughing legal action against them. Does that mean we go after all ISPs for providing the...
