Don't mean to be a drag - but check the first paragraph; hard to understand.

Who needs malware when you have Carrier IQ?

 

[errorcode99]

this doesn't apply to the people on this website (i'm pretty sure none of us wants free smileys)

 

[santeana]

did anyone even proof read this thing?

 

[shanky887614]

yes santeana, they paid an 8 year old to proof read it, paid them in sweats

I'm assuming you use the same proofreader for your posts?

I beleive it was done for the irony maestintaolius .... see what i did there

Is it so hard to imagine that ANY device capable of any computational power/storage will be more and more hit the higher its market share? How can a person be called expert when the brainpower above a first grade student isn't needed to see things like this? Seriously!

Hmmm... perhaps there is something to an ecosystem where you can trust the store you buy your apps from.

It must be nice to make a living stating the obvious.

Who needs Carrier IQ, when Google makes Android?

Which is why Microsoft is going to great lengths to secure Windows 8.

Honestly, Secure Boot is a good thing. Just FYI: ARM Windows 8 systems will NOT have a way to disable Secure Boot, while x86 systems WILL - although it WILL be turned on by default when you buy your system. x86 systems must display the status of Secure Boot to the user, and must also have access to the key database. (I found this info is in the new Win8 WinQual requirements just posted a few days ago)

I have the pleasure to brief you on our Data Visualization software
"Trend Compass".

TC is a new concept in viewing statistics & trends in an animated way
by displaying in one chart 5 axis (X, Y, Time, Bubble size & Bubble
color) instead of just the traditional X and Y axis. Discover trends
hidden in spreadsheets. It could be used in analysis, research,
presentation etc. In different business sectors, to name a few we
have Deutsche Bank, NBC Universal, RIM, Vanguard Institutional
Investor, Ipsos, Princeton University as our clients.

You can download a trial version. It has a feature to export
EXE,PPS,HTML and AVI files. The most impressive is the AVI since you
can record Audio/Video for the charts you create.
