And on the opposite end of the spectrum, you apparently lack the time for vowels.

My take (just from the provided page and not from further context) is that Gates was saying MS does not do a new version of software on the basis of / for the sole or primary purpose of fixing bugs. This does not mean they do not fix bugs in a new version. It means fixing bugs is NOT the motivation for doing a new version. Bug fixes do not provide sufficient motivation for users to purchase the new version.

Some dude in India took the project and now is trying to get someone to get the job done.

Can't say much about this particular person, but I'm tired of being told who my heros ought to be. I will choose my own, thank you very much.

Loss of all is as sad as it is certain. I am sorry for him equally as for any other person I didn't know personally.

There is this thing about not saying bad things about the dead. Well, for one thing, he was very arrogant. Looking down on any student not from CMU. Such a lack of respect tells me a lot about a person.

He was an alumni of CMU and I think its fair to assume he had some amount of pride and spirit regarding his alma mater that he then spent teaching at. Just like many people have regarding their own university or college.

If you don't know or care who Dr. Pausch is, that's fine, but I'm not sure why the rest of us who respected, enjoyed or were inspired by his message and life should not have the opportunity to share our condolences and remember him together.

Software patents sereve no purpose other than inhibiting the progress of us a a species. And lawyers go "YES!".

And about Google: That's how it starts. Let's see when everyone's favorite Google changes their motto into "Don't be too evil".

If Google didn't file for it chances are some patent troll would. I agree that patents are evil but sometimes they're necessary for defense (see Barracuda fighting back against Trend Micro)

they already did that. Wasn't there a story like 6 months ago where a Google Big Wig pretty much said oh thats just a load of crap

I'm sick tired of these applications... I'm not logging in any more not to see notifications which of my friends installed what... Who cares?

I'm not sure, but a part of me doubts it. I think it's all about a very narrow group of people getting even richer.

It's good news. This was pathetic from the beginning. They didn't even care to disguise their hunger for power and control. I liked Apple for Mac. I don't any more for iPhone.
