This only applies to the tablet/smartphone/whatever version of windows, where applications must be programmed using a specific language which is not what firefox is coded in. It's a situation not unlike what happens in android/ios, I'm not surprised. I would be worried if this were to happen on the "regular" desktop Windows.-jgpaiva (May 16, 2012, 05:15 AM)

That seems to be a danger. The problem being, who controls "it". I fear it will not be the person chipped that is in control.He's got a point Ren, gilded cages are still cages ... yet the occupants rush to close themselves inside.-Stoic Joker (May 04, 2012, 03:46 PM)I'm not sure I follow. The guilded cage of reality where you are forced to follow the laws of physics vs.the cage of an artificial reality controlled by someone else?-Renegade (May 04, 2012, 10:59 PM)
Being "chipped" is the end. It changes you from being human to being property - slavery. It is the ultimate in surveillance and total control.-Renegade (May 03, 2012, 05:22 PM)
If you start accepting such monopoly as fair practice and then also dont mind google stalking you as annoying, or try to justify every act of your favorite brand then you're perfect candidate for chip implants in head.Are you suggesting there may be something wrong with having chips implanted in one's head?-mahesh2k (May 03, 2012, 12:08 PM)

"All it takes" to avoid the "Cheap Chinese Crap" image is some smart advertising, maybe using words like "old time quality at old time prices", calling on the days when everything was made better or such.-TaoPhoenix (May 01, 2012, 08:15 AM)

Love your pets like they love you, and never dismiss them as "Just an animal" ... They are part of our families and part of our lives...and if you have committed to getting a pet, you should treat them as good as you would a child.-Stephen66515 (May 02, 2012, 02:38 AM)

Only problem is it would fight the keyboard for primacy horozontal space, but it is an interesting idea.HP has an option in that department. Some of their AIOs that normally sit up like a typical monitor, can also slide down to a tablet friendly input access angle.-TaoPhoenix (April 30, 2012, 08:43 PM)

By the way, the Syncdocs thing seems to be a bit of a scam. After it has synced 500 documents, it stops syncing and asks you to start paying a fee for the service. Since I don't value the service nor the data, I am hardly likely to be willing to pay for it - in fact, I think the bandwidth it uses in duplicating all those files is a waste of money.
For example, if I have a document in (say) 3 different Gdocs virtual folders (they are really labels), then SyncDocs faithfully creates 3 "real" folders on my local PC and puts one copy of the document into each of them. Sheesh.-IainB (April 26, 2012, 09:22 AM)
