Nathan: Yes its designed to suit the touch devices so basically the common touch devices are mobiles even though the touch screens are available right now. Anyway I think its meant for touch screens I guess but the usage is very low for that.
- What about Google Glass? Do you think they will come out with an interactive option? Voice controlled that interacts with physical devices?
Fine syed, answer this query of mine. Do you think you can allow some time for a user to get used to the interface ? It would be fine if its a commecial software but for an OS , can you ?
I didn't mean that complicated is good. What I meant was that since it is different it takes time for users to get used to it. I don't feel that it is complicated. It is different from the previous versions so people find it difficult initially.
For example, consider the button on the MAC. They are the exact opposite on that of Windows. Does that make MAC complicated?
I would not agree with you. The UI is going towards betterment and even if it is not easy to grasp initially it does increase the interactivity. So I do not consider it to be a mistake.
I don't think it takes that much time. You can get acquainted with the basic features within a day. Exploring the entire OS might take longer but it would not keep you from doing your tasks.
Syed: Exactly you cannot adjust to the UI at instantly. Also there were some compatibility issues for me but luckily for your friend it was not there. Just imagine after working with computers and windows for more than 15 years how can you allocate time to get used to another version of Windows ?
Since, my work laptop has Windows 7 I usually work with it. So I haven't given it a complete shot. I just used it on another persons laptop. It seemed to be fine. Takes a while to adjust to the UI.

Recently, the Obama administration has been of two minds where privacy rights are concerned. On one hand, you have an administration that vowed to veto CISPA and mandated open data for government websites. On the other hand, you have an increasingly out-of-control Department of Justice on a fishing expedition at AP and demanding legislation to let the FBI wiretap private, encrypted communications and levy fines if a company fails to comply.
The apartment and house sharing service, Airbnb, now requires members to verify their identities by demonstrating a presence on the web, and by either scanning a government ID or entering detailed personal details. Other enterprises should take a close look at Airbnb's verification policies.

The whole Amazon.reader debate is a double-stupid. It's stupid to think that there's any e-book buyer who doesn't know Amazon's URL, and it was stupider to let ICANN launch the whole free-form TLD initiative to start with.
