Wouldn't they then become emulators of app runtimes?

Isn't a browser a one size fits all container that was never destined to last?

The article is 2012, not 2015. Let's see what they do when they hit 1B users.

Why don't we test this hypothesis and start talking about something in whatsapp and see if we get ads on facebook?

If you have a late 2012 or early 2013 MBP you will know that your MBP will restart every time you played a video from youtube because they had a faulty GPU and refused to acknowledge it. There are problems with everything including the chromebooks but Apple's focus on quality is making Microsoft think twice and as a result is lifting all boats.
Can they atleast open source this technology? I can use it for my business.

Why is it monumental? Java runs on windows already and they are third parties like Bluestacks who have demonstrated running android apps on Windows.

I feel there is good and bad. I am glad he moved to a more data driven and agile culture. He is also empowering engineers in his organization. The bad is that they all suffer from the windows mindset and spend a great deal of time building for windows. With all the patents they own they literally own android and yet they are not willing to allow android apps on windows phone or surface pro 3. It feels like a slow march towards irrelevance.

Bill gates is surely making a big difference in the world. Probably more than he did with windows.

Re:Microsoft Band on Thursday October 30, 2014 @10:37AM (#8533157)
I actually think it is a great idea because I don't want to stop wearing my stainless steel watch on the only premium part - wrist. Most right handed people wear their watch on their left hand and it is a hard habit to break. In that way, it is good that I can wear this band on my left hand.
