Did you get emoji support in iOS 6, Tallet Skil? Pretty nice of Apple to port that for you. Wouldn't want you to lose out emoji, like everything else. That'd be a shame.

So the choice is slow adoption to all features, or full adoption where you lose out on the key features (iOS). I'll take slow adoption and community support.

We really should not condemn Microsoft's prior attempts at a tablet with their current attempt. Microsoft tried to make tablet computing viable as early as Windows XP, but never changed the UI to support it well. Windows 8 represents a drama…

A lot of people here are missing the point (intentionally or otherwise) that Windows 8 doesn't just represent "Windows RT", the tablet-only version, but also the full version of Windows on a Tablet. This includes the ability to dock a tablet…

Windows RT isn't particularly appealing to me. I have little interest in running Metro-only apps, especially when an x86/x64 equivalent can also run Metro apps, as well as a full-blown PC. Windows RT is a weird animal, but Windows 8 (especia…

Yes, NasserAE, but the concept of a Hyperlink is recognizing a data structure and providing an action upon recognizing it for what it is. Recognizing an HTML Hyperlink is done through tags, but recognizing a phone number can be done the same way, …

Thank you, Jonorom. That's my point. Public Domain. So can you now explain to me how Apple was able to patent this concept, which broadly defines a Hyperlink, when it existed prior in HTML? http://www.freepatentsonline.com/5946647.html…
