Huh? You're the one who responded to my original post crying about Apple's choice of products and product placement. Then you went off on a tangent about the evils of money and drug dealers before finally delivering a diatribe about "idiots" being indoctrinated into the "religions" of various political and economic theories.
By every definition, you're the troll in this "discussion". Maybe its time for a vacation...

No, I invited you to step off your capitalist pulpit by reminding you of history, and you decided to insult me.
That is how trolls behave.
I'm sure you'll think twice before doing it again.

Good grief! 
The first insult in this thread was your snide comment about me being "subjected" to "capitalist indoctrination and propaganda".

I don't plan on reading any more of your posts if that's what you mean... and I'd appreciate it if you didn't respond to any of mine.

So personally accusing someone of being a "hater" is your very best behaviour?
You just didn't want to be reminded that the capitalist idols you adore had had to be rescued from oblivion, so anyone who mentioned it must obviously be a "hater", mustn't he?
Just like anyone who doesn't worship Allah is a "hater" to the most heavily indoctrinated and deluded followers.
What a charmer you are.
Keep your religion out of the Lounge.

That means apple could shut up shop and give everyone in the world $100
If it was spread around according to current wealth, it could solve poverty world-wide at a stroke!

Statistically, this must be true for a lot of stocks since 1997.

Maybe, but very few have gone from near bankruptcy to being the most valuable company in the world.

Swings and roundabouts. In the early and mid 90s no one would have predicted that MS wouldn't continue to dominate. Apple's time will pass, eventually.

Of course. I didn't think I'd implied otherwise.

So I've been eagerly waiting for this project[^] to start, it was first planned on kickstarter, then switched 2 days ago on indiegogo. These guys needed $70,000 to start, and have already raised about $2,000,000 overnight  . Totally Amazing. And awesome news for bees. Mine will be delivered in ... December. Merry Christmas to me.

Saw something on the weekend about this; just sent the link to a co-worker who is interested.

Looks great if it actually works.

You told it. It looks all good on the pictures where everything is used for the first time and all cleaned. I hope it does not get unusable after a couple of years.

"It is so much easier on the beekeeper and so much easier on the bees."
And it looks like the bee's knees for flies, lizards, foxes, etc. Do they seriously have to wait for the obvious, before they admit that it might not be the brightest of ideas?

Thanks for sharing Rage. Cool idea and anything that helps bees is a GOOD thing given the devastation caused by parasites, disease and pesticides.

Bluddy skype on bluddy win 8!
The only way to log in with a different account is by creating a new windows user with the ID/e-mail address/password of the other account.
So if you have a personal account (paid for by you), a business account (paid for by them), and maybe a few project accounts issued by people you're doing contracts for (paid for by a different "them"), you have to create windows users for each, and log in to windows as the different users to use them!
And having to use your windows credentials to log into a social media app has to present a security risk. Wanna get on a company's intranet? Just phish a skype account, and telnet in*.

So I have to install the same bloated, grabs-and-keeps-100-meg-of-memory-at-boot program twice on the same machine?
Besides, I'm actually looking for things that I can put on the start screen.
Without skype, all I've got is the (cr)app store and a weather widget.
Oh, and the goto_desktop button.

You can pin desktop applications to the start screen.
And if the "modern" version doesn't work for you, you could always uninstall it.

I can't see it working for any business' security department -- that "phish & telnet" thing could actually work.
Mind you, I don't think any businesses are using win 8 (including microsoft!), so it shouldn't be a problem.

That sounds like solid reasoning.
Seriously, the METRO version of Skype is minimalistic. I use the desktop version for some of the reasons cited as well as the fact it still has an API. It doesn't have to run at boot either.

I've had that problem with other Windows sites and services too... Outlook, Microsoft Virtual Academy, Microsoft Certified Professional, Microsoft Support Center, Microsoft Profile... All linked to one account. Changed my email and I had to change them all (or sign in and out of my email, and on my tablet same as you) 
I hope I'll never need another Microsoft account again...
