@MyLittleBuddha: I know it's not 'technically' hard. My point is that you have to DO it, which is "hard" for your typical software installation. Creating a user account to make software work seems excessive. Not to mention the fact that users aren't "free". You use disk space (very little, I know) and you clutter…

@MyLittleBuddha: As I pointed out, with that approach you'd have to actually create an additional user account on your machine. Not exactly the quick, easy, and lightweight solution.

What about those of us who actually password protect our computer? I see a reader below mentioned creating a guest account but that seems like a lot of trouble for something that is supposed to be a lightweight solution. It seems I have to choose between protecting my data OR my machine.

Oh come on, this is actually a very neat idea. I'd much rather view an ad then try to decipher the crap the average Captcha throws at you. I can't help but feel everyone is expressing an ignorant knee-jerk reaction to ads in general and others are letting the IE advert skew their opinion. Perhaps this wasn't the…

I don't really understand how this solves the stove problem. Typically stove outlets are hidden behind the stove itself and not accessible enough for something like this. Or do hipsters have some new kind of stove I don't know about?

Until next generation when one console jumps out to a lead again, yes.

Wow, how about a little more journalism and a little less rant? How many passes do other companies get on being late with features but you just can't wait to shoot down something Microsoft does.

Decline in GROWTH does not equal "dying". Growth is growth. However little, growth signifies a positive change in sales. ONE negative month is a bit early to start planning the funeral.

Maybe they wonder why Americans use iPhones. Right or wrong, it's typical that Americans believe their way is right and question the actions of others. (BTW, I'm an American)

@senselocke: ALL of your stories and experience are not at all relevant to the point I'm trying to make. You have yet to present any relevant proof yet insist that you have some exclusive unarguable evidence that I am wrong. You're not disagreeing, you're flat out saying I'm wrong. I posted an opinion and you felt…

@DrForbidden: I agree that the two are not mutually exclusive. It seems that everyone arguing with seems to think I'm suggesting that he was ONLY trying to save himself and didn't care about others. Obviously he was try to save all involved but that came from a need to save himself as part of that group. We're not…

@senselocke: "I'd be more concerned with the kid than with me if a dog was charging, and worried that it would go for the kid instead."

@Snake123: Your evidence is an article that doesn't even specify the specific issue at hand and you just want to argue what you 'believe' happened? Unless you're suggesting everyone was already lined up single file when the gunman entered the room the pure logistics suggests a conscious 'decision' to move in front of…

No one visits Japan anymore

@Snake123: Yeah... umm... first of all that is a horrible example and is exactly what I'm talking about. The teacher saw a gunman and made a decision to protect the students. A DECISION. If, however, the teacher was unaware of the situation and just looked up and saw the gun she would most likely duck. We all…

@senselocke: Jesus Christ, you do one good thing that any parent would do and all of a sudden you want to put yourself on a frickin' pedastal. It's one thing to see your child in danger and reacting and an entirely different thing to see yourself in danger and instinctually protect others instead of preserving your…

@DrForbidden: No, he was instinctually swerving to preserve himself, just as any experienced driver would do. Apparently no one in this thread has had to swerve to avoid an accident. Am I less of a hero because I survived?

@Snake123: Where is this evidence? Until you present it you're nothing but a troll.

@senselocke: In all of the examples you presented there was time, however so little, to make a quick decision. Those people CHOOSE to do the right thing. I'm saying that given a small enough window that you must purely act on instinct, you will ALWAYS try to save yourself, unless you suffer from some sort of mental…
