    Brazil will never be ready for events like these: it takes serious organization, something they're not used to. I strongly recommend: don't come to the World Cup or Olympics, it may be your worst nightmare coming true.

    There are some hurt hearts that can not even think of Facebook anymore, let alone speak about the IPO thing...

    Ares, your logic is that a loose nut is ok because Boeing's rival Airbus problems are bigger? You gimme a break.

    Again, Apple has the good idea, but takes too long to put in practice. Vultures, again, take advantage of that.

    I just hope they don't use the awful CG they used in the episodes I, II and III and return to maquetes and miniature used in IV, V and VI - which were much more realistic. I remember how awesome it was to watch the war ships in the battles in the space, and how disappointing and ridiculous was to watch the CG creatures and environment created in computers.

    This argument that population growth will decrease because of legalizing same-sex marriage is ridiculous. Same-sex couples make a insignificant share of the population. Plus the number of children that need to be adopted is much bigger than the number of same sex couples that are getting married.

    So we both agree that Apple no longer supports its decade-old OS versions, yet you insist that Microsoft has to continue to do so? XP came out in 2001.

    You are comparing oranges to, well, apples. It's as transparent as a clean glass that OSX older versions are secure and Apple needs not do anything from its side. While Windows, well, this article explains why people are thinking of taping ports...

    Had an update for your iMac G3 lately? The newest operating system it can run (if you modify the computer) is OS 10.5. (a.k.a. "Leopard".) Apple doesn't support 11-year-old operating systems anymore, either.

    Yes, but even older OSX versions are stable and secure. I am a witness to that. Have been using it for years, never had a single problem with viruses.

    Back to the topic, reading all this make me feel relieved I don't use MS stuff anymore. What a waste of time and money MS is making customers spend. It is OK MS to introduce new technologies, it's its business to keep innovation going on. But it should also keep supporting older versions of its own software. And upgrading should be a decision left to the users, not a MS decision. Another big problem is that from one version to the next one, it seems that MS users get lost in the process. Why not make it smooth an easy to understand? A company can lose millions of dollars in the upgrade process due to personnel mistakes.

    I have one of those walking dead accounts in the 400 million number. Haven't used it for years, after hotmail locked me out of it. Nice way to treat its customers, MS. Used the clunky Gmail for a couple of years and finally found a stable and really useful service in iCloud.com.

    @Kent: where have you studied Latin? The word for "city" in Latin is urbis, not "polis" which is correctly from Greek.

    The Dutch royals have a life. They go shopping, have credit cards, do the grocery, buy their own clothes, travel as tourists, go to their favorite hair dresser. What a contrast. If I were her, I would stay in Holland. It would create such a scandal it would change the Japanese Royal Agency forever. If not bringing an end to that house of parasites. Poor woman.

    As I am living in a country under the rule of a leftist administration, I have this admiration for the courage Thatcher had to face the parasite unions that walk hand-in-hand with leftist politicians, that not only implement populist laws in deterioration of economics (Venezuela, Argentina, Ecuador and Brazil) but also in deteterioration of freedom (the four leftist countries I mentioned are implanting laws aganist freedom of press). Englain may not be in perfect shape economically, but if Thatcher hadn't shaken the country from the Coal Age in the 1980s, England would be now the in worse conditions. For those complaining: you live in a free country, still one of the world powers economic and culturally. If you think it's not good, then move to the heinous hell that is Argentina right now, and see the difference of living in a industrialized, free country and living in one where economy is ruining and you can't post free opinions in the midia.

    @fadamor: though correct grammar rules should be applied to news articles, it is far from rare to see "kms" or "hrs" standing for kilometers or hours. Also, common sense should avoid interpretation that the train is running at 48km per second. Not even the shuttle bus reaches that speed.
