din-9··on Windows 8.1’s user-hostile backup story
The point being made is that those features have been removed from 8 and not from 7.

> The problem is that they are actively removing excellent features from 7.

... is a little ambiguous in reply to a comment saying they will stay on 7.

din-9··on Microsoft ignored tip that it botched browser choice in Windows 7 SP1 (2012)
The headline is unfairly phrased clickbait. Something like "Microsoft support engineers not publicly seen to follow up report of missing browser choice question in Windows 7 SP1" would be more honest; and probably lead to less ad revenue.

Making your details private does not stop unsolicited contact; there are common tricks recruiters play to contact you anyway.
din-9··on Justin Timberlake Made a Fortune Giving His Album Away
I believe touring and merchandising have always been where bands/artists can make the most money. If you have not read it, Courtney Love's essay from more than a decade ago that coevered how bands get paid for albums might be eye opening http://www.salon.com/2000/06/14/love_7/
din-9··on Linux 3.4 kernel released
Wheezy already has 3.2

din-9··on Sun-java6 packages removed soon from Debian/Ubuntu (and all other linux distros)
http://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=names&keyword... shows Debian stable is on 3.5. That was still one version behind at the release of Squeeze, but saying 3.3 (two more years behind) is unfair. Experimental has 3.7 packages, so the situation seems to be improving.
din-9··on The iPod of 2004
I think the computers at least appear dated now as they set trends of the time. The iMac in particular has seen PC clone manufacturers pumping out superficially similar designs with each revamp.
