I agree with this. I've just got Windows 7 on my corporate desktop. Although there is wide adoption of Win 7 here, Win XP was running previously, and still is on a large number of machines, if this truly sucks the enterprise sector will just wait it out like they did with Vista.
Actually it shows 'Your order has been sent to Google Commerce Ltd.'
Play shows 'Completed'. Which I assume to mean "the order has been successfully placed, you'll get the product". If I'm really that unsure I can click on 'info' and be taken to the Google wallet transaction.
I truly cannot see why this is confusing to anyone. Yes it's crap that there is no announced shipping date.
I've seen people get so ridiculously worked up over this, you've pre-ordered it, just be patient. It's already stated that you'll receive an email with a tracking number when it ships. Relax, it's coming.
I agree with what you're saying, I've seen it used to write up a text document! Talk about missing the point...
Often equations are needed, along with graphing. It's very expandable and customisable by a non-programmer with VBA.
I'm not saying it's the best, but it's pretty good at what it does, and there's not a better spreadsheet application that I've found.
As an aside, I've seen it be used for managing portfolios worth millions. Then you get a clever IT dept say 'oh no, you shouldnt be doing that on a spreadsheet' and so a new IT project is created to retire the spreadsheet and copy the functionality. Predictably, the project is late, over-budget and under-delivers, so the spreadsheet lives on. Tragic tale of far too many IT projects.
I really wish they'd get rid of that awful 'ribbon' in the file explorer. It's very practical in Office applications, but for a file explorer it's just a bit too much, imo.
Traditionally, with an IPO that's become as popular as this one, you have a representative from the company being listed ring the bell on the trading floor of the exchange they're listing on.
However, NASDAQ lacks a proper trading floor, as they're all electronic, so they have companies deliver a live feed of said representative ringing the opening bell from the company HQ.
Yeah it's pretty impressive parsing of natural language to form financial opinions.
The Bloomberg website or Bloomberg terminal? There's a big difference between the sorts of things you can do with those two, but the website leaves a lot to be desired! Google's finance pages are fairly good at aggregation.
If they disclose who they are hiring for then what's to stop a candidate applying to the company directly? Cuts out the recruiter and they lose their fee. I've known this has happened to a few friends when they've dealt with recruiters who were stupid enough to disclose this in the first e-mail.

So rockstar in this context is spot on.
But otherwise, that terminology is complete shit, yes.
