I love how Android allows me to keep my personal GMail and my work Exchange account in different apps, I assume that this is meant to do the same thing on iOS. That way by just looking at the little "unread" number hovering over the app I can tell whether those unread emails are personal or professional: right now I have no way of making this differentiation.
While I'm glad they are expanding the Canadian library, I think back to when Netflix first launched in Canada, and the line they gave to the news outlets was "We know the library isn't as big as in the states, but it's a licensing issue. As we get more customers, we'll add more content. So pay us now, even if our service isn't great, and we'll improve it!".
Now I'm not as big on the free market as a lot of people, but telling people to pay for a sub-par service so you can afford to improve it is a laughable argument to me. If you want to support their business model, go ahead, but I need more content before I'll pay for it.
I just looked into SuperGenPass, and there are two things that scare me:
1) If any site that you use SGP on is compromised with an XSS attack and you're using the bookmarklet, they can harvest your _master_ password.
2) This post, from a seemingly intelligent cryptographic researcher stating that the basis of the math behind SGP isn't sound: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/554224/is-the-bookmarklet-password-generator-from-supergenpass-com-safe-to-use.
This on the day that Heavy Rain is released. Preliminary reviews seem to say that it's much more adult-oriented, and not just in terms of the things that cause more adult ratings.
I just hope the people buying these phones do the research. In Canada, Rogers (one of the big three cell providers here) has said that they're not going to provide an upgrade for the HTC Magic (literally the same phone as the myTouch3G) to Android 1.6 - they think 1.5 provides a "good user experience" and so they're not going to bother. Just how do you think all these people buying new phones are going to feel when they get it home and discover a bunch of the bells and whistles they've been promised don't work? And there are already apps out there that require 1.6. That's one big difference between Android phones and the iPhone - Rogers is supporting the iPhone.
It's the re-selling that's the problem, and the profit inherent in it. And again, I'm referring to moral problem, not legal problem. Legally I think each are illegal, which is another matter altogether.
But morally, I think doing anything you want with a product after you buy it (without eating into a company's profits) is legit, but re-selling their product in a way they don't intend, and making a profit from it, that's much sketchier.
The core difference is between you buying a CD and putting it on your iPod when the record label says you can't, and someone else selling you an iPod with that CD on it, along with a copy of the CD. One is morally home and personal use, the other is business, and an attempt at a profit. To me, that's the big difference.
Ok, I see your point, but there still should be a distinction between wearing the control mechanism and wearing the actual transportation device. So while in this case, the control mechanism and the device are essentially one and the same, that's not true in all cases. I suppose your wording could still imply that, it just depends on how it's read.
I was under the impression it took the low parts of all channels. I think how this works though is that the sound card probably actually has six channels (from three stereo outputs), and for the center channel it just either combines them into a mono or deliberately outputs mono instead of the stereo that it's capable of.
Keep in mind this is conjecture, not fact, and I'm liable to be wrong, just contributing to the discussion.
I've always been of the opinion that mail was the way to do this. When my band was worried about copyrights, we just burned a CD of our album, mailed it to ourselves and now we have the sealed copy with the mail timestamp should we ever need it.
Note, however, I can't vouch for whether this is foolproof, it's just what I've been told.

The case had nothing to do with his association to the Green Party, it was in relation to his private business. http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/story/2011/10/19/pol-scoc-hyperlink.html?cmp=rss

The problem is newegg.ca's prices don't really compete up here. NCIX.com is still the Canadian newegg equivalent, imo.

I believe that would be Canadian Idol, a fairly popular Canadian TV show.
Told by a professional musician of over 20 years. Should be noted a Canadian one, and I'm Canadian too, if laws differ from the US.
