Note that these restrictions (including the level 20 limit) have always been in place for trial accounts. What they've really done is remove the time limit on the trial.
Don't spread FUD like it's fact. That's what someone is speculating the law might mean. I think that's a stupid way of interpreting the effect on YouTube; they already have the controls to prevent unauthorized playback/embedding, so anyone doing so is doing so legally. Herp.
You're mistaken. It's not the rendering engine that Apple has a problem with; it would be no TOS violation to port Gecko to the iPhone. Apple doesn't allow applications that execute code, which is why it's the Javascript engine that is the source of trouble. Opera Mini is allowed because the limited JavaScript that it does support is executed server-side rather than in the app. Opera has the experience and infrastructure to make a web browser that's appealing (due to its speed) despite lacking a JavaScript engine; I think it would be challenging for Mozilla to do likewise.
Being able to attach descriptions to digital photos isn't a new concept. It may not have been done before on phones, but that's miles away from being significant enough to warrant a patent.
For those who weren't members of the site, when they started their "Gleemax" project they replaced large numbers of the board staff, whom most members got along with well and respected, with new staff that nobody knew. The moderation process was changed, making it stunningly ineffective, and problems were handled in absurdly poorly-thought-out ways.
Wizards of the Coast seems to be trying to do as much as possible to damage itself online. Magic Online v3 brought a new client that almost everyone hated, has compatibility problems galore and was still delayed for something like two years.
A large portion of Flickr photos are licensed under Creative Commons licenses. They could easily query for any tagged in that location under a suitable license. By selecting a By-Attribution license a photographer has already made their photos available to anyone doing something like this, legally.
It's not a mod chip, exactly. You don't mod your system at all. It's just a custom game card with a microSD slot that allows you to play NDS ROMS you put on it.
I haven't heard anything new about that, I'm not sure if it's still being throttled, however the speeds I got when downloading were fine by my maybe-not-great standards (200 Kbps).

iOS Safari has a built-in private browsing setting now. Have you given it a try?
I hadn't heard of this before, very interesting! Here's the /. post: http://tech.slashdot.org/story/11/07/16/0028255/belgian-newspapers-delisted-on-google
Facebook's got about 1/8th of the world's popular as users, so 4.47 + 7/8 = 5.3 users on average. It doesn't even round to 6.

and then from the next paragraph:
AFAIK it doesn't let you download the song, it just lets your stream it, if you pay an annual fee.
A bit less abusable.

The examples you gave are all crimes with victims â€" smoking marijuana, for example, harms no one but possibly myself.
It's also my birthday! Yay!

No, they said that this change would be applied retroactively.
Their (S)FTP upload server isn't responding.
The interface is horrendous.
Wow.
Huh. That seems like a very good deal. Have you used them? Are there any catches we should know about?

It's pathetic.

Ah, of course.

I've switched over to TekSavvy and am very happy. Paying less, too.
