If a PSP from 2004 can share AN ENTIRE GAME over wifi through game sharing, im quite sure every iphone ever made has the hardware to trivially share files.
Apple still has feature fragmentation. Airdrop is going to be Iphone 5 or above only. I find it hard to believe an iphone 4 cant exchange files in the field.
Did you even think before you commented about the gas cap? Picture your local gas station and imagine why having all the caps on the same side might be a bad idea.
IM the exact opposite. I have tried Tivo twice, a decade apart, and while i liked it in the beginning, their pricing model is absolutely terrible. Take for instance 'Lifetime' subscriptions. Why is the lifetime of the particular device and not MY lifetime, or at least the lifetime of the product line? They charge exorbitant rates to transfer that lifetime membership ($150) to another person. They charge PER DVR, so if i have 2 or 4 or 10 tivos i pay the same (albeit slightly discounted) rate per machine. Why cant one download the guide and share it with the other ones?
Tivo flat out SUCKS compared to a Win7 DVR. They charge monthly if you add streaming hardware to your setup. Tivo is pay pay pay pay. I have a Tivo Premiere rotting in the closet since i deployed Win7 DVRs throughout the house.
Civics is not Programming and you pretty much lose any footing at that point. The entire reason we have 50 individual states is to enjoy variation in law. The Founding Fathers did not want to 'globalize' all of it, it only leads to abuse. On issues of civil rights, constitutionality, i like a strong Federal, but beyond that our law specifically leaves power to the States. I like things compartmentalized when it comes to ruling over 350 million humans. Its ok if a few people 'hack', its better then putting a boot to the neck of everyone.
So logical that you would bring back cruel and unusual punishment for 'selling drugs to children'? This is an appeal to emotion, not logic. Spock would be disappointed.
THe problem with this sort of thing is that it sells TOO well and you could possibly see legislation in the future forcing this ot be installed on all computing devices.
"I am on the fence with this. If we are going to have a ID card it should be useful. But I do want strong oversight so it won’t be abused."
In that case 50 individuals is better then a unilateral decider.
You could record on a Win7 DVR, compress to Mp4, and then feed those to the AppleTV through itunes. For my aged in-laws i gave them a Micca PMP (personal media player) and a NAS device with a USB port. I send movies to the NAS USB port with a thumbdrive in it. They pull out the drive, stick it in the PMP and their movie autoplays. Simpler then a DVD player. The last hurdle is getting CEC control so that the PMP automatically switches inputs on play.
Because we are not fools. We KNOW what can be done now. Its safe to assume that the NSA has "10 Facebooks" worth of storage and computing power without having to support hundreds of millions of end-users.
Online banking is backed by physical entities. If an event happens it is often easily fixable. IM not saying run your life through online banking, but it is a useful tool backed by real-world interests.

Yes, please quote us a giant hypocrite of a man.

The difference is the disc is physical, and is considered proof of license. WIth physicality comes certain resale rights.
Amazing what happens when you piss powerful people off.
People being sought for questioning dont get to lay down conditions. Thats not how sovereigns operate.
Ecuador is granting him sanctuary, not asylum.
Exactly. Trolls and fanboys are a signal-to-noise issue, nothing more.

That is some really bad logic.
Your last sentence nails it. Possibility for abuse is way too high to allow government that much latitude.
The police arent supposed to be MINING for crime. They have quite enough on the surface they arent handling properly.
Signal-to-noise issues have their own specialists that handle that sort of thing. Its a pretty obvious need in the Information Age.

The core problem of information in 1984 is that it is completely malleable by the party. Black literally becomes white at a party member's whim.
I have a Tivo premier rotting in the closet because its crap.
And if a car company tried to do what Sony did they would be razed to the ground.

Because no one would bother de-soldering the LED off the board.......
