Is it not obvious to you that pretty much any consumer level internet connected device has the ability to spy on you now? I have FIVE cameras pointed at me right now, (Ipad 2, kinect, nexus 7, iphone 4S, webcam.) Are you telling me the government isnt finding ways to tap these? Fool.
Who gives a fuck if a job is lost? I have no problem replacing men with machines. A competent man will find a new way to sustain himself without relying on holding back progress.
Some retailers have their lawyers draw up scary notes asking for money in civil damages, while pursuing the criminal case. They dont often pursue it in court, but it does generate revenue
We are not concerned with culpability, but rather the completely unreasonable response from the court. The judge should never be allowed to wield punishments meant for large corporations against a private individual.
All you had proof of was that SOMEONE leaked a watermarked file owned by someone else, nothing more.. You had no 'power'. You would have to prove the watermarked file was willfully provided by the owner, and a watermarked file fished out of the sea of the internet is not going to cut it.
Let me explain it simply. On Earth, water falls from the sky, very frequently, sometimes with great force. Having a consumer level bomb that is activated by water is a bad idea whilst operating on Earth. It is a very volatile condition. These cars BURNED by being put in water and you dont think that is cause for alarm? Not one or two but over a DOZEN.
Why not? It is perfectly capable of doing so, trivially. The pocket computer i carry around is FAR more powerful and better equipped then my college PC that i ran an IRC download site from.
The problem with your summary is that you learned to live with the limitations. A nice anecdote, but useless for the rest of us that are storage hungry. Its nice that you came to a realization you dont need X amount of songs on your device, that doesnt mean the need for massively more storage on a tablet isnt there. You would deny choice because you are too unimaginitive to figure out what a tablet with a huge local buffer could do.
I REALLY hope you are being sarcastic. . I want to load up full resolution movies without having to convert because of SPACE restrictions. Nexus 7 plays 1080p jsut fine, but good luck actually storing more then 2 movies at that resolution. (yes i realize the nexus 7 is 720p ish, again, i dont want to to have to process, transcode or maintain separate libraries at different resolutions.)
Yes but then can i take the song that is on-device and move it somewhere else? Where is the file stored? How do i share it with my friend device to device, ad-hoc?
I like to load recorded TV on mine. 128 GB is the bare minimum i need to operate at the volume i want to. Im paitently waiting on the new NAND process to come online and make bigger modules available. Google is artificially restricting how much memory these devices can hold to force you through their services. Its punishment, not innovation.

Choice is good. The fact that you cant think of a use for a wired ethernet connection on a tablet is sad, especially when it is trivial to have the capability.
Wireless is not a REPLACEMENT for wired, it is an alternative. They function similarly, but not identically. If you have to ask why, you are seriously asking the wrong question.
Its sad that you are so inured that you consider Microsoft the only possible enterprise solution. There are several factors that conspire (literally and figuratively) to maintain this state, but it is in NO WAY the only way to compute in business, nor is it always the most practical solution. The current paradigm is not the only one possible.

It is OK for workplaces to fire people that dont fit in. 'Culture fit' is a real thing.

Hi, I was dumb enough to hand the keys to my Mercedes to some 'valet' dude and he wrecked it. Guess its my fault!
IM pretty sure the article says he didnt show up, rendering a default judgment. No evidence (shaky or otherwise) required.

The judge is also required to uphold the 8th amendment, which this CLEARLY violates.

If an artist wants money, he can live perform, everything else is advertising.

Pixar bought Disney, not the other way around. Steve Jobs' estate is the single largest Disney shareholder which he acquired by 'selling' Pixar.

Under that criteria, i could label the power button a 'gaping security hole'
And in such a ruling showed their complete ignorance.

Its not a phone, its a celluar pocket computer that makes voice calls.
