Its cute that you keep circling back around that the iphone is nothing more then a shiny toy, representing no fundamental shift in how we use mobile devices. An interesting, albeit deluded perspective. I guarantee you more science and engineering went into designing it then the lightbulb or assembly line.
In contrast to those that buy law to get what they want... Social Bargain is the apt term to call the exchange of limited time and scope monopolies for future culture enrichment. Copyright is supposed to be a balance of allowing creator enrichment while enriching society in the long run. We are now asking where is the balance to be struck in the age of trivial information exchange. The problem IP has is it flies directly against Liberty and so we must use great caution when setting its limits. Right now caution is abandoned and we are allowing the IP holders to encroach Liberty too far.
It sure as fuck is an argument. Copyright is a SOCIAL BARGAIN. We, The People have every right to tell IP holders to shove it up their ass, if we so desire. And I assure you that people will continue to make great art long after copyright bites the dust. To think otherwise completely ignores human nature.
Notice how my post is facts, figures, and data pulled from the respective websites and your post is full of subjective terms, 'I dont see' 'value' 'satisfaction' 'opinion' '.
Phenom x6 1045T is 500 MHz slower at base, and in turbo single-thread mode the intel chip is a full gigahertz faster and does more work per clock while being cooler and more energy effcient. Further, the AMD part doesnt have a built in GPU, which if taken away drops the intel TDP even more. Im not trying to slam AMD here, but the we are no longer talking minor differences.
Now go look at your power meter and try to keep that same smugness. AMD makes fine products, but they run hot and consume almost double the power of intel equivalents. Heat and power are a big deal to me.
Turn in your geek card NOW. Seriously, what you are suggesting is a serious crime and an abuse. At the end of the day its jsut a human ending his life, not something that needs to be banned. Obviously its not something we want to broadcast to everyone, but going ot youtube is a choice. There is nothing wrong with morbid curiosity at this level.
Thats why you build a 'master' e-book for all the streams and keep the pre-production files available so that the material can be re-mixed as needed. Its not a stretch to imagine asking a college level professor to assemble the appropriate modules for his course, packaging them into an ebook and distributing it via the school network. My professors do this now for everything BUT the book in my Comp Sci courses. I would like to add i imagined an ebook only model. E-readers are now a fraction of the cost of books, they are truly a viable alternative.
Clearly you dont understand what a monopoly is. Apple holds NO MONOPOLIES AT ALL, full stop. Believe me, if Apple had a monopoly, I would be the first one pointing it out. Microsoft was the last true monopoly we will see in tech for a looooong time. It would be impossible for Apple to achieve the market-share MS once had. There are just too many viable competitors now.
Fuck you and your assertion that a tablet REQUIRES network to be useful. Also, do you not know that quite a few tablets support KB and mouse? You are the kind of idiot that sees you cant play Halo 4 on PS3 and says consoles are junk. Even your sig is useless and outdated.
Mathematics is one course that absolutely should have free open source textbooks made for it and be REQUIRED to teach from. This would save the students an incredible amount of money and you can be sure the information isnt going to become dated any time soon. Even the 'construction files' that layout the book should be available and open source so the book can be re-arranged, new pictures inserted, customization etc.
We have LONG passed the point that you need the latest fire breathing hardware to be a 'gamer'. People that go SLI, exotic cooling etc, are HARDWARE junkies first, its not the defining characteristic of a gamer. Back in the day we built exotic hardware out of necessity to play games, not hardware adulation. I have 4 'hand assembled' Sandy/Ivy Bridge systems, and only one has a real video card in it. The rest handle graphics jsut fine. All of them play TF2 '2fort' @ 1080p no problem. Im not saying its the best image or experience, but it runs well and is cheap.

Some of actually care about the science mission and want to choke the life out of the current NASA PR people.

Are you fucking kidding? Edison had a team of engineers too. One of them was TESLA.
And Apple perfected the FUNCTIONALITY of the smartphone. Neither 'invented the category' but they refined it into a usable product.

Id rather be poor and free. 4 years of life is a very long time to me.

Protocol only facilitates communication, it is not required to enable conversation.

Overall, Nvidia makes a better product. All AMD cards have a major weakness, they are supported by the AMD driver team.
Communication > Art
I honestly think that if we are going to commit state-sponsored murder we should force the masses watch what is done in their name.
While i agree it shouldnt be broadcast, it shouldnt be censored at the internet level either.

And he also had to go in manually at the end or the Eagle would have crashed.

i3s dont come with intel 4000 graphics, . On Sandy Bridge its intel HD 2000, on Ivy Bridge its intel HD 2500.
Intel Quick Sync says 'lol'
