"SpaceX built what they wanted without NASA or DoD people sticking their noses in."
Surely NASA had some requirements. It's just that it's not called regulation, so it's ok.
He later qualified what he said with this "There are places for those noses, like launch safety and docking, where there can be risk to citizens or government equipment (the space station). "
So yeah, you're an idiot.
Google Glass and VR are not the same thing at all. Google glass sets out to solve a fairly decent problem. How do we integrate all these wonderful feeds and sensors and data into a cohesive system that is both omnipresent and mostly transparent? SO many times in my life i wish i had a head mounted camera for a quick note or shot of something. Im not saying I want to record every second of my life, bu you cant deny live telemetry via google glass could be VERY powerful stuff. Google glass is the question, not particularly the answer.
Both cases you cited, the owner is deprived of real property. The owner was deprived of nothing physical here. He posted a picture on the internet, with no intention to sell or market it for monetization. Fair game.

Where's HAL 9000?

There are LOTS of ideas I have that cant be decided if they are viable or not until hands-on research is done. How else do we determine if the proposed solution truly is the right tool for the job? Right now his plan just might be 'source a cheap LCD, attach to Arduino, see if it is viable for the ideas they already have..'

If you have a MECHANICAL lawn timer, it is very old. I installed automatic lawn sprinklers all through college in the summer, in the 90s, and it was all digital control even then. Once in a blue moon id get a service call with a mechanical one. Is it fully mechanical with hydraulic valves or mechano-electrical?
trollolololololol you dont want to debate, you want to argue. If you cant understand how the current patent situation can stifle innovation, then you arent paying attention. By their very nature, patents restrict, not enable. So while we get more money driven inventions, that doesnt automatically mean that its the most productive system or that its societal benefit is maximized. Patents are a nicety given by society to encourage innovation. If it becomes apparent that patents stifle more then they benefit, then the entire concept needs to be revisited. Patents are for SOCIETAL benefit, with a side dish of offering the inventor a nice little limited monopoly to give him a 'attaboy'.
Because Kim Dotcom is an innocent angel, right? When you upset people with guns and money, they will come after you. Its not uniquely American in any way.
Im running a Time Machine backup on my Synology NAS. You can also easily pop a FREENAS VM and time machine backup that way too (make sure it has netatalk 2.2+). The only apple equipment you need to Time Machine is the computer you want ot backup. I would also like to point out you can full sync to multiple Time Machines by selecting a different TM volume. I backup to the NAS hourly and I also do a Time Machine backup to a local USB drive quarterly.
Any data that is 'on the cloud' should not be the only residence for that data. If you store your only copy of data that you care about in the cloud, you're an idiot
There is no such thing as an 'anonymous' night on the town. YOU ARE IN PUBLIC, expect no privacy. How are you anonymous if the patrons in the bar can see you and possibly recognize you? Its not the camera you object to, its the wholesale collection of data you deem to be 'private', which really isnt. What is the difference between a camera remembering your face in a bar or the other patrons? Bars are already FESTOONED with cameras, why would they bother telling you they added a software package to their existing surveillance system?
Copyright exists the moment pen touches paper, etc. No need for special registration needed. Trademarks you do need to register, but only if you intend on taking legal action.
Most gadgets being made NOW have at least some form of iOS/mobile support and there are more everyday. The need to own a microsoft PC is dwindling at a pace most of the geeks never dreamed of. You have inertia left, thats all, and Apple/Android/Mobile gravity grows every single second. Windows is becoming niche in a world of cheap ubiquitous hardware.
Everything you said here is the exact opposite of what the current trends are. We dont WANT an x86 phone so that it can shoehorn the desktop world into it. Thats jsut dumb. The current UI paradigms for the desktop space are all wrong for smaller screens and touch.

Gravity aint 0 anywhere in the universe.
where do you work that needs guns? I wont work anywhere where i see someone armed, thats retarded.

She gets all huffy when you ask her that.
Its a story about some nobody who got upset because he published his photograph on the internet and someone else used it. boo fucking hoo.

O please, the chilling effect from the current patent situation is felt by every maker on the planet.
Communication need not be bound by protocol for information exchange to occur. STFU

There is no such thing as 'nothing to do with the government'. You think SpaceX doesnt answer to NASA?
Clone Army or Terminators. Tough choice.
The human COST is far more then the sum of wages.
They build things by hand because the electronics industry moves too fast to set up automated production lines. This research aims to end that.
unfortunately, turnabout play does nothing for the customer or the nation.
HD surveillance. Several years worth of OTA Tivo recorded shows. (yes you can LEGALLY transfer shows from a Tivo to a computer for long term storage.)
Fuck Flash.
