I dont think you understand the media's endgame here. The goal is to make sure they get paid for every human mind that gets touched by their works, period.
And I owned most of them, so please save the marketing barbs. Palms, Clies, handsprings, WinMo, Palm Pre. They all sucked at computing except the last one. They did useful things like calendering and secretary crap, but they weren't very useful broadly. My winMo phone might as well have been a dumbphone for all the computing i got it to do. I couldnt even get Acrobat to install on the thing.
I would not be endorsing the Parrot. They still have problems of the thing just taking off on owners, never to be seen again. Sometimes on the first flight. Seriously, how do you not have a failsafe for that?
Did you know when you post your slashdot password, slashdot knows and puts in all ********* instead to protect you? Neat, you should try it! No really, its awesome!
This is Google's biggest failing on Android, allowing the cell phone market to drive their COMPUTER designs. THere is a part of me that really resents that mobile computing is at the mercy of DUMB-PIPE providers. This is like letting 1950s At&T design all phones, forever.
I diasgree, since the iphone is already packed with sensors (accelerometers, gyros, several radios and directly receives satellite positional information). A PADD was portrayed as a passive device, like the e-ink readers we have now. Our current phones already do more sensing then what PADDs were ever shown to do.
It has a wireless 5 Ghz-N connection, to be precise, the 4S is limited to 2.4 Ghz.

To me, my iphone is the first device ive ever looked at and said, "you are the progenitor of the Tricorder". Pocket computing began with the iphone. You may look at the device as a trinket, to me its one of the most powerful tools ever to be created.
NO it doesnt because the devil is in the details. The DETAILS of the samsung design patent case CERTAINLY show they are culpable. Anymore reductio ad absurdum and im gonna puke.
Samsung tried selling Pepsi in a Coke shaped bottle, which i think almost anyone will agree would be wrong. Looking at the 2 tablets its plain to see Samsung was trying ot confuse. Im not a huge fan of Apple, but I call out bullshit when i see it. Reducing the argument to lolroundedcorners is childish and ignores the reality that samsung intentionally tried to confuse the marketplace.
The worst thing about the Space Shuttle is that it exposed how NASA is funded. Its not pure science, its 'pass work out to my friends first, space second". Politicians shouldnt be in charge of how NASA operates. If we could change the way we allocate money to NASA by appointing SCIENTIST-SENATORS ( this is not a fully formed thought, merely a recognition that lawyers are not scientists), then we might make some progress.
Im all for paying artists for work, i am not for allowing such a system to stifle true human innovation. The communications network that has grown over the last 20 years is definitely as big an event as fire, the wheel, growing crops, artificial light. I hate to see such a beast leashed by ARTISTS. Better to abolish copyright altogether, human culture will continue on.
"The bottom line is, if you do a good job and request a fair payment, people will gladly pay"
This is the best statement in the whole thread. We have to dispell this notion that every artist must receive payment for every mind touched and anything less then full payment for every single head is a crime
No one is saying that. However, technological progress is more important then the impetus copyright provides. People will STILL create works even if copyright did not exist. I would be different sure, but there would be absolutely no lack of entertainment. I do not want to see a world where every artist expects one payment per person on everything and enforcing that with technological locks. That is an unbalanced social bargain and is too high a price merely to provide incentive to creative works. We are allowing culture to stifle technological innovation. My iphone is absolutely strangled by copyright considerations. My Cyanogen android nook color is a kickass portable computer/server etc..

To me, the attempt to digitally lock text files is an affront to human rights. Im sorry you cant see this. Technology > copyright.

Check out the Amazon reviews. MULTIPLE owners complaining about this happening and Parrot basically says 'you're fucked, want to buy another?'
Freedom of speech DOES NOT include slander and libel and all kinds of other speech that his Privilege extends him.

Generally, yes it does.

Your comment obviously means you have never used a Magic Mouse on Lion.
Detroit has had one for at least 2 decades as well.
I was actually referring to the fact that Android handset makers pay royalties to microsoft.
I like how you think!
Is it wrong to answer yes?
28 day shelf life versus 8-10 hour battery that can be charged trivially with one of the most standardized interfaces in the world.
