The burden of curation falls upon the USER in the Information Age. I agree with what you are saying, but the plain fact is, it up to each of us to be our own curators now, instead of looking to limit the choices for everyone.
What you gain in lower hardware you make up for in game costs. TCO for PC includes a MASSIVE array of functionality and a back catalog that spans DECADES. I would say with a smartly designed PC, the PC has the overall advantage in TCO.
No it wasnt an amazing piece of hardware. The xbox360 should be looked at as a HUGE monstrous failure of design (RROD) that happened to have some really good games on it. The PS3 was FAR more elegant, complete and forward thinking compared to the 'doesnt even have HDMI' launch 360. I lost 3 xboxen, my day 1 full back compat PS3 is still going strong. Best $600 i ever spent on a device.
A console has an INCREDIBLY limited library compared to a PC. A PC picks up almost its entire heritage in back compat, PLUS all the old arcade and console games too.
I wonder if there is a 'National Strategic Chocolate Reserve'. Its a proven morale booster and reward system. Might be handy to have a lot of it on hand in times of crises.
Its not 'more secure' if i have to drop ALL defenses for one driver. Apple should find a way to sign these, not force me out of a secure configuration. People replace HDDs in macs, they need to support it.
NO! They are different. Plex is better at streaming, but XBMC is the better local client. I like Plex but i cant stand the sync shit. Just give me direct access to the damn file. Paying for penetrating the firewall is pretty annoying too, but i have lifetime so whatever.
Mail is tricky. If it was ANY other service, i would be right there with you, we want a two way internet. People should be able to serve from home. But its email, and that monster brings the internet to its knees if we dont keep it leashed tight.
as i said, that law was bought and paid for by special interests. It does not and should not represent lawful copyright. Your appeal to authority doesnt make it right, only legal.
I would say, find a way to play live versus being propped up by artificial monopoly. This argument is not nearly strong enough to continue the abuse that is 21st Century copyright.
Fuck that ARM at 14nm, give me x86 at 14nm. My x86-64 dell Venue tablets ALREADY smoke almost everything in ARM at 22nm. Atom is STRONG compared to ARM, i dont know what you are going on about.
WRONG. My Dell Venue 8 Pro ($199, retail) is not a laptop replacement. It is a mobile shim so that i never again see the words 'Not available on mobile'. It is not a toy, but a serious piece of my overall photography kit. ARM tablets are like little satellites that orbit around it.
Lawfully could include the original length of copyright, being 14+14. It depends on what law you are referring to. The Constitution's definition of lawful copyright length is the only sane one we have. The rest are QUITE clearly bought and paid for law. Lawfully does not mean its right, only that those in power decided they have the ability to punish you.
The problem is is that this 'debate' casts MASSIVE aspersions on men as a whole. They need to be much more conservative with their terms. Telling me gender is completely off the table is flat out ignorant. Men and women are different, mentally and physically, we re allowed to debate and discuss it.
What is interesting is that the more powerful the mark, the less protection it should be afforded... Your Coke example should be the exact opposite way things work. If the mark is so strong that it bleeds into other categories, then you dont need government protection for it.
NO it wouldnt. IF he had come out saying this a few years ago, then you might have a point. I will always remember Obama for letting the telcos off the hook for the spying stuff BEFORE Snowden.
You are playing their game. You are using THEIR rhetoric to further your argument. If you allow them this, they will use it on the ENTIRE citizenry, not just 'terrorists and spies' Just look at the American Patriot Act for an example. Designed to hunt terrorists, it is OVERWHELMINGLY used in drug cases instead......

Just look at the early web to see UI's growing pains.

How much do you think a standard Hershey Bar (plain, 43g) should cost in $USD? Genuinely curious.

Just use cash, its infinitely easier than all this nonsense.

Thats why you pirate it instead. Musicians should be paid for performing, not licensing. Nothing beats having a local copy.
Artists should be paid by performance, not from licensing. The age of limited copying is over, their model is dead.
WE didnt think they would fund SCO either.... but they did and thats why we are VERY cautious on this matter.
My only reaction to this article is "Duh". We use echolocation every single day, most people are too 'blind' to actually consciously process it.

There is no real computing difference between a tablet and a desktop. Its all the same thing, along a scale.
