Tell your friend to stop being a leech and relying on ads for revenue. Get a real job that doesnt rely on polluting the web. and annoying users. Hes a parasite if he cant live without ads, we dont need his work if they are the only way to do it.
Its so much worse than that. You can earn virtual currency using their software, zSilver. (playing certain games, looking at ads etc) You can also buy their premium currency, zGold, for cash.. .
When copyright returns to a sane length, THEN you can make this argument. Until then all IP is up for grabs. Copyrights are social bargains, and we have been getting the shaft on that for a good long while now.

When a computer can figure out what this is, then we will have true strong AI. Its a perspective never seen in the movie, so feeding it every frame wouldn't help. A computer would have to 'think laterally' to come up with the correct answer.
You have to keep in mind that Google and Twitter (and other tech companies) are engaged in a culture war. They are not wise intermediaries taking a hands-off approach, they are actively meddling. Take a look at some of the internal memos coming out of Google.
Its NOT A PRODUCTION LAUNCH, its a test vehicle with a good chance of exploding. If it does explode, anything you put on top of it is now at a huge loss, and any group that launched it now has to start over. The only other option besides the car is a lead block...would you be happier if they had used a lead block instead of something fun?
Emulation is NOT a grey area in the USA. Its a completely legal activity under copyright law. (for the purposes of interoperability and backup). See also *Sony V Universal*, the 'betamax' case. A backup is a backup is a backup, it doesnt matter where it came from. If you own the cart/disc, you have every legal right to a backup of that ROM.
Sony HATES multiple formats like FLAC/MP3/AAC etc. They do everything they can to make their own. If they cant, they pick only one and run with it. They are still too-often gadget makers and not computer makers. They dont even make PCs anymore, and when they did they were ham-fisted as hell about it. Sony is a gadget company, they dont understand 'empowering the user' in any way. They think of the device first, the user second.
I was so pleasantly surprised when i bought a gaming laptop and could easily access all of the internals (Acer Predator Helios 300). Pull out ~10 screws and you have access to the entire PCB, including replaceable RAM and SSD.
This is a real fucking issue. At some point we are going to have to force them both to allow ANY legal app or we have a real censorship problem. Google and Apple should NOT be gatekeepers of 'inappropriate'.

Is the source code available? Then its forkable.
There is no debate. No backdoors. Anyone saying otherwise should be ignored as noise.

Because you simply cant buy PR like this. https://upload.wikimedia.org/w... Absolutely spectacular.
Every single OS should be able to let the user lie to apps, It should be a default function of all pocket computers.
And ads. Oh and its owned by Microsoft
No one should be running a facebook executable on their device, its straight up spyware/malware.
Dont defend Razer here, they are shitbags.

SO can i. I have a freezer full of prepared meals i made from scratch, all in sealed bags ready to drop in boiling water.. I still order delivery.....
No, its not, stop perpetuating this lie.
Yeah, i looked it up while waiting. I played the odds and lost, my bad.
Can you post a link to the source code? no? then its not the gold standard.
You IGNORE the morons, not dumb it down.

If they want continued copyright protection for it, yes. Copyright is a social bargain, it was never intended to let creators remove works.

You should always backup your data to sneakernet. Cloud is shit, dont rely on it. Its your data, be responsible for it.

The salient point is 'fixed income',
