Are you deliberately being stupid? Not all desktops have wireless, but I'd wager most of them are connected to a wireless router. Especially if the owner has a smartphone. So they don't need wireless.
It sounds good. I would really like such a system. But it all depends one that one thing: "more than enough processing power". That is not going to happen. Sure, there is Moores law, but programs just keep on using whatever power is available. Also, I would imagine MS fighting such a movement with tooth and nail, as they would lose one of their lock-ins; Almost all hardware has a windows driver, but if you want to run Linux, you lose a lot of hardware options.
If the clerk heard that the costumer is intending to send the ipad to Iran, wouldn't that make the clerk an accomplice? Obviously the clerk can't produce any proof, since the crime hasn't been committed yet.
Source? The Rockstar link uses the wording "permanently banished", but doesn't specify "banished from game" or "banished from normal servers". (I haven't read the comments on the rockstar link).
Why should that same money be taxed yet again at the corporate level ? Does the Finnish gov't do anything of value with those taxes ? Mine does not (Canada).
Depends what you consider value. Some things that might be worth the extra tax rate: Infrastructure, public healthcare, well educated workforce.
A thought occurs: If the prices of sms were extremely cheap (about $ 0.001), would the increased sms usage eat into voice usage to the point where some of the US capacity issues disappeared?
On top of that range of dominant services, there is far more potential for Google to use leverage from an existing dominant service to further its efforts artificially in another market, with the on-line advertising where it makes its real money being a prime example.
There is potential for leverage, but MS has actually been convicted for using a leverage. How that leaves them in the same league, I fail to see.
And in those same places someone actually buys crap with short warranties. Demand a better warranty and you will get it. Pee your pants and you'll get wet.
What ToS? I'm pretty sure you can walk into an Apple shop, wave around some cash, and the salesman would be happy to let you buy anything without demanding a signature.
I agree that price controls are the work of the devil. I do not agree that a law on rounding is in itself a price control. And I do not agree that phasing out the penny will lead to prices increases, on average. If you make the 10-cent the smallest denomination, the 97-cent items will cost you $1, leaving you 3c short. But buy two 97c items, and you will leave the store with 4c "extra". Buy a lot of stuff, and the result quickly approaches random. Even now, there is rounding. You could make a 1/10c coin. Or a 1/2c. It would give more accurate pricing. Most people would agree that it would be more trouble than it's worth. The penny is going the same way, too.

the "detect sleeping" is not the interesting part here...

But the need for 20 brands of me-too laptops, tablets, and convertibles is low.
Yet MS insists on making a tablet?

Everybody wins
Your analogy fails when the things you mention is not evidence.
Maybe you should lay off that medication. They seem to really mess you up.

Sorry, but not enough people joined the appropriate Facebook group. I think it's because people didn't invite enough of their friends.

Because it is not something that could be easily abused at all!
Are you talking about the Facebook Like system?

A browser that can't/won't download an .exe is a poor way of implementing security.

Fine way to prove a point
It's a guideline, not a law.
That doesn't mean he wasn't busy looking at her.
Ignoring the other problems with keyless ignition, why do they change the interface from "turning a switch" to "pressing a switch"?
You are correct, sir. However, it's not like there is any hard science behind choosing 15 instead of 18 (or 16, 17 or 78).

Point me again to where it's in the merchants favour. He can set his prices how he wants and I can spend my money where I want
