Don't you get that there won't ever again be a service pack?
Now it's just an endless stream of never-ending down-your-throat install-without-asking updates?
Get used to it. Or install Linux, I for one did.
This just serves to remind everyone that this is how people think of copyrights, even those that benefit from them.
Simple, intuitive actions will always win over artificial, constrained rules, even for the rule makers.
Just take a moment to think about how many of Warner's own employees are probably doing the same?
Am I supposed to be impressed by "a 4-line solution to a traveling salesman tour" when that 4 line solution calls a library function called "FindShortestTour()"?
Do you count all the lines of code behind methods in other languages?
Maybe you only write machine language...
So maybe this is just higher-level language, if you will, with a greater level of abstraction than we are used to.
I for one don't limit my imagination by what others have done before.
Any programmable device (like the iPhone) is open to anyone's imagination to tinkering. The sky (or the hardware) is the limit, and is thinking like ends up making new hardware more and more limited.
I'm sad to see that most people will actually be glad to pay more for a less functional device in order to 'keep it simple', while ignoring themselves as responsible for the most of the 'confusion' going on.
You simply can't expect new technologies to adapt to you, you must adapt to them if you're ever to take advantage of them. People don't listen to music nowadays the same way we used to listen to vinyl records before. Things change, and if you don't invest at least some time and attention on what's going on, then you end up blaming the wrong people for your limitations.

Yes, and we'll all be driving flying cars and there will be no more world hunger. Like most things too good to be true, don't count on it...
"its inventors were granted" Inventors. Yeah, right!

English is not my native language, but isn't this wrong? Shouldn't it be 'connection' instead of 'connectivity'?

I'm amazed no one made a remark about "another world"... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Another_World_(video_game)
That is such a narrow-minded way to look at it.
