Currently, Google's video ads only display a "static opening image" which you must click on to play the ad. A second click brings you to the advertiser's site.
If Google adds video-ads to their sponsored search pages, presumably they will be the same, no?
The speedometer on my Jeep goes up to 100mph. Does that mean that if I get pulled over doing 100mph in a school zone that it's Chrysler's fault and not mine? Did Chrysler take measures to prevent me from speeding in a school zone?
No, Chrysler isn't responsible here, and yes they did take measures to prevent you from speeding. That's what the speedometer is for: it indicates how fast you are going, not how fast you are able to go.
Presumably you are a licensed driver. Therefore you are fully aware of the traffic laws, especially posted speed limits, as well as the consequences for breaking those laws if caught, or worse: cause personal or property damage. As a licensed driver you are instructed, or minimally directed, to use the speedometer as a tool to keep within the posted speed-limits. You are responsible for your speed.
If on the other-hand: the speedometer is faulty, either through defect or malicious design; or speed limits are not clearly marked, again either through defect or malicious design, that is another story. This seems to me to be akin to at least part of Michelle Santangelo's argument.
FTA:the negligence and breaches of the Third-Party Defendants named herein: in the defective design of Sharman Network's program, "Kazaa" which was a dangerous instrumentality in its each and every use as it existed in 2002-2004 and the failure to warn by AOL and Sharman
Yeah and there was a firefox update yesterday, a debian security update the day before for some software, but I can't remember which, I just hit the go button...
I did a fink update for my mini, I think I'll check to see if there is an update for some software that doesn't do auto updates later
