...allowing users to share content between any Marlin-enabled device in the home rather than on specific machines. "It works in a way that doesn't hold consumers hostage,"
So long as Marlin stays in business, and every device you want your music on is a Marlin device. So, if Marlin goes under and your computer crashes, you're out of luck?
...or there's no profit to be made in something thats more expensive and longer than driving?
From Indianapolis to Chicago, it'd cost me anywhere from $10-20 to take the train. I'd also have to be on the train at 5:30 in the morning. The train takes _at least_ 4 hours.
Or I can drive to Chicago, which takes at least an hour less, for only $10 more (185 miles at 25 miles per gallon, at roughly $4/gallon) and I can leave at my leisure.
Amtrak simply does not have the infrastructure for such an endeavor. A good chunk of Amtrak's routes are owned by freight companies; Amtrak simply pays to use them. So unless you're willing to assume that cost as the passenger to lay thousands of miles of private track, that's not going to happen since that cost would probably make ticket prices compete with airline prices, but to what benefit? Flying would still be faster. The only thing you would save is the hassle of airline security (which is a good enough reason for me, to be honest).
The pillar that the turbine is mounted to doesn't take up that much room. I imagine a company would pay a farmer to give them a small chunk (probably 0.01 acres) of land for a turbine.
If low-altitude (0-500ft~) sky were prime real-estate then we'd have problems, but luckily no one really wants to build anything there.
Eric Levin, the executive vice president of Techno Source, suggests that KMS take a middle path: license its software to third-party companies and add features to promote community building.
I, personally, hate it when this occurs. In my experience these companies never seem to get it right and usually end up tarnishing the entire brand. I hate to be so black-and-white, but the mix of company policies could just... be awful. If they licensed an add-on to a company who hired crap programmers that could tarnish the entire line.
Maybe I'm just bitter because then it seems like a game of "monkey in the middle" and they're tossing the code around and won't let me have it. Jerks.
The article never stated if the research was original or not. Original research in such an article wouldn't last long before a zealous user plasters it with {{fact}} anyway.
This happens every single time Facebook debuts a new feature. X amount of people go completely bonkers. A few weeks, maybe months, later everyone goes back to not caring.
I keep telling myself a wiki would be useful in most businesses, but getting people to learn a foreign formatting syntax isn't exactly an easy thing to do in some cases.
I agree with the idea of having to go through menus to do rudimentary tasks. Mercedes tried this on the S-Class... check out this fellow trying to turn on his air conditioner: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhKvE5v4NvI
I don't know about anyone else, but one of the most useful features on my iPod (and I assume iPhone) is the shiny chrome backing. It's an iPod, it's a phone, an internet communications device, and a mirror!
I too have disabled the password manager. I set Firefox to forget everything I entered into a form when I exit after I found my social security number sitting inside the programs files.

BeOS ?? They should be using Haiku!

How much fuel would be lost overcoming air resistance vs. the fuel gained from less weight?

Probably not the best place to mention McCain, considering he opposes network neutrality

Everything was a phone or computer... then that thing. Asia can keep that one.
