And imagine: If you would take it literally how that would work with other stuff that has a similar regulation once it is uploaded? Who owns the rights to distribute flickr images then? Flickr, me or Google? Or all? If so, what is a right worth then?
I can only imagine that Google copied their general EULA without thinking how it applies to browser and content submitted through it.
What ex0a means is that vendors can sell replacements once you lose the original charger. They could not do that if you could simply replace the lost charger by one for another gizmo.
However: Has anyone ever thought about the transformer that is connected with the charger? Not all devices need the same voltage (or whatever is transformed). I think that is the main reason for the multitude of chargers. However, ex0a's (well hidden) argument still applies to many similar areas.
You misunderstood: I meant "prejudged as a person by stereotypes based on historic events". THAT is what the Simpsons, Jon Stewart and actually a few German comedians make their jokes about.
But suppose you met me in person and I told you I am a German. Would you really jump to the conclusion that I am one of those types comedians make fun of? Or would you want me to jump to the conclusion that you must be a conservative christian gun-lover, because you are from the US (You are from the US, right?). And that's not even a historic stereotype.
See, you would not like it. And for the same reason I would not and for the same reason I think no one should call the Tibetans theocratic or undemocratic or inhuman before there is any evidence to support that.
Not to justify what the Chinese government does and not to say that a new Tibetan government could be a democratic one adhering to human rights, but the previous leadership in Tibet indeed was more than just a tad theocratic and therefore not democratic at all. However, Wikipedia will tell you that it is debated how bad the caste system really was.
Still, as I said, that is besides the point since it was before 1950. And as a German I'd like to say: I would not want to be judged by my country's history pre 1950 either.:-S

Yep, thought so too. Anyone thinking Lucas Wolenczak or Darwin here?

What about printing the photos? The only device you need then is people's eyes.

"What does this mean for corporate users of Apple for whom switching costs are high? Can Apple continue innovating in Job's absence?"
Is this what it looks like when Linux fanboys start using FUD?
(Before you start CAPS-LOCKING at me: I use Linux as well, but I just think it's unfair.)
