    Steve Jobs would not be an evil mastermind who sat in a chair and stroked a pet. He'd be the kind who flew through the air, blowing stuff up with lasers coming out of his nostrils, but not letting anyone know because of the distortion field.

    If anything, he'd be more like Zod. And people would be told to kneel before him, not bow.

    I mean hey, he even looks like Zod!

    I predict two things:

    As a letter:

    "Dear Business Owner,

    I noticed that you have started to advertise through my ISPs Zip+4 locality based advertising system. Unfortunately, I believe that this system is intrusive and an infringement not only on my right to privacy and anonymity, but also encroaches on the data allowance I pay for which is already prohibitively capped by my ISP.

    Thanks to the government allowing the ISP a monopoly of the "last mile" of the connection, I cannot switch my ISP to one not offering this intrusive advertising scheme. I can, however, refuse to offer my business to those who make use of it.

    Sincerely,

    A lost customer."

    Many organised crime syndicates frowns upon assisting the authorities in any way.

    By "frowns upon", I mean "will kill you if you're found doing it. In an unpleasant way."

  11. Re:Just a thought on For-Profit, Illegal Movie Download Sites Threaten MPAA · · Score: 1

    Really? I just avoided anything linked with Sony.

    I don't own a PS3, I won't buy Blu-Ray movies, I don't listen to music on a Sony label (I downloaded 10,000 Days and mailed a cheque for the RRP to the Merkin Vinyards. It was never cashed.)

    I'm kind of irritated that InFamous is PS3 only, but hey; I guess they can afford to lose my business, but I've no other way of showing my distaste. Sucks to be an informed consumer.

  12. Re:Reminds Me of AllOfMP3 on For-Profit, Illegal Movie Download Sites Threaten MPAA · · Score: 1

    There are teams of monkeys throwing faeces at each other around the clock which look less insane than some of the things the RIAA / MPAA have done. Turning down money from a hugely successful music distribution service because it wasn't enough money by their pricing model is one of the greater idiocies... More like a monkey throwing faeces in the air onto his own head in order to not have to share his faeces with anyone else.

    Firstly, will this bring about any (if present) early termination clause in contracts as a "significant change in terms?"

    Secondly, as this is Hobson's Choice (Accept or lose access to the App Store) will it fall foul of unfair terms in consumer contract legislation?

  20. Re:The iPhone and finally walk and chew gum! on iOS 4 Releases Today · · Score: 1

    Not my point at all.

    These are things a device I owned did in 2004. What my WinMobile device can do now is more than that, and more than the iPhone (which has just caught up with 2004). I also had sat-nav, mobile games, stupid sound apps... The only thing the iPhone has which is better than my Himalaya is a music player and a faster processor. However, the Himalaya allowed removable storage access to the SD card, and installation of codecs for other media sources, so maybe it was even a better media player.

    When Dante wrote the Divine Comedy, his editor got a bit concerned about a particular section of the work. In fact, he outright stated that it would have to be removed for fear of public hysteria.

    In the Eighth Circle of Hell, you're forced to watch Steve Balmer throw chair after chair at a sack of puppies while listening to Tay Zonday's "Chocolate Rain" on repeat, and it's saved especially for people like YOU.
