Welcome to the state of copyright law around the world. You (and the submitter) may think that Apple is being stupid, but they're complying with the legal framework in which they operate. Whether these laws should change is another story. And even if they do change to better reflect the networked world we live in, it won't happen overnight.
O RLY?
So why does Google give a big FUCK YOU to book publishers or MIAA/MPAA in youtube?
Apple does as it does not because of copyright; they have the clout to fight that shit; they just don't want to do it while they can fuck their customers instead.
YES I AM BRAZILIAN INFERIOR HUMAN BEING and I had one account with a US address and an itunes card. Shit, I fucking said yes to the EULA or SLA when prompted. GOD DAMN YOU, APPLE! Now I can get no new apps for my iPhone. Oh well, just one more thing: GOD DAMN YOU APPLE! I'm just switching to Android as soon as it's available here in Banana Republics.

Braziian dude here. One court ordered youtube down because of some video concerning local celebrity "cicarelli", an acress, doing something interesting under the waters in a beach in Spain. Google disregarded everything but the court order, and soon the video, though taken down, was up again on the nets remixes.
Brazilian justice--, soup opera's actress--, & Google youtube++, just as things should be.
because 5 is thee right answer, not 10, as most humans give, incorrectly. We need to understand how we process information before we have intelligent machines, or else theyll be forever and ever as brittle as they are now.
A machine does not have to reproduce the mechanisms of the human mind in order to display intelligence; it has to emulate the performance. If the inputs are similar and the outputs are similar what happens in the middle is unimportant.
A ball and a bat cost 110. The bat costs 100 more than the ball. How much is that ball? 10, right? Do you think computers can solve this?
There is this general faulty reasoning that _understanding is the property of a representation_. That's just wrong. Just as temperature is not a property of molecules, understanding is not a property of a representation. It is a property of a process. In order to display the same "intelligent" behavior we do, machines have to go through the same process. Otherwise the process diverges. Any machine today would respond the ball costs $5; ask 10 MIT students and 9 will respond the ball costs $10.
It's the old "Limits To Growth" bullshit back again.
Did you actually read it? I guess not. There are no predictions in the book whatsoever, the book has a 100 year timeline and a bunch of possible scenarios. Scenario #2 is unfolding, with exponential rise in food consumption, energy consumption, pollution _AS DECADES PASS_. China, if growing at 7% per annum in, say, coal mining, will grow 2^5 its current consumption in 5 decades. THAT IS OF FUCKING GIGANTIC BIBLICAL SHIT PROPORTIONS.
The planet is not infinite. Exponential growth will hit a ceiling, whether you want to believe it or not. Any nerd should know that.
"Welcome, welcome to City 17, you have chosen or been chosen to relocate to one of our finest remaining urban centers. I thought so much of City 17 that I elected to establish my administration here, in the Citadel so thoughtfully provided by our benefactors. I have been proud to call City 17 my home. So whether you are here to stay, or passing through on your way to parts unknown, welcome to City 17.

There are basically three types of AI-peoples: The neverlands, the hype masters, and the hope monks. The neverlands, like Searle, deny that intelligence is a product of information-processing. Searle has made it into a sport the claims that AI will never happen because it does not have the "causal powers of the brain".
Then there are these types, like those reported here. Hypeware at its best. Look, it's alive, it's (F*CKING GASP) becoming self aware, etc hype hype hype ad-nauseum. But look at its innards _very_ closely, and it's pretty empty in there.
There are so many pitfalls involved that it's impossible to mention all faulty premises involved in each project. But just for starters, consider this: when we program a machine to deal with the number 2, it usually goes into binary form 10 and there it stays, ready for manipulation. But how plausible is this psychologically? NOT AT ALL! When _we think_ of a "2", hordes of disparate, subliminar images come to mind, such as the gestalt of the digit, the sound of it, the fact that it's a prime (if you're math inclined), a couple (if you're a therapist), even-ness, odd-ness, the words "two" "too", and a huge number of semi-visible mental imagery.
Whenever you see a hyped AI project, just consider how it deals with the numeral 2. Most likely it's a _fake_. The process through which it goes through is not psychologically plausible. Which means that it will fail to understand human concepts.
Some projects with machine learning actually make it a habit of finding _meaning_ in highly correlated words (i.e., words that tend to occur together in documents). That is a _joke_. Meaning NEVER comes from correlation. If it did, "lawyer" and "telephone" would have much more to do than "lawyer" and "vampire", or "politician" and "scumbag".
Sorry for the rent, but I work hard to understand fucking hard issues and to see these folks being slashdotted with nothing to show for just begs for a rant. If you want to see really serious research, take a look a Douglas Hofstadter's "Fluid Concepts and Creative Analogies" and/or google for Kemp's MIT thesis.
Yeah, it couldn't be because there is a massive economic crisis going on. It's all Linux.
Microsoft is getting beaten down by Apple at the high end and by Linux on the netbook space. Obviously, I don't mean that people are buying linux netbooks. Hold your horses there. But MS's bargaining position has changed because of linux. They could have said in 2002 that netbooks should cost $600, because of the $200 windows copy. But that does not apply anymore. They sell XP for $28-$32. This is a huge relative loss to what they were making.
And at the high end, Apple is all over it. Take a look at bestbuy. It is rare to find a $1000+laptop, Apple notwithstanding. Or take a look at Amazon's best seller list, only to find hordes of netbooks and macbooks, perhaps with a 1 in 20 Vista machine.
To make matters worse (for MS), if these high-end phones and proposed tablets such as the techcrunch one come to life, they won't be using windows. Nothing below $300 can afford windows, even at $32.
Finally, MS's stock price has been walking sideways for years and years and years. They cannot bring the best talent in the basis of money or stock options alone. This is not the year of linux on the desktop. But its presence is being felt in the markets undergoing disruptive innovation, like the netbooks.
Some companies really have an edge of innovation. I would not discard Sun, as the market is doing. I see it more or less like Palm: last month, the market hated it; now the market is all-singing; all-dancing about Palm. This is a good time to invest in Sun, methinks.
Does it copy paste?
Can it run Crysis?
Can it cut cake?
Does it have a physical keyboard?
And the dealbreaker: if I can't run pirated warez, it's crap!

I'll wait for the Apple idea of a NetBook. It will change everything.
Yeah... so if 15million of these have been sold, let's say Apple could have sold at least 1/4 to 1/3 of the market @ $600? That's roughly $2.5Billion.
Glad we're not in a recession, right, my dear Apple benefactors?
we've gone from a) it seems impossible to find other intelligent life to b) it's statistically hard to find other intelligent life
Fixed it for ya.

I don't mean SSD or other disks. I ram sheer giant 64GBs of RAM. (I'm developing a memory-hungry app, by the way).
Some companies really have an edge of innovation. I would not discard Sun, as the market is doing. I see it more or less like Palm: last month, the market hated it; now the market is all-singing; all-dancing about Palm. This is a good time to invest in Sun, methinks.
What use is it to boot from a ramdisk like that? The CPU cannot execute zeroes.
If Apple sells that, they will buy.
I want to get a laptop with 64GB of ram. Price is not an issue. Can you tell me where to find that?
You must be new here. 1. Ninnle??? 2. ??? 3. Profit!
Does it copy paste? Can it run Crysis? Can it cut cake? Does it have a physical keyboard? And the dealbreaker: if I can't run pirated warez, it's crap!
