With this type of tech, pretty soon we will be able to hook them all up to motorised boxes with a single light that can blink once for yes and twice for no.

How DRM Won
·
· Score: 1
Our FTA broadcasters all have a streaming catch-up service. .
The quality of broadcast is comprable to a VHS that has been re-dubbed a few times. If the stream fails/cut out then there is the issue of restarting and rebuffering and refinding the content.
Then there are issues with Flash, meaning I can not watch it on all of my devices (without much messing around)
And to think, I could get a torrented file much quicker, easier and with less compatibility issues. I can even use that on my devices when there is no internet connection availble - but that would be illegal.
I think they need to go the You Porn model where you can choose to stream, or download.
Not Worried about the piracy as I would buy games. . But if I could build a compatible P.C unencumbered by Sonys Restrictions and add other BSD/Linux software to the box, I would have a very happy lounge.
To be fair, there's also nothing stopping Sony from changing anything and everything about their PS4 software at any point. And Sony does have a track record to create suspicion that they might.
This is why I have no interest or intention around the next generation of consoles.
Maybe in time, good business practices can change my mind.
I remember locally we had the supermarkets doing "Apples for the Schools" promotions, where you were encouraged to take your supermarket receipt to the school who would then use these almost as arcade tokens to trade in for Apple P.C.s
I have a PS3, It was never online, and then I bought some new games for it that required me to update the system to play. . The problem is that if you want to keep using the console Sony has made it that you have to update it, or else you will stuck with launch titles for the consoles life.
While there may not be any imediate or obvious benefit for you (or anyone) at present. Every bit of knowledge and understanding that we can gather about ourselves, and our planet is beneficial.
Lotus 1 was blown away by 2. I liked Lotus 3 because of the options and the "Im Going so fast, I look like I am going backwards".. and then there was the turpentine sub game:)

My 1st thoughts were to the Amiga.
. . and while this news makes me hopeful, as an Amigain, I have learned not to get disappointed :)
Better late than never..... but better never late.

There is no sanctuary

Actually,
I have been invited to less and less parties as I have begun to use Slahdot more and more. A study needs to be commissioned.
Oh please do not think that I am concerned about this industry. .
I cannot see the big scent manufacturers liking this one. .

And their own 80s cartoon series.
I wish I had his buyers guide for the Lamb Korma I just bought for lunch form the staff Cafeteria

Fignuts!
open letters that basically say "Nothing is wrong and we're working to fix it as quickly as possible!"
Thant is my standard email to the teams whose tech I support
To be fair, this is a US centric site, so to be that geographically close is to be commended

But my favourite amiga racing game was Vroom.
Always Notes over outlook. .
I am sure some of the reason is my embedded hatred for all things MS, but you can do some nifty things with the Domino Servers
I am still wating on the Amiga to make a meaningful comeback
Agreed, This is another case of laws set to punish the "Good Man" and will do nothing to curb the behaviour of the habitual drunk driver.
Apple has chosen to migrate to an all iOS world slowly, subtly. Give them time, it's in the grand plan.
They have a Mac App Store but no one is required to use it,
...Yet
Could apple now be trying to make people scared to purchase Android devices should they be targeted by the TSA as potential terrorists? :)
