The Simpsons said it best. In an episode where Homer wins a Grammy, he takes one look at it, sees it's a Grammy and throws it out the window. Then, out the window, we hear a voice yelling "Hey, don't throw your trash out here!"
Actually, he takes it back to his hotel room where he tries to pawn it off as a tip substitute to his hotel attendant. The guy replies "Oh boy, an award statue! Oh, it's only a Grammy." and tosses it down the balcony. The rest of the quote is accurate.
There's people like that everywhere. Idiots who tell you that you should go scream at your boss and demand more money and a promotion. They'll be nowhere near you to help and will deny giving you the idea when asked, of course. The smart thing to do is to pick your fights carefully, and GeoHotz is that smart, clearly.
Blu-Ray is not any easier even on windows. Because of a monetary dispute with Sony, Microsoft refuses to put the needed codecs as a native Windows file resulting in a brand new computer with a Blu-Ray drive that refuses to use BR discs. The answer seems obvious, install the codecs... not so fast, bucko. It's nowhere near as easy as it sounds. It took us months here at technical support to find a way to reliably install those even with multiple different softwares "designed" to do this who still wouldn't run the damned things. Big money disputes among technology giants always means giant headaches for small consumers.
For one part because I've been looking forward to it, and even more so because the company respects me enough as a customer to not try and bog down my system with crapware. Such a perspective deserves to be rewarded with high sales numbers to prove a point to the gaming industry.
There was nothing scientific and any idiot knows that because it has The Sun written across the top in big letters.
If it had been done by the Weekly World News instead of The Sun, the test subject would have been Bat Boy and the conclusion would have been that the 3DS helps Satan in escaping hell to take over South America or somesuch. And it would have been an hilarious read.
This study requires a double blind where half the participants are given a 3DS with Street Fighter 4 and the other half a dummy store demo with no battery charge to account for the placebo effect.
Give it a few more years and the world's enforcement on music policies will make reality look like the ill-fated Aerosmith arcade shooter Revolution X where faceless goons with guns are everywhere trying to bust people for owning music.
I'm eagerly awaiting the day when someone patents "the process of breaking down organic substances through digestive acids to facilitate nutrition absorbtion" in order to try and shut down all grocery stores and restaurants for infringing on his food-eating patent.
Google's driverless car could save more than 1 million deaths per year
What curious wording. Most safety inventions would strive to "save more tan a million lives, but this one wants to save more than a million deaths. I guess now you can just use any words in a sentence and expect people to figure out what you intended.
The police, upon reconstructing the accident scene, came to the conclusion that the victim narrowly avoided arriving home safely when he followed his GPS instructions to drive onto the bridge that was closed for construction and fell into the river.
"But first let's kill all the lawyers" was a quote from an man of evil slant dreaming of his ability to remove his impediments to power. Just so no one walks away from this thinking that "But first let's kill all the lawyers" was stated as a GOOD idea.
Trust the RIAA/MPAA to take a clearly evil plan that's rotten to the core and make this a viable and sensible survival strategy in a world where corporate entities can randomly pick individual citizens and ruin their lives based on hearsay and shoddy logic.

Just don't eat the bread in your main plate to balance out your caloric intake.
You don't care much about that itchy rash on your leg when your face is melting off.

Will the device refuse to run if it's not able to connect to the ad server?

Only buys things you can actually OWN. Everything else can go to hell.
ISP, in addition to Internet Service Provider, has come to mean Infinite Supply of Porn. I would call this a grand success!
You ever seen a picture of a perfectly executed Golden Zamboni? It's spectacular.
I'm pretty sure that this, combined with the "Tim Horton Double-Double", is what got this policy enacted in the first place.
They're not working against american citizens. They just want to keep out us evil canadians with our filthy hard drives full of curling-themed porn!

I, for one, welcome our new LEGO overlords!
Any time a friend sends me a whisper that reads: wwwwssdadsws111112wwwwww
How something that started as a trick to get around online profanity filters is on the verge of receiving official academic recognition?
Will my old Fastload cartridge increase the hard drive data transfer speed?
Who steals fiber optics? There's no scavenger resale market for that.
He's a liberal irony-minded judge. They fight crime!
Though they may not be scientists, they certainly apply the scientific methodology.

That is nearly the definition of a false dichotomy.
Your choices are not 1) download a movie or 2) murder a family while intoxicated. There must be something else that you can do.
If that movie you downloaded was a romantic comedy from the last 5 years, then the latter is an inevitable consequence of the former.
