Because the Kindle DRM is licensed in such a way that you're not allowed to ship a reader that reads both Amazon encrypted ebooks and those in a different DRM format (such as Adobe DRM encrypted epubs)

The magnetic disk invented by IBM in the early 1950s contained 100 concentric tracks on each side. Each track stored 500 alphanumeric characters, yielding a total storage capacity of 5 million characters
Sure, whatever. There is still plenty of analog film available. Both slide film and negative film. Sure, Fuji Velvia (which uses ordinary E-6 process) may not keep for 80 years, but these days it is mostly scanned to digital within days of processing.
And frankly, there isn't an old Kodachrome slide in existence that doesn't have a blue or magenta color cast.
It was great while it lasted, but photography has moved on. Analog has turned into a niche product, so there isn't a sane reason to keep yet another process alive for the handful of enthusiasts that still use it.
What legal limbo? It is operating fully within the law here in the EU. Just because a couple of politicians on the other side of the pond have been braying their heads off doesn't create a legal limbo.

Or are we turning into a second boomer generation? Spoilt slackers catered to by marketing from the cradle to the grave to the detriment of others. Yuck!

I went to the site to find out what geomagic squares are, but by the time I reached the end of the summary I completely lost interest.
That's one way to keep the riff-raff out.
You can't have clean and uncluttered without whitespace, but yeah it looks much better. Less boxy than the old one.
Stalin killed millions.
Let's give him full credit. He was a world class asshole.
Acetylene tanks have been known to turn into rockets. Usually when in a fire or if the tip over and the regulator on top breaks off.

Whoa
If you then ask them how many text / email / IM / blog / etc., nearly everyone will answer in the affirmative
-Billy, how many texts do you send each day?
-Absolutely!
I can't wait for Apple to finish the job and include an mp3 and video player in the mouse. And maybe perhaps a phone...
You've heard of geoblocking, right?

There is no (more) kneading because the Moon is tide-locked to the Earth. Any deformity is permanently fixed in place.
Suicide bomber eh?
Sounds like a terrorist to me!
Something smells fishy about this. I suspect fowl play!

Greetings from the photo lab.
I'm merely questioning the wisdom of putting solar panels where the sun don't shine.
Economics is more like astrology. It cribs concepts from it's hard-science brother (econometrics and astronomy respectively) but it's mostly woo-woo.
Sure. because they would make all their cars in China.
