Cycling down you would expect to have a limit - "don't go under what I paid for the book + X%", but making an upper limit isn't so important.
Yes I said their were a few models under which charging a bit over the competitors makes sense, but I wasn't going to bother describing any given the article already describes a few.
There's no point to providing an pretty interface to historic data if that historic data it just a cache that should only comtain the last 25 seconds of data, or the last 3 hours of data.
It's not a description of a temporary cache, it's a description of a creating and using a data source for location information.
of course just because you have a patent/patenf application doesn't mean you are doing that in everything you make that shares some vague characteristics with it.
Please explain how the following claim would have any utility at all if it is supposed to be just a cache:
10. The method of claim 9, further comprising: querying the database for at least a portion of the location history data; retrieving network information from the database that is responsive to the query; translating the network information into position coordinates; displaying a map view; and displaying markers on the map view as a timeline according to the position coordinates, the markers indicating the location history of the location aware device for the time span..
Except it isn't just that hald, if's also "if my competitior lowers their prices, I need to lower mine".
When one half of the loop is setting there price to be *higher* than the competitor you have the potential for some strange feedback loops - it's a wierd pricing scheme (though it can make sense under a few models).
One vendor has the usual approach approach that economics expects: undercut my competitors price by a small amount.
But the other vendor has the strange: charge more than my competitor.
And since the charge more has a higher percentage difference than the charge less, the prices cycle up. if the charge less guy had a larger percentage difference then the prices would cycle down.
But we already have the required government regulation, in the form of contract laws and the court system to oversee them.
There's no monopoly issue here, such as there is with say cable TV or EM spectrum.
There's no personal safety issue here, such as there is with food and drugs.
There's no necessity for living here, such as there is with electric/gas and water.
If you want some guarantee that they destroy your data when you are no longer a customer then use one that proivdes that guarantee. At my place of work we have language in out contract with our dedicated server provider about what they must do with hard drives that we have used and so on - and yes that means we negotiated with them for a price and likely paid more than if we didn't want that requirement placed on them.
So who gives a shit if it is palatable. I'm pretty sure chemo therapy meds aren't very palatable either. Heck, cough syrup is not what I would call tasty.
The deliver my netflix DVDs back and forth. My rent payments. And so on.
Why not my email too?
Obviously things I want to hide from the government aren't going to go to or from such an email. Just like I probably wouldn't send my kidnap ransom demands via registered mail.
Because that's what their contracts likely say, and it doesn't matter if no one would bother if the contract says "you must do X", then you have to do X if you want to do whatever the contract is giving you the rights to.
And because of that stupid idea, people get shot in the head who have done nothing other than gamble on some football games. Shot in the head while standing peacefully outside obeying directions mind you.
That policy will cause more people to be injured and killed than it prevents. It's stupid. Though I guess it does increase the level of fear of the police the populace has which makes police work easier.
Which is also why you don't let the kids run across the lawn right? After all nobody got sued for the kid injuring themselves by not running through their yard.
And note, that in this case if the guy did not have the open wifi the guy next door would be (allegedly) watching all the child porn he downloaded elsewhere while gazing at the guys kids out the window. Instead of being arrested and charged.
My wifi access point is still as wide open as it was yesterday.
Because putting them in an American prison would being NIMBY like you have never seen...
Plus of course the Republicans (just as the Democrats would if a Republican President did so) ranting all over the media about how Obama is bringing known terrorists into America. Plus of course ranting about how they'll get released on parole next month. And just wait until a judge lets one go because he applies normal evidence rules and the constitution.
Do you have any stats to back any of that up at all?
And every time their overwhelming force stopped someone from shoting back has to be balanced against all their time their overwhelming force provoced the shotting back (men in black kick down your door brandishing weapons - shooting at them is perfectly reasonable behaviour for lots of people who are not criminals - it's simple self defense). And all the times the police started shooting for no reason. Remembering that the death of an innocent civilian is worse than the death of a police officer given the police officer knowlingly signed up for the job.
My wifi has no password. Which is completely intentional - why would I not want to share with my neighbors?
Well I guess idiot police raiding my house and pointing guns at me for no reason might be a reason, seems a pretty unlikely event though given the sheer the number open wifi access points and this one case.
Downloading child pornography doesn't seem to be a violent crime to me. Why did they need to send a SWAT style raid rather than knocking on the door with a warrant? Did the guy have a history of violent crime?
For suspects of non-violent crimes (and downloading/viewing child pornography is not more violent than downloading/viewing videos of an assault - that the production of the pornography involves violence is irrelevant) and even for convicted non-violent criminals "kicck the door down and point guns at everyone" raids are only going to increase the risk of death and injury.
There's no way they pick a holiday weekend and a week with a reasonably big name release in it to take it down on purpose. Well I guess they have done a bunch of stupid things in the past, so maybe that's not so certain.
I said they aren't Walmart that was supposed to indicate that Walmart is different and hence comparing it with some random other online grocery service is just silly.
http://shop.countdown.co.nz/ doesn't deliver to everywhere in NZ either so the "took them long enough" snipe is just stupid. Though there are more people in the service area of say Fresh Direct then there are people in New Zealand...

That's irrelevant since being tracked isn't the issue. The issue is having some data available to a particular type of retrieval.
But I guess temporary blips in data make for lots of article writing.
Everyone.
Do you ignore first 16 amendments as well?
Or to not use a cell phone that does that. but that's made difficult when it's done without telling you...
But how is there any utility with providing that for a cache that might have been deleted 2 minutes ago?

Aggresive raids get people killed - both the people being raided (e.g. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/01/26/AR2006012602136.html) and the police doing the raid (e.g. http://amarillo.com/stories/112201/tex_firedfor.shtml - note that was a raid of someone who owned a lot of guns, but the police did manage to fire 369 shots killing one of their own while the guy being raided did not touch a gun let alone fire a single shot).
For suspects of non-violent crimes (and downloading/viewing child pornography is not more violent than downloading/viewing videos of an assault - that the production of the pornography involves violence is irrelevant) and even for convicted non-violent criminals "kicck the door down and point guns at everyone" raids are only going to increase the risk of death and injury.
