    Let's just say, you'd be surprised and the difference between how much you thought you were not on facebook compared to how much you are.

    "It ain't broke so don't fix it." is a good rule to live by in a production environment. In development/in innovation you have to look at everything and think, "can it be better?"

    Facebook don't care. This graph search has already inferred and create a profile with most all the important information about you. And by not signing up you have let them just decide it was all true without your influence.

    ...and the more and more facebook doesn't care as they know everything about you through inference from others you know anyway.

    Not me because I don't want to be put on a list of "hiding something because they don't use facebook like everyone else." Instead I have a script that finds the most common likes that average people click and it automatically likes them by me as well. My profile fits pretty much right in the middle.

    They can do all the 3d printing they want. I just wont guarantee any kind of replacement parts supplied by me. Typically I do give them out if someone needs them, (it is a hobby anyway) but if I was required by law to provide parts for any time after my small production runs I would no longer do them at all. Often times the molds don't hold out past a single production run.

    Sorry in my niche, there wont be anyone else who can/will. It's get stuff from me or effectively not at all. In stead of the $150 that I sell it for I'm sure you could go to a manufacturer and have the dies made and molds cast and begin building the parts but it'll be close to $15k minimum by the time you're done.

    I have not been required to upgrade a single Apple product. I just no longer buy any of their well advertised and known lockin products any more.

    As a very small time hobbyist manufacture (3-10 items a month sold typically on ebay) I would see this as crippling and would stop bothering to build my product at all. Thus thrusting the few customers I have into not having it at all. I'm sure they would thank you for your regulation.

    Wasn't there a show in talks of doing blue screen like setup for items that would be name brand, then allow digitally altering them for every rerun showing? This week the main character drinks a coke, the next week a pepsi depending on which one wants to sponsor it.
