" but the channel owners fear that this will disrupt current and future revenue streams and that they need to stop it now."
No, me not watching your shows because they aren't in the format I wish will "disrupt your current and future revenue streams" though.
Well stated. I think the tech is super cool. Not far from where I live there is a town that every single time I drive through it they have a "DUI" check. I'm talking "DUI" checks at 8am on Sunday mornings. These are exactly the types of places where these things will get abused. I could almost bet that every time I drove through there I'd have to "scan". If this becomes too popular, I could see things requiring a "scan" before you can use them (ex- your car requires a "scan" to be able to use it.).
ps - George, I was going to buy killzone 3 in the next couple weeks. You can have the $$ instead and any money from any other games I would be buying until the sony bullshit stops.
Very true. I think I meant to mention the screen size as being the only real difference but I neglected to. Speaking of screen size though, that's almost a problem in itself. I can throw me evo in my pocket and carry it around without too much of a hassle. With a tablet I'm going to be either carrying it in my hand, or carrying it in a bag all the time neither of which is very convenient.
As a side note, I think that was a verbatim quote of what I said when I got my evo lol...
I'm too lazy to write this myself, so I'm just going to cybercheat...

Cheating...
Nearly everything that a "teacher" calls cheating is an accepted practice in the business world. Schools, in the US anyway, are mainly geared toward getting a student involved in some type of business.
Cheating - Looking off someone's work.
Business - Gaining direction.
Cheating - copying.
Business - Using available resources.
Cheating - use of internet.
Business - again, using available resources so you can build on another's success.
Cheating - adjusting grades
Business - Creative accounting.
Cheating - asking a friend for an answer
Business - Collaboration. This person is a team player.
Our educational system is 19th century organization using 19th century ideals. What should we teach today? How about some analysis: Teach not "what is the right answer?" but "Why is this answer right?"
Teach not "what is X?" but "How does X change when Y is introduced?"
Get people to think! You get the idea.

tl;dr

I read your comment as "Google is setting the bar high for other companies to stop being such dicks." I get it now though, pass the drinks.
But those sound recordings played backwards still creep me out...
You owe me a keyboard Sir.

Define suspects.

Dear Sony SUCK MY MOTHERFUCKING DICK You won't be getting one god damn red cent from me now.

I don't think they are "too" expensive. I just don't see why I would buy a tablet that does the same thing my HTC Evo already does...
It does look like it may have been wrote on the back of one of their signs... Still, hardly a reason to feel as though they are in danger.
Ditto....... Sony............FUCK YOU. My ps3 is just for streaming netflix now, suck it.
