Now I feel you are willfully being ignorant. I said nothing about central network storage and already gave good reasons why isolation on a phone is awkward.
If I want several music players, the only way for me to load one library that they can all share is for me to use itunes. So yes, I am forced to use iTunes. Otherwise I must use some flaky little embedded webserver so I can upload my library individually to each app one by one with some little crappy webconsole.
These are hoops I don't want to jump through. My android phone works like a flash drive, which is what makes sense for a portable storage device.
..or maybe I should have used fucking iTunes. I could have watched it start up, find my phone, download everything on my phone, upload everything from my computer, sync it with anything I had before, and make that the ONLY IOS DEVICE I can ever plug into my computer because heaven forbid, should I ever want to plug in my brother-in-law or business partner's phone and just get something off of it. I could go on but I'm not going to.
That's exactly what this thread is about. As a consumer, if I don't like Apple then buying Android is my way to 'rise up'. See how it's working out for me?
It's probably skewed because the dude was entering movies manually for a lot of years and a lot of good old movies got entered that people remember fondly. I find it really interesting that you say that actually because if you look through the movies released on dvd in the last 6 months (ie something to actually watch today) you'll be hard pressed to find anything over a 7.
You're right, there is a murky territory in the middle though I would say it is narrower; something like 5.5-6.5. but that's where the type of movie comes into play more. No matter what you do, your personal taste is going to come into play. You're still more likely to like a 7.7 over a 6.2.
Recently I tested several media players on an iphone. I had to upload my library three times because each media player was a tiny compartment of it's own. It would have been so much easier to just plug in a usb cable, upload once, and test the three media players with it.
Apple forces me to buy an Android phone by being the only competitor and deciding to lock me into their ecosystem if I use them. Not to mention I still haven't forgiven them for not simply allowing me to access a common filesystem.
I go by the IMDB rating when I'm deciding on what movie to watch. I have found over time that I agree with it more often then not. It's not that I won't watch a movie if it's below a 7 but I try to find something over that is in a genre I want to see. Most movies below a 5 really do stink and movies over 7.5 are usually very good as long as it is the right genre.
They have more money than the UK, Canada, and Ireland all together, sitting in a BANK ACCOUNT. A company that can do that is big enough already and feels no need to grow.
Capitalism was never meant to be a vehicle for companies to become this big and powerful. Government intervention does that. Capitalism actually requires companies to find it too hard to continue and break up before they get that big. Of course this doesn't work for any corporate board member or executive, so they get all the protection they ask for.
The problem is that they are determined to make it work with the technology we have. They think they can write a set of rules for driving in the real world. I don't think they really believe a ruleset will handle everything, but they are willing to put the onus on the owner of the car for the rest.
You're missing the point. The point is that humans are unable take over properly in all the scenarios that this type of technology creates. Using it means that they must trust it, but trusting it will get you into an accident. It doesn't really matter what Tesla advertises it as, the fact that they create it and endorse it is enough.
If you use a service that tracks everything, you have to assume people will look at it. I mean, why would the company care about keeping your information completely private?
Apple removed the useful headphone jack and yet other companies follow suit. The keyboard may be the next victim. It's just as easy to ignore why people need a keyboard as it is to ignore people who want a single standard headphone for everything.

No fucking thanks.

Yeah it has to be a very special movie to get me out to the theater. I think the last movies I went out for were the Lord of the Ring movies.
How does Apple "lock you into their ecosystem" any more than Android locks you into their ecosystem?
By making iTunes the only legitimate way to interact with the phone.
Recently I tested several media players on an iphone. I had to upload my library three times because each media player was a tiny compartment of it's own. It would have been so much easier to just plug in a usb cable, upload once, and test the three media players with it.
People who care about infosec do everything security sensitive on a fully patched laptop.

By money I mean the size of the entire economy.

If a CEO made $500,000 a year instead of $30 million, I call that successful enough.

Yes because otherwise marketing specialists are struggling out there, I'm sure.

So.. the American movie industry needs to control costs just like any other company in the private sector? Oh noes!

What you should be patenting is a flying police car.
You don't think a criminal would see the benefit of using a manual car for the 'getaway'? Let's hope the police cars are manual too.

Voice controls have a long way to go before they match a touch screen or keyboard.
If you want to call it a keyboard. It's not optimized for a lot of touch-typing. But then I guess macbook keyboards aren't really that either.
