I know this is going to rub a lot of people here the wrong way, but I've always thought that Netflix needs to have some shows that are ad-supported. If they do not do this, I doubt they will be able to secure the licensing rights (or they will cost an arm and a leg) for tv shows as soon as they come out. For most people the appeal of streaming services is the ability to watch what you want, when you want it. If someone wants to watch the latest episode of X show, they are forced to either rely on basic cable, or pirate it.
Even if it is true that they withholding network upgrades for this reason, they would not be "artificially creating demand". They would be "artificially limiting supply".
Just don't buy, or pirate, shit that has it, stick to the many, many other titles and there you go.
Actually these games are the ones that are most desirable to pirate. The pirated (DRM removed) version of these games have added features (ability to play offline) than those who paid for the game will get. It strikes me as ironic that in an effort to discourage piracy, the studios have actually further incentivized it.
Its not just the country: Last month my new headphones came with a warning "California law requires us to inform you that this product has been found to cause cancer". I live in Canada.

The ability to recognize incorrect usage does not imply that one cannot decipher the original intent. Take this present case for example: We were all well aware of what he meant even though we were also aware of his incorrect usage.

Not just "pages", the whole browser locks up. A single tab can bring down the entire browser.

I thought the EU was really adamant about stopping antitrust violations. You'd think this would at least be mentioned.

If any Joe Shmoe can crack an iPhone/Android, it might put public pressure on device manufacturers to close these holes.
"this cost was borne (sic) U.S. government" should read: "this cost was borne (sic) U.S. taxpayers' children"
FTFY... it was simply added to the national debt load you guys will pass on to your children.
...we don't do the same kind of spying they do. Our spying is okay, theirs is evil.

Most people eat meat and dairy. You want to be a vegetarian, fine. Just stop trying to push your lifestyle choices onto others. Also, get off my lawn.

What many people forget is that language is defined by it's usage, if a false usage becomes common enough it enter language regardless of logic.
100 times NO.
Just because stupid people use an expression incorrectly doesn't make it mean something different.
