Microsoft and Sony should build these controllers to increase their reputation, so that people will see them as "savior of the disabled". This gives them one extra chance to do massive evil.
The "dynamics of capitalism" is just market force. It doesn't have to be capitalism actually.
North Korea wouldn't be building these controllers (even if there are to be 360s sold there) as it isn't seen to be beneficial to the country, it's better for people to focus on work. All the funding needed to get the controller on the market is better off used for pleasing Dear Leader.
The fact never changes that Apple failed to deliver the functionality before the guy did. As such, it is just proper for Apple to credit him in some way.
Okay, there are many apps out there that does syncing wirelessly. So I think rule one is out of question: iOS didn't have that particular feature that was made available with that app, the app provided a feature that was not yet part of iOS.
So I think the only way it could've failed was because of the second rule you state.
If there were 100,000 Non-Macs previously, there are 104,500 Non-Macs today. Conversely, if there were 6 Macs previously, there are 10 Macs today
Also Macs are PCs too. I hate it when people call Non-Macs as PCs, and especially that Mac presentation in Apple Stores which claim "Mac does not get PC virus!" when it's actually referring to Windows'.
I think you've linked to a wrong article. For desktop use it should be something around buffer overflow or privilege escalation exploits.
Having a built-in reader is no more vulnerable than a third-party one. For people who never use PDF, then the reader is never used, hence no more security concern.
Is it okay for Procter & Gamble to read your colonoscopy results or your cancer screenings and then deluge your house, your email, and your doctor's office with cancer drug adverts?
If you didn't opt for the ads, then no. And they may do anything with your medical info as long as they've got your and your physician's consents.
Is it okay to peep at you naked if you don't know the perv ist getting off?
That is getting way out of context. By the way, you didn't read the privacy link they put in Google's front page? That's not their fault
Maximizing profit needs to be tempered with responsibility.
Hence, the motto "Don't be evil!"
Too often, profit is put over top off everything else, including good sense, civic respect, and civil rights.
You're assuming malice. Just so you know, all these tech corporations are dealing with new frontiers, that previously known common sense and moral lines are too vague to be reinterpreted in the newer analogues.
Sure, it'd be a lot easier if corporations could just reach into our bank accounts and take money outright
You really have a bad grasp of a corporation's purpose.
And since when has maximizing a corporate's profit become evil? If you got any sense of business management, you'd understand that profit is essential to allow a corporate to continue functioning. And I never hear the "do no evil" phrase being repeated constantly except by people outside Google (mainly/.tters).
So you better stay on track and discuss what is actually evil here. User tracking? Is that harmful to the user? Does Google use information it collects from your surfing habits to blackmail you or something?

There's OPAL, i.e. Oracle+PHP+Apache on Linux.
lynx! w3m! Pick your choice!
I don't think you're really reading what you've just replied to.
To sum up what OP said:
It's at least better than 3.6, but the problem is never eliminated.
So what? You just press Ctrl-/ once and leave it as it is. Big deal.
If I'm so desperate for the status bar, I'll hit Ctrl-/, thank you very much. Until then, I'd like my vertical space to stay.
Why make it out like they are victims?
Which part made it look like they are victims?
You want to compare with OSS? Okay. Make the result of analysis accessible to public in raw, then you can charge all you want for the fancy version.
Strange to see a second mention of Korea here, except in a different context.

And North Korea is the best Korea!

I think Google can sue Isys seeing that they own the trademark to Chromium
Yeah. So how are they going to get the license without all those background checks?
Oh that's simple.

If he didn't take that nickname, surely the number could've been jackpot.

The short version: everyone convert to Islam, then abolish your Constitution and govern the country under Sharia law...
Wow, you conveniently skipped the parts which IMHO are the most important reasons why they were after New York
Seeing how someone mentioned he remembered the accelerators for the menu and menu items, you ought to make it emacs.

What, does PDF scripting API include destructive methods? Microsoft can choose not to enable scripting by default.
I don't know who your 'everybody' refers to. Maybe it doesn't include me and the plethora of other satisfied MS Office 2007 users. Are we 'nobodies'?
