then it is bought/paid separately. Unless you can quote something concrete (I saw that at the bottom of Apple's site too) from Apple it is still dubious what the jailbreaking real price will be.
Amazon tried, as well as Yahoo (years ago), to compete with ebay's business but you know what, although everyone griped, save the true Mom and Pop believers, and gripes to this day about Ebay's atrocious failings it is the commom people, you know the everyday peons, which think of Internet auction and Ebay as synonymous. AS though they are one and the same.
If I recollect Yahoo even made their offerings gratis, free. And they still did not make a dent.
Before you say, ja, mon, but Google is different, let me point out that Google Video could not compete with the Youtube (and they tried and tried), and as a consequence Google threw money at the Youtube founders. That network effect again, or the bandwagon effect, as wikipedia alternatively calls it.
Let's hope you are right, that Google competes for Ebay's profitable "auction" business. And consequently brings some responsiveness to that field. I have see my gf during the Teenie Baby craze use Ebay regularly, I never have, thankfully, but just my attemtps over the yearS(!) to peruse their wares left me, still leaves me flabbergasted at how shitty they are!
Anyhow, real competition to Ebay apparatenly comes from Craigslist, so the newspapers say and fear, and strategize to subvert. Try they do. Maybe Craigslist will be the antidote. Or auction.google.com. Nah! Never! The states regulate the auction business, that is why Ebay never refers about itself with the term auction. Auctioneers have to meet a lot of governmental regulation. Only lazy newspaper writers, and/or recently assigned to the beat, use that term so readily near Ebay, Inc.
Man, all this has been discussed over the years on the/. ^.^

Let me fix that for you: your premise flies in the face of a months old/. posting (Ja, I know authoritative =). That in Japan Google's approach does not lead to market supremacy; Yahoo's does. Japanese apparently like their mobiles' screens, portals chock full of eye candy, spinning Flash widgets, busyness, i.e., Yahoo style bombast vs. Google.com bareness.
I never can contuse my mind to, for example, compare these films as Star Wars 1, Stars Wars prequel 1, etc. When my gf starts rolling her eyes, trying to construct this marketroid/Lucas neologism I stop her, saying: You mean Star Wars 1, and Star Wars 6?
When did nerds, or the plain rebellious start being spoon fed, led by the nose on something so plainly crass.
Yes, Padawan, I see you switched your netflix DVD sound track to the scholar notes, and went into the extras and viewed George Lucas' Star Wars-Hidden Fortress comparison interview. How for example, Kurosawa based Hidden Fortress plot denouement from the perspective of the two lowliest characters, peasants. Hapless and bumbling. So R2D2, C3PIO. Did you impress your teacher with how Kurosawa, as well, appropriated this technique off a director he lionized?
Gad, if they only made dvds with insider interviews, insights that one could retread and pass as one's own in physics 101, 301... 801!

Refreshing, different POV. Typically one hears `the '50s were an ambivalent period in US cinema.' What with the allusions to the Cold War, commies everywhere and amongst us, can't truly trust my neighbor, McCarthyism, etc. See "High Noon," with Gary Cooper.

Thank you! I thought the same. I originally read about this event / idea in the New York Times, back around mid 1990's, if not the early 1990s! I recollect the author described it as ~sort of like surf waves, rippling at the edge of the Solar System.~
FWIW, the Times had a contemporaneous series of front page articles on the Voyagers' discoveries! Saturn rings! new Jovian rings - travel through the rings - new moons! Uranus close ups! Fantastic stuff!
I read those articles mesmerized - to this day. Nothing since has captured the imagination; not PBS shows, e.g, Nova, etc.
When is someone going to do a fabulous book on these amazing stories, events, comprehensively.
A great documentary wouldn't hurt.
A creative Hollywood film on-topic?! Ah, yes, bereft-of-creativity-Hollywood.
Or, maybe there already is a fab book on the Voyagers' discoveries. At least a dig though the Times archives and a collection of same would be pleasurable to me, or anyone else.

You needed to footnote your post.
And was it violated by the culprit at hand?
not dump, public domain all, or the majority of their HDDVD tech when it lost?
Can someone explain? Please.
I would have thought since they had nothing to lose:
- an all torpedoes be damned
- a salt the earth
- and it might do some good whilst something interesting might come of it approach,
would have been deployed.
I have never seen an insightful analysis on this point.
Because of the network effect.

Neither. It is taught. Like language.
Now, if I discovered your wallet in your back pocket logically fallaciously I would have discovered North America in 1492.

When will Gmail add ONE simple thing/sort to its service: expiry.
"incoming mail can be set to expire instead of just plain deletion," http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnus .
Great for my Inbox. To wit, if it's overflowing with months-old messages, then delete/expire messages at my command.
