  1. There's a happy middle ground -- warn about "un-blessed" hardware, don't brick computers because of it. A Big Red Banner on boot and maybe an audio warning would be sufficient.

    This isn't for you. This is likely to be for datamining people for advertisers.

  4. Why bother coming up with good ideas win any idea that includes "AI" rolls in the venture capitalist money?

    (6) I wish the owners of the Barney Google trademark would sue the google and take the name away from them.

    On what grounds could they possibly sue? That mark's registration is only for a cartoon series as it's Goods & Services which has zero applicability to Google and its registered mark.

    Do you even know how trademarks work or are you just some ignoramus playing pretend lawyer?

    Google's customers are advertisers.

  13. Google+ was never alive in the first place. Digg probably has more active users than Google+.

  14. Google has never been some altruisitc or nice company. You naive idiots put way too much stock into an informal motto.

  15. How dare they not uphold a completely informal motto that was never legally-binding in any way! This is my shocked face.

    A "shitty stunt" that likely has increased the value of the work for the buyer?

    Some art-market watchers have suggested the work -- which shows a girl reaching toward a heart-shaped balloon -- could be worth even more in its shredded state.

  19. The buyer is probably ecstatic because they can sell it for much more now that people are claiming it's worth even more now.

    Katakana, which is just a more angular form of the hiragana set of phonetic characters

    Katakana was not formed from hiragana. Katakana is derived from fragments of kanji.
