The Social Media API isn't a Facebook only thing. It can be used with any site.
For example here Ericsson demonstrates how WebRTC and Social Media API can be combined to be the corporate "unified communications" system (PBX, chat, whatever):
I think they just wanted to take it down, if they get convicted is probably less important. It is to show people their power, so others won't try to do the same. And maybe even discredit the operators.
They are knowingly responsible almost single handedly causing multiple financial crisis or plummeting whole countries in severe dept (just look at Greece as an example).
Let's see: - Google transcoded a large part of the YouTube videos to VP8, they'll need time to transcode them to VP9. - Firefox doesn't even support VP9 yet. - VLC doesn't even support VP9 yet, 2.1.0 will have it, it's the current development release.
You are looking at what is going on now, not what will happen in a few maybe 5 or 10 years.
3D printers currently exists for wood, carbon fiber, ceramic, bronze, steel, iron, cellulose and human tissue and prices of these devices will keep dropping like what we are used to from Moore's law.

How are you 'putting presume on it to change' ? Because to be honest, I've not seen anything like that yet.
Really, I would like to know.

I think you you need to have a bit of patience.
Really ?:

And they clearly don't care about the constitution or they would have stopped doing what they are doing.
It sounds more like a attack on RMS than on the license.
Which isn't a bad thing, they want to give users freedom even if that means developers might have slightly less freedom.
Also it does not mean you have to share your changes with the world, just the people you give (or sell) your program or code to.
It really isn't that bad.
Their solution is the right software and no legacy applcations, a lot of existing applications are not 'cloud scale' or whatever you want to call it.
So it won't automatically send the same request to an other machine and have it work.
That is what is needed if you want to play 'in the cloud' properly. Only then will you get reliability and costsavings.
All the other legacy applications people put 'in the cloud' will have less reliability in 'the cloud'.
What I think is strange about the article is that encryption can also be used to just raise the bar.
If we use transport encrypted protocols like HTTPS, IPSEC, etc. everywhere we'll take away their dragnet.
When the police has a warrant they can search your home, but they shouldn't be installing government camera's in every home.
Yep, jobs and money could go the way of the dodo, but we still have a long way to go I think.
It could lead to reform instead of collapse.
Anyway, whatever they are doing now is 'not sustainable'.
Ohh, yeah ! Turn on my oven ! Yeah, baby !
Something like that ? ;-)
Some say by 2020 or so, food, energy and water are not a problem anymore. It will be dirt cheap:

Openness/transparency (like the article) and facts is the only thing that could still help.
I guess we'll never see this facts on US TV.
OK, they are going to fail.
I didn't have any mod points for this, but if I did, I would have voted you up.
This is exactly what I was thinking about too.
Many US politicians even presidents (or their family) are involved in oil/energy, guns, medicine for example.
Before they are a politician, they work at these companies and after they've been a politician, they go back working for the same companies.
Anyone hear of the phrase "conflict of interest" ?
Forget about discussions about guns, that is just to easy. What do you think about printing body parts at home in maybe 50 years as well ? ;-)
I don't know if it will happen, but if Moore's Law might eventually apply to many parts of 3D-printing (I think it will).

Forget these pee shooters, expect change.
The point of supporting the AWS API is to support existing running code from people that didn't have the foresight to pick an abstraction layer.
I think Heat will be even more awesome than AWS Cloud Formations, because they are working on supporting a second, easier, syntax.
You know, OpenStack is more like a framework you can use to build your own cloud.
I think it will get some reference implementations soon that will make it easier to deploy it.
Because then they'll can make more ready made scripts to deploy certain implementations.
As a politician you can't be against Israel in the US, you'll be an outcast and out of a job as a politician forever:
