Besides the fact that this is invasion of privacy (in the weirdest possible way), what happens when the sniper decides to shoot and it hits your eyeball?
It may be a tiny device but you're either dead or blind either way.
First, iTunes Music Store is by far the most successful online music store. Good prices, great selection (sounds like a damn commercial doesn't it?).
I'm very pleased with it. I get ALL my purchased music from it.
This "playfair" project is just going to have the recording industry folks who reluctantly agreed to go in with Apple and distribute their music get scared and pissed off. They're going to pull their music and/or the prices are going to go up in fear of piracy.
It can not only hurt Apple, but also hurt online music sales as a whole.
Its nice to see the people bitching about the $20 CD's ruining the $10 online albums.
Its not good enough until its free right? GIVE ME A BREAK!
I seriously doubt the few thousand dollars they get from a p2p user makes up for the $500+/hour the lawyers are charging them. I would tend to be they think its the principle that they're fighting for.
more than not, people don't have big screen (50" and more) tv's. but if they do have a monitor for their computer, all it takes is a $100 video card from wal mart and they're good.

Getting what you paid for? That's horrible. I want it to make my toast too!

The RIAA bought Apple? That's a shame. All those great stores now owned by the RIAA.
Jackass.
Like I was saying, Apple foots the bill. NOT THE RIAA. Apple didn't raise the prices, the RIAA controls that.
I want more money too but that doesn't mean I'm going to get it.
They can't justify that price increase though.
Apple is footing the bill for the backend stuff.
They're not distributing physical goods.
They don't have store fronts.
And if they do increase the price, more piracy will definitely be happening. And they will bitch again.
So you're saying they sold them the music claiming they could play it on any device?
NO, they did not. They knew what they bought and this is only going to promote piracy.
I understand there are going to be a few users who use it legitimately but its going to be a very marginal amount.

Why not use UPS's with double the VA rating than the ones you currently have?
:-(
When he was building his new batteries with this technology, he accidentally burnt down his money tree
there is an inlying problem though...
1) you must stick to either kde, *box, gnome, etc. which users are not going to want to do
2) distributions must have a SINGLE standard window manager
and beyond that, the choices the users and distributions have to choose from must be up to par with windows & os x.
Ever meet the guy at work who just hangs out around the water cooler talking smack? What happens when stuff starts going wrong?
First: Point finger at someone else.
Second: When you get blamed-Deny Deny Deny!!
Yeah I'll take an iBook with relish and mustard... no no more mustard.. yeah thats good.. and a large coke.
You are correct sir.
But, how long before they find another puppet to shove their hands into?
and *gasp* What'll we do 'til then!?
don't be bitter you got mugged and lost your iPod ;-)
its gotta be goatse!
so you're assuming that they're not going to put a price cap on these channels? as if the government didn't know this was going to happen?
Now I can get rid of everything besides 4 or 5 channels. This may put a dent in their little monopolistic position.
Does this not apply to satellite providers though?
don't send it to the regimes. don't send it at all. but don't expect the locals to not destroy forrest in hopes to create food for themselves.
and how many of the people starving in africa are you going to tell that we have the food we just don't send it?
making money out of suing file traders.
I seriously doubt the few thousand dollars they get from a p2p user makes up for the $500+/hour the lawyers are charging them. I would tend to be they think its the principle that they're fighting for.
the food shortages are causing the destruction of wildlife and forrest.
if we don't have a moral obligation to make more food, then we have a moral obligation to defend the forrests & wildlife of the world...
otherwise *gasp* we could let nature take its place and where humans are more abundant than food, let the strong survive.
how much is the big screen tv though?
more than not, people don't have big screen (50" and more) tv's. but if they do have a monitor for their computer, all it takes is a $100 video card from wal mart and they're good.
tax the billion dollar companies that are monopolies so they can help the other 99.9% of people that are getting robbed by the rich .1%.
so the government should:
a) have no say in monopolistic companies and industries
b) not worry about the quality of life of the citizens in this country
i don't like that at all.
and it has nothing to do with the rising obesity ratio in the US of A of course. ;-) ...I'm starting to think its the United States of Ass
Its funny too because all the stuff you see on TV is fitness/beauty related.
