Actually, the story is telling a very different story. Amazon Prime endangers local stores. They will close shop, making you fully dependent on Amazon Prime in the end. Which is of course when they'll yank that carpet out under your feet and charge you through the nose for... well, anything you might want or need.
Yes. We're some alien race's holiday movie archive. I, for example, am a trip to Venus. But hey, I don't complain, just imagine the poor guy that is the hellhole trip to Uranus.
Less cheapness, more necessity. There are small stations that run on a shoestring budget, but often they're the more interesting ones because they are the only ones that cover local events.
Don't worry, that's still gonna be possible. We only remove the bits that are detrimental to our experience. It's the industry's job to protect their precious content from us, and it's our job to protect our undisturbed viewing experience from them.
We have very different opinions on what's cute. I think it's cute how naive some people are who think that they'll freely be allowed to FF, rev, stop and skip in software that's explicitly been created for the sake of taking control out of the hands of the person paying for content when exactly that has been done before time and again.
Then again, it's cute when an 8 year old has that kind of faith in the industry. With a grown up that should actually know better, at least if he's not been under a rock the past 20 years, it starts to get scary.
No such chance. They want an immediate ROI, within months. Years, tops. Something like a Mars mission would not only take decades to come to fruition, it's even likely that the ROI will not fall to the ones investing but to someone else.
The 60s and the moon shot program meant a huge leap forwards in technology. More even than WW2, and with a LOT less blood spent on it. But not only "hard" technology, we gained even a lot more in terms of new insights in logistics and organization. The logistic and organization problem they had to solve, i.e. how to coordinate many different suppliers and many, many thousands of people, to deliver on time, to deal with delays without endangering the project itself, eliminating redundancies without creating bottlenecks in case something couldn't be delivered on time, all these problems are exactly the same problems large corporations face today in a global economy. They benefit greatly from it.
Of course, that's something everyone benefits from, not just NASA. Not even just Boeing, Grumman and Rockwell who built the CSM, the LEM and the Saturn V. You won't find private investors for something like this, nobody puts his money on something that is then easy to copy and use by the competition.
Because that would entail putting a person to watch over the broadcast. You'd be amazed how much automation is going on at networks these days. There are times when they're on full autopilot, for smaller stations it's not uncommon to put in a long music (+ad, of course) list at around 9pm and basically press "play" 'til the 6am morning news.
Actually, more and more people use prepackaged frameworks and js libraries, which is actually a step forwards in terms of security. At least they are built by people that MIGHT have an idea what they're doing.
The vast majority of people want to get what they expect. What do they expect? Well, basically what they're used to. What are they used to? TV and video. So what do they expect? Basically, a VCR experience. Including the option to fast forward, rewind, skip what they don't give a shit about, pause where they want to and watch it as often as they like for buying once.
Offer that and they won't bother to ask their geek friend how to get what they want. I somehow doubt that they'll get all that out of the box, though. So it will be the same that we already had back when their DVD and BluRay players started to "misbehave": Geek, fix that for me!
You want to win the browser war and become the dominant browser? Then better be the browser where this junk can easily be removed so people can watch their content the way they want to.

Bigger asses!
No, wait, we have already reached that goal, at least in the West...

So... The Voice was just the advent of talkies?
Stories evolve. Just so you wait, in 5 or 6 generations, you'll shoot first.
Just think how we'll laugh when we learn that our whole existence is due to some alien race wanting to store their Saturday morning cartoons.
Norton isn't even in the same league as Kaspersky. That's like trying to outlaw a MLB team to give your son in the little league a leg up.
Now, now, the housing situation in Russia isn't THAT bad.

Are you really that naive that you think this will be the first time DRM works?

And you can't patent organization systems.
Please. They are British. They're wankers, all right, but they have style!

That episode of the Doctor wasn't too good anyway, no loss.
You are obviously on vacation for about 6 months before every election.
Or tweet more than him.
Or pretty much anything from Steel Panther.
Damn right, back when I went to school our PE teacher showed us how to masturbate, and we could even try it on him to see if we do it right.
What? Why is everyone looking at me funny now?

And gladly we will be of service again.
Yes, their experience with the users will be so much better for them.
