I sincerly doubt that evercookie has any use which isn't tracking.
Why else would you need a cookie which is hard to delete? You think saving your login information so that it is rebuilt when you press logout is a good idea?
Whenever someone goes through all the trouble of adding additional ways of tracking people - someone goes through all the trouble of finding ways of removing it.

The iPad was supposed to be the death of netbooks. And yet a netbook can do everything an Ipad can do - and far more.
Lets face it, the only reason anyone buys it because it looks cool. I admit that the idea of touching stuff to get it to work appeals to be - but there is absolutely no other way that an iPad (or any tablet) is better than a netbook
I've read this more than once and I still can not understand your point.
From what I can surmise is that you are comparing "I put up the infrastructure and you people may rent it" to "I control what products and services you can use" and concluding that since one worked the other does too.
Monopolies are always bad for the consumer - the problem is this:
"but are forced to rent the bandwith to competitors"
That is the breaking point of your argument. They are forced NOT to have a monopoly in the area. This is the total OPPOSITE of the Appstore - you have a monopoly and they don't need to rent it to anyone, they can choose to disallow stuff at a whim, they can add their own rules (No VMs!).
Now I don't understand what you mean by 'market is fragmented'. I have a symbian myself. I use the Nokia OVI store. I also downloaded some applications from sourceforge, and an e-reader from another website. That's called freedom, and that helps the consumers.

No no, capitalism is a magical thing which involves the passing around of pieces of paper being 'good' and the pieces of paper not being passed around being 'bad'.
So anything that stops you from passing around paper in their direction is 'bad'.
They have this newfangled thing in America... its called Sillycon or something like that.

Those are the work of the devil. They will stop chickens from laying eggs and the speed that people will move in them will suck the air out of their lungs.
You can get step by step instructions for tar balls, but it usually involves requiring the console to finish installing them (you need su access for the bin folder). Might scare some people I must say. Had problems with them myself.
"Do you think that minors should be prohibited from buying games which allow you to tase people, urinate on them, douse them in petrol, set them alight, dismember them and then kick the head around - without parental consent"?

Just to be clear, browsers allow users to right-click.
They've been suing the wrong people all this time.
Mozilla, Google and Microsoft are the culprits!
I don't agree with you at all.

We're talking about the iPad here. The equivalent of the iPad is a netbook.
Are you suggesting that the iPad has better software support than a netbook?
The Court system may be sick of it, but the lobbyists sure as hell aren't.
Not going to happen.
If common sense finally wins in one of these cases, it'll be the end of the world as we know it.
Until they file an appeal.
But they won't automatically make you cool as soon as you pick them up.
Anyone who wears a turtleneck defentally knows what cool is.

I think that was the intention - apparently she's selling a load of crap.
Does anybody know how she got the prefix of "Dr."?
Maybe her parents named her "Dr. Ann" ?
Dear Sir/Madam
We notice that you have used "Dr. Ann De Wees Allen" 3 times in the above comment. Dr. Ann De Wees Allen is a trademark held by Dr. Ann De Wees Allen.
Therefore we are suing you into oblivion.

There you go, now continue arguing.

I am finding it very hard to believe this to be honest.
I barely send 2-3 messages a day - I talk to whoever I want on Instant Messenger instead.
And especially with smartphones (which can run IMs) on the rise - I don't see how anyone can send that many.
I'm more interested in its weight in Micro-Elephants myself
...the network will only support UDP.
I already need to change my pants.
Overwhelmed by awesome or by terror?

Up there I also forgot
sudo apt-get install [name]
To install things from the repository.

I wonder how long it'll take before the 'cheap-o' airlines get wind of this and squash 50 people in the same space.
But even without the HW acceleration you still have the new look, the security upgrades and whatever.
