I couldn't care one way or the other if apple does or not include flash. My hate is just with flash, it needs to die, same with js in it's current form. But really if the author of this opinion piece was worth their salt, they'd be saying "how can I make it work? Then profit my expertise on it."
When laws become insane, sometimes the only way to fight back is to have everyone labelled the same way. Remember the writings of the Roman orators on this, and you'll understand the concept even better.
You're saying this like this was a bad thing. We did the same thing in Canada. As a 1st generation descendant of German/Japanese parents let me just say. Given the opportunity at the time, plenty would have been happy to follow the orders of the fatherland and/or the god-emperor to do whatever it takes to kill you from within.
Very. Haven't you seen the mosquito's we grow in Canada? They're large enough to pick up small cats, and the occasional dog. There's a reason why anywhere north of Sudbury for those 3 special weeks, you hide in doors. All people will find is your dried withered husk on the ground.
You must live in a place where the governments archaic laws regarding ownership don't stop you from having open access and limiting everything you can and can't do. Including what you can or can't watch on TV. Oh this place I'm speaking of is called Canada. So yes, if Google can bring competition I'm all for it. Much like I was in favor of WIND, to bring in more competition.
See some of us in the developed world actually require industry to give government a kick in the ass so we can have more freedom then "you have 2 choices, both of them are bad." Rather then the government oversight board(CRTC) which is full of cable & phone execs pushing away all competition.
Now the real question is why are they going into providing consumers fiber access.
Easy answer. It makes money, the demand is there or will be soon. That's future guessing the next 10 years or so, there's a monopoly on the market. Something easy to exploit, they have massive capital that they can use to front end this while testing current feasibility.
For the love of everything in every power, that people do and don't believe in. I want more competition. If google can bring it, I'll sing praises until I'm blue in the face. I have the option of 2 ISP's. Both with 60-90GB/mo caps, this is nothing but good in my book.
Don't you know? Marketing drones know best. You must, you shall, you will suffer under the thumb, finger, feet and possibly toes of our advertisements.
I personally don't care if he was sued by the 4th Emperor of the Lastman Squealing dynasty. Post your work, put it up for review and suck it up buttercup when dealing with scientific review.
In various parts of the world where you have unreliable power and a need for cooling, the ability to cool without massive draws is a huge benefit especially in the medical community. The other option is to use clay, but that can get messy after abit.
People gouge out their eyes when they try to read my notes. They're almost a personal form of short-hand at this point because I can't write worth shit. My printing is terrible, and in my college classes I can't use a laptop and I can't record the conversations. If I could it would be brilliant, I can type fast. 110wpm, no errors.
The thing with gaming/facebook/whatever it doesn't matter. Because students in those same classes use their cellphones to do it when their instructor/professor/teacher isn't looking. It's a moot point at this phase of the game. Let me have my fskin' laptop.
but are there some cool real-world applications I'm not thinking of?
Cheaper cooling solutions for super computers than stuff like Flourinert, of course this could also makes for dirt-cheap AC units, refrigerators and so on.
Just think...no more bulky compressors for cooling.
I don't know where you live but the number of police to citizens is somewhere between 1:400-900 people, if you're lucky. There's some cities where I live that have a 1:2000 officer:citizen ratio. That's pretty common everywhere.
Maybe they can claim that it has to do something with global warming and the giant sound of sucking machines, and micro-black holes will start getting the money for them.
Just a tip. No one wants to jump through hoops, even if the game is 'locked down' it will still be pirated and cracked. I'll slap a shiny $100 bill on it. Also who's going to pay for my bandwidth since I only get an alloted amount each month. Maybe I should send them a bill if I'm stuck downloading the content that should have been on the disc.

They can't figure out how to tax people into the dirt. So that's how they're going to do it.
You're in the talk radio business?
It's more profitable than TV these days.
Seriously, how self-centered are we?

I'll take it he works for Google.
Most excellent, tell me when I get a fat paycheck please. But sadly, you're wrong. The world doesn't revolve around your myopic view.

Hi. I'm Chris Hanson, would you like to sit down over here? We have the party van on the way.

Didn't work in East Germany after the wall went up. More people simply disappeared or were ratted out by their neighbors for being 'subversive'.

Except silverlight doesn't choke clockcycles as badly as flash does. Tough call...
Why is that a surprise. Businesses here still use programs running under OS/2 1.1

To be goo, or not to be goo. That is the question.
Really it sounds and I RTFA, like an extension of RAID0.
Maybe they are confusing cause and effect, if you are depressed, feel lonely, unable to get out of the house.
In Canada we call that winter.
