  1. In the future on Digital Tech and the Re-Birth of Product Placement · · Score: 2

    by 2020 actors will just be holding object to be tracked and the TV will render new skins over the top of them (objects & actor :) ). The object they hold in the studio along with the set around them will be just as fake as the industry that pumps it out. You'll never see the same ad object twice and people in different locations will see different cans of soda. It will work like google ads. If you scrub back to watch the scene again, you'll see a different can. If you do use this tech from this idea please donate money to something good and I'd like a house too. Thanks

    That's a lot of comfy ruby, and I'm sure you'd like to keep those loved items you enjoy every day as comfy as the first Sunshine Fabric Conditioner day you bought them.
    I'm good at this.

    He was also gay; but people didn't talk about that much either. Telling people he wan't real upsets them most.

    That may be true for a book; but for films they are so formulaic and dumbed down so much, you can guess the plot by reading the synopsis.
    I watched Inception knowing 3 things: 1) the main star. 2) it had a folding city dream sequence 3) It had something to do with dreams.
    I watched the first mins and thought "I hope it's not that". Then a bit of exposition later and I knew the whole film and ending. It was a bit of a let down to be honest. A bit of nested dreaming and not breaking out at the right level. whoop-de-do. People found that complex? I call it work. The twist I guess, was fooling me into thinking they were going to do something new.
    I rented it and should have downloaded a film that worthless!

    I thought that was about it. The Facebook data doesn't prove a thing if they take into account all those people who have 500+ friends.
    Just to point out I've never met the Queen and have I never "known" her.

    In real life as soon as you know a person who has met the Queen or the Pope, you then know a lot of people via them. How strong does this connection need to be?

    Me being in the pub beats both of them at their own game. I'm spending money on things. How else is this story about products competing for your money. As for games on a phone being worthless. You tell me someone with an R4 cartridge did find that one out by game 20. Lots and lost of utter dross. Shame on the people that made it.

    It's only tenuous to people who don't care about mother earth like I do. Hold on - did this reply use up all the things DRM uses needlessly? It did didn't it? Sorry ... :)

  22. Being tracked on Reaction To Diablo 3's Always-Online Requirement · · Score: 2

    Another point would be - I just don't want to be tracked by yet another company. All my time spent, all the clicks I make. The usage habits within a UI, that I'm not aware of, that [could / can / will ] be used with other data sets at some point in time to identity me from the next guy. 15 mouse moves makes it me is a worry to think about. Also, it's another username/password account to deal with, to be hacked, to be used in wonderful ways you can't think of.

    If I could sound sincere, I think I may almost have a decent point with this one. - Think of the planet [i don't]. How many extra tons of CO2 does this extra level of DRM cost our world? Every cpu in use and telephony item between here the there - needlessly used. Scale that up to millions of people worldwide ... It's EVIL! [needs more sincere]
