I've long considered starting my own company manufacturing and selling routers, and simply using OpenWRT for the default firmware. Ideally employ a programmer to maintain a branch for my hardware, but of course contributing everything to the open source project and keeping nothing proprietary.
The problem is that there isn't really a market for it - the vast majority of people simply don't care.
I've been waiting for a plex app for my Panasonic TV for ages. Please don't let Panasonic's stupidity get in the way of you bringing it to market.
Also, I'm terribly disappointed in the Slashdot hive today. Talking about the shit that is the beta and ignoring the matter of the post is incredibly rude.
Good luck and good speed.
I suspect that this is less about blocking YouTube downloaders, and more about blocking those extensions that appear after not un-checking the box on programs downloaded and installed from the internet.
I.e. it's more for the protection of grandma who wants to download a pretty solitaire app than it is for stopping little Johnny downloading his music videos of Miley.
If you're smart enough to follow a few simple instructions and install a local extension, you're smart enough to follow a few simple instructions and install the Dev channel of Chrome first.
I'm sorry, but in what way is this news? This has been floating around the internet since about March. suddenly it becomes news when Microsoft finally admits it?

I've known about this for months. This is news?

I know this isn't directly related, but it's the first thing I thought of (and it's a good story anyhow). http://www.catb.org/jargon/htm...
In the words of Tom Clancy "Your dicks aren't big enough to get into a pissing contest with us!"
But is it actually of any practical use to us?
Yes, but get the hardware revision 2.0. The 1.x devices still have WiFi troubles.
You are what you eat.
That would be a rectifier. Google wants an inverter.

Google the tort of passing off. It is not necessary for a trademark to be registered for it to be legally defendable.
