Rentals could have expiration date set to them (online checked), such a practice could easily be deployed via Steam for example, maybe they are doing it already....
Happy times! Macs are perfect, protected by the genius design of OSX and blessed by SJ himself. Windows nerds are just spreading lies and fearmongering. I've never got any virus or got hac
That material along with the carbon molecules got spread when the previous star generations exploded via novae. That means the DNA traces and higher molecule junk came from the previous generation of starts that preceded the solar system.
The lego like hardware components that can easily be connected, monitored and programmed is just such a brilliant idea. The less low-level stuff you have to resolve the more time to do something usefull you have.
This law is "unfortunate" beyond belief. What if is somebody creates an account in your name, uploads your photos and befriends all the little schoolboys.
Still wating for Californians to rally agains those nasty AT&T and Verizon radio towers that are beaming all that wattage right into their bodies all over there.
The green robot with linux brain is loose and winning over iPad here in Europe already -- Transformer, Multipad, Yarvik, Archos, Flyer sell more then iPad 2 at the biggest online retailer overhere (bestsellers listing), also of note is that Nokia sell like 10x more phones then Apple in that store so it might be due to some unfamiliarity with Apple products or something...
Replication or mass distribution? That is what the net and the cloud is for. Apple has ditched the optical drive already and for a good reason, all digital content we buy should be in the "cloud" and then downloaded only when needed to some local memory (flash). I can delete any game in my Steam account for space reasons and download it quickly again next year including cloud stored saves.. Why would I want to keep some unreliable physical media around? That is so last century. This tech. might help in some niche storage market perhaps, but no longer as a general "digital goods" distribution channel. Another example is that next-gen Sony VITA console, no physical media could be found there too.
How expensive is to put it out of LEO to Moon's orbit for example ? I mean it is already speeding at blistering 25km/h in easy to depart trajectory, one bigger rocket might do it, no? of course I am not a rocket scientist here, but again, why crash this multi-billion project of such a huge importance back to earth when we have the whole Space out there...
that is a bad move... instead they should push it to a Lagrange point or put it to an orbit around the Moon where it could orbit for centuries without any problems, those are cool solutions, why wreck something so precious and expensive? Yay, do you remember? Russians did this to their own MIR station.. nobody remembers they even have one now.
The main problem here is the mechanics, I mean the elaborate laser machinery behind the reader, crazy expensive, hard to replicate, mechanical.. Everything that is wrong with those discs from day 1.
Went to USPTO to see it with my own eyes. The record in question is currently marked as "Abandoned July 7, 2011" and effectively DEAD - the trademark seams invalid. Could somebody elaborate, doesn't this only mean that the trademark is in some limbo stage before it goes "live" or something?
It looks like PROTECT-IP will force Google to delist those sites anyway, once off the indexes, it will be very hard to find them, DNS blacklisted or not. That could cause a secondary underground internet to rise, with their own "black DNS" servers and search engines.
I would not bet on any battery tech..., but magnetically levitated (in vacuum) flywheel might actually be a power/energy storage miracle, it is much more viable now then any chemical battery. I would dare to say flywheel is back - big time.
HTC, Samsung, LG and probably some others pay Linux royalties to Microsoft for their Android based phones. Actually MS makes more money from Android (Linux) then what they generate from Windows Phone 7 now. It would make sense to embed the whole Microsoft patent portfolio there to cement their rule over Linux.

Like 80% of all internet users are "idiots" in this regard, those will have a hard time recognizing legit VLC, most of them even trust.com more then.org, so they can easily fall for this. Those blackhats perpetrators have the cash to pay for AdWords, that is why this is a HUGE problem. It is even more augmented by the fact that Google/AdWords has a helping hand in this.
Handling of sales tax is very easy, certainly for a big business. I am shocked that Amazon has not been sued and dismatled by the authorities for not paying them. How is that even possible for Amazon to not pay them ? Here in the EU any bussines owner of such a big retailer would already be counting bugs in jail for such a staggering avoidance.

Android has to be jailbreaked/rooted ? WTF? Wasn't it supposed to be open source and like, you know, OPEN .. facepalm.

Medieval analogies? Look into the sci-fi future, see, it is more like ad Matrix..
Wait a moment.. Why are they keeping such a database? Am I missing something? It looks like the biggest privacy violation in years..

This could be a breakthrough for automation, imagine robots navigating a warehouse with sub-inch accuracy. GPS is not that precise.

Fortunatelly copycat dudes can't reach this tech due to the cost, a capable laser sintering machine is sold for tens of thousands of dollars.

Tame the Vodafone tower of excessive wattage nearby, send the juice home, do not let them irradiate you!

Mechanically driven spinning disks technologies? Are they easy to manufacture? Nope. Cheap? Nope. Simple? Nope. Future proof? Nope. Bug free? Nope. Patent free? Nope. Fast and solid state? Nope.

and those blackhats can conveniently grab the user's private key via trojan or a hacked browser now
