This could grow big. It needs stories presented in a manner similar to/., push the law abstract to the side menu or somewhere accessible, write introduction to the stories, add icons or images for better orientation, add comments, messageboards, wiki?
ORLY??? Have you anything to backup that claim ? Or specify that "leak" website more ? If true, that could trigger a massive privacy related class action lawsuit against MS.
The state subsidy for coal electricity is absurdly high, it is still like 10x more then for renewable energy. No wonder expensive green energy projects can't compete.
These objects are well known as Foofighters (the rock band is named after them), during the WWII German pilots thought that Americans have some new kind of spy drones. On the other side of the front, US pilots thought that German rocketeers deployed those craft. After the war neither side claimed them.
Still, it is a government, so you can sue them back, easily for millions -- if they decide to censor a legit site and you can use the nice streissand backslash effect too.
Amazon is perhaps the most DDOS resistant website of all ".com" servers on the planet now, this is further reinforced by the fact that they operate one of the largest cloud hosting in the cyberspace today, that means that they can offload tons of traffic to countless backup servers. It is futile to attack the disseminated state-of-the-art content servers behind their domain, on the other hand, attack on the their DNS servers could still be somewhat achievable, but I have no doubt they have huge scale-up and backup measures for those too.
If iPhone blooming market (99% games are singleplayer) is any indication of the gaming future (you know the era of mobile devices/tablets that we are now entering..) then perhaps he should better retire, or go to sell groceries.
I do not want to spoil your cheers for charity, but according to this site: charitynavigator.org, US charities (most of them) are money devouring scumbags.
I wonder whether we can even call them "charities", on average they spend about 50% of donated money on
"expenses", but shockingly those expenses are excessive wages in millions of dollars for a selected few at the top. Some of these tax-avoiding charities burn as much as 90 cents on every dollar you donate. Just look at the annual charity report PDF at that site, it is a revolting shameful read.
Carmack's Rage for iOS has been done alright, now I am eager to see whether it is even possible to port such a demanding 3D game to Android. There are lots of obstacles like the crippled NDK, hardware fragmentation, poor native audio support and boatload of other issues. If Carmack is taking a stab at it then I am really excited see the results. Also, pity the WP7 devices' capable hardware is DOA for such a development due to lack of native code support.
I am quite certain the problem here is the "Pac" in the name, if the game itself is a Pac-Man lookalike then similar sounding name is an obvious trademark collision. In other words, you can make a Tetris kind of game and put it on the Android market, you just can't name it "Super Tetris".
Silverlight little applications are now trumpeted as native on WP7?
The absence of true native code in WP7 (C/C++) is a major problem, see, Apple has a clear edge in applications, they allow native code C/ObjC/C++ so people like Carmack can run Doom, companies like Korg can make true synthesizer DSP driven software and even FOSS people can compile and reuse their cherished code on iOS devices.
In the old days Bill Gates at least did know a thing or two about developers and what they need, it seams that MS is totally losing their vision, roots and edge by doing huge mistakes like dropping support for major native development inroads for their new mobile OS. So much for the Steve "triple developers" Ballmer's promises.
I doubt that, Wikipedia has thousands of revisions on even less important topics and mistakes get corrected out pretty quick, of course, if you find any 'mistakes' then perhaps you should try to fix them as any expert in any field should be doing..
..something that was relatively free of commercial spin
Amazon is not the first and certainly not the last entity that puts or mixes Wiki content with commercial stuff. Mostly these copycat&link sites get removed from the indexes and from the ad serving companies pretty quick. This case is different though, Amazon has little to worry about its PageRank being damaged and they do not derive their revenue from ads, that means they can misuse Wikipedia with little backslash.
Android has got a better branding, you can't beat that green Android robot, it is beyond argument especially with non-tech people. Now all the "MeGo.." jokes around, Nokia+Intel teams should have picked at least some animal or something people can easily relate to, this new OS will be hard to push especially when the other side (Android) has the Google marketing muscle behind it.
You can always sue the entity back, if it is government backed then even better, lawyers loves government defendant lawsuits, you can easily ask for millions in damages and they will pay, however, in this scenario of a blackhat plaintiff, this is probably not workable:)
As far as I know, faces of people can't be used for commerce without permission from the "owner". A notable exception to this are pics, photos or caricatures of politicians in certain context.

Like the US debt bubble? Just soared over 14 Trillion this week.. this default might be spectacular.

I do not believe and would never claim that it is a real profile and not a fake, but the title:
Current mission: "Fomenting Revolution."
Is certainly fitting.

Makes we wonder whether this could be enforced in the EU and against EU based firms?
EU is software patent free, is it not?

Vatican does not have a software treaty with the US
That foolish Vatican pirate is simply 10 commandments violator, and we all know what is coming to him..
On WP6 yes, but not on WP7, the only known exception is Flash plug-in (Adobe).
ObjC is terribly slow, but C is allowed by Apple.

You really can't use C/C++ on WP7 (as a regular developer), at least for now. This is deliberate choice by the WP7 team, they are pushing .NET.

Just remembering the recent Netflix case..the "last mile cable" laying tough guys might have something to say about the matter.

Foundem, one of the sites that has complained publicly and to the European Commission, duplicates 79% of its website content from other sites
Interesting to read this from entity like Google that copies or 'generates' like 90% of its content from other sites.
