User base will not grow very well unless a candy client is developed so that most non-tech savy users can try it out, using a simple setup and controls.
The technology looks promising for a few of these P2P dohickys, but if its not simplified, you'll never get the files you really want from the folks who have them, unless the client has a candy coated super easy setup with big toysRus style glow buttons.
This trade agreement will allow the Mexican president to finally push for his
plan to unite south and central america for the purpose of creating a center of
technology and manufacturing in Yucatan.
His desire to bring in money to Mexico will allow him to garner the investments
of the southern nations to build a technological area in Yucatan for American
corporations to be able to compete against China, and Asian countries.
The destitute south americans will come far and wide, to work for the pennies of
large american corporations, as jobs are so scarce. Currently the meager
population in the area will see this as a god send, but as soon as the
corporations set up shop and dilute the economy with lower wages, like our own
fast food economy we have up here in the US. they will start to realize that the
new jobs that the corporations offer, will have folks working so much for so
little pay that they will end up as slaves to corporations.
Americans may not have a problem with people in south america becaoming hourly
slaves, but the pennies that they earn will allow the American corporations to
further cut legitamate American jobs for the hugh influx of south american cheap
workers that can easily compete with Asian countries.
American workers and Labor, will likely break apart durring a depression that
will be created by this. We have no more strong Labor representatives in the
U.S. and will likely suffer for it in a few years.
The issue with moving work out of the US more and more, will likely have a
detremental impact on our democracy. As more and more people fall by the way
side into socail programs, we may end up with a country run by corporations, who
have moved so much of the wealth away from the middle class, that only the large
lower class will remain, subsidized by social programs.
This will be the new impoverished economy of socialism, and I can easily see
people want to leave the country in 10-20 years if this keeps happening, for a
better life elsewhere. A country where the cost of living fairs better with the
wages recieved.
We might of won the cold war over Russia, but the more I see the radical changes
that this white house is creating, the more I feel we are moving to a Fascist
state were we wan't to conrol other countries through the idea of possible
prosperity, but not it's certainty.
with online devices such as the "Sidekick", http://danger.com
I have found google, and www.refdesk.com to be my only sources of info when I am not at home, or work... why have anything else when you can have a dictionary, encyclopedia, mapping (mapquest.com), and google news, blogger, email, picture taker, IM, claendar, etc, etc, etc... all from one small device that is connected to the internet 24/7 (well, if you have cell sites available..)
The more we have small devices like this, the less dead tree type books us working adults will read...
I have to say, that when I leave my house without it... I now feel 'Vulnerable', and extremely inconvenienced when I have to call 411, or ask directions, or not being able to browse news at a moments notice...
started using the information that these individuals have written, to inform sat/cable companies of what they have found, should that be illegal?
If the only difference is that CERT uses government dollars rather than advertisements, to foot the bill, and that it is run by american boys and girls in a university.
Does that give them special priviledges than most other folks who talk, or find about a hack?
A country that keeps 90% of there population in poverty while exporting 16.6% of the US oil (second only to Saudi Arabia) and NAFTA...
and have not caught up to european living standards at least....
should really cut down on the Siestas, get there your butts up politically, and change the rules. If there standard of living goes up, we will lose LESS work to them.
It is that simple, and the bandits at Pemex (mexican oil company) are simply raping the country, with the thumbs up from the governement... cause every body gets a kickback.
2-3 others have had a try on the same concept but never have released them.
The reason I would buy one immediatly, (I actually was looking for the
smallest cell phone I could find last night...) is because sometimes, all I want
is a cellphone that is completely unobtrusive, and can't be lost easily. During
the day, I wear a cellphone with everything under the sun in it (camera, email,
IM, calendar, etc) , and it feels like a brick. But at night, or going out.... I
hate the @#%@%$
What is the smallest cellphone you guys have seen, that is actually being

Current spam is more psychological than, physical for the average 'promoter' (advertiser, spammer, etc.)
When something is almost free to do, and provides you somewhat an anonymous way to advertise something a 'promoter' is trying to sell without incurring much cost except for a monthly bandwidth charge, and of course the computer to do the 'promotion'. We have people who cannot resist the idea that spamming is so much better than the US Postal service.
The US Postal service, limits you to physical items for advertisement, and postage cost for sending the items. Here we see 'promotions' only from local areas who know their customer base, and advertise solely to them. (Direct marketing) While spammers throw their crap to everyone under the sun, and see what 'sticks' and who buys.
Brainclone.com is working on a system for ISPs and users to have their own digital stamps. Basically the concept is the following: An unknown person emails you, and the mail server automatically emails them back saying that the Brainclone user does not know them, that the Brainclone user requests the emailer (promoter, spammer) to buy x number of stamps for the email to be delivered to the user. At the end of each month the Brainclone user receives the cash amount of the stamps, of the emails that 'promoters','spammers' decided to 'Pay' for the advertisement email to go through to the Brainclone user. White list, black list, and a couple other items are incorporated for ease to the end user.
The nice thing about this is that each Brainclone user would set his own 'Stamp' requirements for unknown people to email them.
(so in essence I may want 20 stamps per email if I decide I really don't want anyone unknown to me to email me, or set it at 1 stamp, so that I can receive a few advertisements that I may want to read (direct marketing) and get some cash at the end of the month)
This turns the 'Marketing' aspect of the internet spammers around, takes the free advertisements aspect out (and the psychological desire to spam EVERYONE), the marketers will also need to identify themselves when buying stamps (through a process Brainclone is testing using the same type that online banking uses) and then these marketers would have to apply the rules of direct marketing to avoid wasting money on the digital stamps.
This will have the spammers psychology turn from a... lets email everyone in the world 'cause we can and it's free... to one of... let's email those folks who we know would like to receive these local promotions, so that we don't spend our advertising dollars spending money unnecessarily on people who would never respond to our promotion.
ISP's make 20% of the stamp money if ads get through, Brainclone users get 80% of the cash if ads get through, and we all have a lot less spam.
Contact Brainclone Enterprises, if you are an ISP and would like to have this set up for you and your email users. Anthony@brainclone.com
1- China Gets Source 2- China uses Message Queing to break or break into asian corps, and small countries which have little security 3- China now has massive espionage in 2nd/3rd world countries, and united states corporate subsidiaries in those countries 4- China invests heavily in US stock market 5- Profit!
This precedence will now stand for chips on everything from ink cartridges, memory chips a la Sony, car parts for your vehicles, etc.
Soon we may be seeing stuff like staplers with staple cartridges, copy machines with paper cartridges, anything that can be inclosed in a 'protective' container with a chip ready to be used with only a single makers machine.
This will create a large chip industry that will provide these secure cheap chips for pennys, so corps can extort higher prices for many consumables.
Consumers will buy these goods, as software always will require you to 'upgrade' to the new items.
What a super scam. As consumers, we rarely see something really innovative, but we are and will always look for it in our products, as we always get bored of using what we know works, and buy something shiny and new.
As consumers are we reinventing ourselves out of our freedoms, because of boredom?
As Corporations, we simply compete for the bottom line dollar, innate freedoms for the people are not of concern. To law now stands firmly behind chips to destroy competition, is that what our nation is about?
This sounds like the poster at thinkgeek:

Real DRM
·
· Score: 1
Money, money Monaey!!!
Currently MS has their DRM solution for providers, and the major records and film producers. Why Money of course...
Open DRM would be a less costly solution to them, but the fact that it's "Open" probably doesn't make them a real contender for business... no Money
Real is looking at the long term, and is producing software to compete in a new video/audio world where folks will want to rent movies or whatever over the line (cable/dsl) It's a good thing to Real's investors to see that they are not left behind in the dust by MS, and would like the fact that they are competeing for the same Entertainment dollars now... 'mo Money!
Remember money makes the world go around, otherwise we would lose our sense of reality...
It will have a product in time to compete against Luminous threading... that will be used in fabrics. The threading will be 100x cheaper, will be a cousin to electronic paper, and will not cost the tax payers an arm and a leg.

If a website like CERTs http://www.cert.org/

Ok, maybe that was a little to harsh, but if everyone knows there is a problem, why does it take some crazy incident to trigger change?
Wonder what crazy incident will it take for the patent office to change?
I think it maybe the time when certain states stop dealing with the restricitions all together. Can states enter into state law such a device?
You guys are smarter than me, do individual states have this power?
