If an integrated solution goes 5% faster, I'd prefer it. If it makes it harder for an attacker to replace my scanner, I'd prefer it. And so on.
A purely monolithic structure is unlikely to be the right structure, but so is a pure component structure. I'm not informed enough about the situation to know if the current situation represents a deficiency, or if it is the accidental result of a series of reasonable compromises (in either case, the AV vendors may prefer to write an integrated system).
On another level, I'm not sure there is a huge difference between an API that provides callback hooks or notifications (I think this is what Windows provides) and a service that calls another API or service.
If the software is slow and cumbersome, it will fit the definition of shitty. If I am broke, $300 (for what is mostly a toy) may not be affordable.
The first of those questions is yet to be answered, and the $300 is what they sort of hope they can charge for it, not the actual launch price. So I agree that the general idea has lots of potential, but 'this sucker' isn't something we can have a concrete discussion about just yet.
Your 'logical' case that damages=24x$1xNxBxLxD rests on the premise that it is reasonable to hold a single person responsible for an arbitrary amount of distribution on the internet. This is nonsense.
If you really think it is reasonable, I suggest you start figuring out how to prove that it wasn't you who killed my dog. I mean, for all I know, it was you.
So why the funny mod? Is it because AC pointed out obvious information that bananas grow on trees, or is it because AC provided the incorrect information that bananas grow on trees?
You are mixing stuff. On Windows, ClamAV is the only OSS solution, and it doesn't (yet) have decent support for on-access scanning (It is possible to use WinPooch to do it, but WinPooch is unmaintained and not compatible with Vista or XP SP3). This is mostly because the developers of ClamAV are more focused on using it for server side email scanning and so forth.
So sure, an OSS solution for on-access scanning on workstations would be attractive for lots of reasons, but there isn't one right now, so it doesn't really matter.
And yet, with better prenatal and infant care, and antibiotics, people with 'crappy genes' are probably an ever decreasing percentage of the population.
That wouldn't even go far enough, as people who bred earlier in life would quickly become the larger part of the population (because say, 4 or maybe 5 generations could be alive at once, instead of 3).
The knuckleheads know there is an internet, and they know there is porn available on said internet, but it is a stretch to say that they know how to use the internet.

I would go with something like "The Buffet is on Tuesdays", or maybe "Ruuuuuunnnn, change is coming!!!".
The may be able to undercut the DSS-style data services, which are 'pricey' at the moment (especially for what they deliver).
Plus, if you squint and think of GWB, the satellite is called 'TerrorStar', it doesn't need any other purpose.
It must be awfully hard, going through life thinking you are that smart.
I award myself 5 points and hand you a pickle:

Do you thumb type on the Ipod? A 12" tablet may not be conducive to that, especially to people with normal monkey hands.
(I don't think the lack of a physical keyboard matters, but I don't think the devices are directly comparable either)

No one wants a shitty, expensive web appliance.
I would guess that the market for a nice, affordable web appliance will surprise you (I'm not sure this device will meet either of those criteria...).
I didn't say 'certainly', I said 'arguably'.
Yes, the 'larger screen in a format that is easier to hold' was supposed to be a dead giveaway to the sarcasm.
The newspaper articles/blogs are from July (one is even from 2 days in the future), but the TechCrunch article (arguably the 'original') is from June.
It's not a netbook and I don't see why anyone would possibly prefer a larger screen in a format that is easier to hold to something with a keyboard.

Maybe that is what you meant, but I read your comment as if you meant 'multitude' or some such.
What do you do about the fact that you never know what kind of crazy shit it is going to pull?
And yet, with better prenatal and infant care, and antibiotics, people with 'crappy genes' are probably an ever decreasing percentage of the population.
Not purely. People often notice other people doing something smart and copy them (this is a 'better' idea displacing the acquired characteristic).
That wouldn't even go far enough, as people who bred earlier in life would quickly become the larger part of the population (because say, 4 or maybe 5 generations could be alive at once, instead of 3).

Just how small do you think the oceans are?
My home town pulls water of Lake Michigan and treats it for drinking water. Best municipal water I have had.
Lakes Superior and Heron are at least as clean.
You left off poisoning the Great Lakes.
And changing the laws of physics to make desalinization impossible.
Never 'calm'?
Sounds horrible.
