Most food comes from farms that transform natural gas (fertilizer) and diesel (tractors) into calories. I guess some agriculture might be carbon-neutral, but a great deal of it simply isn't.
Going further, western society would not function without transportation fuels, and 10% of people opting out isn't going to do much to change the final outcome.
If Google starts focusing their strategy on what Microsoft is doing, take it as an indication that Microsoft has won whatever it is they are competing over.
Google doesn't want to be your software provider, they want to dominate your eyeballs; based on that, they shouldn't care one lick about offline integration (except to the extent that it is a roadblock for people using their online tools).
A lot of that is inertia. It isn't like the photos are worth a whole lot to the photographer as an artistic work, it just happens to be a lot more profitable for him to charge you for time and reproduction than it does to charge you for time and throw in the copyright.
If nothing else, you can count on people to be lazy. Lazy people don't like to think any more than they need to, so interfaces that you have to think about simply don't stand a chance.
It would be easy enough for the live cd to access a folder of downloaded updates on a hard drive.
The reason it won't work is that from the point of view of developers, most people will probably have a better experience with a game that installs for windows.
You are doing the same thing with the arbitrary periods. It doesn't matter if a few bugs go un-patched for a month (or two!) as long as you and your customers can live with the mean time to patch severe bugs. The particular bucket that the bugs fall into when lumped into months isn't very important.

Well played.
I suspect that the problem may be that it is not profitable enough.
If it were truly profitable, some new party would be perfectly happy to take on the risk necessary to step in and disrupt the status quo.
It's pure speculation on my part, but why make $1,000,000 on textbooks when you can make $10,000,000,000 on Google?
Imagine how awful it would be if each practice problem contained a link to the solution.
The screen size and general awkwardness of the form factor are probably bigger issues for textbooks.
A hypothetical ebook reader could be water resistant or water proof without adding any incremental cost to the books.
Even better, reading without a giant stick up your ass.
And I say this as someone who has used precisely zero tobacco in my life and lost a parent to a cancer that was probably related to smoking.
I think the better response might be "I see your anecdote and raise you a blatant lie!".
The software can't prove that his keys were not compromised (thus all it can prove is that someone with access to the private key sent the document).
The first two things mean you are less likely to reach the third as a conclusion, not more.
Someone who didn't like the way Apple operated would be much more likely to conclude that Safari needs anti-phishing features.
They will no longer receive upstream support or bug fixes.

If you are just writing, you can use notepad.
If you are drawring words on the page in digital crayon, compatibility starts to matter more.
Someone please let me know if this is an unfair characterization of wysiwyg word processing.
God forbid the Russians get your muffin recipe.

I thought you had crapped?
You shouldn't worry.

Look for the spoon.
Just hit the tank with a conventional missile first.
Hold your finger close to your eye. Try to focus on it. It is very hard.
The focus problem can probably be overcome, but it will likely be at the cost of resolution.
It might be a shark with a fricken laser pointer on its head:

No media has ever been more reliable than the person presenting it to you.
These tricks make the visualization slicker and more interesting, but they don't really change how trustworthy it is.
Their current era technology appears to be working just fine.

When I go reward clicking, I try to click on ads for companies that look dubious or that I don't like.
I suppose I would also click on an ad for something I thought I might buy, but I tend to be a bit of tightwad, so that doesn't really come up.
