No, your expectation is that everyone else should come to the same conclusion as you from the very instant that a new subject enters their field of view.
I don't really fileshare any more. When I do, I use torrent. I used to use usenet a lot back when you could still easily access it, before the ISPs tried to kill it.
That's why we NEED to get the fuck off this rock! Start sending people to mars and start laying the groundwork for colonization/terraforming. Start building large rotating space stations where people can live permenantly. And launch ourselves even further out from there.
The only way the human race is going to survive is if we aren't all in one place. If we don't do it to ourselves, then it will be some natural disaster like an asteroid.
Sure, but then we just keep them going until the earth starts spinning in the opposite direction. Yeah, the sun will rise in the west and set in the east, but it's better than frying, and it won't really make that much of a difference anyway.
Article makes several good points, but a lot of the problems it mentions are leveled at the iPad specifically and not tablets in general. Non-apple tablets could easily not have these problems.
Personally, I'd like something where you can just plug the tablet into a docking station that has a keyboard and mouse setup, maybe even a larger monitor, and just pull it out when you need to go portable. Although that doesn't take care of the problem where tablets will be forever less powerful than desktops.
I don't strictly need any other reasons, but reasons like "don't want my personal information shared with anyone who pays Zuckerberg for it" and "utterly pointless" still exist nonetheless.

The purpose of Sony's rootkit, while unethical, at least made sense.
And what if the purpose was "pushing the envelope on how much they can get away with on gathering information on their users"?
Sony got smacked down for it.
And if this had been true, Samsung would have been smacked down for it.
Critical thinking, try it sometime.
Are you always this much of a worthless, piece-of-shit, asshole?
Yeah, like no music company would ever put rootkits on their CDs either.
Where did this quote come from, then?
monitor the performance of the machine and to find out how it is being used

I do .NET because that was the natural extension of classic ASP, which everything was done in at my first programming job.
Although the more likely scenario is "me not watching your shows because they suck".
Pff. "Socially accepable"? Where's the fun in that?
Aren't there, like, 14 now?
that "torrent" was supposed to have a "micro" symbol in front of it. Must have gotten filtered out and I didn't notice on the preview.

I think that story makes a lot more sense than any other forms of reincarnation that people actually believe.
No more believable, though.
You're making a few assumptions about the nature of reincarnation.
RIAA would never report a drop like that. It would completely undermine their ability to blame piracy for low music sales.
I'm not on Facebook.
There is a decline in music downloads that NPD Group is able to track.
Think about that one for a second.

Let me clarify. I want to be able to plug a non-Apple tablet into a setup like that.
Well I saw mine on a newer documentary about life in the 31st century.
*sigh*
Please look up the definition of "googol", then look up the definition of "umpteen".
I think that "jigga" is the prefix used to indicate a one followed by umpteen zeros.
