I'm curious as to if they actually got people to vote and just lied (or fudged the numbers or changed the votes afterward) or if they just straight up lied about everything.
The main problem is that consumers see it as the "cheaper Android" version of an iPad. They expect, due to various trumpeting and possibly the fact that Apple products are always more expensive than they're worth, that the iPad is like so as well; more expensive by far than what it costs, and thus the lesser but modestly priced Android tablet would be a straight competitor.
And then they find that it's just another shoddy (in comparison) tablet with an Amazon tailored interface.
You are defending a company for stiffing their entire userbase in exchange for cash from a third party. It's a dick move for ANY business to make regardless of whether it is profitable or not.
There are plenty of people like you! For instance, I've talked plenty of people into getting Xbox 360s (or assembling their own PCs for gaming) instead of getting a PS3 due to the great Sony company's shenanigans over the pat two decades.
The only people with a (more or less) guaranteed meal a day are the military, and the ones in charge of that are the most well-off in that entire country in terms of necessities and power.
There will be no real change until all foreign countries stop giving them any form of aid, and they run out of food for their military and can't stretch it further with propaganda (i.e. troops start dying en mass from starvation).
That seems like exactly what they've been doing for over 30 years.
That's kind of why textbooks have more or less been re-using the same core knowledge yet costing more and more each year. They haven't been improving the way they teach the material as much as the "buy a new book every year" mantra would lead most to believe.
And they can't learn new tricks. Schools are used to being locked into publishers, or rather, a specific set of a succession/pattern of publishers for sets of X years. In essence, they are used to and they "go for" a form of vendor lock-in, which ultimately just makes everything worse.
Some sort of paradigm shift away from textbooks may be inevitable, but it will require a drastic revamping of infrastructure; the day that most students are bringing tablets to school is the day that those students are also not charging their book-pads before school.
Quite frankly, unless a specifically long-lasting-battery and rugged tablet model comes onto the market, it just won't be practical. Now, E-Readers? There's an option that might work better, if only the tech was faster.
It IS an interesting idea though. Watson's heuristic analytical capabilities might make it a great match for checking for prior art and existing patents.
Repressive = Middle-Eastern, Eastern-European (this one comes down to internal debate), African or Asian countries that either disagree with the EU's goals, or ones that happen to get into the news over alleged brutality.
Have they given a way to use an old version of the Marketplace yet? Trying to do so normally just results in the app auto-updating itself. The current application is so slow and unresponsive that it is virtually unusable on an N1 with more than, say, 8 apps installed. It's been like this for the past two or three revisions.
There are lots of other e-book players but the Kindle store far and away blows them all out of the water in terms of popularity and success. Could this not raise the ire of regulators? It seems like a pretty heavy-handed attempt to lock in an emerging and potent market by stopping them from utilizing competing services.
Of course, it's optional, but still seems pretty dickish. At least it'll piss of the larger assholes (book publishers).

Which is why I said "lol".

Do they do that at all in Russia? Still, 100%...lol. Putin doesn't even care anymore.
Kobo Vox?

That sounds EXACTLY like an Android Tablet to me!
They've created their own little extortion racket.
Face it; Sites need an alternative to paid subscriptions and advertisements.
Or they could just reasonably stop taking requests from a company that submits fraudulent ones.
Until someone releases an Adblock 2?
Most sites simply just don't understand that ads and sub services aren't acceptable to a large portion of their userbase.

I think the son in line for succession has been personally groomed and had his brainwashing ensured by Kim's regime.
Presumably, the initially invested money would have been doing nothing productive in the first place.

Take a picture of yourself giving a bucket of KFC (tm) to people in a homeless shelter.
Even if it's a bit defective or scuffed, this is still a cheap, decent tablet.
Far better than a bloody BlackBerry one, that's for sure.
Indeed.
It IS an interesting idea though. Watson's heuristic analytical capabilities might make it a great match for checking for prior art and existing patents.

Actual facts don't factor in.
The RIAA is certainly sympathetic to the plight of the MPAA
I think his point was that the original mannequins were probably made from a cast made from a human.

But if all of it so far is going into public domain (perhaps I'm wrong on that point, I really don't know) then there's nothing to takedown?
IIRC corporates have sued over confidential information that was recorded on unlisted (but still public!) satellite channels.
I think the DNC may have also took action over the Clinton video that appears in Spin (long before, of course), but I can't remember exactly.
