The submission has the main cause in it. Fear of losing. Our society has come to treasure the status quo so much they aren't willing to risk what they have to make something else. The use of Patents is just one of the ways we are using to keep what's ours. Take all our toys away and watch how creative we become.
Perhaps if there were "WTF" moderation since physics has less to do with the ozone hole than environment and chemistry. But yes, flaimbait would have been more appropriate.
Humans also have a biologically induced need to cooperate and be social creatures.
Yes hence team sports and armies. A large group will band together and form a society and then seek out any who are different and challenge them. Man cannot feed one part of his psyche and neglect the other. If you try to suppress one it will find a way to manifest. Suppress it long enough and it will violently erupt.This is the mistake man has made repeatedly throughout history.
It's called Starbucks. Of course Apple doesn't own it so they would probably open iBucks and sue to have Starbucks shut down for stealing their look and feel.
Killing might not happen but war will never end. It will be a trade war or a technology war or power struggle. Man has a biologically induced need to compete. Sports are an outlet to keep us from killing each other. During prohibition moonshiners who got bored ended up racing their cars and now we have NASCAR. On Wall Street everybody is always looking to "win" by spotting a trend before everybody else.
Probably...yes...realistically...Someone will root the device before the end of the month and CyanogenMod (LOL my auto-correct wants Carcinogenicity) will be ported to it days later. But yes Amazon would love to be able to prevent you from rolling your own since they are selling the Fire at a loss. They know the vast majority will not bother.
Amazon knows they need to get ahead of this iPod as media device trend and they also know they are WAY behind with little hope of catching up without making a concession or two in the short term.
You seem to be able to keep yourself firmly grounded while those around you continually put you on a pedestal. I have read that you were in some rough straights prior to getting the Star Trek role. Does that play a part in keeping you from elevating yourself and what other factors help you?
I support the BlackBerry ecosystem and while the app world icon is there RIM hasn't done anything to really get it's consumer to look at it. In the last week I have had to show executives and businessmen alike how they can get apps they need for their BB and they are very long term BB users. The people using the app world are the younger tech savvy who could have found the apps elsewhere if they needed to. RIM needs to be more proactive in engaging it's customers at the UI. They have come a long way with the Desktop Manager and switching from your old phone to a new one is dead easy now but most of RIM's core customer base still is not aware there is an app world. RIM needs to put the app world interface in its Desktop Manager if they hope to expand the reach of the app world within it's realm of influence and they need to do it fast. Unfortunately that takes resources and all of theirs are tied up in shoehorning QNX on their next generation mobile phones.
They made it successful because they made it visible to every person who ever purchases their product. I have worked with Blackberries since they were only two-way pagers and I was always frustrated looking for apps for my then cutting edge Blackberry 6230. I had to go from one site with one app to another. I finally stumbled across Handango and one of my first thoughts was RIM should inform their customers about this site to make it easier to get apps for their Blackberries. Apple just took the next logical step and created the gateway themselves.
Android is a Linux. XCode is free, and there is a much larger fraction of free apps on Linux than on OSX, especially excluding darwinports/fink apps. iPhone started the whole app store concept, Apple created a huge market for small application vendors.
I just don't see the $99 as much of a disincentive. If I'm willing to donate days / weeks / months of my time why would $100 even be a question?
Android is a fork of JAVA(DALVIK) that runs on the Linux kernel. OSX and iOS run on the MACH kernel and BSD *nix. Applications run on the COCOA API. As far as iPhone starting the whole app store concept...Yeah RIGHT. Handango and PocketGear have been around since 1999 dishing out all things Palm, Windows Mobile, Blackberry, Symbian, and Android.
Have all your video transcribed to post it notes. When you want to watch hire a local school kid to flip through the pages real fast and read the dialog aloud.
Back in the day... Hulu had no ads Pandora only had banner ads along the sides of the player As a medium becomes more popular it also becomes more marketable.
I do my gaming on my PS3. Mainly because I can't rent PC games the way that I can rent PS3 games.
HUH? I switched back to PC gaming in 2009. I had resisted Steam due to their DRM but I could resist no longer when games I wanted to play became available for under $10. Now I rarely play games on my PS3 except for exclusives (God of War, Resistance, Little Big Planet). It gets used to stream from my media server. I tried many different server oriented OS's and ended up with a Windows 7 Ultimate PC with the media serving software I wanted installed.
a cheap netbook is probably sufficient to handle the demands of a small number of users wanting to access files.
Which brings me to your next statement. Today's consumer is quickly becoming more interested in accessing multimedia from a central PC. They don't know from PC/Server but they do know they can have a movie on one PC and watch it on another. I doubt your netbook would stand up to that punishment. Especially if more than one movie was streamed. I did use an old PC but I ordered RAM, HDD and CPU upgrades from...wait for it...Newegg.

It is a bug to Facebook as in oops they can still tell we are doing it.

Never mind...Troll was indeed appropriate.

I would personally never, ever buy or use a telecom or networking product stemming from a PRC-based company.
You mean like Foxconn?

How about $149.00
Of course to get full functionality you'll need to root
and a quick install of your particular flavor ROM
Probably...yes...realistically...Someone will root the device before the end of the month and CyanogenMod (LOL my auto-correct wants Carcinogenicity) will be ported to it days later. But yes Amazon would love to be able to prevent you from rolling your own since they are selling the Fire at a loss. They know the vast majority will not bother.

You probably shouldn't have your router inside the microwave. I hear it might not be good for them.

DENNY CRANE!
How?
Perhaps like this!
I don't know what these guys actually stand for but I know they are definitely standing up. and their numbers are growing.

Daddy Warbucks...Is that you?

Woman 2.0
We'll see how long they can keep that up once ClearChannel relaunches IHeartRadio. I love Pandora but fear ClearChannel will be victorious.
At first glance I read "Healthcare Law Applied To Supreme Court". I bet that would get it struck down pretty fast!
Back in the day...
Hulu had no ads
Pandora only had banner ads along the sides of the player
As a medium becomes more popular it also becomes more marketable.
So the fact that Groupon counted the total amount of its daily-deal sales as revenue, including fees paid to merchants and didn't think anyone would notice had anything to do with it?
Or how about Zynga's founder Mark Pincus' own admission that he scammed the players to make money.
