... Normally I hate these kinds of stupid patents, but if this helps prevent others from implementing this nonsense, I might be able to get behind this...
Why do you think cable companies don;t allow al a carte channel selection? Most of these networks wouldn't exist without the cable forcing them on you.

Looks like the slippery slope towards the coming police state has gotten a few degrees steeper....
I have no problem with TV channels like Telemundo, just with people who come to America and expect to live here without actually working to fit in.
So you again hoist the mirror at yourself
"A 9th Circuit panel previously rule"
Time to investigate the panel's financial records and those of their close friends and family for "improprieties" I'd say....
Yes you are truly pathetic. Glad you like letting petty tyrants tell you what you can and can't do.
Want to live in America? LEARN the FREAKING LANGUAGE!
America needs this at ALL levels, especially the government.
You want to apply for goverment aid? Better speak and read the English language...
If what others are doing with a cell phone at a concert (especially how insanely loud they get) disturbs you, you have deeper mental issues.
Such a good little consumer sheep.
I don;t use my phone at concerts/movies.

Keep on bleating...
Go away little consumer sheep.
Not much of a life then if you can't make simple plans because you are always on call...
I don;t use a cell phone at a concert, but I'm not locking mine up for one either.
Be a good little consumer sheep if that's what makes you hard....

Doesn't mean we have to make it easier on the fascists to spy on us.
Just cross-program the cars with old Dukes of Hazzard re-runs if you want to see flying cars....
Do smart cars need lines on the road they can actually see or are the faded-to-nothingness lane and directional dividing lines sufficient?
More data for cops to use to write tickets or make up excuses for "civil forfeiture" since in theory self driving cars will kill ticket revenue....
No shit, what a way to sell people AGAINST this technology...
