It's bizarre to me that so many commenters seem to trust Google more than Microsoft. I get not trusting either of them. I don't understand trusting Google.
Those who don't object to gmail won't object to this, and MS eats a share of Google's gmail lunch. I'm surprised it took them this long. Not that I'll be using this or anything, but I admire this move from the surveillance as a service perspective.
Let me be sure I get it. If I think of "dog", the targeting system aims at the dog. If I think of a smile, the targeting system aims at people that bare their teeth. Am I getting this right? I just want to be sure the long-term customers can make proper use of this.
Steering people to a platform where they get used to being censored is the entire point of Web 2.0, isn't it? What, do you want people to learn how to host their own webpages again? Luddite.
With Netflix, you're paying for a limited-time license to view the material. Your license immediately expires when you stop paying Netflix.
Try your "I'm entitled to record and play back..." argument in front of a judge after you get kicked out of a movie theater for using a video recorder. Same thing. You're not going to get very far with that argument.
Not the same thing at all. How dare you compare my usage of a VCR with a person trying to take a camera copy at a paid exhibition at a movie theater? Are you spreading disinformation? Who pays you, coward? http://mentalfloss.com/article...
And if you can't stop live capture, then drm will only stop the truly law-abiding and the moderately lazy.
Live capture is law abiding. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a troll. http://mentalfloss.com/article.... Folks, seriously: never let a statement or implication about recording being illegal slide. Always correct this. It's worth arguing about.
I am entitled to record and play back my recording that I made. Caching a DRM copy of Netflix's actual file is inferior in terms of my rights. Breaking the DRM will definitely be some kind of violation. No thanks.
If they looked that far into it, why would anybody want a Kodi box at all, except for piracy? That's really the only reason to get one, whether they say "this is great for piracy!" or not.
It's spelled "privacy", and the files are stored on local servers in the Kodi users's homes.
Wow, you people lining up to identify with Google's interests are totally missing the point. Google is not your friend. This study is about Google paying royalties. Not you.
You think things are scary now? Just let Zuckerberg follow his plan and watch what happens. Polarizing pundits like to call the other side (whichever side) "fascist", but this could be the real deal if we don't keep Facebook in check.
Really, I was just about to cancel. But now I'm keeping Netflix for sure. When are the entitled Hollywood types going to realize that they are not in a position to ask for charity? Nolan, Coppola_ go back to work making content. You have no influence over where that content will be consumed. When I feel like going out and getting popcorn with friends or family, I'll go to the theater. I may or may not pay to see a first run movie when I do so. I may go to the cheap theater or a rivival house too. Nothing has changed. You two, though, Nolan and Coppola---you're TERRIBLE popcorn salespeople. Theater owners take note. Next year, talk about how the popcorn is better than microwave.
Dying as in not going to be used any more or dying as in not a way I really communicate with friends/relatives? Cause if the former, email will never die. If the later email has been dead a long time.
Right, because when you have legal forms or complex explanations to communicate with your friends and relatives, you've been using Twitter and Facebook for that since....2005? Why don't I believe you?

If metrics are poor, cc'ng the boss is the only way he will know what you are working on.

Arrange the turds in order from hottest to coldest! Good, good. You done with that? Good! Guess what's for dinner?

In the battle of Google vs RIAA, I will side with Google. I will side with any entity vs RIAA for that matter.
You have informed the world how to exploit you, then.
You are failing to recognize Google's present position of power.
Wow, you people lining up to identify with Google's interests are totally missing the point. Google is not your friend. This study is about Google paying royalties. Not you.

Wow! Are you going to tell me when Steam updates?
Yeah, Slashdot has got that covered.
But, that was actually available to everyone, and was about an actual change in customer form factor/platform. Nice try, though, M$ Coward.
So I hypothesize, so mote it be.
Available to EVERYONE? That's amazing. Glad I don't have to buy an Xbox One. Is this perhaps a promotional item rather than news?

How many Slashdotters have ever believed email was dying?
Ebert's main argument was that video games aren't art because art is a thing you do and show others.
Right.
He essentially claims anything that doesn't play out exactly the same for everyone who observes it is not an artistic expression.
Not right, and irrelevant after he revised his opinion after his experience with Beatles Rock Band.
He was not at all fair to animation either. He just didn't seem to know what to do with it.
Right, that's why he liked Miyazaki so much. Wait...something's not right. Oh! It's you.
Well said. Thanks.
