Amercians and most of the western world just don't seem to get it. If there is money to be made we shall turn a blind eye... but if there is political currency to be spent and oil to be had you must pound third-world countries into submission.
Sad thing is MOST Americans could give a rat's ass!
I pay for the RIGHT to copy what ever the fuck I want on to whatever media I've been taxed on.
That IS my RIGHT and I could give a shit how many hairs they split. Sharing MY music with my GLOBAL friends is NO different then sahring with my friends down the street. The fact that they claim a physical product must change hands to be considered legitimate sharing is just splitting legal hairs. IMFO
And according to these same laws, every school in Canada should be charged under the same act they want to charge file sharers with whenever they play "records" at their school dances! Oh yeah... get your check books out kids! No more sock hops! Fuckin' idiots!
- reprinting an article without the copyright owner's permission;
- playing records at a dance without the copyright owners' permission;
- giving a public performance of a play without permission;
- photocopying articles for a class of students without permission; and
- taping your favourite band at a music concert without permission.
Not infringement:
- quoting a few lines of the article in a research paper (fair dealing);
- playing records at home;
- giving a public performance of a play by Shakespeare (no copyright exists/public domain);
- obtaining permission from the author and paying a fee to him or her (if requested) in order to use an article; and
- borrowing a musical tape from a friend to copy onto a blank tape for private use (a royalty payment to the owner of the song rights has been paid when the blank tape was purchased).
So FUCK THEM and my Karma! It shows how far behind these folks are... they still refer to music on tapes!
Cause you are certainly going to need all the help you can get.

The Nazi rise to power brought an end to the Weimar Republic, a parliamentary democracy established in Germany after World War I. Following the appointment of Adolf Hitler as chancellor on January 30, 1933, the Nazi state (also referred to as the Third Reich) quickly became a regime in which Germans enjoyed no guaranteed basic rights. After a suspicious fire in the Reichstag (the German Parliament), on February 28, 1933, the government issued a decree which suspended constitutional civil rights and created a state of emergency in which official decrees could be enacted without parliamentary confirmation.
In the first months of Hitler's chancellorship, the Nazis instituted a policy of "coordination"--the alignment of individuals and institutions with Nazi goals. Culture, the economy, education, and law all came under Nazi control. The Nazi regime also attempted to "coordinate" the German churches and, although not entirely successful, won support from a majority of Catholic and Protestant clergymen.
As soon as the Linux community gets its collective head out of its ass and realizes that Apple IS the standard of nix's be it Linux or Unix.
Linux has had a few years to really get things going and for a while there IBM and Novell had a real head of steam but NO ONE - ang I mean NO ONE in the Linux community seems to be able to continue the momentum.
Listen if Jobs can come up with some sort of super-frickin'-duper translation layer from PowerPC to INTEL why the hell can't Linux to the same with Windows to Linux translation. But translation only as a means for transition. Not as a yeah I run Linux and I'm cool but I have all my comfy Widows apps running with CoderWeavers or VMware... that NOT a reasonable long term strategy... of course who in the Linux community has any sort of long term strategy? Anyone... well... yeah I thought so.
You see the Linux community is still fighting over Gnome vs whatever and the latest kernel mutations instead of practical implementations that would actually cause a regular Windows user to switch. Get it!?
Do you think for a second the public at large really knows about the power of UNIX that Jobs spouts off about at every opportunity. Of course not.
But they do recall the inx thingy, ah whats it called, you know the penquin thingy... oh yeah Linus the Peanuts OS!
If Apple every unleashes OS X to the masses for the X86 Linux will feel the pain as much as Windows will... if not more.
Yeah sure Apple will support you until like M$ we take the bext ideas from their developer base and fold them into their OSes as "new" features.
Yup... now that's what I call develoer support!
What an ASSHOLE! Steals from the Open Source community, steals from his developers and suck innovation out of the market at every turn... sound familiar.
Your point about iTunes neglects to mention the fact that Apple with iTunes has such a huge hold over the sonsumer because iTunes DOES NOT work with other MP3 players.
So really what Apple continues to do is sign "exclusive" or rather competition limiting deals that lock user into their hardware the same way M$ locks users in with their software.
I call BULLSHIT on all this talk about innovation. Maybe a bit on the hardware side. But we are STILL talking about negotiated monpolies here NOT true market innovation.
If Jobs has the BALLS and the STOMACH to go head to head with everyone will all his sucking and blowing about innovation would let iTunes wrk with other MP3 players at least a bit and would let Windows users truly switch their OSes without having to buy Apple's over-priced chic shit.
Jobs has simply given Apple another three or four years to RESELL the very same Apple users a new system using another CHIP... not much business innovation their. And all those MAC zealots will line up for the next big shiny box cause its Apple dude! What a lot of BULLSHIT.
BTW... isn't OS X based on BSD? How can Apple take the best part on an Open-Source product and only give back the parts they don't care if the community has... what happened to the entire works?
The Open Source community should really be pressuring APlle a LOT more to be a little more candid about its true business practices with respect to Open Source.
OS X is a great OS but unfortunately becasue Jobs is a narrow-minded snob 90% of the PC market will never know... thats 90% Steve! What a bloodly retard!
There I feel better... just got to wipe my ass and I'll be out of here!
Again M$ makes it sound like they're doing the planet a favour. In the meantime they're doing everything in their power to lock consumers in on the serve-side and are patenting every flippin' conceivable method or process that could somehow be linked to their products
No matter how stupid these patents may seen at the time, make no mistake about it M$ will fore go a war on file formats and use patents to maintain their proprietary standards.
IMHO any government in hte FREE world has an obligation to ensure that the information they are creating on the public's behalf be done so using non-proprietary and open software. This is especially true given the ever-gorwing threat of patents.
IBM ditched their PC business days before they announced the CELL chip was shipping and given the fact that IBM claims the CELL can multiple OSes simultaneously and has 10 or so cores my guess is all you would need to do would be to write virtualizing software for the CELL and then run anything you want on top of that.
Because the CELLs got so much horsepower the user wouldn't notice a performance hit at all!
The CELL if it proves as capable a some claim could very well be an INTEL and more importantly a WINTEL killer.
I think APPLE isn't talking to INTEL about their chips but they are instead talking to IBM about the CELL.
Please why does garbage like this even get reported anywhere let alone on/.
I think/. needs a new category for Bullshit and FUD. [BS-FUD] And not just for M$ but every organization that pinches these humugous loaves of crap out!
Seriously... if everyone really started to see how quickly this shot piles up they are more likely to smell its quality and relevance too!
Bill Gates speaks for the working man. Now there's an oxymoron if I ever heard one... sure did!
[Bill Gates - Working Man] Fur Sure!
I think if Bill were a little more honest he would realize that much of the problem with information isn't overload but in fact the tools we use to create and manage it. *cough-ffice*
Hey didn't this very same guy say that by 2000 we'd all be talking to our computers like Star Trek.. hell his OS has barely learned to doodle on a tablet let alone talk to us!
Bill... reduce your meds. Get some real fresh air and for god's sake get your head out of Steve's ass because, based on his recent comments, its obviously irrating the hell out of him!
Just how fuckin' stupid does the MPAA and RIAA think people, err, their customers really are?
1) First you sue the shit of of your customer base. 2) Then you cripple the product you're trying to sell them. 3) Now they want to link very personal biometric data to a movie or music purchase. 4) Oh and I almost forgot... profit!
It doesn't surprise me that Steve and Bill feel compelled to lash out at anyone who is doing better then they every did. And it must really piss them off that Google's and Apples iPOD successes sprang from originality and real innovation... the not extend, embrace and buyout method M$ has relied on for it's "innovation" for last few decades.
XBox360 Smoke and Mirrors!
Ballmer obviously didn't get the memo from the XBox360 boys about the problems they were having getting those Apple G5s to fit into that tiny little XBox360 case. Here a couple of photos that proof what's really powering those XBox360 videos and more importantly game demos... and it ain't in the case M$ has been showing everyone. Hell the damn thing isn't even plugged in! http://www.talksudbury.com/forums/index.php?showto pic=381
You make an excellent point about why the current movie industry is doomed to failure if they do not adopt a more customer focused and modern approach to movie distribution.
Unfortunately, I think the MPAA along with the RIAA will continue to lobby hard, spend millions if not billions trying to defend a business model that is too old and stale to live much longer.
As a Canadian I can assure you I have no love loss for the CRTC. They have screwed up more technology related businesses then Bill Gates.
What I find interesting is their reasoning for their ruling. To keep the big guys in check so they don't squash the lil' guys with their legislated monopolies. WTF!
What about Microsoft Canada or Union Energy (DUKE Energy) or any number of legislated monopolies that the Canadian government has allowed for decades and done NOTHING about let alone regulate them to protect consumers.
Seems to me that the CRTC is selectively posturing and beating their ancient chests more for the politicans then the consumer.
Oh and enough with this 911 bullshit as a means to limit VOIP. why can't I have the choice of a "911 button" for $3.0 a month and get my telephone services anywhere I like. No that would be giving Canadian consumers a real choice.
There I feel better... so much for my karma but when it comes to the US and more importantly George Bush tell ing Canadians what's best for us I get just a tad pissed off.
Canadians are well aware of our responsibilites to the "consumer" nations but we also embrace innovation and free thought. Yes, we have our share on monopolistic corporations and media types but we have a balance that falls closer to the middle between consumer/citizen and corporation/government.
the days of the US stomping around the globe demanding everyone play ball with there ball and rules is FAST coming to an end. there are bigger more innovative players on the field and no amount of saber rattling and retoric will make them go away so...
In closing... FUCK OFF GEORGE! YOU PISS OF SHIT SELLOUT... THOSE ARAB PRINCES STILL GOT YOU OVER THE BARREL (of oil)AND GIVE IT TO YOU EVERY CHANCE THAT GET.
Personally, I think Ebola is better for mankind the those pieces of genetics called the Bush family will ever be.
Screw karma... 'W' far too big of an asshole to care about karma.
Maybe he won't be so quick to sue the living shit out of his shrinking fanboys club for trying to generate more hype and buzz for Apple beyond that stupid MP3 player!
Once the iPOD sales start to shrink... Mr. Jobs is going to wish he didn't stuff his best supports for the sake of an early headline or keynote announcement.
It's NO wonder Apple has not grow beyond the chic little boutique computer maker that Jobs runs like some cult of originality rather then a business.
Guess that explains why I can't buy the Apple OS on TigerDirect eh!:-)
I agree with John. Gaming HAS NOT EVOLVED much beyond extending the eye candy and the various platform francise reruns of the same basic gaming genre id made famous. Oh yeah man what about online gaming and XBox Live... plsssst! It was better without the consoles. Much better.
Now, I started playing Pychonauts last night and this is one game that definitely breaks the mold of convention. Yes its a platformer and yes its a collect'm sorta puzzler but IT'S DIFFERENT. Maybe TOO different for the numbed masses but at least its original for god's sake!
And that IS the point of John's article. Without some seriously original and creative games the next-gen consoles will NOT enjoy the massive growth of the predecessors. Better eye candy will NOT sell more consoles. SEGA proved that with the Dreamcast.
At least Nintendo is trying to innovate... TRYING NEW IDEAS... you know... innovating like MS and others have been claiming they've been doing since the very first PC/game console was born...again Plsssst!
Granted good design does improve the message delivery but at this level they are supposed to read. And at the very least they have enough people around them who can read that design should not come into play.
