As for “music that can’t be pirated”, I ask again, what decade is this? That ship has not only sailed long ago, but has circled the world hundreds of times, sunk, been dragged up, turned into a tourist attraction, went out of business, and been gutted and retrofitted as a more profitable oil tanker.
Vogons - They are one of the most unpleasant races in the galaxy - not actually evil, but bad tempered, bureaucratic, officious and callous. They wouldn't even lift a finger to save their own grandmothers from the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal without an order, signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public enquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters. If you want to get a lift from a Vogon, forget it. They are vile and ill tempered. If you want to get a drink from a Vogon, stick your finger down his throat. If you want to annoy a vogon, feed his grandmother to the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal.
Frankly, I would have expected Dremel to come out with a small desktop CNC, not a 3D printer. Given the price of the Roland iModela, Dremel would probably have offered a much better, bigger and stronger machine for the same price.

You don't need Linux to be free of Adobe and Microsoft. Just a Mac. The OS itself can read/print PDF natively, YouTube has an HTML5 video option (and if it doesn't work, just set your user agent to iPad or something) and Microsoft isn't needed for the average user. iWork is more than sufficient, otherwise there's OpenOffice/etc.
Besides, it will never be the year of the Linux Desktop, no more than the year of the Mac Desktop. Desktops have been replaced by tablets and phones for most users. Most people don't need computers, just as they don't need a full set of power tools or a kitchen full of commercial-grade appliances. Desktops and laptops are back to the status of specialized power tools which only a few of us (relatively speaking) really need.
Unfortunately, when they saw their own electric cars had the potential to become more popular than their non-electric models, they decided to crush their own electric cars instead.
Slashdot Mirror
Those already existed long before Facebook. It's called forums.
Interactive? Music? Apple? That's easy. They're going to make "Music apps" for iPhones and iPads.
But those won't work on the iPod shuffle, the iPod nano and I'm guessing it won't work directly with the future Apple Watch either.
If it's music, I don't want to "interact" with it, I just want to listen to it.
Bonoo: Well, our music is so bad that nobody will want to pirate it.
Isn't Beats the second one and U2 the third?
It's worst than that. Some people were annoyed to be given a free U2 album by force.

What's underwhelming about it? That it can only print with PLA? The build volume? What do you mean by "more capable"?
Why isn't it already the default setting?
That's okay. There's always tomorrow, which is the same as today.
Good enough is the enemy of great.
Phil: Ned Ryerson?
Ned: Bing!
Phil: Bing.
You mean, there's no such fights between Windows and Linux users? Xbox, Playstation and Wii users?
Hell, just say something like "vi is better than Emacs" and you'll have a fight between Linux users.
Apple's notion is not "versus them", it's "versus good enough".
Android is good enough.
What about Stevia?
Have you seen the prices for sharks lately?

Care to tell us what really happened? Otherwise, your reply is as laughable as your opinion of this documentary.
GM really did crush all their EV1 for no obvious reason, I don't see anything to laugh about that.
What if I want a Model 3 but without the battery and the electric motor? I'm going to mod mine, Flintstones-style.
I forgot to put a link for those who never heard what happened.
Go watch Who killed the electric car? or just search for "crushed EV1" in your favorite search engine.
GM is committed to crush all competition.
Unfortunately, when they saw their own electric cars had the potential to become more popular than their non-electric models, they decided to crush their own electric cars instead.
Hurray! My car is way above average!
But the entire world's projected number of electric vehicles in 2020 depends on the price of electric cars and their batteries.
I'm also assuming those projected numbers came out the ass of MBAs.
More simple than that, just use binary. Empty square means zero... sorry I mean "off", filled square means "on".
Do I really have to explain the joke to you?
