This is why I hate javascript libraries like jQuery. The resulting code looks incomprehensible to someone who never used jQuery. Adding a 80KB+ download and another layer to a godamn interpreted language is just the cherry on top of the insanity.
I don't have cable or satellite, I don't listen to the radio, I don't read magazines, I live in a small town. Samsung's billions are all wasted because all I read about Android is how much of a clusterfuck and virus-magnet it is.
I don't buy things because of publicity or because others buy it. I buy something if it meets my requirements. In the same line of thinking, an Xbox or Playstation are useless if all you want to play is Metroid and Zelda.*
* Mario? Fuck him. Well, actually, I'd rather fuck Peach.
Look at my laser printer! It's like a 3D printer but it prints on paper using toner instead of depositing plastic in layers! Look at my CNC mill! It's like a 3D printer but it cuts material instead of depositing plastic in layers! Look at my pick-and-place machine! It's like a 3D printer but it places components on a circuit board instead of depositing plastic in layers!
There's already other people working on a pick-and-place machine. Granted the future goals of Board Forge are greater, but combining a multi-head CNC mill with a pick-and-place machine is not a new idea.
First, you could argue that there is currently more media in the form of books, movies and music than any person could ever read/watch/listen in a single lifetime, many times over. So the "need" to create "new" content relative to each person is currently nil and has been for decades. However, this is only a quantitative argument because media evolves with its era. Science-fiction from the 1940's seems simple and prehistoric from our 2013 point of view.
The second argument would be that there will always be authors. People who love to write stories and compose music will do so with or without financial compensation. It's the same with inventors, who create things because they have the need to create. If it becomes popular and the inventor starts making money because of it, that's only a nice side-effect.
Do not confuse needs with greed. People will always create, even after this concept of "currency" is long gone.

I remember when we turned those skyscraper lights into pixels and played Tetris.
It's still near freezing point where I live, but I think I'll follow your lead and start my air conditioning system as a symbolic statement too.
And then I'll crank up the heat to compensate.
You're good until 2181, buddy.
Let's go shopping!

Wow. You got first post, stayed on-topic AND managed to slip in something about 3D printers just to piss everyone off.
What next? A shredder for Arduinos?
Sony wanted to install rootkits on nVidia's computers.
Of course, what do you expect? Mickey Mouse isn't Scottish!
Do not look into the bright side of the Sun with remaining eye.
And that's what's bugging me. There should at least be an option to allow these things in multiplayer.
I paid for that game and now I can't play anymore. What the hell?
After looking at the interface of their television sets, I wouldn't trust them to fork anything.
Samsung doesn't control Android. It could be their undoing.

These days, I'd be more inclined to expect a 3D-printed Arduino phone.

Indeed. Can you also imagine a third "Aliens" movie?
Screwed up too, it would have been.
Yep.
