People have been talking about global warming/climate change/politically-correct-term since the last two decades but some countries just keep their head in the sand. *COUGH*U.S.A.*COUGH*
But there's nothing to subsidize is you're making a private copy of something you've already bought/paid a license for, unless you think I should have to pay for a DVD twice because I keep a ripped copy for a media server?
Anyone know how to completely block auto-playing videos on Safari? And by completely, I mean prevent them from loading the video file at all. Those stupid things, that I'm never going to watch (fuck you, advertisers), are eating into my monthly cap.
I find that a 23", 1080p display is enough to watch Netflix. As a bonus, it means I can easily tolerate the lower quality setting which Netflix Canada had to add for us because most of our ISPs have ridiculously low monthly caps.
That's why I use a dumb, feature-less 23" widescreen computer monitor as my TV, connected to an external AppleTV box.
New AppleTV with new features that I'd like? I buy a new AppleTV.
Competitor offering something better/different? I can ditch Apple.
This is the best for the environment (recycling a tiny box instead of a whole display), best for our wallets (tiny boxes are less expensive) and best for us (if we're not tied to a particular brand, they have to keep competing so our next upgrade is still the same brand).
And that's why I'm glad they decided to drop the idea. It means that for the last year they've been focused on updating the tiny AppleTV box which a lot more people will be able to afford compared to the cost of a new TV.
I'd also like to see an update to the iPod shuffle. A tiny e-ink indicator (bars, dots, whatever) to know the battery life in 20% increments.
And a dozen javascript libraries for stupid shit like mouse-overs that should be done in CSS anyway, or high resolution background images that are 2MB JPEG downloads that use over 6MB of RAM each once decompressed. Backgrounds aren't meant to be high-resolution, crisp and detailed. Learn to use background-size: cover, it works well even with lower resolution images because stretching will blur them a bit, making the compression artifacts even less noticable.

Star Wars - Imperial March on Eight Floppy Drives by MrSolidSnake745.
It's also funny that eight floppy drives beat the crap out of the standard PC speaker for playing the Monkey Island theme.
Pirates? There's other choices, you know.
What about one of those Atom x5/x7 vs a Celeron G1840?
This is the third news about massive amounts of accounts being hacked in less than eight hours.
I disabled Java and Flash, my problem is auto-loading and auto-playing HTML5 videos.
All the solutions I have found seem to only stop the auto-playback but not the actual loading.

I tried to read your comment three times. My head hurts. It reminds me of this xkcd.

Is that the technical term?
Not everyone lives in a gigantic American-style house.
(insert joke about needing to install wind turbines near locations where there's a lot of hot air, i.e. politicians)

I hate people who do that...

The best first step is to install Steam, because Windows is only used for gaming.
How does it feel to be on the other side of a generalization, timothy?
Maybe DICE decided to mine bitcoins with our computers.
Passenger: Hello, my name is Steve.
Driver: Hello, Steve.
Passenger: Here's a 20 dollars gift.
Driver: Well thank you, Steve. By the way, would you like a ride somewhere? It's free.

They found FOUR, what does that tell you?
Is that a new Mega Man boss?
