  1. Remember when... on Lawsuits Seek To Turn Chimpanzees Into Legal Persons · · Score: 1

    Remember when we questioned whether or not a monkey could own a copyright? Well, if this happens...

  2. Re:BBC's most effective copyright strategy in effe on First Few Doctor Who Episodes May Fall To Public Domain Next Year · · Score: 4, Informative

    Namely, destruction of all extant copies.

    BBC destroyed the only copies of most of those episodes decades ago. The only existing copies are some that were sent overseas and temporarily lost, so they were not recovered and destroyed. Others only exist in the form of home-made speaker-to-microphone reel-to-reel audio tapes.

    Actually, "wiping" was a rather common practice for every broadcaster back then. Tape was expensive, etc.

  3. Although I must add... on First Few Doctor Who Episodes May Fall To Public Domain Next Year · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It probably won't hit PD in America until 3025. Like any other cultural work.

  4. Well on Nokia Had an Android Phone In Development · · Score: 2

    I did this mockup after the rumor about Huawei buying Nokia, its relevant again. http://i.imgur.com/ZOTnXTd.png Nokia Nexus 4.8 could have been fun

  5. Well on Windows 8's Picture Passwords Weaker Than Users Might Hope · · Score: 2

    As a joke while testing one of the betas, I tried to see if I could beat my friend's picture password. Somehow I got it on the first try.

  6. Clarification on DRM on Google Announces Android 4.3, Netflix, New Nexus 7, and Q Successor Chromecast · · Score: 1

    http://developer.android.com/about/versions/jelly-bean.html#43-media This actually says that they created a modular framework that can be used to better implement DRM.

  7. Of course this is happening on Secure Boot Coming To SuSE Linux Servers · · Score: 1

    Microsoft only endorses SUSE because Novell/Attachmate pays them off for the patents that they've allegedly infringed.

  8. Actually on The Chromebook Pixel Is Real, and Expensive · · Score: 1

    This isn't my first time contribution. Forgot my password, but then saw you have a Twitter login option now. More convenient But still, $1300 for a web browser. Are you serious? A Macbook Air costs that much and can do the same and more. Heck, an Ultrabook is just as thin and does that too with Windows. Leave Chrome OS to the netbooks and specialized budget devices, please..
