Many businesses find the idea of people doing their personal banking on the clock unconscionable. The firewall package we have when it has a hiccup reverts back to doing HTTPS interception, so for us turning it off is an option rather than it being defaulted to off.
Between Classic Mode and Rosetta you had recourse over a decade or more. I understand that some people like to run decades-old software because it still works, but no one in their right mind still needs Claris Works when they could be using Open Office/Libre Office. Similarly there isn't really a big reason to hang on to applications compiled for decade old hardware if you are running brand new hardware. The last gaming rig I built had a graphics card that was near the price of a Mac Mini. If your gaming rig is 1/3 the price of a decent Mac it sucks.
For the small percent who does root their phone it isn't a huge concern, but considering the most popular firmware claims around 10 million installs compared to the 1 billion total Android devices there are a ton of people left in the dark. Most of the people I know who use Android devices get the free phone, the 1 phone, or get the stupid Casio "rugged" phone. All of those options are going to leave them in the dark on updates.
I spend quite a bit more for my devices than $100, but that's because I hate being locked to a carrier or paying the big four carriers' fees. Paying more for my device and having a sub-$30 bill compared to the $79+ bill I'd have for a smartphone on Verizon is a no brainer to me. Even buying the ultra bestest Samsung phone at $700 outright buyout isn't a big deal when I'll save that much in half the two year contract time.
Even if they don't pay it is of no loss to the carrier since they do not have the subsidy. If one buys a new iPhone 5S and has it stolen after two or three billing cycles and stops paying their bill the carrier loses out on that subsidy. If one steals a brand new iPhone 5S and stops paying after two or three billing cycles the carrier is out nothing and in most cases made great profit since no part of the bill was subsidy (also most prepaids can't accept stolen devices as easy as paid providers who control the network).
There are converters for the older versions, which I won't say makes it worth it, but they are there. I used them on the Mac version so we didn't have to upgrade above 2000 era Office. Mac converter is just drag and drop, doesn't allow you to save back to it, not that anyone would want to.
That's absolutely where I am with it also. I've had no fewer than 5 calls from Adobe before and after the CC business and I've told them each time I'm never buying another one of their products until they sell perpetual licenses. They insist they won't buckle on the issue, but I believe they will have to eventually.
It would be harder to resist CC if they put in a single compelling feature in a product since CS6, but that simply hasn't been the case.
Bob had Rover, who outlived Clippy. Rover also had the best password security. Forget your password? Rover will just reset it for you. No questions asked.
It wasn't a secret at any point that Amazon could remove content. In this case they removed content that they didn't legitimately have a right to. If one purchased it and wanted to put in the effort to contact customer service they would get credit equal to an likely above their purchase. Amazon takes care of people.
I think many authors if they knew their work was being sold on Amazon by a third party would try to get that corrected. It's pretty apples and oranges the difference between that and other bookstores being shut out is pretty obvious. If nothing else Adobe is shooting itself and smaller publishers in the foot in the middle of a race that Amazon and Apple are already winning.
That's great for the 10 million of the 900+ million Android devices out there. I'm going to wager that many of the Cyanogenmod users aren't the Facebook type anyway. It's also only for Cyanogenmod 10.2, which is just recently considered stable and not supported on a great many devices.
It was because it was largely useless to use selective availability at the time as the only people who were punished were those using low grade GPS receivers. Military wasn't subject to it and golf courses, surveyors, and our enemies could get around it via base stations.I'm sure this is intentionally paranoid but a GPS is essentially nothing more than a clock, with more expensive GPS being better clocks.
There was never a good reason to use McAfee or Norton. Not even in dial-up days when you'd buy software boxed. In those days Panda was available and way less of a nightmare than the competition.
It is a running tenet in the entertainment industry that a download equals a lack of a sale. Common sense tells people that an unemployed basement dweller, third worlder who doesn't have a legitimate method to access content, or cheap soul who spends nothing on entertainment are lost causes for a sale.
I wonder to what extent piracy is being cited on tax claims from these guys. Flawed logic could save them heaps a year.

Root it and put CyanogenMod on it. That was the first thing I did with my phone. Also, the Verizon S3 is fully loaded with Verizon Crapware, not just the Samsung crapware.

With the low low interest rates you would be a fool not to refinance your house and take out a home equity loan to purchase said aspirin.

A balaclava or ski mask in a bar in California I would guess would be more disconcerting than wearing Google Glass.
WoW needs this and then a $10 death penalty waive option.

Here's to hoping Google can force them to change their name again.
I'm no expert on irony, but I'm pretty sure calling a troll stupid is ironic.
I always shop for a phone that is supported by Cyanogenmod for that very reason.
As good as that sounds, if the government owns the lines they'll start spying on people's communications. *ducks*
Macintosh obviously.

You really can't compare it to other plugins. It's such a far leader in being the worst that it is like comparing stepping on an ant to the holocaust.
I don't think Adobe could really just decide not to fix this and ignore the researchers who brought it up. Hardly something to praise.

Exactly.

Once again
People just loved the Flickr redesign.
