    Diff is, ms may violate my privacy by sharing w china. Google violates my privacy by recording everything I do and analyze it to make money. More disturbing, they try to only show me the portion of the internet they think would be most profitable. Try doing the same google search on different computers.

    this is why I don't use gmail, chrome, google docs, android, or nest.

    I don't know anything about the security and backup practices other than what I read in the summary. but I'm sure that the industry has "standards of care" which define what reasonable precautions should be taken, and it would be a matter for a lawsuit whether or not the company lived up to the standard of care or if they didn't and should be liable for damages. It would be unsurprising if a startup went broke before they could pay any damages, and if the case turns out to be that the owner fled in the night, then he'll be tracked down and sued personally. it's a non-story.

    the interesting part is about the criminal. First he hacks in and tries to extort money. That at least is rational. he wanted an easy buck, he saw an opportunity, so he went to take what he could. but in this case, when the guy couldn't get his money, he went in and destroyed everything. it's like somebody who breaks into a bank and burns all the money. what kind of person does that? its irrational and the sign of a fundamentally unbalanced person.

    put it another way, pardon the rush to extremist analogies. It's reasonable to expect a bank to take precautions to keep all the money safe, but is it reasonable to expect them to protect against people walking in and shooting up the place? not to take money, but just to take lives and cause destruction. some may argue that banks are high value and should plan on being secure from any threat. ok, then what about schools? or a playground? or a mcdonalds? when you're dealing with people who are ready to burn things down, you can't prepare for or defend against that. And that is scary.

    100% wrong. Maybe the company should have been better prepared, but the fact is they were attacked by a criminal who first hijacked and then destroyed possibly an enormous amount of value in people's data. He, she or they committed a horrible crime and should go to jail for a long time.

    just as the body needs a skeleton to stand, or a pool needs side walls to function as a pool, a free market only works within a regulatory structure. You set the rules, you press play, and the market does its free market thing and makes movies.

    the type of movies that are made depend on the dynamics of the market, which depend on the structure of regulation and policy in place. So if you're smart, and if you're mindful, you can design rules such that the market makes great movies. and if you're dumb, or drool over freetard dogma, then you get all excited about certain rules, even though the marketplace ultimately sucks.

    so under the rules of the last 80 years, hollywood made some fantastic movies. some were great, some were shit, but in general a while new artform was born that can tell stories unlike any other art form.

    , so under your freetard pirates bay rules, the type of movies we would have are 1) cat videos on you tube and 2) streaming pr0n. I love Maru as much as the next guy, but I prefer my way to your way (and oh yeah so does everybody else so kiss it).

    You don't even know whether there will be a watch.

    Except it is already a proven market, with large companies and some great products.

    to date the market has been proven to suck. even the most successful product, the nike fuel band, is shutting down. the only way apple gets involved is if they can flip the bitch and make something new.

    It is unlikely to get involved in consoles...low turn over...no profit margins already a premium market. It could make money on *cough* apps, but android is there first and in droves cheaper with a larger ecosystem...and it does not make the same margins from software.

    apple already makes consoles... TV consoles. it just needs to flip the switch and open up an app store and allow games. then roll it out to the millions of already existing apple TVs in the market.

    The bottom line is Apple can't even right drivers as fast as Linux...they run 15 year old games as a tenth of the speed.

    true for mac gaming, which is retarded. but false for iOS gaming, which leads the pack. didn't you see the support for new and better games in iOS 8, and the gaming tools in Swift? growth growth growth.

    obviously you don't stream, so you don't know the fuck you're talking about. here's the deal, honky:
    1)streaming services carry different movies, and all have some "diamond in the roughs"
    2) movies are changing all the time, so you never know what new thing could be available
    3) the UI of each service makes it hard to find new good stuff, let alone compare to other services.

    you should check it out yourself, go to canistream.it and click through the top movies on each service. you'll see that a lot jumps out at you and it's really easy to do.
