Things like companies embracing one technology instead of making something that would be cross compatible.. Other companies take standards and twist them to their own purposes making everyone else incompatible.
Yes It's Microsoft.
How about Napster, is it any coincidence that it's IE and WMP only. This is the begining of the new software monopoly. Microsoft will now instead of bundling all the software on a pc where everyone uses it becuase it's there is now getting companies to make MS only products. So one day you may be faced with being forced to use IE for bank transactions becuase your bank embraced the MS standard for trusted computing not any standard for trusted computing..
That's only the tip of the iceberg of what Microsoft can do to leverage it's desktop share to control those who even think of trying an alternative.
For exposing how the DMCA is abused but stupid lawsuits as these. Now maybe a Judge will actually read the DMCA and realize that our time is wasted in courts by badly written laws.
Also kid if you're reading this countersue them for installing software and locks on your pc without your permission. "Opening this case" does not qualify as accepting the terms.
"Microsoft said integration should mean simpler and more reliable computers."
I cant believe in the face of every virus MS has been responsible for spreading or allowing to spread due to crappy code they think a BIOS with MS system calls in it wont be a problem.
I can see the next ms.blaster worm that wipes your bios requireing you to replace the ROM.
Great Disney now that you've basically made the video store obsolete what are you going to do to help the 2 or 3 million people that make that industry function? MacDonalds does not have room for them and surely anyone working at a video store is not about to work at a fast food place.
Companies need to think of the social impact of their inventions lately. Putting 3 million people out of work takes 3 million people out of the circle of capitalism. I think those who are benefitting from capitalism the most are forgetting that they need small jobs to empower those who work them to make sales. Otherwise it's like trying to feed a cow in a desert.
So you're now dumping 1 Billion dollars into workers in India! Great.. now how much of that comes back to US companies?
Indians dont buy levi's, old navy. Many shun Coke and other similar products. They are not after the latest Jewel CD.
Hopefully people get the idea. Money spent overseas does not come back the way companies say it will. Even if we bring up their standard of living and such they socially buy locally.
Sattelite, AM, FM, UHF, TV, Power Lines.. it's a sea of radio waves. There is no way to isolate anyone to study the effects of any frequency of radio waves. So at best these studies are unscientfic and only serve those who think they can sue the wireless companies becuase they feel sick. When there are pleny of sources.
They said the inventor could of been a penny billionaire just by the amount of devices it has been installed on over the years. In fact he runs it on his home pc instead of Windows.
I'm sure MS wants to get something in there they can charge royalties on.
@Home died becuase they were not taking in enough money per user. The cable companies got the biggest cut and @home got around 10 dollars per customer. They asked for a increase to 13 dollars and were denied by all the cable companies and thus they declared bankruptcy.
Speed has nothing to do with the price. 98% of the users will always download a average amount of data per month with a few fluctuations here and there. Bandwidth is becoming cheaper due to the push for more data based services and you'll probably see a greater increase in speeds and push for higher technology that will enable 10M and 100Mbit speeds to end users eventually. This will probably come in the form of fiber to the curb which will have the capacity to perform at these rates.
Most bulk bandwidth plans are on a per gigabyte 95%tile rating so if you had customers at 512k or 3Mbit if they held the same pattern the averages would be the same becuase you're just moving the data faster and not more of it.
I mean lets get real here.. a movie most times is over a gig in size and not many people can acheive the full download speed anyways. (I'm speaking from a p2p perspective and not 2 buddies with t3's at work passing them on)
But I know many people who have bootlegs of movies and considering the 8 dollar plus snacks and quality/crowding issues at theatres nowdays it's a wonder nobody makes returns to the movie no matter how good it is..
I've avoided opening nights on fridays and just have gone on a sunday or monday when it's not crowded and I can sit comfortably with the wife.
Also they might want to look at these movies that they release that the preview was better than the movie. Such as the latest woody allen movie with christina ricci and the kid from american pie.. it was worthless.. I would of paid to see a slightly longer preview and been done with it instead of wasting 2 hours of my life watching what I thought was a boring movie.
I dont know how many people actually have paid for Trillan (I have) and god I wish I can get it to work on Linux (Kopete/Gaim are just not as good) but it does support Jabber as a downloadable plugin.
People that run Linux on the Xbox would love this as a superemulator. But some modern games will probably run at 2x the speed if they're not properly compiled. Of course there could be a speed switch for those problematic games.
At first I scoffed thinking what's the difference between this and a usb hard drive. But then I said ok lets at least read about it. I was surprised that it ran Linux (That screenshot threw me off) which provides some security (I'm sure it can be hacked to run some sort of AV program though) and that you can request your files if you're away.
My only problem is not with the unit itself but the fact that requesting large files will be a pain for many users due to the bandwidth restrictions on users to the standard 384/128k (SBC) and 768/128k (Verizon) requesting a large file will still take some time.
Because the Mirra server is built on a Linux software platform, the files stored on the appliance should be safe from worms and viruses that attack Windows-based servers, Mandeberg adds. While stored files may be infected with electronic vermin, the Mirra server itself is not vulnerable to most of the common infections.
I doubt it would ever happen but I'm sure more than a few network security analysts in the govt have many misgivings about a forein company controlling the largest telecom carrier in the US.
I'm sure many would point out that we've had no problems with the Panama Canal yet. But what happens if China saw it in it's interest to block passage of US ships. What would the US do? Go back and take it over again?
Now that can be easy enough. But what do you do when the company controlling the network your work across just changes the passwords across the whole network and then shuts down nearly the entire US network grid? What army of engineers will go out and replace each and every network device that's blocked?
It's obvious that nobody asked Bush the hard questions or maybe since he does not even use a cell phone, knows how vital these systems really are.

Is this just another spin on the tax for using the internet? What next?

Just a scheme by Intel to keep those who are riding the fence on their side.
Skynet is becoming active!
Is that it does not run on x86 or Opteron processors.

Free speech only applies until you are causing other people trouble..
If I dont like what's on the radio I can change stations or turn it off.
This is MY way of turning off the telemarketers and scammers calling my phone. If anyone's rights are being violated it's the consumers.
Just becuase I have a phone # does not mean they can call me.. it's the same reason I have a no soliciting sign on my door.
During the directioning vertical angle was important, due to the fact, that the other end of the link was 1400 meters above sea level.
I have routinely setup shots to a satellite that's the size of a volkswagon at 230,000 Miles using a 20M dish. It takes some time!
I'm sure Intel and others are probably going to be highly interested in this.
