No, in this particular case, the villains are both. Greedy asshole ISP with arbitrary data cap and stupid asshole software company with braindead decisions.
I'm vegan because of an ethical choice that I made years ago. I don't want to eat animals or animal products. Yet ArmoredDragon seems to know everything and decided that it wasn't the reason and I'm a vegan only because I want low protein, low fat, high carb.
Here's another generalization: all meat eaters are murderous psychopaths and so should all kill each other while hunting.
If you have the space, buying the required tools to build 99% of everything (including larger tools) is only going to cost a few thousand dollars.
That's the two main problems right there. A lot of people can't afford "a few thousand dollars" to buy tools. And a lot of people living in towns and cities live in apartments: they don't have the space and they can't run most tools because of the noise and dust generated by them.
I think every generation puts its stamp on things so that they can feel connected to them as something from their era instead of being "those things that my father and grandfather did".
The XBox One and the PS4 can't do it with the same power requirement as the Apple TV. You'd have to be insane to use an Xbox One or PS4 to do things like watching Netflix. It's even worst if you live somewhere where electricity isn't green.
Good:
- more powerful CPU/GPU
- app store (yeah, games!)
- costs USD$50 less than an iPod touch and runs the same apps from what I understood
- entry-level has 16GB, same as the entry-level iPod touch
Bad:
- the remote has a touch area, which is bad for gaming and annoying for surfing. Swipping makes sense when it's part of the display and you touch what you see, otherwise not so much. There's a disconnect between your movements and what's going to happen on the TV.
- too expensive (more than twice the cost of the old version, way too expensive compared to the competition)
- no optical audio output, which makes the new box for those of us with custom non-HDMI audio setups: useless (can't connect to it) or even more expensive (we now need to buy an HDMI splitter AND an HDMI audio converter)

Damn right they do!
What do you mean, you get royalty checks? I didn't vote for you!
Fuck you, stupid dinosaur. Oh wait, I suppose evolution is also a myth so you can't be a dinosaur since they never existed.
A sasquatch is an ancient alien.
it's an alien.

Isn't it 16GB and 32GB?

Well, Ford did bring us the affordable Model T...
Depends on your definition of "high quality", while they're not 1080p+ IPS displays they're not junk either.
InterPlanetary File System
There, I did part of Soulskill's job. Where's my check?
If Slashdot taught me anything about acronyms, surely IPFS means "Internet Protocol First Shooter".
Yep. And the next versions are 4040, 8008, 8080, 8085, 8086, 8088... and after a while it gets a little complicated.
"apps" is just short for "applications".
Maybe you meant programs?
It must be extremely frustrating to write music with such a program.
Mac OS X Quick Look, of course!
And Apple's computers aren't analog, Einstein...
Yeah, I think I need more coffee...
You can get 7" HDMI displays on eBay for much less than USD$50.
Me too.
ALL GLORY TO THE WOZ!
Yeah, I'm not going to let a giant multinational company dictate how I use my browser.
I'm going back to Safari.
