I can buy an iPad and buy music and books and merchandise from Amazon. I cannot buy a Kindle and buy music from Apple. So I have less restrictions buying the Apple hardware than the Amazon hardware because Amazon software and content will run on more platforms.
Yeah, that isn't *ever* going to change because it would require Apple to do it, and they won't as you point out. So I don't have it backward at all.
I disagree with you on the walled garden argument - I can read Amazon Kindle books on the Kindle ecosystem series of devices, Apple devices, Android devices, Windows 8 devices, Windows Phone devices, Macs, Windows PCs, Linux PCs, Blackberrys and others.
I can read Apple iBooks on... Apple devices and Macs.
I can view Amazon Instant Video content on various Kindles, Apple devices, Android devices, Windows 8 devices, all the major consoles, tonnes of TVs natively, and of course Windows PCs and Macs.
I can view Apple iTunes video content on... Apple devices and Macs.
My content purchased from Amazon certainly seems to be available on a much wider range of devices than content purchased from Apple...
Why is it negligence on part of the email provider? What obligation do they have to take out email addresses permanently just because you can't be arsed to log into the account?
Does your logic carry over to domain names? Company names? Phone numbers? Addresses?
Your post shows an all too common insistence that third parties should protect you, rather than you protecting yourself.
The issue seems to be not one of what IP address you give it, nor whether its public facing or not, but that he was leaking data via some other means (captcha call back or license file?) which exposed the real servers location rather than the Tor hidden one.
That only applies where the patent owner is the one selling the item, which is not what we are talking about here - check out the following line from that Wikipedia article:
A patent gives the patent owner the right to exclude others from making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing into the U.S. the patented invention during the term of the patent
See the emphasis I have added.
Where a patented item is being sold by a third party to another third party, no exhaustion of rights exists - both parties are liable because both parties are individually breaching the patent holders rights.
There is no such thing as a "convicted monopolist", convictions only happen in criminal courts.
And as including the web browser in the OS formed the very basis of the anti-trust action, my point stands - some people would prefer that Windows would come unable to handle the web out of the box, so why should photos be more important?
Precisely because they are under investigation - to not pay them means the investigators and the employers have taken a particular stance, and also it would be extremely easy to harm someone by making a false accusation against them. Any accusation that leads to an investigation means the target is out of pocket, regardless of the end result.
That makes all the difference! There is competition in the market!
Of course it fucking matters if the competition is only within one very small segment of the market, it means a much higher cost of entry for the consumer - to read my Amazon Kindle book all I had to do was download the free Kindle reading app on any one of my Android phone, Android tablet, Apple phone, Apple tablet, Windows Phone, Windows 8 device, Apple computer, Windows 7 computer, Blackberry or a web browser for the web reader. Or buy a Kindle.
To take advantage of your "competition" I would have to buy an Apple device...
If you can't see why that is important, then you are a retard.
Amazon is providing the better service, and they are doing it without meaningful competition. Apple are locking you into their hardware ecosystem and were raising the price I have to pay on another platform to do it.
Again, if you can't see why that is important, then you are a retard.
Apple brings no competition to the market at all, they compete in one relatively small segment and have no interest in providing any service to those not using Apple devices. Fuck them.
Apple was only ever competing in the eBook industry on their own devices - and they were hurting the rest of us reading eBooks on other platforms.
When I can read my Apple eBooks on anything other than an IOS device, then they are in competition, until then they are just a negative on the industry as they are treating IOS as the entire market when dealing with publishers, which affects me over here on a platform Apple will never touch.
Why is that bad design? It allows access to the system again, but in a way that makes it pretty fecking obvious access has been gained - thats how I would like it to be handled rather than the alternatives of never gaining access or gaining unfettered access with all data in place and no one being aware access was gained.
What "law" stops Scotland being required to take its share of the national debt if it doesn't take the currency? The debt is not linked to the national currency, its entirely separate, just like your debt is not linked to any particular currency.

Why the hell is a GUI system dependent on a low level system control daemon?
After - Boeing received tax breaks equivalent to over $8Billion for siting the 787 production in Washington State.

You need to brush up on your understanding of patent law - people and entities merely using infringing items most certainly can be sued...
There are loads of sources of evidence of the Iranian F-14s being very effective in the Iran-Iraq war, and they still fly to this day.
If you check out the history of the region, it wasn't exactly great before the British drew those lines.

And the way to fix that is to launch a formal investigation into the supplier of the software? Bollocks.
Why reward somebody who is under investigation?

Going too deep will be an issue in itself - I bet this things crush depth isn't all that deep...
Umbraco, Orchard? Both mainstream, both mature and both a worthwhile replacement for Wordpress et al.
The complainants are welcome to do the work themselves...
And yet one of the things "fought for" by OEMs during the antitrust battles was more freedom to do shit with OEM installs.
So which would you prefer - more freedom for OEMs, or more freedom for MS to restrict OEMs?

Drop the bullshit please.
Uh, no they dont - the detector vans have been a long running myth, they never existed.
