So let's see - Microsoft is a monopoly that destroys companies on a number of fronts, has ongoing uneasy relationship of take and no give with the open source community, hurts consumers through various acts of evil, and then gets into the game business with its monopoly money sustaining the kind of huge loses that normal companies could not withstand.
Sony riled up the/. community primarily because of its copy protection efforts - the Lik Sang cease & desist, had the infamous copy protection scandal, and removed the other OS option.
And for that, Sony is "almost so evil" in comparison? I think that the scale of evil has been distorted somewhat.
Usually the word "OR" is associated with two alternatives. So when the author says "Threat or Menace", I really don't get the point he's trying to make and the distinction between the two.
Not a particularly attractive name overall, but I decided to search the web to see if it's in common usage. Turns out that it's only used in reference to AC adapters, not as all-in-one computers. In fact, the first reference to the term as it relates to a mini computer is this very article. So it looks like they're making up their own lingo.
Although 1B gals sounds like a lot, consider that Wiki says the US alone used 138B of gas in 2006. So saving 1B gals over the course of 20 years globally is a relative drop in the bucket.
What someone needs to do is track the relative fuel cost based on the weight and number of vehicles over the years, and it should be come apparent that we should be driving motorcycles and lightweight double passenger cars rather than trying to wrap our minds about how human weight affects oil consumption.
Was there a struggle to get open source into businesses? I thought "In the early days of free software", the whole point was that the developers sought to provide free software in terms of libre, and as gratis as a side effect. Stallman wasn't trying to get businesses to use his software, he was trying to make the software he needed available for free because he saw that the software business was not distributing code or providing the freedoms to tinker and improve software enjoyed under the MIT heydays.
The world is too caught up that the Earth is the one place for any type of life in the universe, we're not prepared to deal with other possibilities.
I think that even the course that NASA is demonstrating now - proving that it's possible that there was water on Mars, opening up the possibility of a discovery of some type of life perhaps long extinct - is preparing the general public to slowly get ready to the idea that there's the existiance of extraterrestrial life.
Tin foil hat time - Perhaps NASA already knows that this life exists, but they need to get the public ready for acceptance of it by slowly introducing more and more evidence so that society doesn't lose its marbles.
I read that there is an Video Game Museum in New York, although I haven't visited it.
I think the mistake the Emulators are not preservation pieces of material they are a way for people to reasonably have access to it. It's the same with a photo of a paintiing - not everyone has access to see the Mona Lisa, and although a photo is a poor subtitute for seeing it in person, the photo does accomplish the purpose of making it broadly available to understand what it is in lieu of actually flying to France to see it.
1) How do you find violations? Did you just happen to stumble across it, or does your host provide the means to detect when it's being hotlinked? Is it from all the visitors clicking on the link that makes the activity on that image go up?
2) if you don't mind a little hassle, you could just only publish a low res image and have people request the higher quality image? You could then police the proper usages of the image, but I suppose it won't stop the people using the low res image anyways, such as the blogs in your example.
and the other companies on your list is that Microsoft has that Windows money to keep the doors open while they took horrendous losses on XBOX in order to enter that market. Or as you look at their other product lines, whatever busineses they feel like at the time, many of which don't make money now, or even in the forseeable future. They stay in any number of businesses that lose money because they have other revenue streams to prop the company up.
It's not a function of delivering a better product than Sega, NeoGeo, or 3D0. It's that monopoloy money that allows them to enter markets they never were in before.
Maybe they worded the public mission statement in such a fashion so that the MD5 actually has a collision with their still yet unknown private mission statement. Tin foil hat now off.
Different problem - the rest of america made the switch from analog BROADCAST to HD. This is Comcast's cable system which switched from analog tuning to a special digital tuning box (that seems to be fairly proprietary and the one I got doesn't work well with a lot of programmable remotes). The purported reason was to free up bandwidth, but the real reason was probably to kill the ability to split the signal.
Those games didn't always check to see if the correct CD was in the drive, either. I remember once playing a game and I couldn't figure out why the background music was playing depeche mode instead of the normal game music. It wasn't until much later that I realized that it just simply played track 1 of whatever disk was in the drive at that time.
Mozilla official cite that the innovation of new features in other browsers suspiciously correlate to the sudden appearance of black duck eggs at restaurants near the Mozilla office.
Seems to be that the gating factor with a laptop is that it has to be online in order to get a poison pill. A smart phone, well that's easy to send a poison pill because it's still online even after the point you lose control of the device. A laptop, however, can be left turned off and the disk duplicated before anyone actually turns the power on the drive.
Disk encryption helps to the extent that it prevent an unauthorized people from accessing the drive but that's not the same as a remote wipe, since you can still use rubber hose cryptanalysis or a supoena to get the passphrase. What's needed is some kind of pc hardware that can take instructions to do a remote wipe from a pre-boot phase to delete the encryption key itself (not just the passphrase), and secure enough so that some hacker can't remote wipe your pc for you.
The function is called User Operation Prohibitions. Look around for hacks on disabling UOP in your dvd player (usually through a firmware update) to get around this problem.
This guy just wrapped up all the common complaints that Adobe and the non-Apple customers want you to believe what's wrong with iPad, and sends off a profanity laced alcohol induced email exchange to see if he can out wit Steve Jobs.
I'd say that Steve stayed pretty much on message with what he's been always saying, even without his PR department to filter out his intent. And the blogger just looks like, well, a troll.

What the heck does that mean, "I'm thirty". Years old?
It would make a LOT more sense if the machine said "I'm thirsty" instead.

Prior Art!
So which one is first? Did the PADD (tv prop) inspire the iPad, or does the iPad inspire the PADD (24rd century)?
I'm getting a transparent aluminum sized headache just thinking about it.
It's amazing how military expeditions often launch under the guise of scientific exploration.

The article does state that you need 5 of 7 to restore.

Although I tend to agree with you, I think that's the precise arguement they're making on why emulators are not the real thing.

I think that Disney films tend to be less about plot and more about adventure in a new world. And Tron delivers on that in volumes.
Will their next genetic decoding involve LiLo? TMZ wants to know.
Why would anyone want to genetically decode LiLo? Isn't everyone using Grub by now?

Traditionally, laptops and netbooks come with an operating system of some sort.
