Repurposed plasma screens are just that; you're making use of a huge supply chain designed for providing TVs to provide for a special purpose application. It would cost rather a lot to produce 30" eink displays, and there aren't many people to spread the initial costs around.
But if they push too far, Google has the option to close them and nope itself outside of their jurisdiction. They'll still be able to sell and display ads to Europeans, safely on the other side of the internets.
They shouldn't have been issuing certificates trusted by default anyway. Pare down the CA list included by default in browsers since so many of them are no more authoritative than self signed certificates anyway. If someone wants to trust TURKTRUST, let them import them themselves. The vast majority has absolutely no reason to.
The central problem with the current system is that it forces the people actually making things to defend themselves from entrenched interests. We need to redirect that fight so patent holders settle it amongst themselves rather than the wider public.
Set a patent tax at the point of final sale, and have patent holders lodge their claims against products as they come to market. Patent holders themselves will then have the burden of fighting off frivolous patents without troubling the organization actually producing things. The general public will have a direct view into the drag the patent system has on the economy, and will have to be persuaded to accept it. Non-commercial activity won't be impacted, because any percent of zero is still zero.

Not necessarily that oil.
Shouldn't run oil by rail or pipeline. Leave it in the ground.
In that you choose which rules to follow, and which to ignore, subvert, avoid, or not even bother learning about.
So, you seem to be saying this business model transfers wealth from the idle rich to those building things.
You seem to have some sort of objection to this, but I don't understand it.
What exactly were you smoking?

They'll give you a "discount" for using cash or debit.
There are more people using Baidu. Who cares if it works on Windows Phone or not?

Both of them?
Is that really too much to ask?
Even just putting up a standard ad landing page would generate income, there.
We'll see if ICANN just brings down the hammer for powerful corporations here.
Commercial users are being expected to pay extraordinarily low commercial rates. Someone call the Wambulance.
If they were providing 8 as a free update, you might have a point, but who is really going to be shelling out $100 for it?
And no one bought that any more than they'll be buying 8.
And they want you to be buying their $10,000 router, not a $100 Linksys one. They're artificially degraded.
If they were successfully attacked then their both incompetent and insecure.
Then I've got a fully alive not dead elephant to sell you.
Your tears are delicious.
They're probably not in the office.

This wouldn't provide extra or faster broadband. It would be a tax on urbanites to subsidize rural broadband.
No, I would not want to see that. Let Farmer Joe pay his fair share.
Welcome to every watch list, ever.
I can hack any hotel room door.
With an axe.
