Star Wars is directly influenced by the work of Joseph Campbell, whose work I think is "deep enough" to analyze in this way. I hope they discuss this in the exhibition, but a quick Google search suggests that they may not.
The article sounds sketchy and it's the NY Post. I suspect this is being written as if you won't be able to use Hulu at all without cable in order to make it sensational, but it's probably just some marketing strategy Hulu is considering for specific shows. This article calls it a "rumor".
Yes, my own apps use Appirater but I've found it has very little effect on the number of ratings you actually get, and plan to remove it in my next updates. In my marketing research that number of ratings is a pretty decent indicator of sales.
Why the hell would they choose Bjork's Biophilia app? I mean it's kinda funny, but that's not a very popular (or good) app. The app was free for a long time and only has 731 ratings, which means it isn't really selling that well. Angry Birds has 750,000 ratings and Instagram has 500,000.
It seems like it would be pretty easy to tie it to certain stats and community feedback. If the developers compare the stats of a bunch of good players and bad players, it probably wouldn't be hard to spot recognizable trends that would be hard to fake. Start everybody at the same price, but great players start to get a discount over time. Sounds like a really smart idea.
I'm sure there's many other devices and firmware to choose from, but I have a few of these WD TV boxes and have considered coding some of my own stuff for them starting with one of the custom firmware projects that are already available.
Big "so what". Soundcloud has 10 million. There are way too musicians in general these days, and of course most of them suck and are desperate for publicity and will grab whatever they can get.
And as a musician, why the hell would I think that Piratebay of all places would be even a decent curator of music compared to the thousands of other places that offer the same kind of curated promotion? And finally, just couldn't feel that good over a place promoting my music through publicity earned by violating the copyrights of thousands more musicians.
I'm planning to cancel Netflix in favor of cable. I'm sick of too many choices and poor quality of content in Netflix streaming, and I like the curated, premium-quality content of the movie channels. I also like commercials -- I think it's interesting and weird to see what giant companies think that we think is "cool". Additionally, the technical quality is much better on cable -- everything is full HD with no waiting.
I live in New York where all chains are required to post calories, and it's fantastic! It makes it so easy to choose the correct portions. However food producers are definitely cranking up the salt to compensate now. You can't add sugar or fat without adding calories, but you can add salt.
FTA: In fact, sensitivity guidelines recently published by a group of states creating new high-stakes exams also caution against mentioning luxuries, group dancing, junk food, homelessness or witches. Yet a comparison shows the city's list, at 50 topics, is nearly twice as long and has fewer exceptions.
The reason it's twice as long is probably because New York City is extremely multicultural relative to most of the rest of the US. It's hard to grasp how extreme until you've lived here for a while. There are women in burkas on the beach. There are huge communities of people here who live almost like the Amish. The fact that NY's list of excluded words is twice as long as other places seems like a big "so what".
Oversalting and spicing processed food has nothing to do with it being airline food. All processed food is heavily oversalted and often overspiced no matter where you get it.
To me, the delay and loss of clear full-duplex are bigger compromises for cell phones audio-wise, and the reason I have a land line at home. Hopefully this new technology addresses those problems in addition to improving the fidelity.
Yeah, they asked him about that and he misunderstood the question to be about lossy audio data compression rather than dynamic range compression:
Q: Do you think that sound quality is driving this trend? Are people tiring of low-resolution sound and compressed recordings that lack dynamic range?
A: That may well be. The majority [of consumers] are happy with MP3, but they donâ(TM)t know what they are missing. Being fast and free are priorities, and thatâ(TM)s why MP3 is popular. Thereâ(TM)s another damaging situation: You can complain about iTunes and subscription sites being damaging to copyright owners and having inferior audio quality, but one of the worst culprits is YouTube.

That's just a bunch of horseshit Lucas made up years later (the man reedits his own history almost as much as he reedits his movies).

My point is that your harmless cat lady analogy is totally worthless.

How is 1 - 3.5 million dead from starvation harmless? Here's what happens when you starve to death.
Any modern car won't let you turn the key into the wheel lock position unless it's in park.
And directions. Pretty much all I ever use maps for is driving and subway directions.

We wouldn't be that excited to find it if we'd already had millions of alien cable channels.

I'm assuming it's pretty easy to argue that these lies lost Apple a buttload of money and that somebody will be sued?

I don't think "WV" is a commonly known abbreviation for West Virginia.
