"Coolness" is an added value which the market appreciates, but what matters the most to the market is the practicality of the product - and in Microsoft's case, I'm sorry to say there is a lack of practical value for most of its products today.
Uh...what? Granted, this is from 2010, but it hasn't changed much:
Why would he be offended at you asking him to help bag your tea? Sometimes when I buy a lot of tea I need assistance in bagging it. Seems reasonable enough.
Lets say you are one of the 10 most wanted in America, and a local news crew is doing man on the street interviews.
They interview you about who you will vote for, and you say "Obama can go to hell!"
A nearby cop recognizes you as one of the ten most wanted, and arrests you.
Are you being arrested because of what you said, or because you were stupid enough to let a cop on the lookout for you hear you speak and see your face??
It's the latter, clearly, and the when the government arrests you in that situation is not an assault on your free speech rights.
it's the same here. Government DOES get to do that, and they SHOULD. In fact, if the cop didn't arrest one of the ten most wanted in that situation, I would fucking make a citizens arrest on him myself...after all, he's one of the ten most wanted.
So, there's no evidence that he did that...he did marry her, and so it is certainly possible that he did do this, just that there's no real evidence, from any of the Hadith.
If you yell Fire, and people flee, they are fleeing because they have a reasonable suspicion that there is a fire, and that there lives are at stake. They can choose not to, but a reasonable person in that situation would flee or check to see if there was a fire.
However, it is UNreasonable for Muslims to attack the US embassy because someone insults their prophet. People insult Jesus all the time and no one goes on a rampage, so we cannot say that insulting a religious figure will likely cause a riot...
read the damn article. He was told not to use false aliases.
During the course of the investigation, the prosecutor said he had duped multiple people with false bank accounts, bad checks, and misrepresenting himself to people with business dealings. Being a "Danger to Society" doesn't have to mean being a violent thug. People who make a living by hoodwinking others at every opportunity are just as bad.
The authorities DID NOT KNOW he had been violating his parole after 2010; the interest surrounding the movie brought this to their attention.
Actually, it easily could have been that. People are arrested for violating the terms of their parole when those terms involve "Do not contact Person X" and they click a Facebook Like button.
If you are told not to get on the internet, and you post a chihuahua youtube video, you could very easily end up before a Judge. And if you give said Judge a false name, you could wind up in Jail.
When you sign up with the military, you promise not to divulge secrets. Manning divulged secrets. Prosecuting him for doing something he said he wouldn't do isn't censorship.
Baloney. He was arrested because he lied, repeatedly, to the authorities. He is a pathological liar. Or are you forgetting the part about how he was tried and convicted of bank fraud?
Courts deal with these people all the time, and the fact was this was the tipping point for them to throw the book at him. Had nothing to do with his video.
The difference is that Muslims don't have to riot.
If I yell "Fire", a rational person will try to leave a theater quickly, possibly causing injuries to others. If I don't leave the theater, I could die to the fire.
If I yell "Mohammed liked a good pork BBQ brisket", and you are a Muslim, you don't HAVE to riot in the streets. Your life is not in danger.
The proof of this is that Christians don't riot when others make fun of Jesus. There is nothing that makes them riot.
The lie was giving a false name to a judge. He said that the name he used in his 2010 trial was a false name, and his real name was something else. The judge, putting 2 and 2 together, realized this guy was lying then, or was lying now. So she jailed him.
Danger to the community doesn't have to mean "Making a video likely to inflame others".
It can just as easily mean "Giving false aliases whenever anyone at any time, including the Blockbuster video clerk, the bank teller, the bar bouncer asking for your ID, the state car registration authorities, or pretty much anyone legitimately asks, and EXPECTS, you to give them your real name."
In fact, I can guarantee you that is what the judge means.
-----It was clear he violated his probation from the beginning. ---The beginning of what? What were the terms of his probation? If it's so "clear" why are the terms of his violation sealed from public view?'
From the La Times: "Nakoula, who was on supervised release from a 2010 conviction for bank fraud, faces eight charges of probation violation, including making false statements to authorities about the film.
When probation officials questioned him about the video, Nakoula allegedly claimed his role was limited to writing the script, and denied ever using the name “Sam Bacile” in connection to the film, Dugdale said.
Dugdale said there is evidence Nakoula’s role in making “Innocence of Muslims” was “much more expansive” than penning the script. Prosecutors said Nakoula could face new criminal charges for lying to federal officials."
------It's very important for Muslims across the world to understand that he was NOT arrested and jailed for the CONTENT of that movie
----You know who believes that statement? Approximately no-one. Are you SERIOUSLY claiming that had the protestors not claimed that movie was provoking them that he would be in jail, or even in trouble? Lots of other terrible movies are made every day and the producers run free to make more.
I believe that statement because it is true. Don't believe me? There is absolutely nothing in the Prosecutors statements about why he was arrested that had anything to do with the CONTENT of that movie. It's because he lied, repeatedly, to officials. This is exactly my point. Some people are so willing to believe conspiracies that they refuse to look at what is so obvious right there before them. Read this article and tell me his arrest had anything to do with the CONTENT of that movie: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2012/09/nakoula-basseley-nakoula-aliases-innocence-muslims.html
----He was jailed EXACTLY because of the content of the movie. He is being punished to try and appease the protestors. --You know what other countries are doing by way of thanks? Jailing some guy who ripped up a bible in Egypt. Is this really the road we want to go down?
Did the guy who ripped up the Bible violate the terms of his parole? Do they even have parole there? If not, it was most likely because of blasphemy laws. The fact that the Egyptian authorities are stupid for enforcing blasphemy laws, while our authorities are not stupid for enforcing parole violations, is none of my concern.
Bullshit. This man was not arrested for antyhing he said in any video. he was arrested because he violated the terms of his probation, which included NOT GIVING FALSE ALIASES TO AUTHORITIES, something he apparently has a pathological tendency to do.
He came to the attention of the state because he has previously been tried and convicted of multiple crimes. He was on probation. The state of California is not embarrassed by anything this man said.
It looks like there was one very pissed off judge who refused to give him bail because he is a pathological liar. The California legal system deals with these sorts of people all the time.
Screw yourself. Everyone has an agenda, and people are free to post here just as much as they are free to make a video calling Mohammed nasty things.
He was arrested because he violated the terms of his probation by repeatedly giving false names to authorities, NOTHING MORE.
he was not even arrested for getting on the internet, which was banned under his probation terms. he was arrested for ONE thing and ONE thing only, and it had nothing to do with the movie trailer.
He's locked up because he violated the terms of his probation. He apparently has a pathological tendency to refuse to give his real name to authorities or anyone else for that matter, and the Judge had enough of it.
They should have done this weeks ago. It was clear he violated his probation from the beginning.
It's very important for Muslims across the world to understand that he was NOT arrested and jailed for the CONTENT of that movie, but because he continually provided false aliases to the judge and the police in violation of his probation.
I wonder if the protesters in Egypt will understand this...my guess is probably not.
Well, we could try. The company would, of course, ignore us. Eventually someone working for them gets arrested here in the US, and then either Russia retaliates, or the company leaves the US.
But the thing is, they can't enforce the law in their own country. If it is the case that the servers are in the US, the head of operations in brazil may literally have no power to force google in the US to do anything. And so Brazil can get mad as much as they want, but there's nothing they can do. What could happen, after a series of arrests by the Brazialian government of people in Brazil who "head" google's operations there, is that no one wants to sign up to be the "head" and Google takes its marbles and goes home.

How did it work out?
"Coolness" is an added value which the market appreciates, but what matters the most to the market is the practicality of the product - and in Microsoft's case, I'm sorry to say there is a lack of practical value for most of its products today.
Uh...what? Granted, this is from 2010, but it hasn't changed much:
"Worldwide, 500 million customers use Office. Office's marketshare has held steady at 94 percent for years according to market research firm Gartner. The next closest competitor, Adobe has a mere 4 percent of the market. "
http://www.dailytech.com/Office+2010+to+Launch+Today+Microsoft+Owns+94+Percent+of+the+Market/article18360.htm
So those 94 percent of people find no practical use in Microsoft products?
Don't forget...

Ask Osama about his experience in international affairs.
In countries where there are less guns, they have less gun violence.
It's pretty simple, really.
