Basically, GOOG-411 is an experimental Google telephone service. Users can call and use speech regocnition to do local business search. I think American phones have letters on the number buttons, so 1-800-GOOG-411 means 1-800-466-4411.
The three first make sence, but "realize the Wii had potential"? That's just commercial thinking, nothing noble about it. Microsoft and Sony may be big bad guys, but Nintendo have never been any less evil. Just smaller. Nintendo have been very hard on modders and independent game makers historically.
This may not mean much at all for other countries. Home PCs has never caught on in Japan the same way as in Europe and the USA. The gaming market is completely dominated by consoles. Games like World of Warcraft haven't even been translated into Japanese, and very few play the English version.
"the sum of all human knowledge" and similar phrases is an old slogan for print encyclopedias such as Britannica. Still, you think it does not represent encyclopedia values? Then, what does "encyclopedic" really mean?
Can you tell us which article and when you did the edit? I have never had a spelling fix reverted, so you story looks strange. Not to question you, but I wonder if you (unknowingly) changed British spelling into American or something like that.
Since Storm is probably run by a single person, or a single group, how have they managed to avoid getting caught? Especially if they start make money on it, it should be possible to track them that way.
The vast majority of men don't build their own computers either. Sure, there are fewer women than men who do. But there are many women who do, and one girl building a computer is not news.
Could you give any kind of reason why this would work? I know some of you anti-government types think anything private will be great, but I don't see any private entity with anything near the ability to o to mark. One or two of them can do sub-orbital jumps, and that's cool, but it's nowhere near going to Mark. Besides, a NASA buys a lot from private contractors anyway.
I don't know anything about those two, but your argument makes no sense. Is it wrong to work for the civil rights of some people, if you don't actively work for everyone else too? Can't you focus on one group and let others work with other groups? Civil rights may be color blind, but the violations of those rights often aren't.
The University notes, however, that all of its educational decisions are based on a full range of academic performance issues, not solely on a student's personal website or social networking site. Oh, I'm so relieved to hear that the university does not base its educational decisions entirely on what the students put on their myspace pages.
Could we please stop this Apple fanboyism? How is this interesting in any way?

You might want to take a look at Shattered Galaxy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shattered_Galaxy I've only played it a little, and it's a few years old. It comes close to what you described, and I like the idea.
I have always been confused by the (mostly American) concept of identity theft. Isn't much of the problem that all you need to take a loan in someone else's name is some information about the person? Don't you have id cards over there?
I suggest Google block Flixters IPs from logging in to Gmail. That should keep away some of this spam. In general, preventing a single IP from logging in to a lot of accounts sounds like a decent security measure.
Because when they do, the real world press writes about it.

If you are also not American, or just haven't hear of it, Wikipedia article here:

True, but that goes for just about any how-to book for any computer program. Which hasn't stopped it from becoming a huge market.

How about http://www.bankofarnerica.com/?
Probably so that everyone who is interested in the card will find at lest one project they like in the list.

So what does it take to be a "professional"?
P2P is not one protocol, but many. Some P2P systems, such as Gnutella, even use HTTP for file transfers.

You sound like a religious fundamentalist.

I'm not comparing Steve Jobs to Mao. I am comparing their followers.

A lot of FOSS code is actually written by paid developers. Especially in the bigger projects like OpenOffice.org, KDE, the Linux kernel etc.
