Media sales via the Android Market in general, more like it.
Close. Google have officially joined the dark side.
They bought a DRM company called Widevine, which handles the digital restrictions on Blockbuster, Netflix et al.
It looks like the original purchase was for their move into internet TV, but collateral damage has ensured that sadly, Android is now Defective by Design Those of us who enjoy using and modifying our own property will have to part ways with the official Android releases. I'm looking forward to seeing some nice Linux distros on Arm tablets. http://www.osnews.com/story/24099/Google_buy_DRM_firm_Widevine_Solution_to_HTML5_Video_Adoption_
Your type of FUD is what causes users spend $ on bad quality products.
I'd say the FUD is coming from another direction...

There are two main categories of disease caused by dust inhalation:
CUMULATIVE DISEASES
Plaque type illnesses - such as silicosis and asbestosis occur when the inhalation of such particles continuously for many years causes little patches of irritation to form in one or both lungs. The scar tissue formed by the irritation makes the lungs less flexible and porous.
These types of illness are directly exposure linked. That is, the more dust you breathe, the worse the disease will get and conversely, if you stop breathing the dust you can slow the progress of the disease.
LATENT DISEASES
Other diseases such as mesothelioma and lung cancers are caused when the continuous irritation of the lung or pleura tissues by the dust or fibre particles triggers the formation of a cancer or tumour. These types of disease are known as latent illnesses. That is, they may occur ten to twenty years after the exposure and, while reducing the amount of dust breathed will reduce, but not eliminate, the likelihood of the disease occurring, once the disease is active, stopping breathing the dust will not alter the progress of the disease. In contrast to asbestosis which depends on the dosage of exposure to asbestos fibres, mesothelioma and lung cancer are not necessarily related to heavy exposure to asbestos fibre.
I worked for many years on the WA Department of MinesContam monitoring program which has been collecting airborn particulate data, including asbestos for several decades. In addition, I've consulted to many companies on asbestos identifiaction and management for the past 25 years.
Australia has the highest rate of mesothelioma in the world, and we've experienced three phases of asbestos related disease, from the mining of asbestos, asbestos use in industry and most recently from DIY home renovators who demolished their own asbestos structures.
Given the bullshit the authors are pushing, I think it is likely they have had more than a sniff.
Claude Allegre is the first scientist cited. This is from his Wikipedia entry
Claude Allègre
In 1996, Allègre opposed the removal of carcinogenic asbestos from the Jussieu university campus in Paris, describing it as harmless and dismissing concerns about it as a form of "psychosis created by leftists".[6] The campus' asbestos is deemed to have killed 22 people and caused serious health problems in 130 others.[7]
Can't speak for kinky Aussie sex though. Nothing in police reports about that.
Well, I'm a kinky Aussie, and can testify that working off a nice morning glory with my gf while we're both still half asleep is pretty much all the way over at the wholesome end of the spectrum.
The true cellar-dwelling geek --- the mushroom maiden --- with no social or political life whatsoever
And a true cellar-dwelling American has no knowledge of politics or processes outside his own nation.
To quote Graeme Orr:
Of gravest concern is the perception of the sale of governmental favours. This concern has been most recently raised with regard to the exercise of discretion by the federal immigration authorities and Minister in favour of donors to the Liberal Party.[110]
There is a danger that the AEC (Australian Electoral Commission) will swallow the corporate view that such fees are valuable consideration, shelled out as part of doing business in Australia. Indeed one AEC handbook states that ‘value [ie, consideration] includes gaining access to lobby government ministers’.[111] On that reasoning, even large-scale donations are simply ‘part of doing business’ and their tax deductibility as an ordinary business expense would be undeniable! No matter how perfect the disclosure system, if the sale of political favours is assimilated as an acceptable part of the ‘commerce’ of parties, then politics risks collapsing into a business, not a public service.
Does anything look familiar here? This was in 2003, and the reform proposals outlined were considered to be a major step towards reducing the influence of direct lobbying in Australian politics.

My statement that I easily get 5 hrs on a charge is consistent with external benchmarks like this one, which gets almost 7 hours of video playing.
Do you have any evidence to the contrary?

My $120 Ainol Novo 7 easily gets 5 hours on a charge, while a friend's Zenithink ZT280 does about 6 hours.

I'm not sure. Line up one of each to start and I'll tell you when I've tried them all.
Nobody's that good. We're all deeply flawed, but we're all we've got.
So some people just go ahead and do it anyway, because any honest action is better than accepting the lies and deceit.

They'll turn all sparkly and you'll have to shoot them for the good of humanity and quality television programming.
Just ask Ernest Hemingway, Jack Kerouac, Jack London or Edgar Allan Poe,
I'd definitely need spirits to contact any of them.

It'll be called "Jelly Bean".

Depends how much you'd enjoy seeing your telcos bent over and squealing like pigs.
Now any attempt to pass those two pieces of legislation will come of as bribery and corruption.
SOPA/PIPA were the decoys and have now become bait for the slavering pack to tear at while the real work is being done.
The real legislation will be quietly passed as riders while you're patting yourselves on the back and preening over your fresh "kill".

maybe MIPS in the form of the Chinese-derivative Loongson?
