Maybe you use it as a toy, some of us do real work on these devices. I doubt Ben would have been a huge fan of people not being able to use tools they bought.
I bet more than 1% of android users have some sort of emulator installed or other app that would not be approved on the app store. Flash is another good example. That sorta kills your 99% number.
You cannot have free speech without anonymous speech. Let's say I want to be able to say something bad about the Saudi royal family or the Israeli government, think I got both sides there, do I really want their nutbag followers to be able to find me? Since I probably would rather continue to breathe than make my point known I will never speak out. That hurts free speech. If we did not have to worry about never being able to find a job, or even being killed for our speech that would not be an issue.
Which means you won't be able to play the games when they discontinue the service. Great. This is why I like steam but buy real game discs for anything I want to keep.
Tomorrow during the day, go outside and look for the big orange thing in the sky. That is the fusion reactor I was referring to. It does indeed bathe folks in radiation.
Lots of people who vote for third party candidates probably would rather not have their neighbors find out they voted for the Communists, Socialists, Fascists, or a racist party other than the republicans.
I have worked in local retail, they always paid worse than the big box stores, had less benefits and often ripped off the local shoppers. The video store in the town my parents charged $5/night for DVD rentals. Then Redbox came to town and killed them. At the same time they paid the guy managing both of their stores less than $10/hour. They also tried to claim the two stores were separate businesses and that he was part time since he only worked 20 hours per week at each store. These days only the one in the smaller town is open, and it will close soon as well.
Just because a store is local and small does not mean it pays any better or treats its workers better than a big box store. The grocery store I worked in as a kid was the same way. The man who ran it could not understand why folks would drive an hour to shop elsewhere. It never occurred to him the locals knew he was ripping off the farmers who supplied him and the customers. That scam was to delay payment over some made up claim about the produce until the farmer would accept less than the agreed on price. If you delay payment long enough they will just take what they can get. Then he would charge what he wanted and tell the customers prices were up due to price increases from the farmers.
I never said it did, only that it was popular and not x86. I own lots of things that are not x86, some more popular than others. Breaking the web for my sparc workstation would be pretty annoying.
If your job can be done that easily you need to improve your skills a bit. I was thinking more like Amazons IT dept, or Accounting, even the shipping department could have some decent jobs.

My real work involves tools like ssh, the data stays on the servers bucko.
When did I say business data was on the phone?
I do not use skype, and frankly would rather go without a smartphone than have one I cannot control.

And they let tinpot dictators read your texts and IMs.
Oh wait, that sounds not that good on second though.

Trading liberty for safety, is that what you are suggesting?
You can rip blueray just as well, drives are not that expensive these days.
My record players always used electricity. Sorry grandpa but the handcrank is for chumps and old geezers.

The NES had 2d fighters. TMNT Tournament was one I played a lot of. 2D fighters were not new to the console with the SNES.
No, the minimum is 1080i @ 30fps. That is only 540p @ 60fps, which is as you can see lower than 720p @ 60fps.
Everyone. There might well be patents on H264 that folks outside the MPEG-LA hold. Software patents are a minefield for everyone involved.
I disagree. Breaking usability for nix users is backwards.

You forgot their "Get the Facts" Campaign already?

Sure you do, use flashblock. Then you click on the flash elements to activate them.
So do they plan on going after that unlicensed fusion reactor that bathes their children in radiation all day?
So? Lots more desert than that. Also in the USA a town with 20k folks is probably more like 20sq km.

Why does that matter?
The Ipad is pretty popular and does not use x86.

What has paying got to do with it?
