Works great. Can be encrypted on the client so no one can access it. Including you if you lose your keys.
Rates are reasonable...usually a few dollars a month.
I backup all my photos, videos, documents, etc... this way.
While I agree that free realms do have broader appeal, why does that have to be the all we get?
I pay to play WoW because to me it is worth it...or used to be anyway. The game has become..well..in all honesty a joke. I have been playing since the day it came out.
Sure, make games that are free to play so that you can draw in the 13 year olds. But that shouldn't stop game developers from making games, that are subscription based that do have the separation that a lot of more mature players want.
This does not fair well for all the World of Warcraft players in Australia.
Blizzard "legally" uses p2p to distribute patches and such.
I guess only one question remains to be asked to all Australian WoW players...Can I have your stuff?
Sorry, it had to be said.
To elaborate...Google is an advertising and marketing company!!
Everything they do, is directed towards knowing the consumer.
This EULA is genius...and so is this product (the browser).
What better way is there of harvesting consumer information? Create a browser, say you have royalty-free license to everything that goes through said browser. This is a like striking gold for an advertising company.
It is essentially spyware, only made by Google so it's good...right?
I suppose MIDI synthesizers don't product audio signal either.
The Guitar Hero guitar is nothing but a guitar shaped controller. It sends button presses that is on no way different than a regular hand-held controller. Only its shape is different.
Now if the guitar did output MIDI, then I guess the patent would be marginally closer to applying, but it doesn't.
1. A system for electronically simulating participation by a user in a pre-recorded musical performance comprising:
a. a musical instrument, the musical instrument generating an instrument audio signal at an instrument audio output, the instrument audio signal varying in response to operation of the instrument by the user of the system;
The guitars from Guitar Hero do not produce "audio" signal at an "instrument audio output". They are not musical instruments.
I think Gibson is reaching here!
OK, a large amount of spammers rely on *guessing* e-mail addresses. Why not charge per e-mail miss. I know, what about the guy who just mistypes a valid e-mail address. Have the ISP give out 10-20 free e-mail misses per month. This would more than cover any mistypes by us "normal" users while crippling the spammers who rely on guessing e-mail addresses.

I think the real problem is that paying $56 to have a mobile phone is "Not so bad" to you.
Exactly! Saying that this is the developer's fault is a bit of a cop-out for Microsoft.
