Seasons one and two were great, but things rapidly started to go down hill after that. It became rapidly apparent that there was no overall plan (like Straczynski had with Babylon 5).
You expect a hack writer from Star Trek TNG to have a plan?
Welcome to Everywhere. Name a large city where people in the nearby area don't refer to it as "the city". Chicago, New York, LA, San Diego, Seattle- they all do it. SF is nothing special in that regard.
Sure SF is special. The bay area is ringed it large cities.
Umm...Shouldn't the police force be paying craigslist? Craigslist didn't create the prostitution. They stuck it all in one spot. The only way they could have helped the cops more is if they placed a big red arrow that says "hooker" over the prostitute's heads.
Sure it bothers you in this case. As you said, the quality isn't stellar. And you have no choice in clients due to the DRM.
If Hollyweird would dump all this protection nonsense, you would have the option of open MP4 streams or downloading with any software of your choosing.
How do you know they will install real cameras? Not like anyone will notice the fake cameras if they install a few reals ones for demo purposes.. They'll take the money and run.

AIX and Solaris don't both need to exist within the same company.
Yet IBM has been selling Solaris already. IBM is a Solaris licensee.
What would happen to Solaris,
I guess you didn't know that IBM is a Solaris licensee and currently sells Solaris as an option for it's customers today?
While this was a false alarm, Slashdot will still consider Apple evil, right?

Only the snobs in SF think they are "the city."
For some reason my movies are only mailed to me promptly if I am a new customer.
It's just you.
I'm on the 1-at-a-time plan and I get 3 per week.
Oh? How big is your hard drive? BD-ROM's can hold 50GB
And how much of that is actually the movie you want to watch?
Interesting how little time it takes viewing stuff without ads for it to become completely unacceptable.
Even more so now that most commercials are scams trying to rip people off.
I remember when commercials were entertaining and were trying to sell a real product.

That just makes too much sense.
1. It is a youtube link. Who doesn't go to youtube?
I guess you've never been to xHamster.
Still think using a free service that everybody and their dog uses makes a lot more sense than paying for it.
Only if you are a YouTube/Google fan boy.
The DRM doesn't really bother me in this case.

one of these solar generating stations was mute
Mute? I didn't know power stations could talk..
I see your lack of imagination and raise you some other suggestions:
Space Nipple?
Or, could you direct me to Visual Studio for Linux or OS X?
But that is OK because Windows is everywhere.
Right?

These days the kid might be packing a weapon.
Confiscate the cellphone by all means, call the parents, MAYBE even have the parents come and pick her up.
Or she calls her pimp to cap the teacher in the parking lot after school.
And how long before the malware stores pop up for the unsuspecting?
That's at least one benefit to a manufacturer run app store.
The movie "Hackers" had the wrong title?
That's the same reason Greempeace is always putting out press releases about Apple... Cheap publicity.
If your cat mittens died,
Isn't it required to kill the cat before making mittens out of it?
But what's the point of cloning a companion animal?
Because some people have more money than they know what to do with.
And they call cell phones.
And they use different fake caller IDs
Um, no they don't. My generation "needs" broadband. A lot of older people, especially the elderly, have no need or desire for the internet
Except when they want to video conference with their grand children who live in another city.
