2) Plug and play is actually plug and play. Very rarely do I have to search online for drivers. I just plug it in and bam. Installed.
I don't think you know how PnP works then. You don't search online because Vista is bloated to the gills with decades worth of old drivers. They could make WinXP that way too, you know. But service pack 3 would have been an extra 2 gb in size.
It's because they chose to constantly reference trains. Nobody plays with trains anymore. They're past the point where they can be considered "old skool" and are now just a dead hobby.
Now if they had gone with Warhammer 40k references, people would get all excited about the new Warp Storm VM system!
Exactly. Vista started out with a lot of "admin" hype, as they were supposed to add all these additional features that would make administration a breeze compared to previous iterations. The problem is that they waited too long, not for the adaptation of XP to become so widespread, but simply too long for the rumor/hype to carry Vista into the workplace.
I'll bet their target now is to generate hype, then cut features, and try to slip the product out before the hype wears off and everyone finds out it was a sham ad campaign.
This sounds to me like one of those travel ads that are trying to attract new people to come to their country. "Hey, we have 500,000 jobs and need more people desperately. Come move to our country and take more power away from America!"
And what exactly would the statute of limitations be on a google search? Oh wait, laws haven't caught up with technology yet...
And the way it's looking, law makers are dragging their feet on this type of thing just so the government has this massive grey area to work in. But, then again, I'm just at the bottom looking up. Perhaps they see it differently from their angle.

But what if it just wants to "be friends"?
How long before we start seeing this technology embedded in the metal detectors in airports?
Considering he's slowly running out of body parts to communicate with (it's his eyes now, right?), I'd say you're on the right thought track.

I wonder what this would do for sites like prosper.com?
Can they clone my Aibo and make it black?

So then trolling repeatedly could count against in the three-strikes law?
I was a bit young at the time, but I seem to remember reading that they tried this in the 80's too. That was the birth of the word "pr0n".
I also had complaints about how riveting the movie was not.
I once saw a rack full of MREs in the Commisary. They were for sale at $6 each. The rack stayed full for like two weeks before being removed.

I guess military meals just don't hold the same novelty value with those who are experienced with them.
We just need more roads
Or less cars. Use the bus!
Well, it makes it much easier to explain why multicore processors work faster. Though I expect problems when explaining more than 5 cores per chip...

I thought too much detail would in effect give the patent troll a "way out" as they can then just change one of the many details and become unique.
