If Disney's new streaming service does end up costing around $5 per month, could you justify paying for it?
It's not the price that'll need to be justified.
It's the damn fragmentation.
And how will the application be? What quality will they stream in? Will it be stable and support all major platforms, and the popular smaller ones, at launch?
It's already a crap-shoot when trying a new provider. Out of my 8 or so providers (most of them I get bundled), only 2 of them are of sufficient quality; Netflix and HBO Nordic.
The rest is a mixture of missing sufficient sound quality or no Full HD. I don't want to pay for the "privilege" to watch Movies and TV Shows in SD and crappy Stereo sound. They may be 'fine' for mobile devices, but I have a TV and a surround system; I, at the very least, want HD and DD+ 5.1.
I don't have any issues with Deluge, though I use OpenVPN as a service for the VPN connection and SOCKS is just backup. At last test, SOCKS worked fine through the proxy.
I periodically test my proxy and it haven't failed me yet.
But which law is broken? If they don't have monopoly, they aren't abusing a monopoly.
I'm kind of confused by the summery, it states Google has "near-monopoly". They are being punished for "nearly" having monopoly? Either they have monopoly or they don't.
If they don't have a monopoly, they aren't doing anything wrong.
Anyone who rooted their android device, will know how to do that anyway. The only thing they are archiving is forcing people to use a potentially harmful unverified.apk instead of the offical package in the store.
Do yourself a favor and enable "Deferred updates". That way, you won't be in the "open beta test" pool and won't receive feature updates until some time after release.
It may seem like a joke, but I actually learned the basic logic from scripting in mIRC IRC client. I think it's python or TCL based scripting language. I moved to C afterwards, then C++ and so on, staying in C syntax languages.
I use it as an example when people ask me how I learned to code. My answer is always to "find something you use a lot and learn to modify it or figure out an small application you could use and learn to make it"

This is the same reason fast food restaurants exist; people are too lazy or don't have time to do it themselves.
This reads like one big challenge.
Why announce it like this? It's just like announcing you've made an un-crackable DRM; you're awaking the kraken.
I just started on "Gaunt's Ghosts", at the very beginning "First and Only". My neophyte adventure into Warhammer 40k.
Finished the last book of the second age in the Mistborn epic last week; "Mistborn: The Bands of Mourning"

And how many of these DOESN'T contain malware?
Well, Disney owns Marvel, so I kinda care.
I suspect this means all Marvel content will eventually be pulled from Netflix. I enjoy most of the Marvel series Netflix currently offer.
And they also own Pixar. I'm a grown man, but I still enjoy Pixar.
means that most people won't get to see those shows.
Yaaaaarr!!
Or setup your firewall.

Why do I grab on to my stabler when reading that?
Measuring RPM I'd assume.
I just got confused that the summery didn't mention the abuse of dominant market position and instead mentioned the irrelevant "near-monopoly".

Either they have monopoly or they don't.

I highly doubt that.
Most people don't know about this, the modding community is relatively small compared to new and returning buyers.
Well, they WANT to kill the player base for GTA V, since GTA VI is on the way.
And not all those users are developers.
So yes, they CAN have more users than there is developers.
When giving money directly to an officer of the law, we call it bribes.
So pretty much the same as what https://voiceattack.com/ does or am I missing something?
If you want to be taking just mildly serious, don't talk like that to anyone.
The only thing this does is forcing rooted android users to install Netflix from unofficial installers.
If you can root your phone, you know how to install .apk packages without Google Play Store. They won't be able to find a verified package.
Or install Netflix from a secondary source.
Anyone who rooted their android device, will know how to do that anyway. .apk instead of the offical package in the store.

As the article says, the app works just fine. You just can't install it from Google Play Store. No need for XDA to take care of anything.
Make a global platform, where the networks can add their catalogue.
I'd gladly pay $50+ for that.
Not $10 per network on each of their own software platforms that may, or may not, work on my devices.

Security updates will still go through.
