No one said anything about owning the software. In the contraty, this is usually about NOT running the manufacture provided firmware. (OpenWRT for example)
Or to stick to your restaurant example in its full absurdness: We are talking about paying a menu in a restaurant and then leaving early and cook at home instead. (The main difference is, that most of the money paid for a tv is for the hardware, and so writing of the cost for software you paid for by not using it is usually neglegible.)
Speakerphone is the worst thing you can do to your opposite anyway. As if regular phones wouldn't degrade sound quality enough. Plus, you hear your background noise plus the other partys office noise, everyone starts to shout.
Gathering people in a meeting room around a speakerphone is even worse. If one person needs to be added to a meeting via phone, everyone should just stay in front of their machine and fire up a decent video conference software. One camera per head, one microphone per head. Helps much more than one camera per 10 people around a table
its a continuous run game with some interesting level layouts. Were people expecting a full on Mario game?
With a price double as high as other great games: yes.
If it's an Flappy Bird style game, the price has to compete with flappy bird. Yes, high-res sprites with a popular cartoon char can offset that, but not by several 100%. And with the gaming experience that forced always-online-games deliver in trains and subways, it's probably less fun than Flappy Bird and no brand tie-in will save it anymore.
But most phones still should have separate settings for those Broadcasts. Separate, yes, active by default, yes. Look for "cell broadcasts". I can confirm that I have those settings and turned them ON, hoping that someone would be clever enough to finally use them for public alerts. Still nothing, but it worked when I was in the US.
Supercomputers are given away today in cereal boxes and kids complain about how hard they have it....
no, they dont complain. which is part of the problem.
as long as facebook and instasnap are running on their phones, they are fine.
with a c64 or any other computer back at the days, you couldnt do anything without putting some effort or creativity in.
as a poster said two posts up, we asked oursekves: how can we make our own games? THAT is was no one does anymore. computers became the new TVs, consuming pre made software
it's about not showing texts, but still keeping the phone useable as a GPS or radio. For bonus points: Read out incoming texts through text-to-voice automatically and the music apps switch to some large button GUI, search through voice and "feeling lucky" only rather than showing long result lists.
and, yes.. well... block the start of Candy Crush and Angry Birds completly for those without self control
I think China can do quality, too, if you ask them to and pay for it.
Germany on the other hand would show you the door if you asked them to do cheap. That's a matter of labor costs/cost of living and pride over here. So we rather come up with something that's worth the premium as we know that we have to compete with China and no one will shell out more if you can get the same quality elsewhere.
According to the summary, this should work like airplane mode.
So, how does your phone detect that you're in an airplane? Right. It doesn't. It relies on the user putting the phone into a mode that can be operated safely in a plane.
So, the driver and only the driver would set his phone to car mode. In other words: This is about having all manufacturers something like "Android Auto".
Then there would be no reason to sue. The software vendor would know if licences were floating or site or any other kind that would make 500000 copies legal.
The mission of modern effective engine control is to adopt to current situation and run the engine in a way that delivers the power needed in this situation with minimum exhaust/fuel. In any situation. Including tests.....
Line between adaptive motor control and defeat device became blurry.

Yes, it is absurd to want the rights to the tv software. But no one wants that.

If you had ever worked in IT development then you should know that what someone order is usually not what they want, too.
if you're good at it, delivering what you think the costumer wants is the key to success.
Or to paraphrase Henry Ford: People would order faster horses.

And now nintendo will make a statement that without hard controls and buttons, good games can't be made
IMHO, that's true enough for Mario-Style Jump'n'Runs.
And dumbing it down to a "Jump'n'Nothing" gave us exactly that. a dumb game.
You probably can't make a good text adventure with mouse input either.
Is anyone else slightly worried by this?
Like... if government and law enforcement aren't allowed access to that data, who else are they having as customers at their datamining company?
So shifting jobs to low wage countries has come a full circle.
The Euro is probably readily exchanged but has not been quite as stable and is probably not usable as a local currency.
Please define a "stable" exchange rate when referring to a single currency.
A Euro has always been a Euro and will always be a Euro, but remember how the USD tanked to 1,055 Eur minutes after Trumps election?
You probably wouldn't do that in coins anyway.
Then we better schould get ready to receive more "Fashion Alerts"

All that would switch in a special mode.

If that isn't the ship that has to file a budget request each time before firing a shell...

they would have been long forbidden if they actually had.
This is what happens when both parties scrape the gunk off the bottom of the barrel, and then nominate it for president.
Hmm.. so I guess it was a fair fight after all... somehow....
I would more than happily accept the millions that they still get as regular salary without bonus.
The Navy actually operates one?
No.. it's too expensive.... :-)

Which would give everyone not being "more equal" jail time for hacking under the DCMA. Well, just throw in a good measure of blanket terrorism.

cheques? How quaint.... I haven't seen cheques since the mid 90s.
