Simply put, an addiction is the continued use of a drug despite clear negative effects. If you take away the negative effects, then they aren't really addicted. Kind of like the millions of perfectly functional people that depend on caffeine.
DRM is the opposite of an open standard. Duh! DRM means that your browser (and possibly the computer it runs on) will have to be certified to behave just the way the DRM masters tell it to. How is that in any way compatible with a so-called open standard.
In a way, isn't that what the plea bargaining system does? If you deny the crime and plead innocent and are found guilty you'll get a much longer sentence than if you had admitted it up front.
Good point. It is not his duty to prove it. But smart ideas alone are not going to convince California taxpayers to invest a few billion dollars in something that has never before been built. Someone is going to have to prove it.
If the technology is all ready then why doesn't he build a test track out in the desert to prove it?

I purchased a few videos from Amazon, thinking they would play on any browser with flash. Turns out that when chrome went with pepper for flash they no longer played. The DRM got in my way as a paying customer. Lesson learned.

What way is apt better than yum? Can it do delta downloads? Download multiple packages at the same time?
Good news everyone! Chrome isn't just a browser. It's an OS.

The tube sites have everyone covered for a few millenniums worth of porn. Who needs torrents?
I guess you could consider deliriants like nutmeg to be drugs, but I think most people would consider them to be poisons.
How often do users get into that type of hole? It might happen if you enable too many addon repos or are running a development branch.
This wouldn't be that big of an issue if they offered the device with a decent amount of built in storage.
The blue whale also doesn't have to support it's weight on it's limbs.
Well why where they so large? Where they endothermic, and the large body mass helped them conserve heat?

I guess you wouldn't like Bathory then, which is a shame.

Just use chromium/chrome and whitelist javascript and flash. It makes the browser actually usable on a netbook.
