Our lives are already regulated by governments all the way to hell and back and look how messed up it is now.
Regulating internet will lead to more expensive and less efficient service for all. The only winning parties will be politicians and lawyers, as usual. The population always loses with regulation.
This is going to make top Go Daddy execs millionaires, and every other stockholder gets screwed after the execs flip and the stock tumbles down in the months following said IPO.
Protip: NEVER enter an IPO, no matter how awesome you think the company is. Wait and see how the stock performs over an extended period.
I'm pretty sick and tired of this crusade against capitalism all over the world, where anyone who makes a lot of money is either evil, unethical, or oppressive to his employees.
Then you have folks like Thomas Picketty who preach to the socialist choir, and writes all the shit the lefties wanna read. Nevermind he's a millionaire himself.
Anyone using tablets for an extended period of time (several months or a few years) and is not a senior citizen who uses it as his/her main Facebook/e-mail/lolcatz dumb terminal can confirm that the magic has worn off and his/her tablet mostly sits in a drawer or coffee table waiting to be used once in a blue moon, whether it's an iPad or Android device.
Once you're done playing the most popular free(mium) games and/or its clones, watched a few movies, and can't find a specific use case for it, tablets become semi-useful gadgets that you only pick up when you remember you actually own a tablet.
When you travel across the country and you don't know what kind of service station you'lll find along the way, diesel always wins. No alternative fuel even comes close to the reliability and availability of diesel engines, and that's not changing anytime soon.
I'm far from an EA fanboy. In fact, I hate them as much as the next guy, but...
How many of those games actually have a very active online community that's getting annihilated by this move?
That's right, none. Kids these days are pretty fickle and will move to the next online game and drop the last one, making it a barren wasteland online, as quickly as Carmen switched love affairs.
At least give Sony credit for sticking with their products for their entire life cycle, unlike certain companies that drop stuff like a hot potato *cough* Microsoft *cough* Sega *cough* if the first sales report is shit.
Question: why cannot the "professional" commercial makers do this sort of thing? Why are current car commercials always screaming at me?
Because, when it comes to car commercials, ad agencies are bound by so many rules and regulations regarding depictions of reckless driving and such things that it becomes almost impossible tp create a cool car commercial without running the risk of going to court over it (both the ad agency AND car manufacturer).
These kids are not bound by such ass backwards rules, thanks goodness.
An the car ads that scream at you are from dealerships, not manufacturers. I still remember JOE MYERS FORD (Houston, TX dealership) ad screaming in my ears despite not having seen it in over 10 years.
Please notice that this feature can be disabled in you Facebook account options. I'm at work and can't access it right now but I know the option is there, which takes care of both auto tagging (i.e. DeepFace) and manual tagging (i.e. your friends tag you on photos).
And It's not like your Facebook ID was issued when you were born, like your SSN or birth certificate. You willingly signed up for the service, so quit complaining about privacy bullshit, or quit using Facebook.
I find it hilarious that news corps expect me to pay them to access their sites, when all they do is sit on their asses copying/pasting shit from AP, Reuters, or Bloomberg (for financial news) like everyone else does. No wonder many news outlets (both online and in print) are tanking.
If they expect me to pay, I expect them to bring me some original, exclusive news coverage/articles that's not easily found elsewhere for free.

1. Set up VM
2. Download all the crap they ask me to
3. Profit
Seriously, what kind of idiot would download an unknown executable on his main PC to earn a fucking dollar?
No matter how much government tries to regulate something, no matter how much money is poured into lobbying, the free market forces always win.
:-)
Good riddance, I say.
Friedman, Hayek, and Mises were right all along!!
To play old rehashed upscaled PS3 games.

We need more Ron Pauls.
This is Disney we're talking about here.
And TNSTAAFL.
They'll obviously use it as a recruiting tool.

2. Watch amateur animations spring up online
3. Hire amateurs who create awesome animations
4. Save on training costs
5. Profit
+5 Insightful!!

Or wait until Apple figures it out and once again eats everyone's lunch.
Is figure out a way to get there within a human lifespan, with a couple caveats:
1. females need to get there in an early enough age to reproduce and start a colony.
2. figure out a way to get there before we destroy our own planet.
Do you think it would mop the floor with the competition simply because they'd make it so that any granny could pick it up and use it easily?
Does anyone actually reads those ridiculousy long tech reviews? Or just skip to the verdict/conclusion page?
They develop their game to the platform that already has the most users, thus maximizing their potential profit.
This is the kind of stupid question that's asked by geeks who diss MBAs.
