The apps you are talking about are all clients. They are not servers. By your post, it seems all bittorrent clients are mired in legal battles. Also, as per your post, I am sure *AA will go after Microsoft any minute for letting their OS users install torrent clients!!
As for the OP - because nobody should have a choice or option, right? Because Apple has defined the model and is controlling it's walled garden, everybody else should, right?
Is the same same fragmentation all the 'bloggers' jumping up and down about Android being offered by different carriers? Yeah, that did not work out well, right?
Well, it's similar to how certain countries have better presence for certain businesses than others.
i.e. Outsourcing / back office / call centers - India Electronics - Japan, South Korea Cars - Germany, Japan etc
Once an ecosystem is in place for a given LoB, more people will join it. Weather it's legal or illegal depends entirely on how strict the laws are and what opportunities exist as alternative.
You are confused between Android OS and Android Apps. But don't let that interfere with your bashing of "open" and love for apple's walled garden. Please continue.
"it sounds like", "I don't think", "who knows", "I guess" - for such an ignorant man, you came up with "So really it was a storm in a tea cup" pretty fast. Amazing how drinking the kool-aid can purge you of all the ignorance in no time!!
Whom do we have here? Maharshi Yogi? I am with the GP and let me say that I would be as delighted if each and every exec asshole from BB loses all his/her money.
To be clear, I was mentioning their desperate effort with the blatantly false "no late fee" campaign when they were still charging arms and legs for late fees - the only difference was one or two more days for your renting period.
I am just glad to see them going down. A happy netflix user for last 5 years.
Browsing in a browser beats browsing physical media when it contains 100000 times more choices and not only crappy hollywood 'blockbusters'. Guess I am a picky kinda guy.
India has been doing this for years. It's not possible to get a sim card without a valid 'proof' of your identity. It's another matter that if the terrorists really want to get a sim card, this requirement wont stop them - as it's very easy to get forged documents.

I think that's what it comes down to finally. Malthus or even James Lee were probably and indirectly driving to the same point, albeit in very roundabout way.
True. He was not coherent by any means. But I think his points about unchecked consumption and destruction of natural resources are not far from true. It's another matter that he had lost it and went batshit on Discovery.
On related topic, Discovery network do need to take a look at their programming. I have gotten rid of cable now as those few 'better' channels started sucking long time back.
PS: Das Kapital - Do you know gutenberg.org still does not carry a copy?
As others have already pointed out, India has no 'official' religion. The only officially Hindu nation is Nepal. India is a secular country, where all religions are welcome.
Only the separation of Government and Religions never happened. Practically all elections ( village, city, state, nation) are decided based on religion and caste.
Gawker media has become Fox News of the blogs. But unlike Fox, their loyalty is only towards money - weather it's earned with facts, rumors or slanders.
Actually, this was one of the main reasons for me to choose PS3 over XBOX. I am not a gamer (games are just a bonus), my main use is Blueray movies + Netflix + UPnP player for my music. It was a crucial factor as I was ditching cable for good and had to make sure I get Netflix in place of it.
A friend of mine has XBOX and wants to ditch cable too, but he can't get Netflix on XBOX without paying and now he might end up paying even more.
Slashdot Mirror
That's very tangential of you.
WTF? This is +4 insightful?

Stop being apple's bitch.
"To be fair" - to whom??
Of course, it's apple. So "so what?". If it's android, it's "WTF??!! ZOMG!!!??!"
Really? +1 Insightful? Wow slashdot, way to go.

Wow. Very intelligent reply.
Just FYI - I don't even have an android phone. So shover your own fanboism up your arse. Some of us may actually not belong to either of the camps.

Well, to me it just proved that Netflix is an honest company

Oh.. you mean to say "no late fees" late fees.
You know what? You just broke teh INTERNET!!!!
But if an apple fanbois says there are 100M users, who are you to prove it wrong with mere facts?

However crazy he has acted or he sounds, he has some valid points.

Only the separation of Government and Religions never happened. Practically all elections ( village, city, state, nation) are decided based on religion and caste.
But still, there is no official religion.

Or they have watched too much of Dollhouse?
