Does Debian's package management system include payment processing? If not, payment integration could be considered Apple's inventive step over the prior art.

The problem with the "no wireless" part of the comparison back then was the Nomad didn't have wireless either.
Several Creative Nomad models included an FM radio, which is more wireless than anything on the first generation iPod classic. In fact, a lot of present-day smartphone chipsets include an FM radio, but carriers have disabled them to sell bigger data plans.
AT&T pretty much nailed the real concept of a smartphone [...] as one might recognise it with a decent UI and apps, except it needed a remote application server
In other words, AT&T invented the iPhone 1, which depended on web applications running on remote application servers and accessed through HTTPS.
Heck, they weren't even the first to put multitouch on a phone. What they did was combine all those elements in a way which didn't suck.
Which meshes with Apple's acquisition in 2005 of the patent portfolio and other assets of FingerWorks, whose engineers invented multitouch gestures that didn't suck.
Intentionally limiting your audience by using an image codec that is less fit for purpose is bad for business.
Deal with it.
Adam Orth's "#dealwithit" quip is the sort of attitude that drove prospective eighth-generation console customers to PlayStation 4. And even Microsoft's backpedaling on Xbox One's always-on requirement still didn't temper Sony's early lead.
The ultimate game design is the one you don't even know you're playing. Welcome to LifeSim (TM) where you sit in a cube and just code all day.
Nintendo could make that right now if it wanted. It could start with Animal Crossing, nerf fishing and shaking trees, and add another source of Bells by getting people to like your WarioWare DIY and Super Mario Maker creations.
Huh? Is there some rule that anything symphonic must have been written over 100 years ago?
"Symphonic" refers to a composition for orchestra or concert band in usually four movements, with the first in sonata form.
But I think the rule that people are getting at is that the composer has to have died over 70 years ago. Or in the United States, the sheet music needs to have been published more than 95 years ago or before 1923. Until the music belongs to the people, it's a "commercial product" more than it is "art".
Paywalled sites, such as The Wall Street Journal and scholarly journals that aren't open access, keep up their SEO by stuffing most of the keywords in the abstract.
If the majority of sites in the top ten results from a major search engine look like WSJ or Elsevier/Wiley journals, with a paywall or anti-ad-blocking measures required to view past the first paragraph, the web will become a more frustrating place. I have already run into this problem with paywalls when I search for certain linguistics topics on Google.
If your web browser is vulnerable, then a script in a page that you view can attack your box even if it isn't an advertisement. Get a web browser that isn't vulnerable, such as a web browser that runs in a sandboxed process.
I agree that DNS-level blocking is effective. It was effective for TWX, who blocked ads on a DNS proxy built into a home router. But it relies on an anomaly in the present web advertising market, namely that ads are delivered from a different hostname from the rest of the site. Thus a site can defeat it by serving the ads and the rest of the site from the same hostname.
the program I built for custom hosts file generation is completely FREE, no strings attached
Does it come with the ability and right to make and distribute improved versions? If not, that's a string.
It's become common for a user to read only one article on each of ten sites when he finds articles through web search, citations from other sites, or social sharing. How is anybody going to be willing to subscribe to each of those sites? A pay per page model would have to deal with transaction fees that payment processors charge, which are fairly large for the credit card networks. Even Bitcoin imposes a fee of 0.0001 BTC (currently 2.5 cents) on any transaction smaller than 0.01 BTC (currently 2.50 USD) to discourage "dust spam".
However, I'm not running scripts unless I have a compelling reason to do so.
Then watch sites twist overage costs on cellular and satellite Internet into such "a compelling reason":
"Many ISPs meter your data. To save you money, this photo collection uses WebP compression. There are two ways to view it: switch to a web browser supporting WebP, or enable JavaScript to use our Canvas WebP decoder."
"Many ISPs meter your data. To save you money, we deliver only the parts of the article that you actually read. To continue reading past the lead paragraph, please enable JavaScript."
But you still need enough stations to have all cars connected, or you need to provide for the labor of connecting each in turn while its driver is in the work site.
Electrically they are a pain because they are 40A at 208V, which makes provisions for more than three a bit of a challenge; 480V units would be much easier to accommodate.
How much does it cost to step 480 V down to 208 V at that current?

Does Flappy Crush even have music?
universities aren't for profit corporations
True, not all regionally accredited universities are for profit. Some are though, such as the University of Phoenix (NASDAQ: APOL).

Poor people can't have as much as regular people.

Back when PNG was new, image size was a bigger concern.
At 3 GB/mo for mobile cellular data or 10 GB/mo for home cell/sat, it's still a concern.
Then have a program that spoofs that crap and sends the "yessir, it has been viewed" back to the server.
The information needed to compute the "yessir, it has been viewed" is unavailable without downloading the whole thing.
Paywalled sites, such as The Wall Street Journal and scholarly journals that aren't open access, keep up their SEO by stuffing most of the keywords in the abstract.
Even if you remove JavaScript support entirely from your browser, can you prove your browser's HTML, CSS, and image decoding engines are invulnerable?
"This is illegal, you know."
Marriott got fined over half a million dollars for jamming guests' Wi-Fi.
Because Apple is a U.S. corporation, and AAPL's price is denominated in U.S. Dollars.

If your web browser is vulnerable, then a script in a page that you view can attack your box even if it isn't an advertisement. Get a web browser that isn't vulnerable, such as a web browser that runs in a sandboxed process.
Put them on a very slow download rate, basically rate limit the ads so they take much longer to download than you would spend on the page.
Then watch the other elements on page not finish downloading until the ads are completely downloaded and their display is confirmed.

[on] my home consumer-grade broadband router [...] I had forgotten how many of the mainstream ad servers I'd manually blocked by hostname
APK would be proud of you.
This has a countermeasure: deliver only the first paragraph to NoScript users (and to search engine robots), and deliver the rest through AJAX.
Applying Nintendo-class developer qualifications and overhead costs would just hand the market over to Windows and Android. Apple knows this.
