Really? Nintendo had it in their console license agreement that you could not use third-party controllers? Or that you could only use Nintendo-licensed third-party controllers?
The ONLY thing different between AVG's policy and Microsoft's is that AVG explicitly tells you what they are doing. A lot of companies are doing this, but they just couch it in vague terms like "data" or "information".
The funny thing is, now they claim they can [with this new subscription model] work more on doing things like fixing bugs and improving performance, because before, they had to spend all their time adding big new features, otherwise nobody would re-up each year.
They pretty much had to. From the comments section of their blog, it was pretty much 80/20 that people were going to dump their products if they switched to a subscription-only license. The only people who seemed to be for it were those who found it a lot cheaper [their 'toolbox' subscription, where you can use all their ide's is a lot cheaper than licensing all their apps separately].
I was going to dump it, but given the changes to their licensing scheme announced today, I'll probably stick with using the RubyMine ide.
The President could do it with an Executive Order.
And the legal casebook isn't really working because nobody has any standing to sue. You can't prove the gov't has data on you, because any proof you may have is automatically a State Secret.
Nevermind the gov't position that it is legal to capture and electronically process anything on the internet without a warrant. They ONLY need a rubber-stamp warrant when an employee actually views the data. Unless it's an emergency.
Simply put, your idea just cannot work when the people running the biggest businesses are more than willing to kill/financial wipe out/have imprisoned anyone to get a slightly larger bonus. While appearing before Congress demanding deregulation of their industry because it hurts their competitiveness.

I am clearly not the droid you are looking for.
Idiot.
It's the cloud man. You have to expect bits to go missing every once in a while.
No, they don't allow others to financially gain from information they own.
Only MS can profit from doing identity theft on their victims er clients.
Google Bermuda still alive and raking in all those patent fee's.
...and no baby...
They also forgot to turn off the A/C on the set they were using, so you can see it flap a bit.

How long before someone gets her to say “Math class is tough!” Or has Mattel explicitly hardcoded her to not ever saw that?
$400 billion pension payment...just like US gov't social security, keep punting the ball down the road...
It totally is. You just need to disconnect all the computers that are part of the cloud from the internet.

Yes. It just happens to be the case that some of his money is in your bank account.
Hand it over, punk.
The website, of course.

Are you talking about a tablet, the table, or the wall-mounted device?
Gotcha. No return address on the parcel.
It's this still theoretical, as I'm not aware of anyone on Earth being able to obtain a sample of the Sun, even for experimentation.
And he's taking it all with him.

They really like the freedom, until 'freedom' happens to them.
we're all at work. Otherwise, we'll be replaced by several H1B's.
It's not just the latest Wall Street crash.

But not really.
