I can't speak from experience but a lot of academic institutions put clauses in their contracts defining how ownership of inventions and discoveries are split between institution and employee. I don't think that any of them would expressly prohibit an open licence, but I can imagine a lot of researchers or their legal departments would be wary of trying to test the issue when a simpler option exists.
It seems to me that some good discussion of the potential legal issues from qualified people could help reassure authors and their employees.
A coordinated boycott would be nice, but shit like this always gets through because the market's large enough, and the sellers are homogeneous enough, that it's difficult to get a critical mass of people to opt out or switch.
Im sure you could find a bunch of unused icons on any windows , linux, amigaOS.
So? There aren't many - or any - unused graphical resources in iOS. Each time Apple has added something and not immediately used it (such as double-resolution textures for the iBooks app) it has subsequently become part of an actual software release (iBooks on the iPhone 4).
Your loss. I mean that sincerely: if you could get over your prejudices about the hobby you might actually enjoy yourself, but evidently you have quite the chip on your shoulder.
Well, it was for the whole store, but it was for 2010 and I'm having a real problem pinning down the relevant quote to the conference call it supposedly came from.
Not in a market like games where there are few choices of platform and they're all very similar. Supposing Sony does the same thing, and you decide to boycott them, Microsoft, Steam and Origin. It'd be like all your favourite games developers ceased to exist.
Interestingly enough, iTunes runs at around break-even, with Apple using it largley as a way of getting people to buy iDevices by ensuring there is content available for them. I wonder if this means that the market has shifted and it now has to pull its own weight as a profit-making part of the business.
The same GameStop that does its best to sell that "CoD kid" preowned games over new? Yeah, they'll be jumping at the chance to sell "Madden 2014 GameStop Can Eat It Edition".
The original source for the story - not the third hand one provided here - is Edge magazine. While this seems far fetched, they don't tend to post hardware rumours unless well-substantiated. I don't think they've run a story like this since they got the scoop on the GBA SP a decade ago.
That blog makes a lot of good technical points wrapped up in a shit tonne of "Lewandowski is a con artist who made up all his data because he is out to get my friends" that means nobody will ever, ever listen to it. Which ironically kind of makes a point about conspiracist ideation all on its own.
I can't think of a time that my research wasn't peer reviewed by someone referenced in the paper, if only because the references in the first paragraph usually round up everyone currently active in the field the paper discusses.
I think it's a hilarious mental image that you could have a shack in Kenya that can't even keep the lights on because of rampant energy efficiency measures, yet elsewhere in the world someone is creating mediciations that require a refrigerator. Or for that matter that someone is still making refrigerators, solar panels or light bulbs.
What an amazingly illogical rationing of resources that would be.
It would be interesting to see how the prevalence of conspiracist ideation holds in fields where people uncover actual conspiracies (e.g. police, investigative journalism, forensic accounting) versus the population at large.
I'm sorry that you don't like the big new words.:( It must be hard for you to talk to people about the numbers machine that talks to the other numbers machines through the long thin things carrying electricity or light.
A better simple-English translation would be "Going around and around anger: Tending to think things are caused by groups of secret unseen bad people in the computer talk place because of work looking at people who tend to think things are caused by groups of secret unseen bad people."

Yeah, it's not like Apple's decision to release a firstparty app for a popular service has ever had any newsworthy consequences.

I think you've got them confused with Google.

Well, that's progress at least.
Mortal man was not supposed to meddle with the font in the messages app.

They've discovered the secret to monetising malpractice.

They're buttons with a radio antenna on them, not "radio buttons" as in "buttons that only let you select one thing at once".
He's using it as an analogy, in that trespass and copyright infringement are both torts with no damage, harm or deprivation of property.

Only if you moonwalk.

The same things that got you to buy a PS3 and 360 when you had a PS2 and Dreamcast?
Ask Steam users how much of a difference that has made.
