What's broken with TV is that it hasn't followed technology like computers have. Where our "You might also like"? Where's our search engine? Where's real customization and international options? When TVs have the flexibility and efficiency of computers, then all we'll be talking about are specs and which models play which games.
All in all, if TVs weren't broken, there wouldn't be Apple/Google TV, Tivo, PVRs, VCRs, BluRay, etc...
Do you really think that Pfizer did ALL the work necessary to come up with that drug? Did they create the instruments, develop the process, invent the chemicals?
No one gets anywhere alone, it's time the economy started to reflect that.
I don't care what it costs, people will do the research anyway because they know someone or themselves are afflicted with the condition. I just don't buy that we'll stop innovating if patents and copyrights disappear. There will still be profit to be made and there will still be incentive to make that profit. The only difference is that competition will drive down prices and drive up quality.
How can you have capitalism AND government granted monopolies at the same time? It doesn't make sense.
If ever you want to see if an idea or concept is ludicrous or not, imagine yourself trying to explain it to an Alien race. You'd seem so petty and selfish for insinuating that you charge for information and claim complete dominion over things such as melodies, rhymes, sequences of tones and harmonies.
Our race would not have achieved what it has if it weren't for every single contributing factor in the grander scheme of things. No one 'invents' anything alone, it's about time we start freely sharing what we have with anyone it can benefit.
OK so the Mozilla team thinks releasing new versions every other day is a good thing. Have they ever considered that it might actually take users time to find and report all the bugs in the first place? There's more just the programmers involved when it comes to perfecting software...
See the differences in the brain between age 25 and 50? How about 50 and 80?
Maybe it's, *gasp*, aging and experience! Somehow I don't think that the way the brain looks has any real effect on what makes us consider someone an adult or not. However, for the sake of argument I still call 'no child'. She is clearly a teen.
DRM actually stands for "Digital Retard Monetization", because let's face it, you'd have to be daft to buy something with restrictions when the free and unlocked versions are even easier to obtain.
Apps? APPS?! There's an app for that, it's called Safari. You can do anything in HTML5 now that you could do in an app and the iProducts have one of the best and most compliant browsers out there. So now it's a prison without walls or bars. Good job thur.
Am I the only one who has 1000 mp3s, 10 of which were from the iTunes store in my iTunes? Am I the only one that has 700+ TV shows and 300+ movies in my iTunes, none of which were purchased through the iTunes Store?
If iTunes is a prison, then it's content is cigarettes.
Wouldn't you just place dots on a grid representing ink at the edges of any given slice and then match it within a few percentage points off against the dots along the edge of all other slices?
Can I patent that and prevent the other 7 billion humans out there from using my idea for the next 20 years?
Any adversary that prints out confidential information and then disposes of it in a way that even allows for the possibility of reconstructing it isn't much of an adversary.
Typical consumers don't know or care what OS they are running, muchless what it means. If they can make phone calls, get email and check a website or two, they are happy.
Wouldn't a cure be all around better than a preventative vaccine? It seems like economies of scale make any sort of vaccine cocktail impractical as the number of available vaccines grow. I mean, in 100 years are we going to be pumping our babies full of drugs so that they MIGHT avoid some kind of disease?
Is it really the patent system or just a huge influx of technical patents that the patent office didn't have the man power to actually do any homework on. I mean, do you actually think that the people accepting those patents fully understood them before inking the stamp and certifying that garbage?

In fact, by definition they do do this as they act as the intermediary between any two devices.

and where can I get some? preferably some that last longer than a second.
What's the point of downloading at those speeds if actually doing so for a day wins you overage fees?

World sees reality, world freaks out.

Hey, he can afford a computer and an internet connection. He even has a Slashdot account!

or 'imaPhone'
Stargate.
by the same gear, so wouldn't any error affect both speeds/times?
Mars needs women.
