Wait, I'm confused. This story suggests that this sale of the Microsoft share of MSNBC is a recent thing, but the summary says the sale happened in 2005. Is this old news, or did Microsoft have additional ownership that has recently (like within this calendar year) been purchased as well to finalize the split?
Well considering theaters are looking at going to 4D, aka smell-o-vision and moving seat speakers because the 3D thing ain't selling well enough I'd say maybe, just maybe, the fad is dying out.
Maybe they popped in their old copy of Matinee and thought, hey... there's an idea.
Perhaps their most surprising result is that posts critical of the government are not rigorously censored. On the other hand, posts that have the purpose of getting people to assemble, potentially in protest, are swept from the internet within a matter of hours.
That's not surprising. By leaving the critical posts up the government gives the illusion they aren't as oppressive as they are on free speech. The rally to protest on the streets is a much more public thing. The last thing the Chinese government wants is another "international news incident". Keeping the revolutionaries in their parents' basements is how they do that.
Apple's solution uses two peripheral lights to show two different images to each eye 'to create an enhanced viewing experience for the user.
All I thought of when I read that was that episode of Star Trek TNG where that addictive game shows up from Risa and everyone on the ship is playing it while the Enterprise is about to be stolen out from underneath them, except Wesley and Data.
Blank media tax is not brilliant. It presumes a crime/civil infringement will absolutely occur. Should I have to pay copyright tax for taping my kids birthday?
Well, the song "Happy Birthday to You" is copyrighted, so yes.
You seem to be assuming that Obama is actually behind this. The three letter agencies that make up the U.S. government don't ask for the President's approval every time they want to tie their shoes.
Sound familiar, kinda like extortion. Remember when the Mob approached local politicians and promised not to let out any of their secrets, for something in return?
"We just did it to make you open your wi-fi to the world, so everyone can have access using your internet connection!:P
That way people can pirate our movie and music works on your opwn Wi-Fi. Then we'll send threatening letters to you about this infringement. You'll settle the case without going to court, and we'll profit!"
No, seriously. We really need to have two separate versions of Firefox. The current one which gets a new version every other day can be for morons who see "ZOMG BIGGAR NUMBAR MUZT BEE BETTAR!!!!!" (seriously, there are *tech writers* who think that Chrome is better because it has a higher version number. These idiots should be hanged with a power cable)
If the "Googlers" are smart guys, doesn't that only show you'd have to be stupid to support the entertainment industry's view of how content should be bought, sold, and used?

Yup, looks like Microsoft really got burned on this one. Now their security clout is even more up in smoke.

Talk is cheap, so they let it run.

Correct. One for each viliage.
This makes the two truly matched.

Travel miles in a dark, confined space that smells of rotting garbage? I can't imagine a more pleasant way to get about!

Would that be so bad? Blade Runner didn't really have an ending either in the Director's Cut, which is considered the better version now.
TL;DR
Oops, your commercial lost your viewer's interest. Lot of good it did you to compose all that.
Woodworking in elementary school?
...is buying beef jerky not a legitimate use of Bitcoin or is 'beef jerky' a euphemism for some nefarious deed in the Bitcoin world?

Maybe it's a two-sentence headline...
"FBI Hunt for Child Porn. FBI Thwarted by TOR"
Someday the average man will realize the genius of the writing in Guilty Crown.
It wasn't too bad overall. That last line was unnecessary, though.
I was quite surprised when I learned last month that Amazon doesn't have an MP3 store for Canada.

There is the Firefox Extended Support Release versions. The current one is based on Firefox 10.
Why is everyone hating on Facebook? It's just a shitty company.
Did you just answer yourself?
If you only watch 2 or 3 TV shows regularly, is it more expensive than a DirecTV package?
It's more expensive that a streaming plan on Netflix or Hulu.
If the "Googlers" are smart guys, doesn't that only show you'd have to be stupid to support the entertainment industry's view of how content should be bought, sold, and used?
I'd rather have a voice-only plan for smartphones.
