I'm not going to defend this as a good or a bad idea, but by having a separate authoritative channel, they've basically made it possible to verify that someone who posts a review of a product actually owns the product, rather than just being a troll or a shill.
Could work in the other direction too, making people think you didn't buy something just because you paid in cash.
It may not match your morals or ethics but neither of these are universal. The vast majority of the people that comprise the construct we call society have agreed that it is better to restrict unfair moves that would diminish the competition in a market and thus hurt the principle we use to encourage development in a market.
Apple does not own that property by law and the law will not allow them to buy it. The law does not state that you can do anything you want with your property, it recognizes that every member of society (even the fictitious members like corporations) has a duty towards society that starts with basic things like not hurting others and goes into many more complex directions that have evolved to fit the reality of the world we live in. Owning a handgun does not give you the right to shoot others, owning a car does not give you the right to ignore traffic rules and owning a company does not give you the right to behave anticompetitive.
shouldn't your first problem, before Matt & Trey, be with the second most populous denomination of Islam, the Shi'a, who apparently have no problem with depictions of Muhammad?
Isn't that actually the reason for most of the terrorism in Afghanistan and Iraq now?
I believe the CoDMW2 manual has like 6 pages on the actual game, just vague descriptions of the stuff in the game. And that for the increased retail price?
For a complex game that's not a good solution because you may need to have the manual at hand while playing the game to look things up, most games don't survive being alt-tabbed out of.
EULAs come with a clause that prevents an invalid claim from invalidating the entire EULA so they throw as much bullshit in there as they can to intimidate any non-lawyers.
Nobody, especially a government, has the right to tell ARM/Apple what they can or cannot do with their property because they do not own it.
Oh? So who makes sure that right is preserved? Isn't it the police? Isn't it the government that enforces all the rules that Apple needs in order to exist? Isn't it the government that maintains all the infrastructure Apple requires to do its job? Isn't it the government that provides the money Apple uses to trade? The government is the entity that makes sure you can have private property and hold onto it, in return it expects certain rules to be followed, like not buying companies that provide crucial components to your competitors in order to lock them out.
Well, that's what happens when you run your logistics JIT. They knew the risk, they took it, they better have a contingency plan for this type of failure.
(note to 'crats: this is 90% of what a union does - push up wages when they feel the company can afford it)
Well, yeah, that's what people pay their union membership fees for. The raises I've seen unions reach have usually been way below the annual inflation. Would suck for the workers to get no inflation adjustment at all, at least this way they're negating some of the damage.
I think the ash density is simply too low over Europe to do any real cooling (or even affect wildlife on the ground) but a plane will suck it in and accumulate it where it doesn't belong.
Also I doubt lava leads to any significant atmosphere warming.
They have a duty to keep up at least the infrastructure. Also by the sounds of it they didn't make a new sports stadium, they bought it from a private owner so the citizens would have a stadium even without that investment. The parks aren't going to be funded by anyone else though.
I believe the EU handles VAT by making the seller pay the VAT in his home country and prohibiting any duties or taxes on importing from EU countries so the buyer's country cannot charge extra for that. Maybe the federal government could create a similar rule in the US.
Yeah but that wasn't an engine limitation so much as a design limitation, destroying anything sounds fine until you try leading the player through your predefined set of corridors and realize he can just blow a hole into any of your carefully designed setpieces.
The touchscreen works fine for FPS on the DS, not the iPhone though. The DS has the touchscreen separate from the main view and buttons in addition to the screen, on the iPhone you can only use your thumbs for movement and button pressing so aiming and firing tends to be very clunky.
Accelerometers aren't the right approach for aiming but the Wii's IR pointer function works perfectly. Doesn't allow turning as fast as the mouse but a properly designed game accounts for that.

So in other words, to avoid detection everyone should wear a Rorschach mask?

Not all games offer multiplayer so once you're done you're done.

Do the hospitals at least forward these illegal immigrants to the government office responsible for kicking them out again?
Humans instinctively talk louder when they can't see their conversational partner.

Yes but you'll rarely see a 20 hour singleplayer mode outside of RPGs these days.

Which came first, the disease or the cure?
It matters for acquisitions, the govts will step in if they fear that an acquisition will lead to a monopoly even if there are no signs of abuse.
The latter, pirates hiding treasures on islands leads to volcanic eruptions when some hero comes along to unearth the treasure.
You also need advanced radiation shielding if you need those astronauts on site alive.

Nintendo is planning on glasses-free 3D on the next DS. Apparently that's more feasible for small, single user screens.
Yeah but you don't need those for previewing purposes, do you?
