Plus the most obvious difference: non-existent buffering for game streaming. Smallest hiccups in data transfer amounts to broken service / unplayable game. For video streaming like YouTube, multiple seconds are buffered.
Of course it is in the OS. Actually, it will be in both Windows and Android OS, leaving iOS as only major player without Chrome (with google tracking, privacy trashing URL-bar)
Yes, but EU is only one party that really cares, so you should simply flood everybody with proprietary and anti competitive garbage and see what sticks. Balmer's Microsoft lives on as Alphabet corporation.
There is room for two versions of microcode / kernel: default (slow) and root (fast) mode. In root mode there can be only one (root) user, but everything runs much faster. There is lot of offline computers (like supercomputers) which would benefit from this, even 20% of performance, it seems.

So, I guess all those Dyson spheres are rented by some intergalactic real estate agency, according to you?
As an European I am all for it, because Wild West model of Internet currently in use gave us here rise of extreme right-wing nuts, comparable to Trump. Obviously, freedom on Internet looked nice in those times, when proffesors and students chat and shared some data on Usenet and FTP. Now, it is pretty much destroying democracy. Fsck all that and censor fake news to the ground, that is the priority, not movies and music, there is torrent for that. Real problem is millions of mindless internet-informed zombies in polling place.
I would prefer it to be 5TB card with lots of redundancy using remaining 123TB, so that data would persist hundreds of years on average. I don't think my family will create more then 5TB of data in our entire lifetime anyway.
You are wrong. Multiple exactly same copies of the brain are sharing one and the same consciousness. Otherwise you would run into many unsolvable logical problems, when you interchange some atoms among these copies, as when one consciousness "moves" to other brain and when it still remains "here". Accepting, that consciousness is result of computation, not part of physical world is the only solution to this paradoxes.
Every moment of your conscious life think it is THE actual real present moment, while other moments are mere traces in memory. If you freeze one person, copy it, and move to far away exact copy of Earth, so that both copies of brain live exact same life, to the atomic level, both will share one and the same consciousness, until they divide by some difference. One consciousness on different places and even at completely different time! This means, that your consciousness can be linked to physically existing multiple copies of exact same brain in various places at various times. As soon as they diverge one from another, by random quantum changes firing random neuron, for example, you have equal chance to become any one of them.
Drop hundreds of billions of these from airplane over city, they will connect into encrypted wireless net, and you have "street view", but streaming live from everywhere, even from interiors of houses. If you think your privacy is violated by Facebook, hold on for this!
US corporations and laws are going wild-west version of capitalism obviously. Hopefully EU will explain Google this is not way to go. If they can go away with this, things will only get worse.
Obviously, price tag for ecological destruction of this poor planet is not added on any of those products, especially when it comes to transportation. This also makes new clothes cheaper then old clothes, which is only one instance of general rule that buying new stuff is usually cheaper then fixing existing for even minor problems.
thanks to webassembly, cloud and other technologies, this will be year of web desktop. It doesn't really metter what OS you are running*, all you need is browser, which is new desktop.
*except in case when some weird HW with specialized closed drivers need to be connected to your computer.
It is wasteful. You can replace 1 FM station with 13 DAB+ stations. Anyway, I would encourage switching to full 4G internet coverage everywhere, which enables infinite TV and radio capacity, among other things.
Amazon, Facebook and Google are few companies that will NOT have to pay. Nobody will ever buy internet service that doesn't have these 3 "base" services. Besides, many other services depends on Google and Amazon clouds. Smaller comanies will have to pay for their "place" in cable service, just like TV channels.
To think capitalism is compatible with democracy in the long run is simply foolish. Any company doing "good" eventually figures, that Chinese market is very big and very important, spying on Assange is necessary, donating millions to Republicans is unfortunate but good idea, etc. Also, power of capitalism is also so big, it can easily crush any rebellion, see Occupy case as an example. Both democracy and poor chinese guy are doomed anyway, as Google figured out.
Above 1 TB only geeks and IT companies care. Just like it was case for CCD above 10 Megapixel. At 1 TB disk is "solved" problem for general audience and things that matter now are performance and durability.
We are entering era when increasingly large parts of our planet will be exploitable only with special suits and vehicles, like if Earth we know begin slowly morphing towards Mars. I don't think there is hope for changing direction. Our brains, especially considering average human brain, is simply not built to handle this type of problems, simply because evolution never needed us to care about such things. People of the World will not elect Al Gore and politicians like him, except maybe in Europe. General public cannot process information of this scale and complexity to understand what is going on.
yeah, there must be compromise in a sense: "put as much of CPU/GPU power into Amiga form factor". I think this is what designers of Amiga and Atari ST had as a baseline requirement as well.

Since it is C++ framework, you need to learn at least one bullshit language.

Wait, I can hide all this stupid shit and have only logo? How?
Others where not part of 1%, so they can just fuck off.

For all we know, nature is following rules of logic and mathematics, she cannot perform IF/THEN, SWITCH or GOTO statements.

Not reallt, this will only affect US consumers. Luckily, Internet will hardly notice.
