everything I read pretty much confirms what I thought, that is a non-announcement basically.
Meanwhile, I agree that nobody would work with yahoo. Yahoo's on the way out, and it's their own decision to allow themselves to be controlled by MS and resultant failure.
Has anyone realized yet that working with microsoft directly taking payments basically means your company's going to go out of business?
Seeing yahoo open up their information excluding whatever core technology might not allow much if anything to be used, but that also might not be the scenario here. Can anyone comment who knows about the software source behind what they are supposedly opening up? Is this a big deal?
Can you be traced to an IP address? The answer is and will always be, no.
Can an IP address be traced to a MAC address and/or general geolocation? Yes. Is that data accurate? Not necessarily, and there's pretty much no guarantee of accuracy. Do ISP's give a shit who is using their cable modem as long as it's paid for? No.
Just because "I found an IP address accessed at X time and Y cable modem" does not mean that you can truly verify anything beyond the cable modem without far more info (and a violation of plenty of laws without a warrant).
I said pandora was "basically" spotify. If you add a stream for a song, the first thing they will play for you is that song. And then probably not again for a while. If you want to repeat the same song over and over go download it as mp3. $120/yr is not worth the cost no matter what they offer, at least to me. I barely even can rationalize $38 or whatever it is.
Saying GPL is bad for open source is like saying the sky is the ground.How about a little less contradiction and pull away from the reality of that this is about Apple, and apple's bad decision, as opposed to distracting with a huge ass spam writing that is anti- GPL?
no, please let this be. This cracks me up. This is like closing a pinhole leak in a door but leaving the door open. The site suggests filtering of inbound and outbound emails, even though anyone leaking things who knows what they are doing will get around that incredibly easy.
Steganography, easily done without using steganography. Rename a file to a different file type, and send it to someone. Done.
This always cracks me up, I mean what's wrong with people spending their money on things other than music?
Is this idea so outside of the RIAA that they cannot acknowledge that just because money isn't spent on music, it might be spent on tickets, or music downloads, or other things within the economy?
They will not even come close to succeeding, and here's the proof:
how many of these lawsuits found anyone guilty of anything? How many have settled due to a judgment? Answer: zero. The only settlement to date, was a private one with samsung where samsung buckled to MS and did not go to court at all.
Other than that, none of settled, and none have found conclusively on anything. That should tell you how well android is doing, that all we have is misinformation to "Scare people away".
It's way too late to stop android, beyond of which that even if android is found "guilty", what are you going to do? Stop distribution? Ms aims to stop at the manufacturer level, but if they really wanted they could ship devices with nothing but firmware to let people flash the roms themselves. It's quite impossible to prevent distribution.
More like a facepalm for sighing. Google doesnt' sue for patents, they just use them to protect themselves. So I wouldn't worry about them so much as oh, you know, microsoft, oracle, apple? duh.
the article raises points everyone has before, a million times. This is not new. This as strawman'd in the article, has nothing to do with mobile apps. How many times do I have to say this?
governmental control of IANA and such means a whole fucking lot more than "omg people on mobile apps and HTML5"
This has nothing to do with mobile apps. This has everything to do with IANA and other DNS-centric groups, specifically one which is controlled by the US government, and they are using as a tool for censorship.
Thus, the end result is, we cannot rely on the US government, if they are willing to censor and defame (and defile) the internet.
"splinternet" is not at all accurate however, as the web is not "splitting", it's just the underlying DNS controls are being taken away from US government control.
Nobody can say whether Tmobile gained as many from android as it lost from iphone because nobody has any fucking clue. Only this moron who you replied to believes in the fud.
It hardly is attributed to the iphone for that matter, either. What I was trying to point out was, if tmobile is shrinking, there is more to that picture than the iphone, especially considering that android has more marketshare than iphone now anyway.

The "you" here is the wrong focus.

Guess what will be MS's concern? The copyright infringement case with I4I, in which this new MS-pushed law can be used directly against them.
I said pandora was "basically" spotify. If you add a stream for a song, the first thing they will play for you is that song. And then probably not again for a while. If you want to repeat the same song over and over go download it as mp3. $120/yr is not worth the cost no matter what they offer, at least to me. I barely even can rationalize $38 or whatever it is.
Don't think this doesnt' go both ways. I4I could absolutely sue microsoft under this law to block their copyrighted products.
So "the law of unintended consequences" will strike down on microsoft immediately if this passes.
Because the politicians love the profits it makes for their local governments.
Or do you think this whole red light fiasco is about saving lives?

pandora works in the us. Paid version $36 a year, unlimited listening, basically it's spotify. Outside the US, use spotify. Problem solved.
bahahahahaha seriously? Go look around.
You know what content scanners depend on? Knowing the type of content. You don't even need an extension to mask that.
so that they can make mistakes and post incredibly misinformed or biased articles, including tests that aren't even repeatable, reliable, or honest.

Uh, you're kinda behind. IE and Firefox have already been patched, no doubt chrome too.

This is not true, and it has never been true.
Companies such as barnes and nobles are HUGE companies who do not buckle to the likes of Microsoft.
If they went after you or I? We'd be fucked without EFF support. However, the companies they're suing over android are in no way small fry.
Are you a republican? they'd be proud of that kind of logic.
Let's try it this way, which has already been proven: has google sued anyone over patents?
Your focus is on fear, and thus idiotic.
hint: no.
Are you afraid to breathe because someone might patent it? That's a microsoft response.
Google hasn't sued anyone for patents, they don't need to. Get over the fucking FUD.
Oh man, how did I miss this? From the article:
Yes, that Florian. Why do people even bother printing articles from the man?

Let me some up your entire post in 1 word: no.

If it's closed, of course! It'll even heat the food for you!
