Google has to comply with the laws of the countries in which it operates. Texas is prevented by the bill of rights from passing laws that limit freedom of religion and religious commentary, so Texas could not legally issue a court order demanding that Google remove such content.
Saudi Arabia and India apparently can, though. Google's choice is to either comply with the laws of those nations or simply cease operations in those nations. Considering that no nation on earth has truly unlimited freedom of speech, let alone the US, it makes sense to make occasional court-ordered concessions by removing data accessible in those countries.
Whoever owns the copyright on Tetris could probably sue whoever made KBlocks without much issue. However, KBlocks is not developed by a massive corporation making fistfuls of money on the game.
If Zynga released KBlocks as a Facebook game then the Tetris people would sue them and win.
What different options? I've played Tiny Tower, and looking at the Dream Heights screenshots is like looking at Tiny Tower with different graphics. All the gameplay elements are 100% identical. I see absolutely nothing whatsoever in Dream Heights that isn't in Tiny Tower.
Well my dad just got a new 70" Sharp LCD. It's "smart."
He watches Netflix and Youtube videos on it. He has no HTPC and no interest in buying a Roku or something to hook up to it, giving him yet another remote control to deal with. He's pretty happy with it.
The next time a conventional war breaks out, we won't have time to tell our enemies to hold on for a decade or so while we develop and produce a bunch of new warplanes. If the US does not continue to create new aircraft that can maintain air superiority, someone else will.
No, but having a monopoly in one area legally precludes you from leveraging that monopoly to boost your business in other areas (mapping, advertising, email, online video, online document editing, mobile operating systems, etc etc etc).
I think he's commenting on the fact that AT&T wasn't allowed to sell it because it wasn't related to telephones, and now it's at the core of today's most popular telephones.
Sure, PS3-like graphics... except the PS3 is doing it at 1280x720 or 1920x1080. This will be pushing probably 20-40%% of the pixels.. and doing so in 2 years, while the PS3 hardware is 5 years old (to the day).
So, no, I don't think that a chipset that will, in 2013, do 20% of the job that 2006 hardware does will be making its way into high-end PCs and consoles soon.
I'm not sure about the DHS, but his plan definitely calls for the elimination of the TSA and a huge cut in military budgeting. The plan calls for an immediate withdrawal of all war funding and bringing our troops home with an immediate spending freeze.
This is not at all unusual. The best 1% of people at something are enormously better at that something than the average. This applies to virtually everything. The top 1% of NFL players make a large portion of overall money, and the only reason it's not higher is because of salary caps. The top 1% of money-makers in the US earn something like 15% of all the money.
Oh, and comparing a Macbook Pro to an Inspiron is laughable. Have you ever used an Inspiron? Maybe if you had compared to an XPS or Thinkpad, but an Inspiron? Come on man.
The 15" Macbook weighs almost 2 pounds less than the 15R. The Macbook is smaller, lighter, and gives almost *twice* the battery life. The build quality advantage is enormous as well. The Inspiron 15R and 15" Macbook Pro are not comparable machines.

Average temperature anomaly for the past 15 years: 0.5 C
The 15 years before that: 0.2 C
The 15 years before that: 0.04 C
You were saying?
These aren't patents. It's copyright.

Are you on drugs?
Did you agree to an EULA when you plugged in your TV and started watching Fringe?

AdBlock Plus runs on Chrome. It's in Google's Chrome Web Store.
I have 2 or 3 bottles of this stuff in my camping equipment. That it's all been packed by this one guy in his garage blows my mind.
And do you know of any phones that allow you to play games at 1080 using the HDMI output? No?
Neither do i.
I was addressing the question at the end:
"could we be seeing ultra-low power hardware in high-end PCs and consoles soon?"

I see Kawasaki, Mitsubishi, Fuji, and Toray listed there.
Not ANA.
ANA is an airline, not a heavy industry manufacturer.

It can change in the future, absolutely.
But it has never been done so far.
This has never happened. They do not do this and the state has specifically said it will not.

What was that?
I'm sorry, I can't read when 6-digit UIDs post.
Anyone else thinking these guys may have had something to do with the hack themselves?
You can't replace someone's mother.
You can replace a shipping container full of t-shirts.
Because those games are not created by the US government or US Army, nor are they used as training tools for actual soldiers.
