All price indications I have seen show that it is going to be very expensive without a contract. In the Euro 800+ range. That is twice as much as I am willing to pay for a device that may be fun or cool, but I don't basically need.
Latency sucks. It is simple to device tests like these to show bandwidth is limited. Heck, just load a truck with LTO tapes and ship them a few hundred miles to beat even very fast connections.
Not everyone are interested in research, features and technical details. Some people - a lot actually - buy stuff because of brand (think prestige like B&O and Rolex; or hip factor or for some other perceived real or imaginary value), design, color or just on impulse. Sure most of/. readers do proper research and read reviews and some of us expects the rest of the world is just as rational.
You would do well to study some of the personality profiling methods like MBTI or DISC to learn to understand why people do not react as you expect them to do.
While your explanation is informative, I still think that fails if licensed IP is involved in the equation.
If a company has to license a given technology from a vendor (e.g. HDCP from Intel) and pay fees per unit sold (HDCP fees for keys are quite low - in the cent range) that fee is part of the cost of the unit.
The same goes for a lot of licensed IP. Lite-On pays Sony (and others) for Blu-ray rights, Philips (and others) for DVD IP. That increases the cost of the unit.
So at least, in some cases, R&D costs is passed directly to the user in form if IP license costs.
IBM makes more than 1 Billion USD a year in license agreements.
And you think that the cost of that R&D isn't passed on to customers? The price other companies pay to License the DRM protected technologies (in order to build devices, TV's etv) is meant to help cover R&D expenses - including DRM.
Perhaps no exec from Google were willing to leave a successful company, in order to join a company that is struggling (and so far failing) to stay relevant in the High-end phone market? I know Nokia still sells a lot of phones, but they are mostly in lower profit area of the market.
He has the needed software for the FPGA, but he has (so far) been unable to find some software to run on the machine. At least that is what I got from the TFA. It seems like no-one (including various 3 letter agencies) have copies of stuff so "old". Never the less, I have to admire the effort put into this.

And if you read further down, you'll see that it may be used for atmospheric studies. So it is just a science station where some bored or drunk guys sometime "messages" for the hell of it.

You'll only need 8 Mb/sec to get that 2.7 TB over a 30 day period. If I fully utilized my (Danish connection) I could get more than double of that. Koreans and Japanese would get 20 times. I suspect both UL and DL are included.
No, scientists are not required to publish emails, letters, phone calls etc. They are supposed to publish papers. Those papers should be peer reviewed to ensure that the science in the paper is sound (not necessarily *right* - a published theory may later be proven wrong).
The letters in question were hacked from a mail server and released by the hackers. I am not a scientist, I am sure some other/. reader can clarify and elaborate, if they so wish.
No, they are asking HTC to license because the feel that Android infringes on MS patents. They are in no way protecting against Apple. In I doubt that would be in their interest: If Apple could hit Android, it would leave one less competitor standing.
Amazon listed correctly. Sony just decided to change the product after the customer bought it. If Amazon has any brains they (and other resellers caught up in this) whould pass the bill on to Sony. Sony may even decide to revert the "update" and reenable the feature in order to save costs.
It is not as if newer firmware wont be hacked. Quite the contrary, now hackers who has left the platform alone, will attack it out of spite.
I can't understand why Sony keeps shooting themselves in the foot.
The article is not specific about the size. Sub 25nm is hardly precise. But lets assume it is 22,5 nm (half of the 45nm process know today). That would give you four times the capacity on a similar size chip. Or a smaller chip (witch means an approx 4 x larger yield on a 300mm wafer) for a similar capacity chip.
The first example would give bigger capacity and the second lower prices. Besides that there are benefits on power usage and read/write speeds.
From TFA some flash already use a 32nm process, so the gain would not be so big compared to those (I'll let you do the math), unless they are talking about 16nm. That is doubtful, as 16nm is very much "sub 25nm" - and they would want to advertise that fact.
It is a step, but not perfect. "Embedded software" will be patentable. So put your software in a dedicated device (e.g. iPhone or temperature regulator) an you can patent it. But generic computer programs cannot be patented.

> I'm a coder not IT so my knowledge of security pretty much stops at installing anti-virus and setting up a firewall
Then you are, IMO, part of the problem. All (professional) coders should have fundamental security knowledge in order to prevent the release of buggy insecure software. Many botnets are created by exploiting buffer overflows and their ilk.
Absolutely true. I do however not think that anyone *cares* if they rip a copy protected CD/DVD they they bought. I have never heard of anyone getting sued for it, as long as it is format shifting for personal use. Just goes to show that laws need to be fair and make sense in order for people to respect them.
Make to many stupid laws, and people will lose faith in the law altogether.

France has strict laws regarding encryption. So good luck with that.
