On the contrary, the "horse's head" already hit the bed, when the MPEG LA all-but-threatened to sue if Google STFU-and-GTFO'd them. So Google bent over, let 'em through the skirt, and paid the "protection" fee.
Herschel probably won't be able to gather new sights and data once blind, so any "new results" would come from further examination of what it has already seen.
Scientific instruments these days tend to generate more data than can be quickly processed, so there's probably a lot of images that still haven't been more than glanced at...and if scientists decide to take a second look at what they've already pored over, they can uncover some fun new objects with strange parallax or whatever.
(To follow up on this, I've still not visited YouTube since. Best of luck to Cerf, and I really do hope that real name issue is settled as he stated, but I didn't see evidence of that on YouTube and I increasingly feel it's too late for them to get me back. For their part, vimeo doesn't seem much better--they "encourage" real name use, and on the "DRM CHAIR" video's list of likes I saw very few users < 3y old without apparent real names--and LiveLeak has a big honking meebo/Google+ bar so they're either bought or want to be. Guess I'll have to hone my torrent release-fu.)
I definitely expect some "expedited kinetic action" due to this, and not because they actually host there (after all, logic doesn't stop the **AAs from attacking "pirate" internet users that, well, aren't).
It would be fun if TPB later announce they're hosting from computers in the US Capitol...
Speaking to Ars, Wilson gave some insight into his reasoning behind this creation with regard to gun laws. 'I believe in evading and disintermediating the state. It seemed to be something we could build an organization around. Just like Bitcoin can circumvent financial mechanisms.... The message is in what we're doing—the message is: download this gun.'
...and if the Powers That Be read that and say "oh noes another open access manifesto but for pew-pew things! also he likes bitcoins!", then the accident may come in the form of prosecutors.
When plans were getting drawn for a West Side Stadium that would compete with its (now-spun-off) Madison Square Garden, they brought astroturf ads.
When our place got FiOS, they began to bring salesmen.
When they leave, unsuccessful and late to the table of real competition, and bested by a once-monopoly they apparently sought to outdo, they bring me joy.
(Though to be fair, when they show their Michael Bolton ad, it brings me to the TV.)
Take a body- or at least groin-oriented version of that EMS force feedback thing, combine it with the glasses and 3d- or anime-model augments, and you too can have your very own cyber-succubus only fully visible to you! (Guaranteed both to tire you out and raise the eyebrows of the typical witness, not privy to the visuals.)
Capcom would make truckloads from one made with Morrigan.
Yep, gigabit to the home would be cool, and I would score massive geek points, but in terms of an individual user, what use would it be?
Your comment sounds too much like "I am a slave! What possible difference can I make?" to not scare me for its own reasons.
...anyway, what reason should it matter, even--no, especially-- if torrents are involved? Humanity wouldn't be held back by a silly speed limit, so we'd be able to do and learn more faster. That others are forced to serve with low-speed internet just means our foes are many and the fight will be longer.
As someone who closed down their YouTube account a few days ago when the once-weekly then -daily Real Name harassments became once-per-refresh (with cookies enabled!), I can only support your fight.
I wouldn't get Google-net (or join any Google service in the future, even free) even if you won against them, but other ISPs also need to be pestered about this "consumer-tier" no-server crap until they cry, starting with the treatment of any class of people as "consumers". Good luck.
I can't quite tell if you said that in the tyrant robotic bird in a swamp sense, the Monsanto legal team sense, or the "this experiment is so awesome that I demand the researchers' bukkake all over my body" sense.
To be fair, the filter probably had too much alcohol and too many hard disk crashes the night before. I would've read it as asscase dot com and did a double take too in that case.
I was less concerned about the quantity of licenses (if they want to value ubiquity over strict copyleft, I won't protest) so much as the vague "CC 3.0" license. The Font Awesome project itself mentions CC BY 3.0 so I presume (and hope) they'll use that.
3. When I went to the new Yahoo page, I immediately thought, "Oh, shit, how'd I wind up on Facebook?"
Because Yahoo and Facebook had patent-fight sex and are now friends with benefits.* Hope you like your email, news, and flickr with extra Like buttons.
Maybe that's the idea. Can't add "must be currently employed" to the listing? Just get people with money and social accounts instead.
Bonus: if they've already paid so much for the glasses, they won't just turn back and say no when asked for their Twitter/G+ password. Instant PR control!
If it were an actual exercise in journalism or even executive-branch outreach, there'd be more tough questions from the people, more focused answers from POTUS, and less "Look at us, we're YouTube and this is a Google+ hangout! GOOGLE PLUS!!!"-ness. It's grand puffery all around, even by propaganda standards.
Perhaps that was the only way Obama and Larry Page would let YouTube get the former to say anything, but I suspect that I didn't miss much when I missed this.

Seems like Horn was..."pleased for the opportunity" to shake down even more video-format developers.
It'll need 65 million years to regain its former luster after all that time down there.
Fortunately, that three-seater I double-parked outside can help...

Seems the tape was red long before they settled on the color.
A big problem is that even when they do allow pseudos, they seem to be re-prohibited arbitrarily and inconsistently. Maybe Google needs a Baby Belling so Mr. Left and Ms. Right of the Hand family can acquaint themselves.

Yeah, I love that "continue to have" part too...can't tell if the WH is being sarcastic or the telco money actually convinced them so.

When Verizon brought its FiOS TV service to Massapequa Park, NY, Cablevision brought lawyers.
When plans were getting drawn for a West Side Stadium that would compete with its (now-spun-off) Madison Square Garden, they brought astroturf ads.
When our place got FiOS, they began to bring salesmen.

Besides, why not both? Play this game on your mobiles, and fire up F@h on your less shackled machines--a one-two punch to the disease. :)

I agree that this is super-shady and only worth staying far away from, in favor of software patent abolition.
Then again, I thought this was super-shady the moment I read the words "Google Hangout interview".

That's what the default "allow acceptable 3rd-party cookies" caveat will be for. People keep the option, and Larry Page keeps the financially-induced control.

I don't recall "be a barely-retch-worthy litigious asshat" was the way of the shinobi.
Running in place will never get you the same results...as running from a vacuum bubble.
Stay cited, my friends.
Curiously, it sometimes serves individuals better than states that do have citizens.
That, to be clear, is because (like the last Obama-Google+ copout that I remember hearing of (and seeing, in that case)) this is a mutual promotional vehicle for the President and Google's social network.
If it were an actual exercise in journalism or even executive-branch outreach, there'd be more tough questions from the people, more focused answers from POTUS, and less "Look at us, we're YouTube and this is a Google+ hangout!
