They hardly "admitted wrongdoing". They made up absurd stories about how it was all an April Fool's joke, and lied about how long it had been active and how much money they had made.
(Consider this: Which part of this "April Fool's joke" was supposed to actually be FUNNY? It was installed in secret. If it was hidden from you, how were you supposed to laugh at it?)
I also like how gamers will yell until they are blue in the face about second hand game sales and how important they are.
And then they will turn around and talk about how "Steam gets it right", conveniently forgetting it was the first place that forbid second-hand game sales.
So once 21 million is hit...no more power is needed, because you can't generate more?
"Mining" actually means maintaining the Bitcoin public ledger. So it will still be needed once all coins have been mined. Profits will come from transaction fees instead of minting new coins, and power will still be used.
I'm not sure how the fact that VP8, when trying as hard as it can, just about manages to match h.264 in high-speed mode means it is "close enough that it doesn't matter".

Absolutely nothing in this case would change if Firefox were a closed-source app. No part of this has anything to do with open source.
That is "upset" as a noun, not an adjective.

Getting sued for patent infringement makes you an antagonist. Thanks, Slashdot logic!
The EMP is created by the surrounding atmosphere too, so there probably wouldn't be much of an EMP in LEO either.
Quadcopters can easily get out of ground effect. They don't do it here for safety reasons, most likely.
No, the fertilizer is explosive.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium_nitrate_disasters for examples. In particular, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_City_Disaster .
Maybe we could drop a *real* nuclear bomb on Muska, show him what one of those is like.
Ammonium nitrate explosions can, in fact, approach small nuclear explosions in power.

Note that final figure.
I am not sure why I should, since it is now $130.
So MS is ripping off... themselves?
Well, it's... not a grid of icons, really?
What was it Metro was similar to, again?
Actually, no, I don't.
Publishers are not charities
Yet they still expect people to work for them for free.
I can't help but notice a complete and utter lack of anything resembling facts in your post.
Remember, if Apple hasn't done anything wrong, you can take something somebody else did, and pretend they did it even worse! That's how evil Apple is!

No. That would be stretching the meaning of the word so far it becomes meaningless.
And they have been attempting to do that, too.
Uh, yes? Why don't you go look up how long they have been doing it yourself? It's not a secret.
No, really, I can.
In ABX tests?
Try listening to them and then tell us the difference.
Just because you can tell the difference between a 2 kHz sine and sawtooth wave does not mean you can do the same at 20 kHz.
You mean the child slave labour that Apple actually works hard to not use, unlike every other tech company?
