The hardware is significantly worse than that of the Nexus 4 from a year ago which was available for $299. Personally I'd expect either better components or a significantly better price.
I disagree. They definitely provide the user with unrestricted access to the Internet, however they don't claim to provide the Internet with access to the user.
Look up the dictionary definition of access then explain which definition you're trying to use to justify your statement.
Erm, by definition the welfare recipients aren't working at all? I don't think most of the wealthy made money exploitively, most likely via entertainment or tech. I'd guess the real issue for the lower income are the people working for cash illegally causing a downward pressure on wages.
Seems like it would take more effort/time to replace the running sites with one stating they're down as part of the shutdown.
Yesterday I discovered I could visit NIST's NVD database, but clicking on external links didn't show a redirect warning as normal and instead showed the shutdown message.
Sorry but the hardware isn't open unless you can build it without involving Intel. I highly doubt that Intel is publishing the documents needed to go to another fab (e.g. TSMC, Samsung) to have the SoC made.
RIM stuck to their guns with BlackBerry, didn't save it and are circling the drain ever faster.
The Nokia stuff was old, Meego was not remotely close to ready (I worked in a shared office with someone contracted to help fix it and from his description a lot was still left when they shelved the product) so they had to make a change. Many of us questioned the exclusive WP choice but we'll never know if they'd chosen a split model or exclusively Android whether they could have convinced carriers to sell their phones. (For all we know discussions happened and carriers rejected them and MS tossed some cash around).
Unfortunately mint has some similar tricks, for example they automatically set Open DNS as a DNS provider which means any mistyped addresses or queries intended fit the browser to handle are instead sent to advertising pages.
I'd also argue that removing the search providers Mozilla ships in exchange for one that pays mint (as opposed to the people who actually pay the browser developers) is also ethically questionable.
The reality is that backing Kickstarter projects is really the risk of an investment without the returns of an investment. In the past when people hit the point in the projects that they needed outside funding they'd need to find investors who'd own part of the product, Now they hit Kickstarter charge full price for a product they may never deliver and in the event its successful maintain all of the profits.
This is particularly bothersome to me when people like Neal Stephenson and Zach Braff who have money themselves, as well as access to investors. Kickstarter ought to be the place where small time folks who've completed the product but don't have access to the funds to get the initial batch made.

10 feet is well beyond the recommended viewing range for a 42" TV. THX for example would recommend 4-6 feet viewing distance for a 40" TV

This isn't anything to do with network neutrality, they aren't restricting access to different services.
Many European countries have a broader definition of crimes and utilize different reporting metrics rendering comparisons inherently flawed.
Sure has a cutting edge website, readers are no doubt the technical leaders of the world.
Quite a few people just hate it because its popular.
Microsoft does try install Bing cruft every time one updates Skype however.

And without oil Texas would have virtually nothing as well. So whats your point?
California also has a disproportionately high amount of wealthy individuals however.

All the limitations of mobile, now on your desktop!

That Apple has pushed out updates to hardware that couldn't really handle it. They've done this both to computers and I phones.
You should flag them as what they are: spam. If this is done regularly the filters might pick up on it, along with blacklists.
I suspect if you started without the intent to deliver it might legally be fraud, however naive ignorance is entirely defensible.
You say that, but Wasteland 2 isn't released and was delayed. Tomorrow they could simply close up shop.

Distance / Speed = Time
Heck, we've probably been estimating our arrival times since we grew big enough brains to recognize a particular rock or tree.
Randomized stats aren't necessary and weren't part of EverQuest.
Still no side-by-side diff for plain old text files.
