Depression is like stubbing your toe on a doorframe. The pain is telling you something. In the case of a busted toe it means don't do that again. In the case of depression it means do something.
The next headlines: Microsoft acquires Tivo. Microsoft offers IPTV discount with purchase of Xbox Next. Xbox Next comes packaged with Windows Media Center Edition, etc.
This is a wet dream for Microsoft..
I've had spammers in my system for years. Just when the good part of Blazing Saddles comes on, some annoying whistly commercial tells me I can boost my confidence with male enhancement..
One benefit is that IPTV can require less bandwidth than existing cable systems, which shoot every channel available to a customer in a continuous stream all the way to that viewer's set-top box. The viewer then selects a channel to watch, typically using a remote control and a set-top box.
With IPTV, only the desired channels are transmitted to the home. In theory, that allows the company selling programming through an IPTV system to offer a limitless choice of channels.
Pay for the 3 or 4 channels worth a damn and say goodbye to your cable bill. Sounds good, huh? However, fiber is expensive. Somebody has to pay for it..
In support of and in contrast to your point: Half-Life 2. It sold like mad. If people believe in a product it will succeed. However, it also had DRM. I'd say it worked for them, too.
People who have read the books are likely to be disappointed. They enter the theatre with some nostalgic notion to the way they felt when they read the books. The movie isn't for them, though. It is for those people who've never heard of the book series. Think Lord of the Rings.
While systems like Virtual Boy would lead one to stray from innovation, I definately agree. I'll be surprised if a round of consoles from these manufacturers does as well as the current round has if there is no innovation involved. With one exception: GTA and MMO-games. The scale of a game like GTA is dependent on machine resources just as the graphics are. However, a game of large scale is much more entertaining to me now that graphics have reached a sufficient point. I'll pay Pixar to render a pretty film. I'll pay Rockstar (or any other developer of games of a higher scale) for an awesome gaming experience.
The world wide web is named for its nature of being connected through links. It just doesn't seem quite 'fair' to only prosecute one person in the chain or web for linking. One might argue that you can take down the 'source,' effectively breaking the chain. But by this reasoning, the distributors of the media should be the ones prosecuted; not any linking sites. Search engines such as Yahoo or Google definately become an issue. Napster(the filesharing service) had a search engine..
this project highlights 'the way misguided laws and lawsuits can pollute the environment for technological innovation
The items featured here are not just nostalgic entities of the past. They are technologies that are no longer used, or are in danger of no longer being used due to laws and lawsuits. Example: Napster. Insanely popular.
Missing from their endangered species list is none other than: The Internet. The most important 'gizmo' in our lives today.
RIAA and MPAA attack every peer to peer network because of illegal filesharing. Peer to peer networks can be abused, this is true. However, so can social networks, radio networks, cable networks and etc. Yet, if these organizations had their way peer to peer networks would cease to exist. Shall I remind you that the Internet operates on protocols that essentially make it a peer to peer network?
This site isn't as informative as it should be. It spreads the anti-MS attitude without much argument and through sketchy quotes. The alternatives list leaves much to be desired, and their 'featured' alternative is a proprietary OS for obscure proprietary hardware. That isn't really the idea here, is it?
"The question is, what does VIIV mean? Could this be the Roman numerals for 6-4 indicating a 64-bit chip, or could this be the Roman numeral five twice, separated by two lines, indicating the dual cores of the Pentium 5 chip?"
After this and this I'm forced to the conclusion that these three stories are three points on a grid forming a triangle corresponding with the location of Atlantis.

The idea of a Google OS is interesting. Google profits through advertising and (I assume) data mining. The data mining is a bit scary(no scarier than what Microsoft is capable of,) but a free-as-in-Firefox Google OS with built-in advertising could be removed by those who would most be irked by it. G-lite, if you will. Google has the name and the ability to launch a competitor to Windows. A simple, intuitive desktop interface and a link on the main page is all it would take. Google's popularity and the insane rate this hypothetical OS could be adopted would attract hardware support that Linux always struggled with. Ah, wishful thinking I suppose..

Consider from the point of view of robotics. You build a machine out of metal and program it. Replace the metal with grown tissue and bone and you have.. something. A truly living robot? An oppressed slave? These are the questions that have to be asked now. Our paradigm towards life is shifting. It is a frightening, but exciting thing. Most people who say "it is sick" are knee-jerk reacting to their gut feeling: What am I and where do I fit in the world? We will eventually be able to improve upon ourselves, giving birth to a superior species. This is what we are afraid of. But I ask this: If we are concerned about torturing unintelligent slaves, shouldn't we also be concerned about denying a superior species the chance to live as we have? To take our abilities to the next level? The universe is a big place. There's no reason why we can't coexist. Allow your paradigm to shift.

You're right. This should obviously have been the iVIIV

It is actually pretty pointless. Seems like a gimmick to keep drive prices high, and therefore profitable.

Probably a lot like the Wilhelm.
