Given that they've already arrested two people for "planning a waterfight over facebook and BBM", I'd say they've already got provisions in place, and just haven't announced them...
I'm guessing about 99% of ISP's will be able to support it considering the government requires it. There aren't too many successful ISP's in the US of any size that don't do significant business with the government.
Gaining ground based on what? The xbox has been profitable for years. Has the PS3 even dug itself half-way out of the hole they got into with the massive loss of money for the first 3 years it was on the market?
You do realize most of the products Oracle sells rely on Java, right? That's the entire reason they didn't want it going to IBM. They are more likely to kill of their database than Java.
It's legal to proceed through a light that is not changing after waiting a sufficient period of time in most states. That was part of motorcycle 101. That "sufficient" is open to interpretation. Generally speaking, if the lights cycle more than once without giving me a green, and there is no traffic in any other direction, I consider it sufficient.
RIM should've licensed out and/or sold directly via the app stores their email, calendar, and BBM clients. They could've dominated the entire market. Now people have gotten used the the lackluster exchange support offered by android and IOS, and have likely learned to just deal with it. They could continue to sell plenty of blackberry units for their encryption capabilities (likely the only stronghold they currently have), while also dominating other markets. I would absolutely pay for a RIM app to replace the trash offered by IOS and android. Email search alone would make it worth it.
So what happens when some of those publications inevitably go out of business? We lose all of their works forever? I would hope that google could come up with some sort of middle ground. Why not continue the archival process, but allow companies still in business to choose what content is free, and what requires a fee or ads? There has to be a way that the companies can profit while still protecting us from losing the information permanently...
Windows updates != new version of IE, sorry. They will continue to release security fixes for IE9, just like they have for all their other browsers during their supported lifetime.
You might as well claim that "support" for Vista means people get free upgrades to Windows 7. Think first, then type.
Screwing them over? When purchasing windows Vista, I don't recall getting a disclaimer stating that I would get free browser updates from Microsoft for a set number of years. Since when are you entitled to new versions of IE, just because you bought their OS?
Try downloading Safari 5 for OSX 10.4. Let me know how that goes for you.
Yes, you're successful DESPITE your environment, not BECAUSE of it. Had you been born in Ethiopia, your standard of living would be even better than it is today. NOT MY PRESIDENT!!
Sony isn't Halliburton. They sell entertainment gear... and they don't even dominate the market. I was going to buy a playstation 3 as a blu-ray player (since I don't own one currently), and then they pulled this lawsuit bullshit. Now I won't be purchasing one at all. My last TV was a Sony, my new one is a Mitsubishi, again because of the lawsuit bullshit. Halliburton can get away with it because their fingers are in everything, and their primary source of income is being involved in a good that America, and most of mankind can't live without: oil. Sony sells entertainment devices, and I have plenty of other options to choose from. Being multinational doesn't automatically make you immune to market forces...
No, they really aren't. This isn't some new technology. They've been out forever, and there's absolutely no excuse. Crossfire with dual monitors is not some exotic setup. The mouse going nuts during normal desktop usage on a regular basis isn't something that should slip by QA... ever. And it definitely isn't something that should go unfixed once they're aware of the problem. My older nvidia cards never had an issue, and the new ones don't either. It's just another case of shoddy drivers by ATI/AMD.
I disagree. I was running a pair of 4850's in crossfire for almost 2 years. There was a bug that would make the mouse cursor icon go all corrupted that they never bothered to fix despite knowing it was there. I switched to a pair of nvidia 460 GTX's in SLI and haven't had a problem since.
I get the impression with the amount they sell, they can demand lower prices from their suppliers. If they're willing to lock in an order for a set amount of product, I'm guessing their suppliers are more willing to play ball on pricing. Guaranteed income is a hell of a thing when you have to predict numbers for Wall Street.

An untrained person shouldn't be firing a gun in public. Self defense or not, you need training before you purchase and carry a gun.

So they're going to eliminate printer drivers by using printer drivers? Excellent summary!
You almost never are on the same network when you cross from the US to Mexico or Canada, the same isn't true traveling across Europe.

Xbox has been turning a profit since 2008... more than half of it's life.

I can't say I'm any sort of metric master, but I'm quite certain 33ft is 11m.
"From the ground up" is debatable, and part of the reason this lawsuit exists.

Because God created timezones, duh!
I will be killing zombies. With fire. Just brushed up on my cardio and stocked up on twinkies so I think I'm legit.

Download? When I was a kid we made mix tapes.
*with interest. We technically made money on that deal. Of course, the banks are just trying to make it up through new fees now anyways...
