There's only a small, finite number of movies in theaters at any one time - the article mentioned 1344. If each one were hosted once, that'd be 1344 files. Meanwhile, MegaUpload was hosting files numbering many orders of magnitude beyond that. Therefore, it's possible that both are correct - most files were not piracy related, but there were some that did, and they may have had an effect on the market.
I've not tested Windows 8, but 7 was even easier: Install it once on a bare disk with no key, and then "upgrade" that install. No need to scrounge up a disk from a previous edition.
There's really no point in doing that, though, when the OEM license is roughly the same cost as the upgrade.
App authors can also expect a greater payout from iOS compared with Android, with Apple's mobile operating system delivering developers four times the revenue as their Android counterpart per user, Flurry found.
I don't disagree with you at all; there's tons of apps that are, frankly, garbage. But even if your app is genuinely good, given the amount of "noise" in the store, you must also get lucky to be seen and discovered amongst all of the junk.
I believe I've heard that in mobile computing, the largest consumer of power is the LCD screen itself.
I'm also not sure which version of Atom you're referring to, but the original one was paired with such a crappy chipset that it basically negated most of the power savings.
1. What prevents the squatter from maintaining control of the domain and "renting" it to someone else?
2. So if I want to use my company's.com for our publicly accessible services and our.net for networking infrastructure, I can't? But if I want company.com and corporate.net, I'm okay? Seems like an arbitrary restriction that's trivial to get around, but still annoying.
Why not come up with a similar certification, one that's available under Creative Commons? That way, anyone could actually read the specifications, and you can go so far as to have a third party certify the results, either by self-certifying and having that notarized, or having a trusted third party perform the audit.
I've actually found the opposite - I've come back to Slashdot from Reddit because Slashdot's moderation system, as simplistic as it is, seems to be less susceptible to groupthink/hivemind tendencies. I'd bet this is because here you must have your moderation moderated, and only citizens in good standing are given mod points.
Interesting. So is there some sort of agreement, where the network says that they can dub over certain ads? I've noticed that the dub isn't quite perfect sometimes, and you'll catch the beginning/end of a network ad which is then replaced with a (obviously lower quality) local ad.
Is this not what the cable operators already do? If they sell a local ad, they simply dub over the national ad of their choice and call it a day. How is this any different?
Picked up one of those for my parents as well, thought that the built-in drivers were a nice touch, even though they'll be outdated soon enough. Still though, that model is also compatible with AirPrint, so my mother's iPad and parents' iPhones print to it perfectly. Rather nifty, especially for the $85.
This is not necessarily true. At mine, we simply have to submit a form that grants them permission to keep a copy for their archives. I'm free to do what I will with my work beyond that.
You know, I hear of this solution constantly. If I were a spammer (and I can assure you I am not) that's constantly tweaking my messages to go through Bayesian filters, why would I not run my address list through something that removed "+something" from the mailbox portion of the address? Seems like the easiest trick in the book, especially when you've lifted the addresses from a database without permission.
Not really. That's A) what the Twitter site/platform/application are designed to do, and it does it well, and B) Far, far cheaper than rolling their own.
I'd imagine that traffic from a desktop/laptop is far different from that of a mobile phone. For starters, significant amounts of HTTP traffic with a user agent from Windows/Mac/Linux would be a tipoff. Not saying it's foolproof or the only way, for sure, but that would be one easy way to narrow down the list.

That's simple: the walled garden is where the money is.
Considering Apple runs the whole infrastructure from top to bottom (rather than using, say, YouTube or ustream), I highly doubt this would happen.

Regarding your "basic doctor" notion, we have one - nurse practitioners.

My oh my, how far we've come.
Not only does it have the equivalent of vMotion (they refer to it as Live Migration), it's included in the free version.

I don't know what percentage does, but you can check if your software does by attempting to connect to this site: https://test-sspev.verisign.com:2443/test-SSPEV-revoked-verisign.html
Add ".local" to the front of your search domains, and you'll be back in business.
Signed, another admin who got screwed when they decided to use .local for Bonjour.

Imaging macs in bulk over the network is still 100% possible with Lion. This hasn't changed, and is recommended in documentation published by Apple.
Actually, ferrets are banned in the entire state of California. Doesn't stop a lot of people though.
You do realize you can put all of those on one line, right?
