You misunderstood, I wasn't talking about the iMac. I was talking about the Surface AIO which was being compared to the iMac.
Obviously since the AIO is only a rumor and hasn't been released, it can't be deemed either a success or a failure, so it's illogical to add it into a list of successful products with failed copies.
(Not that the AIO is a copy anyway. We don't know much about it. A touch screen and other features may put it in a different category, and depending on those features it might compete more with Apple TV than with the iMac.)
That is a great argument for why these driver-assist features are a good idea. The car might have seen the jerk fly into your lane well before you did. It isn't 100% fool-proof, but it could still save lives by being an extra set of eyes.
From my understanding of preliminary findings, neither the driver nor the "autopilot" saw the truck pull across the road. The truck probably didn't see the car either. I don't know if this has to do with road engineering or just a horrible set of circumstances where all cognitive parts of the scenario failed at the same time. Regardless, even with the smartest automated vehicle control, crashes will still happen and people will probably still die, but if the number of dead humans decreases substantially then it is worth it.
No, "autopilot" would imply that it performs a similar role to autopilot in aircraft. Which is to say, the plane is NOT fully autonomous and requires the driver (pilot) to stay alert and attentive.
Or that's what it should imply, a reasonable analogue to the proper usage of the terminology. But typical modern television and movies exaggerate this function to the point that the general public thinks that planes basically fly themselves. But this isn't true at all, it's mostly just a glorified cruise control system that requires the flight crew to remain alert and ready to take manual control at a moment's notice.
True, but just because you paid Walmart doesn't mean you paid Netflix. Maybe you paid for a standard def. copy, but you aren't entitled to an HD copy. Your DVD that you require a DVD player for is different from the stream that provides the convenience of the app on your TV. The regular movie is different from the director's cut, etc., etc....
Of course, it's not like you didn't pay for it in some form. But I don't know if there will ever be a standard mechanism for allowing ownership (licensing) of one version of something to justify no-price or reduced-price copying from some other source.
You are mixing up things. Xbox One S is a mid-generation update to the Xbox One. Project Scorpio is the next generation, with far superior hardware and capabilities. If it were the same generation I would expect it to be called "Project Xbox One Scorpio" or something with Xbox One in the name.
It is fully compatible with Xbox One, but that alone doesn't make me suspect it is considered the same generation.
Perhaps, but a total ban may be extreme and ultimately ineffective. One idea is to provide a formal and transparent venue for contact to occur between current industry representatives and government officials... in other words, no more schmoozing elected representatives with wine and food.
However, I do believe government representatives should recuse themselves from voting or speaking to Congress on matters in which they hold financial interest.
That doesn't matter. Government and corporations should perform checks and balances to one another. Each player tries to check the other in order to stay ahead, but the balances should keep them from ever truly taking control over the other.
Does Apple bring new features to OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, or to iPhone OS 3? Does Google bring new features to Android 1.x, or how about Chrome 2.0?
Because those are the same as expecting Windows 7, released in 2009, to get new features 7 years later.
Besides, this article is about bringing a Windows 10 exclusive feature to an app that is cross platform. I don't think that it's confirmed that this feature is cross platform but it's certainly more plausible now than before.
I can imagine that the people who fully understood what they were getting into by installing an insider (preview) build of Windows 10 and then used Messaging Everywhere understand that everything is subject to change before release.
FTFY
Besides, putting it in Skype means it could come to other platforms instead of being locked to Windows.
Any such action by government would be subject to court, where a legal case must be presented. Your argument is legally flawed, therefore fundamentally invalid as government action.
Presidents have very little control over our economy.
Indeed, I don't know why people keep perpetuating the lie that presidents have such huge economic influence. It's probably because the candidates campaign on these empty promises, "Vote for me, I'll make all your economic dreams come true!" Truly the most power they have is veto, and they are heavily pressured to not delay a budget which has made it through both houses of Congress.
Congress has much more influence over the economy. Go look up which party was in control of Congress during each recession. I've already done it for the 13 recessions since the Great Depression: Democrats controlled both houses 11 times, Republicans 2 times.
The majority of "average users" won't care, and frankly they're going to be better served by being on the latest OS with security updates and support for many more years. Getting the masses upgraded is a huge positive and will actually save people money by helping older hardware continue to be useful for a longer time.
If options are buried in the registry, so be it. I totally agree with the philosophy of making dangerous options difficult to change.
However, I still do not agree with any tactics that are intended to confuse the user or override choices that the user explicitly made. I know what I'm doing, damn it; let me do with my device as I wish.

What you just said is different, that they broke stuff. I'm not debating that, negligence doesn't get them off the hook. But you originally said "ransomware" (which is not at all related to the issue) and "intentionally broken" (which is specifically different from just "broken") and thus you were very much mischaracterizing the situation.
So no, they shouldn't just act like those are the same, because they are very different.
This gets into the details for the.NET Platform Standard and which versions of each official.NET implementation correspond to which versions of the standard:
The telemetry is only in the tools and does not affect your app.
The data collected is anonymous in nature and will be published in an aggregated form
You can opt-out of the telemetry feature by setting an environment variable DOTNET_CLI_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT (e.g. export on OS X/Linux, set on Windows) to true (e.g. “true”, 1). Doing this will stop the collection process from running.
The feature collects the following pieces of data:
The command being used (e.g. “build”, “restore”)
The ExitCode of the command
For test projects, the test runner being used
The timestamp of invocation
The framework used
Whether runtime IDs are present in the “runtimes” node
Because in response to community backlash, Oculus has decided to change its DRM policy (again) to allow HTC Vive games to play on the Oculus Rift virtual-reality system.
Slashdot Mirror
yes apparently they can opt out
Except that if they were hired to go, and they then refuse to go, they shouldn't expect to remain hired.

Pilots sometimes do have to override the autopilot system, in case of a system failure or emergency.
In both cases the driver must stay alert and able to take control at a moment's notice.
5. Apple iPad, Microsoft surface (RT at first).
Insert: Microsoft Surface Pro, copied by Apple iPad Pro.
(Well that's what Tim Cook wants you to believe, that they are in the same category... despite the fact that there's nothing "Pro" about any iPad.)
6. MacBook, surface book.
Those are not in the same category (even if I assume you meant "Macbook Pro"). Surface Book has a touch screen and can separate into an x86 tablet.
7. Now the iMac.
It is neither a success nor a failure so it doesn't belong in your list.

One can argue that drivers need more extensive training, period, and autonomy is just a factor which has little to do with the length of training.
But drivers certainly don't need the "same" amount of training as aircraft pilots.
No, "autopilot" would imply that it performs a similar role to autopilot in aircraft. Which is to say, the plane is NOT fully autonomous and requires the driver (pilot) to stay alert and attentive.

Like what? I'm surprised because some of our enterprise software built for Windows 7 works on 10, even though it crashes on 8.

All the people who benefit from having checks and balances. The ones who provide the government their power and the corporations their dollar.
That doesn't matter. Government and corporations should perform checks and balances to one another. Each player tries to check the other in order to stay ahead, but the balances should keep them from ever truly taking control over the other.
But you left out the critical part:
with appropriate checks and balances in place of course
That would not include lobbyists who have any current or promised financial incentive to push for laws favoring their company or industry.
Which was the point of my last paragraph.

Treat all those computers that were auto-"upgraded" to Windows 10 as if they were hit with ransomware or otherwise intentionally broken by Microsoft.
Just because you don't like something doesn't mean that your made-up analogies would ever have any legal bearing.
Treat all those drivers who speed as if it were attempted vehicular homicide.
Treat all those Linux distributions as if they stole code from UNIX.
