Well now see that's the trick. Unlike the aforementioned companites, Mircrosoft's research... what happens to it? It goes into the ether? What comes of it?
Basic research is fine, but when you're a publically traded company, you have to turn that research into a/product/, which is something that Microsoft seems to have stalled on. Sure, they have Office, XBOX, Windows 7 coming up, and a few other things - but all told, that's pitiful, coming from $8 *BILLION* in R&D, that so far hasn't seen the light of day.
"If I remember right, starter is a stripped down version they just sell in developing countries at a big discount in at attempt to combat some piracy by giving users a low priced option."

Um, maybe because you're *not actually* running around 'killing people'.
It's a videogame. No people are being killed. The 'pretend people' that you're 'shooting at' (pressing a butting to make a graphic appear), are not actually real people, and they are not actually being injuired, maimed, or killed.
*Also* scan all the docs into.pdf and put them all online.
Letting criminals like your prof get away with their crimes (theft is a crime, and illegal) only encourages their deviant behavior (normal people don't steal, your prof is a deviant).
Again, and people keep think I'm trolling or trying to be funny, but I'm being dead serious, most people under 30 DON'T HAVE OR WANT a TV for anything but videogames.
With youtube, torrents, and the 'net as a whole, what are they losing? Absolutely nothing.
So yeah, good sarcasm, but it kind of falls flat. Yes, everyone has heard of TV. No, not everyone has or even wants it.
TV now is what radio was in the 80's. Mostly crap, mostly listened to by old people, or as 'background noise'.
Our incoming president reads spiderman comics and his secretary of energy is some incredible nobel prize winning genius who ran a program called "Bio-X", can we possibly get more *AWESOME*?
A single DMCA complaint will remove it, and three DMCA complaints will have your account deleted entirely.
It doesn't matter if there is or is not anything in any of your videos which warrants a DMCA complaint - by posting anything that in any way threatens, or seems to threaten any corporate interest, it'll be the end of you.
So, you didn't do any reasearch or look at any reviews whatsoever, just bought the cheapest ('about $60 on 4-5 games is about $7 a game) games you could find?
And then, you're going to blame Nintendo for games made by/other companies/?
Well, for one thing, it's illegal, immoral, and unethical. Fighting crime by being a criminal... well, you see where I'm going with that.
Furthermore, do you want your company to get the reputation of a malware maker and distributor? That's not likely to increase your sales.
Beyond even that, say, for example, someone repackages the malware you release as a 'linux-iso' or somesuch. Then you would be to blame for destroying the computers of innocent people.
Y'know, based on this, if I were your boss, I'd fire you, because you're clearly lacking in ethical stability, and making threats such as you have marks you as a company liability. Hmm.
What? No. Weight is a function of gravity. An object can have near-infinite mass, but if it isn't affected by a gravitational field, it's weight remains zero.

Well, obviously, Apple isn't in a monopoly position, and has not been shown to have criminal intent to abuse such a monopoly.
Microsoft, however, has been found in criminal breach of monopoly and other laws.
That's a pretty basic difference, right there.
Leave fanboyism out of it.
So if someone breaks into your house and cleans your kitchen, you'd think that's okay too?
Air is what people breathe! Pain hurts! Ice is cold!
Seriously. What a waste of a study - I recognize the value of it, but they're really not trying very hard, huh?

Those that bother to look at the math instead of the politics, at the history instead of the hype, are agreed.

There ya go.

So, to begin with, how is it violent?
Well, I don't know about run for it's money. Can it be made cheaper than paper?
*That* is the true test.
How?
So why has nobody ever gone to the police?
Why was she never arrested?
Seriously. Why did people tolerate her? The police exist for a reason, and putting criminals like her behind bars is one of those very good reasons.
*Do* file a police report, *do* talk to a lawyer.
*Also* scan all the docs into .pdf and put them all online.

Torrents and DVD's!

There, fixed that for you.
Just because it's a popular last name doesn't mean that everyone with the last name 'Chu' is sterile, you insensitie clod.
And that's the catch - you don't have to be the copyright holder to make a DMCA complaint.
Haha, wow, you must be old. Only old people have TV's and use them for anything other than gaming. Seriously.
Put it on YouTube?
No.

Well, you're wrong.
People can /afford/ to live in 500m, vs 5000m.
Pretty huge distinction there.
I dunno, I think "kill all aliens/nazi's/zombies, reload, kill 'em all again" is pretty damn clear. And boring as hell.
Yeah, I got bored with FPS ten years ago. You could tell?
