Software protection?
Hmm, I believe the correct response would be ROFLMAO*. Seriously, what the frak? That's like saying they will put Windows on it so that no-one can pirate CDs thanks to it's protection.
*Yes, yes, I know it's not physically possible without severe injuries.
Wonderful. Now I can't claim I have no addictions anymore. Next, they'll try to force me to learn how to live without it.
On another note, I have to protest to their use of "non-essential computer use". How many things now-a-days are actually, truly essential? I bet they are only mentioning this because, as Elias Aboujaoude said in the article: "The issue is starting to be recognised as a legitimate object of clinical attention, as well as an economic problem, given that a great deal of non-essential internet use takes place at work". (Emphasis mine)
How do you send them a message that the crap they're pulling won't be tolerated by consumers when they in turn are going to spin that message as justification for the very behaviour you boycotted them for?
1. Buy it
2. Demand a refund
3. ??? [get the refund]
4. Profit! [...more or less]
Sound of music? Yes, that's quite a good idea, really. I'd finally be able to find out once and for all if the absurd myth of children obeying other people can possibly be true.
Let's say I get some great real-estate offers in my email account. I choose to report it as spam, once. AOL or anyone else gets this mail and they can analyze it or do anything they want with it. The next day I get an identical mail and it gets sent to the SPAM folder. Do they have the ability to see this one as well? What if one that isn't spam gets marked as such, but contains sensetive and personal information?...so is this either "Top 10 Reported spam subject lines" or are they invading our privacy?

Non-final, they say? Was it working properly, then?

So one of the, if not the game that has been in development longest is going to be rushed in the end?
Did TFA suggest we test (Microsoft) beta software on production machines?!
Suicide is an action not a state; there are many things that can lead to it, like a psychological state known as depression.
So is this just a tracker where you have to pay to download torrent files or something?
It's a software "solution", it only checks if the processor is Intel's. Can't that be patched?
"What if you could zoom in on a bird in the background, or even the reflection on someone's glasses? "
Why that is already possible even with the most low-resolution pictures. Do you not watch CSI?
Sound of music? Yes, that's quite a good idea, really. I'd finally be able to find out once and for all if the absurd myth of children obeying other people can possibly be true.
I'd prefer to think of the internet as semi-open, you pessimists.
...so they read the e-mails of their clients?
