I'd bet money that in ten years you'd be embarrassed you ever posted this.
I'm embarrassed now but only because some humans are so greedy its sickening.
I know DRM just busts your nuts
Not so much, I download all my media then buy it when it reaches a fair price.
no corp is stupid enough to pull that kind of move
By move do you mean increase their profits by screwing the consumer? Thats never happened before.
but there is zero chance the home video market will be shut down this half the century
And how will you watch your DVDs & BluRays when your player breaks, they revoke all the keys & they stop making them any more? Trusted Computing will make using a PC impossible. Sure there will be a class action lawsuit but all you'll get as compensation will be some credit for the streaming service of your choice.
I think you can already get QuadHD/4k camcorders & stuff in Japan.
It wont matter by then. By the 4th or 5th generation of 3DTV we'll all be locked-in to getting our media fed to us PayPerView style from the likes of Apple & Google. They'll get to charge you to watch it twice too as the extra bandwidth will cost more.
There will be no point in increasing resolution or features because its not like you'll have any alternative anyway. They'll also have phased out analog connections by then and all media data will require an up-to-date encryption license/key or they'll make it blocky and unwatchable. They'll simply stop producing DVD & BluRay stand alone players and because of Trusted Computing you wont be able to use a PC based drive to watch anything.
I would say let those idiots get scammed if they're stupid enough to fall for this sort of obvious fake. Unfortunately it'll only get worse until some politicians get paid to propose a bill that will require IPSs to filter bad traffic to protect Joe Public. ISPs will of course use that as an excuse to get around any net neutrality rules that get proposed. Eventually all traffic not pre-approved will get filtered/blocked/downgraded.
Theres also the issue of colour affecting the look of the stuff being moved. A reddish tube might make someone think there was blood in another fluid. It would have to be transparent enough to see the liquid inside clearly. Stripes of colour along a tube might not be seen.
I suggest they invest in the no-kink spiral stuff that case modders use in watercooled PCs. Wouldn't you visit a hospital more if all the drips had a glow under UV light?
If its outside helicopter range (doubtful as another post says its 40 miles from Moscow) then I bet theres some kind of road. They'd need some way to get the 10kw transmitter & other equipment there.
Thats for lawyers to spend 4 or 5 years deciding. By then it wont matter because even if Apple loses they'll get fined a few thousand in money off vouchers. Easily worth it to stop jailbreaking for a few years.
I dont know if things have changed but when I last read anything about adaptive optics it involved sending a laser beam into the atmosphere. You'd have to be away from air traffic to do that these days.
Now Apple will add some DRM style component to future Iphones and the game will continue.
Does making jailbreaking legal also make it illegal for Apple to 'accidentally' brick your phone with the next Ios update because you installed 'incompatible' software.
I also call bullshit on the $100m figure. I bet there is a lot of 'Hollywood Accounting' going on there. I also wonder how much it would be without all the cut-scene filler they seem to enjoy spending a fortune on these days.
FTFA... Web sites that contain violence have grown by 10.8 per cent, terrorism content by 8.5 per cent, and illegal drugs purchase by 6.8 per cent, and are continuing to grow, according to to the study, although it failed to define what it means by these terms.
So a gaming site mentioning GTA4 could be counted as violence, drugs & porn.
Rotta reckons, "There is a growing trend for online role-playing games to encourage negative behaviour, by rewarding violent and brutal activities within the online games."
Yes because Crocheting & Knitting RPGs would sell so well.
Internet shopping pages have increased by nine per cent this year, but Rotta managed not to find this worrying. What might kids be buying? Has she thought of that?
She finds shopping sites worrying? Dont most of them still require a credit card for payment?
according to a new study published by Optenet, a SaaS provider which delivers "on-premise" security.
So they will sell you software to protect you from teh interwebs?
Now I just need software to protect me from bullshit slashvertisments posing as articles.
There are only so many things you can do with a tablet form factor. Other than a button or two and some ports, they're all going to look more or less the same.
Because they have all these silly laws in the US about minimum wages, worker safety and so on that would drive up the cost of manufacturing. To incorrectly quote DrEvil.. "Why make millions when you can make billions"
Slashdot Mirror
Didn't someone already create a webpage called PleaseRobMe or something like that
using people's social networking locations?
They'll gradually reduce the included allowance or just stop offering that package.
Its all part of their pay-twice-per-view plan.
As I've mentioned before, this will give the ISPs an excuse to switch to per Gb billing.

Keep on truckin', tin-foil-hatter.
Its only paranoia because it hasn't happened yet.

Only if you're a really bad driver.
Theres also the chance that a non MPEG-LA member will pull a patent out of somewhere and start charging fees.
Ebay or anywhere that sells second hand DVDs for a reasonable price.

Its viral marketing for Lost II : Lost in Siberia

The EPA will never go against Monsanto when their former executives have jobs there.
I prefer 8 2.5" drives in two 5.25" bays.

DirectX 10 is getting better.
I wish someone would port Wine to WindowsXP.
Because that doesn't sell copies of Windows 7.
As kfogel notes, the letter "also accuses the Reid campaign of intending to impersonate Angle's campaign, which seems doubtful, but who knows?"
Isn't parody protected?
