I know this may not be a sure thing, but looking at the bright side, I don't think RIM would just easily pay $100 for any fart apps and generic clones. I really hope the app environment is polished enough for RIM to disrupt the market hold of iOS and Android. And I say the same to Windows Phone 8, Symbian, MeeGo, and upcoming trends of browser based OS too.
There are no such thing as too many competition for consumers.
I do believe that at this early point of time, 4K (or other higher than "HD" resolution) displays would be targeted at content creators, instead of content consumers. I do freelance videography, I would love to have high density display in small size. I keep hearing the same consensus from my peers within the same field that the display market had been stagnant at atrocious "FullHD 16:9". (Yes there are a lot of professional grade displays but they are financially out of reach from us mere freelancers:) )
I dont get it, Why would the 20" 4K display be considered dumb?
As a tablet it may not be seen as ideal to MOST of the people out there, but I'm more impressed that they managed to cram those pixels into 20" display. I'm not sure if they're the first to manufacture such hardware, but I've never seen anyone made that level of display at that small size. (not to forget as a tablet those includes the processor and the rest of the electronics.)
I recall some time back on/. , when another social networking site (which I can't recall the name) did something like this. A fellow slashdoter comes up with an interesting approach by slowly replacing the contents with false data instead of deleting the account. I think that would work well providing the site does not maintain old archives.
I for one don't really care for Bad Company series, but from the article it's written that "BF1943 will be focused on multiplayer". I always thought that Battlefield were always a multiplayer focused game, how more multiplayer can it get? I hope not by having/forcing annoying network clients (like GameSpy and such).
Hardware based deep packet inspection. Here in Malaysia the current monopoly, government linked company (TMnet) not only over sells broadband subscriptions, but throttles all P2P protocols by using Cisco hardware. If I recall correctly there was an article on/. about 80Gbps deep packet inspection hardware, around the Olympics me think.
I can't decide whether this is good or not. On one hand we'll be able to experience different type of game play in one game, but on the other hand I'm not quite sure of the quality as the I have a nagging feeling that the missions available will be quite repetitive.
I hardly ever fail CAPTCHAs before, but ever since RapidShare implements their new CAPTCHAs it made me realized of how many more people suffered through annoyance of this.
Kinda ironic though, it was supposed to weed out non-human. Reminds me of the Dilbert strip where PHB is considered the first human to fail the Turing Test.
Well, the report is slashdotted. Is Malaysia on the list ? Our ISP can be considered as government provided and monopolized the market. Blame wrong method of privatization.

But you are correct sir, it is an interesting concept and I would gladly be a paying customer for this service.

You mean like image interpolation ?
perhaps because that they're just used to it ?

How will they get agreement from current users? Does the TOS pops out the next time they login during the implementation?

I stopped reading after that.

Because, you know...criminals browse the web on their phone to plan/commit crime. Brilliant!

Who would, after battling torrents ?

And what's even cooler is when the colour fades out after years of washing, it's like having a repaint job!
