The problem is that the moment such a filter is implemented, organizations that already use other methods to get rid of images they don't approve, will demand such filter to be enabled on their whim, without allowing people to opt out.
As long as the organization's you are referring to are not ISP's then I'm fine with this too. If you're on someone else's equipment (eg: work), you are subject to their rules.
Not just ESPN... in fact, not espn at all. You're pretty much screwed on just about any live sporting event. I would've given up cable long ago if not for this fact.
EA is better off putting out roster updates. They practically own a monopoly on sports games (particularly the Madden series), and whenever they put out a new "feature", it's usually more-or-less something that benefits them and hurts the consumer. I'm sick of buying half a game, and EA is one of the biggest offenders IMO.
With a warrant, they should be able to decrypt your laptop... but I certaintly wouldn't help them do it. Isn't there something in the constitution about not having to implicate yourself?
I think you're missing the point here. I don't think the point is really about DRM or openness. I think the major point is Android. I buy my music off of Amazon, but it would be nice to have a way of syncing my device the same way iPhone users do. I know there are a few applications out there to do it, but like you already pointed out, none of them are nearly as polished as iTunes. Anything close and I'll probably give their tool a shot.
Maybe... Maybe not. I can still go into any store in the US and buy something with good old-fashioned cash. If I went in their with my digital wallet of BitCoins, they'd probably laugh at me.
On a side note, if they were real geeks, they would've called them credits.
You may be preaching to the choir, but it's all about the bottom line. Fox news isn't really news - it's entertainment. Fox will continue to sell what people are buying. People think that they are dumb and uninformed, I disagree - I think they are very smart and very informed... about money. All other news outlets are carbon copies of the same formula with a different spin.
Its also quite arguably libelous claiming or inferring that a competitor is stealing your product. If they actually believe this to be true, why not launch an actual lawsuit. God knows companies love to use their lawyers. Otherwise, I'd just call it competition, and if MS happens to have a better product, Google should be nervous of them.
Most of the applications that I want already exist. There are a few specialized apps that I may need to wait around for from various service providers (Comcast is one of them), but I don't necessarily think its a great idea to close the gap via spamming the app store.
Hardware is always a limitation of what a device can do. That being said, I can download whatever I want outside of the Android app store. The only limitation placed on apps in the Android app store from what I've seen is denying access of malware which seems fairly reasonable IMHO.
One of the key points for me is if there's some piece of functionality or software I want, I can develop and install it without inclusion into the app store. As an added bonus, I don't need a specific type of machine (Mac) or software (iTunes) to facilitate any of this.
I only have one gmail address and have reduced my number of spam messages via filtering. I found that a lot of spam content was coming from the same places. A lot of spam gets picked up via gmail's spam filtering.

I'll admit... it's entirely possible that I don't understand the meaning of that word.
This is what happens when businesses and government consider "intellectual property" to be a great base for an economy.
Why wouldn't they think that? Seems like there's a lot of people making a lot of money in litigation.

they are giving you the option to censor images. I think that's a fairly large distinction.

But how will the government know what you're doing if your device is turned off?
"There are presently 80,000 inmates in the US employed in commercial activity, some earning as little as 21 cents an hour."
Well, they do get free room and board.
100,000 dollars really isn't that much money.

Blu-ray is the only feature Sony hasn't taken out of my Playstation 3.
Non-system disk or disk error. Replace and strike any key when ready
wtf?
So what you're really telling me is - they can tell me its raining on Titan, but I can't seem to get reliable weather forcasts here.
Isn't the dollar already worthless?
Maybe... Maybe not. I can still go into any store in the US and buy something with good old-fashioned cash. If I went in their with my digital wallet of BitCoins, they'd probably laugh at me.

I hacked it to make Bing come up with the same results as Google... Please send me a check or a money order.

So... did someone else launch a natural satellite?
Is that a serious question? The moon is a natural satellite.

I'm guessing this is because spam is simply not getting through email filters in the same quantity as in the past making it pointless to send.
I agree - How to train your dragon was one of the best animated films I've seen in years. It really seemed to come out of nowhere.
