Particularly, how can a software startup, wishing to take its product to the international market, hope to compete with the large software companies and their armada of patents?
If we leave apart the issue of patents and infringement and if the startup does make a big name for themselves, they will be acquired by biggies who are on an acquisition spree just to keep up with their competition! A lot of these have happened, famous ones being Flickr and Konfabulator being acquired by Yahoo!, YouTube by Google, and the amazing of all deals was the historic and legendary acquisition of Hotmail by Microsoft...
Podloso has no malicious payload, and does not present a real threat; it simply demonstrates that it is, theoretically possible to create malicious programs for such devices.
Does not matter even if it presents any threat, there's always apple restore to the save... It is not possible to make an iPod useless just by altering software on it...
It's funny to think what would be the threat even if my ipod running ipodLinux was affected by some virus, would it play my songs in reverse for me by chance;) making them sound alien:)

Yes, but does it run Lunix?
I have to argue there are still a lot of computing applications where the network is of only tangential interest. Word processing, desktop publishing
Office automation is moving out of the standard Desktop application paradigm to online browser based rich clients with the rapid growth and advancements of Web 2.0 a.k.a AJAX, XHTML and allies.
The paradigm shift to virtual offices has already begun!
There's no shortage of work where the network is really just a a process for getting an initial set of data onto the machine to be manipulated (if it even does that - eg: photo editing with photos coming straight off the camera).
I wonder why Major Camera manufacturers have started building cameras with wi-fi support then...
The iPod is the main reason iTunes is popular (( don't think I've _ever_ used iTunes music sharing features - or the iTunes Store, for that matter).
I don't agree here, initially people might have started using iTunes only since the time they got acquainted with an iPod, but that's not the case anymore... It is a must that you need iTunes if you have an iPod, but the reverse is not at all true.
Podcasting is a runaway hit with web savvy population, and i don't think you would need an iPod to listen to podcasts
And your code is definitely performance sensitive if you are not giving it out for free and selling it as a Product or a Service...
The network really is the computer
There are now no interesting non-networked applications. Standalone computers are devices for watching stored video or listening to music, usually on airplanes.
I agree completely since it is a fact that has been established over the years, i still wonder if iTunes(one of the best examples i could remember) would have been so widely used today if not for the music sharing feature!
On occasional levels in Quake III Arena, you can see the Icon of Sin from Doom II on the walls as decorations. The Icon of Sin was the boss you had to destroy at the end of Doom II.
This kind of detection is difficult if not impossible, as others posed, what if the copy is encrypted? or what if it is altered to make it difficult to find even using complex Image Processing algorithms? these algorithms may fail to detect it as a copy even if it has something like a 10% shift in hue or saturation, same can happen with video, will this system detect if i copy a video and change the color tones from full color to sepia?
I dont have a CVS repository there... I have removed the download i was offering before, since i am working on a new stable version which i will post shortly... and you have a very great attitude:P

If it parsed the story tag "dupe" (which actually are in DIV's using the CSS class "tags", so they should be identifiable), and could associate these tags with their detailed story (DIV's with CSS class "details"), these DIV's can then be hidden by applying the appropriate collapsing "display:none" style, and if you've got this far, possibly also add a link to expand these collapsed stories if you're still interested.

Looks like the select-text replies aren't AJAX, but it turns the reply to this link into an AJAX-enabled thingy.
The AJAX replies feature isn't for replying to comments, it's for those links that say "X Replies below your threshold." It makes it so you don't have to load a new page to see those replies.
Now we just have to wait for the VCs to come along and dump millions on the poor guy for using the word AJAX.
Woohoo!
