You could, but it really depends on what your end goals are. Do you really want to go after pirates, RIAA style, suing a bunch of children and grandmas? Or do you want to make an effort to convert that pirate into a sale? Even if you offer it at a discount, its still better than not getting any revenue from them.
No, he did call out a fragmentation issue: The one in the graphics hardware. Because of the different chips used, he can't use the 2-bit compression that he can use on iOS.
That's not a bad idea. A new marketplace, directed solely at games. The only things it would have to do really well are search, and basically telling you if your phone can even handle Game X. I don't know if it should allow you to buy regardless, though.
Anybody know how much it is supposed to cost? It seems pretty good, but if its gonna be like $1000, its a non-starter for me, and its not gonna dethrone the iPad.
Well, if Wacom was the company contracted out to develop the pen tablet technology, they might be pretty psyched about it.
However, currently, you can try the Pogo Stylus, which is a capacitative stylus that works pretty well, even at detecting some tilt stuff. Its not as good as a Wacom, but at $15, its pretty good for general use.
The main reason he accepts that smaller salary is that he has to, at least if he wants to be in this country. Thanks to the fucked up way the H1-B visa system is set up, they are basically indentured servants to the employer that brought them here. If they don't polish their employer's knob in every way, they get sent back to India.
Somehow, I don't share the enthusiasm. I have a Vibrant, and last I heard, they were just starting to roll out Android 2.2 to the i9000, and still were holding off on the Vibrant for another week or two. Unless they just decided to move straight from 2.1 to 2.3.
Also, remember that, due to the mental giants that set up the US's cell phone infrastructure, phones are largely stuck to the carrier they were made for, especially if you want 3G signals.
Comedy Central is also the one that aired the episode of South Park where they said Shit like 150 times. Most of that bleeping is due to the network's own decency standards. Also, if you watch Comedy Central after midnight, they do swear. They still cut the shit demon out of Dogma, though.
It varies from provider to provider, but I know that Google is in some set-top boxes doing their analytics and ad stuff on some TV provider's boxes. I think they're on one of the Satellite boxes too. Look up Google TV ads. (I'd put a link but, stupid Chrome, not letting me copy and paste). Cable boxes are a little more advanced than you'd think. But yeah, I don't think Nielson has gotten in on that yet. Seems extremely silly that they haven't.
Think about it, though. If all those cables and war journals had simply been put on BitTorrent anonymously, would they have gotten anywhere near the press?
It is, apparently. Part of the DMCA is against distributing tools which can be used to circumvent the DMCA. When the LoC declares exemptions for doing things like decrypting DVDs or jailbreaking phones, unless they specifically mention distributing the tools is ok, then the exemption has not been granted for the tools.
Of course, I'd love to see that try to stand up in court, that distributing a tool which performs an action made legal by the LoC is still illegal.
That's just stupid. Without the power to nullify laws that are unconstitutional, how is the Judiciary supposed to serve as a check on the Legislative branch?
Or, you could learn some fucking history, and look into why. The FCC was given the authority to regulate "decency" on radio and OTA TV because those airwaves are scarce, meaning there are only a few channels/stations available in a given area. That's the only reason. They don't regulate cable TV or phone lines for content because they aren't. Since Internet isn't scarce, they can't regulate its content.
Only idiots think that. There is nothing in any Net Neutrality proposal that does anything close to that. If you are parroting those ideas, you're either an idiot who had them told to you, or you're just spreading FUD to defeat something the Democrats are trying to do.
You realize there are two sides to the Laffer Curve, right? And that one of those sides says that you increase revenue by increasing taxes? How do you know we're not on that side?
Bullshit. They *may* have done this with Obama, but when on TV, or in every townhall meeting, all they said was "DEATH PANELS! SOCIALISM!", thus dragging the national discourse down even further so that we couldn't have a decent debate on the topic. That is all on them.
No, I don't. You know why? Because it didn't happen. When Democrats took office, they only had 59 seats due to the Minnesota Senate election being contested. When that got sorted out, then Sen. Kennedy died, thus leaving them with 59 seats again.
But at least by calling them out, they're not controlling the message, and people are hearing that it is the Republicans that are blocking everything. What he's doing now is letting them control the message, and letting them bitch that the President isn't working with them, meaning that he has to bend over backwards for them.

The banks won't just sit on that money
Nowadays they will.
No. Just no. I mean, did you even use Windows ME?
Cause the banks are really doing some hard-core investing right now.
So you're saying that Zuckerberg should instead take his money and become a costumed crime fighter?
Remember, you also have to pay lawyers, court costs, etc. And not every pirate you sue will actually be able to pay. See Jamie Thomas.

No, but if the Wall Street folks think something is a good idea, its probably not. At least not for everyone else in the country.

As was the Nexus One. Didn't help it much.

and a super majority in the Senate for 2 years?
No, I don't. You know why? Because it didn't happen. When Democrats took office, they only had 59 seats due to the Minnesota Senate election being contested. When that got sorted out, then Sen. Kennedy died, thus leaving them with 59 seats again.
