Actually the almost exact counterpart of jailbreaking for Android phones would be rooting. You don't have to "root" your phone to install 3rd party (ie. not coming from Market) APK's. With iPhone, you need to jailbreak it.
Hell, there is a checkbox in Android settings that allows one to install 3rd party application packages.
Also, Google Answers could have been Yahoo Answers. Google Directory could have been Yahoo Directory. Google Wave could have been... Well... What was it anyway?
What makes you think that the only reason of BitTorrent's success is its lack of search? I remember that the switch from eDonkey/eMule to BitTorrent was solely because of BitTorrent protocol was much faster.
Hey, Lotus Notes is a great idea, which is still currently being replicated (pun intended) by No-SQL databases (CouchDB, MongoDB etc). The user interface and bloat of the client (Lotus Notes) has nothing to do with the underlying architecture (NSF).
A sale is not always a sale. Shops often discount a few items hoping that people purchasing them will find some other items they saw while shopping interesting too. Resellers like this guy defeat the purpose.

10000 and 800 are not round numbers.
Reader 10 is still a large download but it loads much faster than, say, Reader 8 or 9.
I believe it is mainly because they don't preload plugins anymore.

2% relatively small expense? What is your profit margin?
What if I don't?
I don't use a Mac, but still I wonder. In what application you need to click both buttons?
Wrong. My 21 MB Seagate ST-225 (MFM) was still operating until a few years ago. I purchased it in 1987~1988, together with an IBM PS/2 Model 30 Clone:

What do you expect me to do? Write a spider and create an index of the web on *my* computer?
...and if they don't really "take" it but take a "copy" of it?

Do you have an upload cap?

So the same method can theoretically be applied to two sperms from the same male. I can be the father and mother of my own child then.

Some "toys" require too much power.
Hi David. Isn't it possible for you to just cooperate with Akamai and resolve according to the client location based on IP address?
CAPTCHAs can also be defeated with a system like reCAPTCHA.
Actually they were called intros. "Demo" meant a standalone (and usually longer than an intro) audio/visual show.
What happens after 7 years?
With this logic, a web browser for iPhone cannot be allowed either.
You download (via HTTP) arbitrary code (javascript) and execute it, basically bypassing Apple's approve/reject process (for HTML files?)...

Is it 11 pounds already? This one adds too much weight for a 10.6" screen.
You are technically right but I believe the grandparent was trying to get a funny moderation.
