There is no coming back from a reputation as an ad whore.
Unless of course you are actually advertising prostitution... NSFW - http://www.sherisranch.com/ in which case being "an ad whore" is exactly what you were shooting for!
It was a great idea for the EU to legislate "One True Connection", because we now have "One True Connection" rather than eleventy-billion connectors, soon to be eleventy-billion-and-one connectors.
I only need to connect my 'phone to charge it. I really don't give a shit if it's Micro, C-type, Mini or Purple Dildo shaped.
All you need is one of these puppies: http://xkcd.com/1406/ Also, if you have the Purple Dildo shaped connector and try to pass through airport security screening, you may have an interesting afternoon...
I'm not sure if I'd rather have the NSA spying on my or China trying to steal my intellectual property.
I don't believe this is an either/or situation.
And if you're not sure what that means, Google "double penetration"... but maybe not at work. Then again, with Google in the mix it will be "triple penetration"... bottom line is everyone will have your data and you will be screwed, like now but faster!
Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
People put me down 'cause that's the side of town I was born in
I love games, love to stream HD.
But I crap for an ISP!
Lord have mercy on a boy from down in the boondocks
Every night I will watch the light from the house upon the hill
They got 40megs a second in the whole damn place and it gives me such a thrill
But I don't dare knock on their door,
'cause I hacked their Master Card last year
So I'll just have to be content
To leach whenever I get near ...
Apologies to Joe South.
So what I'm curious to see is how people handle moving with heavy weights, without feeling the heavy weights. Spinning around could be potentially dangerous, and dropping items could be devastating if someone were to forget the true weight of the item they held.
Now let's all say it together...: We can work all that out in the software! Note to testing and QC departments: We will not be standing nearby while we work this out in software...
No, I'm saying EA feels that way about us. They don't see us as an enemy, they see us as something they own and can do with as they please... As to the eating thing, did you think I meant "cattle" instead of chattel? Cattle can be chattel, but chattel is not restricted to cattle...
I really don't care if they track my device but give me free stuff. My hamster has nothing to hide.
Sure, that's fine until GPS is refined enough to determine if it is in fact an ass hamster... if so, then your advertising content is going to undergo a transformation. Also, PETA may call... The "ethical treatment of animals" ones, not the "eating tasty animals" ones... hamsters are not considered tasty... ass hamsters even less so... NOT saying yours is in fact an ass hamster... but is his phone on vibrate?

Right, because people understand and care about that.
So much that they've flocked by the billions to closed, centralized platforms.
Here's the thought process of most internet users: "Are all my friends doing it?" "Does it have cute pictures of kittens?" YES -> Click on it.
"Open", "decentralized", or "user controlled" don't enter into it at all.

But I for one will not use something that is "Closed", "centralized", or "kitten controlled"!

Right but you wouldnt compare the accuracy of an M1A1 to the accuracy of an infantry rifle.
Well, if you are 2,500 meters away please shot at me with an infantry rifle...

Wait, did you mean "butt entitlement"?
That's a concept I can get behind!
"Butt adjacent" is OK too...
'cause slips happen...
EA has established itself as a company that views customers as the enemy.
You normally respect or are wary of an enemy...
If you don't, they are already your chattel or your victim...
I'm positive YOU are pronouncing that wrong...

The helmet runs for about $600,000, which doesn't include software integration with the aircraft’s systems.
How would you like to be the first guy to drop one of these... you know it's going to happen...
One thing is for certain: Linux users are still douchenozzles.
Well, if you're going to be involved in that process, you may as well be where the action is...
