Unfortunately, Microsoft is also the world's expert at Right Around the Corner. Isn't the effect of that to chill customers into not buying the Last of the Old Generation? Except Right Around the Corner... turns out to be several corners...
Could this pulverize Nokia's sales to hasten the end? What would MS do with a yard sale of the scraps of an imploded Nokia?
That's the bit. It's the whole category called "Appearance of Impropriety". It's just this side of entrapment. Notice the article kept sayin "edgy". So I bet some of those profiles have comments like "Look at the movie I ripped"... but they have a secret Shield Against Lawsuits +7.
Also, then when something goes viral, they then get to make nice cash selling the CD. But sky help us if a User posts a video! Oh gawd, he world will end! Sue him! Oh wait. It went viral too. Print the CD!
Yes, I was giving us a "freebie" incident, with some unknown tech not trashing the entire atmosphere after using a nuke. Then in the war after that, someone made a mistake...
Nice question, though I like someone's comment that you can't quite pull an Egypt incident here in the US, the US Military would just use our money to pulverize us and then send us into social nuclear winter.
The best revolt against social mores I can think of was the 60's free love movement against excessive morality of the 1950's. The key is legality. The "Spirit of 69" didn't violate any laws, which is why it worked. Morality was "just so", which lost out.
My rough guess this time around is a national vote social networking site. We used to "want privacy" in our votes, but now (last 50 years) that fragmentation is being used against us with colluding politicians & corporations. But if we used the Big Tracking mentality against them, we could create our own consensus of opinions and then the polls would just be the formality.
I once saw an awesome word that described "medicine in an impure phone". This means that ____ is absolutely not a placebo; however, all kinds of other good,bad, & ugly things are wrapped up in the "blob" that confuse the issue. Marketing's entire duty is to prevent rational decision making. I feel you have fallen prey to this.
So... don't be connected all the time. However, the realms of (smartphone) and (connected all the time) are not the same. Smartphones are hardware devices which Do Stuff. Connected is a service package choice. The offline apps are still neat.
I like my iPhone's organization of little app buttons and UI way better than my old Sprint brick years ago. Smart. However I didn't care for the current aggressive gouging of the mobile operators, so I canceled my monthly plan and went go-phone prepaid on AT&T. But alas, what about my data needs? WiFi. Work has one. *McDonalds* has one.
Ubuntu needs to resist the urge to play Extend and Extinguish (by accident). There was scuttle that Ubuntu wasn't properly sending their stuff back down to the Debian core to be merged.
Re: someone's comment on the Best of Debian, it would be interesting if Ubuntu and Mint and ____ and ____ all unified, and made 1 click options on the Debian Install "If you click this it will be easier but less pure."
I like the concept described above of Debian being almost an academic, theoretical distro, then externalize all the tweaks for newer users. I get the whole purity argument, and I only plead lack of ability to do it right, so I need the "crutches".
"It is never your duty to violate copyright! You must dispose of the materials immediately! Who cares if the originator feels like letting them sink into oblivion! That is their glorious prerogative as copyright holder while you, the consumer get to moan in anguish at what might have been saved!"
Is this still there on Beta 11? Last I briefly looked at the FF Development Notes they're making progress on getting rid of 'blocker' bugs, which I figured yours would be.
Just speculate for a minute - let's assume they pull their Evil Puppet String, call someone on the Purple Phone, and Voila, Google is faced with a cease and desist from doing business on the net. Just here in dreamland, suppose it is as easy as what Egypt pulled.
Would that be enough for the revolt to kick off real change? Would the frog finally notice it's been boiling?
This might be the only piece of The Newbie Experience I have no patience making policy over. I have taught a couple of brand new users very successfully with the catchphrase "when in doubt, right click and see what shows up". It's like a treasure chest of goodies.
The problem is we have now "wasted" this meme such that "any information coming from an inbound message in social media that gets repeated is either not intentionally repeated as an authorized communication", or else all info from an inbound message must be vetted by legal before being included in a reply.

Wow, that's +1 Arthur C. Clarke if I ever heard one! Your Writer May Vary.

I eat at McDonalds. Come on, a rollup won't kill you. Then you use the wifi. I'm lovin' it.
Nah, I have a much easier one for you.
Housing.
Housing drives people's budgets, and in turn drives the wages necessary to live there, which drives more housing to get those wages.
I could work for $8 an hour if I didn't have to pay housing. (It filters into the rent prices in a lot of places.)
Income Tax is a Hump Tax.
The poor have some neat credits, so they do okay, and we know the rich have even neater tricks, so they do great.
Develop Keyboards and Monitors that reject Coffee!
Brilliant answer.

I'll put a sign that says "beware of the leopard".
Take a look at the housing depression figures out west. There's room to build a couple of power plants out there.
No, we'll be bartering iPhones for Cows and Chickens after the 4th world war.
