If TPP, countries would be 'hurting the profits of the company', therefore could be sued when manifesting the will of their citizens at the expense of Suckenberg.

Downloading and sharing is jailable and they can track and find the guilty party despite most of the world urging 'authorities' not to. Scamming and infecting can be chased to these levels, and, despite most of the world wishing authorities to chase scammers, they are still there and we are not...

Tech is not enough when there is no community, yet. SecondLife focused on community and let the tech come, when it comes. And they are still going steady.

Can I report the whole OS as a bug? It consumes too many cpu cycles unnecessarily, making technology act worse rather than better the more it is refined. (refined by whom? engineers make things go smoother, lawyers make things go slower, M$ has more lawyers than engineers, maybe that is the way...

I would be tempted to go with the defense of Qualcomm like this: Apple might be our real competitor, with whom we actually have to compete and their loss is our gain, unlike the small fish that swim around us. This competitor we do not wish to aid, so, we are giving it our work and IP at higher...

A part of me wishes companies would tell Germany there is no law obligating companies to hold user data, even when it is completely legal, and to drop everything and tell them: build your own policed internet, and hope your people don't learn how to circumvent it and see you as the little China...

As long as they don't go patenting 'method to add 1+1 with qubits', it is fine if they enter the race, even though M$ is maybe the most concentrated embodiment of anticompetitive practices (right alongside Apple). But, I expect their lawyers will push for that. Methods of operations in any...

M$ bots in this thread please raise your hand. (I mean lawyers disguised as pc enthusiasts, or pc enthusiasts bribed to pretend they are using M$). Nah... statistics will be skewed anyway towards the pile of <mod edit> with more money. <Mod Note: You've been a member here long enough to know...

Meanwhile in the soon future: Install/run app on phone, plug/install/run device/program on computer, put phone on VR holder, plug phones to phone, ... One step at a time. Glad for this step. Many others will follow.

Politicians are filtered at the base, and are hooked up in leverage scandals they did or did not. Even if they make it through (a lifetime of hiding while being part of the system that mediates this, practically helping the system get rid of disruptive elements), elections are too few and far...

Here is the bigger question: Can it PLAY Crysis? Not run it, play it. And even enjoy it maybe? Learn the objectives, deal with the situations, etc. : )

Question: if one was not on a monopolistic position, can they decide with whom they wish to do business with, and to what price to hold the moral standard before conceding? I would also probably have Apple pay 5-10x more than the regular folks, on principle. I agree on anti monopolistic...

Pre-encrypt, till encryption becomes illegal... looking at you brexiters, may you become the bad exception, not the norm.

From the angle shown in the pictures many less thin devices look as if they were thin. Just sayin'.

Software based planned obsolescence.
