You really should read the article...
"Despite the claimed decrease in piracy, revenues through legal channels are down as well. This is strange, because in previous years these losses were solely attributed to piracy."
OMG! Laws are not the answer people!
If you replaced the damn airbag in a steering wheel with a spear that had a 100% chance of striking the driver in the heart when something went wrong (ie hit a bicyclist, curb, small dog, ...squirrels need to be exempt) you would solve all traffic problems.
Ok for everyone cheering for this and backing the gov't assertions about the evils of drivers being distracted with cell phones. How come eating, putting on make up (yes I'm singling you females out), drinking (non-alc), and smoking aren't ALSO illegal as distractions as well?
If you're...
I wondered about this possible being a problem for the MPAA and RIAA. If word gets out that even 30% of Megaupload's traffic was legitimate it will definitely put a dent in the "File sharers do nothing but steal from us!" line they've been beating on from the begining. Hell, what if it comes...
LMAO!!!
Does this mean plan B is planting the servers in the arctic defended by Linux powered robot penguins armed with laser beam eyes? Please say yes!
Sore losers much?
So for anyone with AT&T service you need to contact this guy NOW! It is obvious AT&T is trying to pay him to shut up and not tell anyone else how to successfully sue them in court.
Well it is safe to say this was a foregone conclusion. Why? Simple. There's no reason for EA to build and then publish Origin if PC sales were a dying breed. As everyone here has already noted the dying element is the traditional box on the shelf DVD sales element.
Well Steve thank you for the post. At least I laughed out loud at it!
...Maybe because I went to the article and saw what's under the big orange "oh you don't want our phone books anymore?". The whole "Go here on the web and see what we're doing to help the environment."
Honestly I think...
Is this possibly a threat? Yes.
Does this mean the identity of "Mr. X" should be revealed? Yes.
Is the comment made by "Mr. X" really a threat? No idea and that's why the police go to "Mr. X" and find out if he even owns a machete.
Honestly this is probably just some idiot who...
...Somewhere in the depths of Nokia's evil laboratory...
Nerd 1: "Hey we aren't selling phones like we used to, how are we going to fix this?"
Nerd 2: "What if we made a camera that has some phone features. That way we can market a camera rather than a phone!"
Nerd 1: "Brilliant!"
Nerd 2...
Just a hunch... But if all the AT&T Unlimited Data plan people REALLY want to enact change I highly suggest you guys create a Facebook page, get this guy to publish how he got the better of AT&T, and then ON THE SAME DAY all file small claims court greviances against AT&T... I think a certain...
Ok I keep seeing plenty of people bringing up data center costs. Fellow data center junkies, since were talking about books wouldn't it be logical to say that the cost associated with handing over an ebook to someone are probably about 1/100th of say a movie or music for that matter? Last time...
:eek::eek::eek:
Now THAT is a system bug... YUCK!
You sir are truly dedicated. An, "I'm sorry there's nothing I can do. Even the roaches died." would DEFINITELY have been my response along with the sale of some bug spray and cans of compressed air for a do it yourself job. :)
To chime in with the others, the reason ebooks are more expensive than traditional media (paperback, etc.) is the industry understands the sale of physical units versus digital downloads. The book publishing industry is no different in their mindset than the music and movie industries. The...
I don't know about the rest of you, but I am awfully tired of finding paperback and hardback books for less than their e-reader cousins that are chocked full of spelling and grammar mistakes. My suspicion is Amazon would like to change that pricing scheme as well. It just doesn't make any...
...and for today's irony the city council and town in general get pissed off at the "WTF" campaign while the now scrapped city plan gets viral media attention.
So, once again, we've learned what we already know. Those in power have no clue about what moves those they are supposed to oversee.
Plan UK, I don't think that word means what you think it means. If you REALLY wanted to discriminate then the billboard should take a mans money and give it to the next woman who visits the billboard...
Wait... Nevermind... That's already been done... It's called a Bar.
I sincerely hope Tim knocks one out of the park with this project. If he does this idea that we need big studios or production companies can finally be thrown out the window and gaming can get back to making fun rather than just making cash.
I supported S.P.A.Z. from the start and I'll...
End users will always screw up security regardless of the amount of grease on their screen. I'm sure there are many of us here that have already experienced the "My phone just stopped working." line as you see the limit on password tries has been reached and the phone is now on meltdown. :mad:
Something tells me these guys are also confounded as to why gaming is pretty much non-existent for their Apple computers as well... Let us leave them to being "bold" on their BlackBerry phones shall we?
