I like the option of selling my games and buying used games. If Microsoft makes my games less valuable to me by limiting my options then they should be cheaper. I've heard nothing alluding to this officially.
I'm running Win8 Pro on my laptop. The OS weighs in at about 25GB which means the rest of the bloat comes from the pre-installed apps. Can they be removed?
I wonder why Apple took this route. When they introduced the iPod they made an agreement with Line 6 who owns the mark Pod for the guitar effects processor.
I only have personal knowledge from black women who don't want to perm their hair anymore. It's a huge statement for them for accepting themselves as they are. They share hair style information, hair care and support each other in cases where employers deem braids, for instance, as unacceptable in the work place.
Blocking technology based upon the perception that it could be used illegally isn't sound reasoning especially from a company that advertises their file sharing feature as ideal.
Twitter requires no ID to create an account. The account could have been Carreon in so much as Twitter knows. Even Facebook, which requires your "real name", has no idea if you are who you say you are.
Windows 8 has native Active Directory support for device and user management. That along with ActiveSync and I think the phones and tablets are for the enterprise.
Simply copying someone's idea isn't always enough to being successful with it. Google+, a social network clone, still can't compete with Facebook. All of the Instagram clones don't have anywhere near the amount of users that Instagram has. Execution of an idea is what counts.
I did not tell anyone to marry, let alone tell gays to marry straight. I never said that gays weren't treated badly. I also never said that gays should pretend they are not gay to get married. Nothing I said was false or was meant to slight gay people.
My comment was a response to someone comparing the two plights. For me, the differences are worth discussing.
Actually everyone except blacks could vote. Contrary to popular belief, gay people can marry, just not same sex. This isn't a statement against same sex marriage, I'm just making a subtle distinction. Gay people have never experienced the maltreatment that blacks have in this country.
I don't see any similarity between the two. Blacks were trying to obtain equal rights. The right to marry same sex is one that no one has, not just gay people.
I don't think that law needs to get involved too early (if at all) in tech innovations. I do think society will determine whats correct and whats not. If a dispute arises then courts and lawmakers should be involved.
