lamorpaOk, so the servers go down. What about our 'screwed' What's a 'screwed'? I would think that after the servers go down, you're (you are) screwed. Thanks for being a trolling A-Hole. Of course no one here would have understood what rantoc meant without your wonderful clarification of...

supallI disagree. When the protesters get violent, they lose support for their cause. Look at how divided the nation was during the Vietnam War - those hippies couldn't get the support they needed to end it quickly. Compare that to MLK's Civil Rights movement. Yeah, he was assassinated, but...

supallAnd yet, MLK Jr managed to get his point across without violent protests. And yet the various Occupy Wall Street Protests have been summarily stomped out by the NYPD and the UC Davis Police (see the pepper spraying incident). MLK and his supporters were beaten, harassed and many were...

amk-aka-phantomNo, I do NOT see it. You completely missed my point - keeping up with recent tech is easy. Yes, I do spend my day online checking benchmarks and hardware news; it's part of my job. Even then, I keep up with innovations in EVERY area of life that relates to me and that I use. It...

I kind of knew that you would fire back with pointless drivel, and as much as I hate feeding trolls, I'll take the bait. Those people that you would prefer self-destruct probably know infinitely more than you do about many other subjects. This world isn't simply just about tech gadgets. Many...

@WhysoBluepandabear and @amk-aka-phantom Staying abreast with the changes in tech is a matter of priority. Staying current costs a lot of coin! With the rapid pace of innovation in the tech sector, something that was cutting edge just a few years ago is a worthless, obsolete relic today...

So, this thing is obsolete already....and it's not even available yet. This may be more of a hit at a $79 or $99 price point, but for $200, it is just another tablet failure. Consider the following: - 1 GHz single core processor - Resistive touch screen - Only 512MB RAM - 4GB on-board...

10 comments, 9 of which are spam? Come on Tom's, please at least try to put an end to this nonsense. It should be easy to create a RegEx that can filter these things out. And for those who are spamming the comments, do you really get traffic through this? I don't know about everyone else...

hunter315Thats okay, campus is covered in WiFi so it wont matter for me for a few years, but im going to be upset if $30 doesnt get you much data to work with. Too bad you are compelled to purchase a data plan with any smartphone. You don't even get the benefit of a lower price point like the...

godnodogor like Jobs says: You´re holding it wrong! "You're driving it wrong!" There, fixed it for ya.

Blockbuster had a good idea that shored up it's brick and mortar stores for a while at least. You could return your movies received via subscription to a store and receive a free rental credit. Their subscription undercut Netflix and the in-store exchange was great! Unfortunately, their...

And who doesn't speed on the highway either? Obviously many people do. The point is that when I purchase a DVD/CD/Blu-Ray for the kids, I don't want to be forced to purchase another when it gets scratched. Give people options and most will comply. You will never completely eradicate piracy...

So...Create another vocal fringe group with a few hundred active supporters? Effort != Results What was the public sentiment when RIAA went on the offensive, and sued thousands of individuals from children to grandparents for six figures because of a few dozen songs? How much affect did that...

And how would you go about trying to affect change. It's like telling politicians that they should pass a bill for term limits.

tolhamhere's a better idea: put your energy into a political movement to change legislation. How many people actually asked their politicians for DRM, copyright infringement lawsuits, DCMA and other legislation? Oh, wait, it was the RIAA and MPAA that asked for that. Hmmmm.... apparently two...
