You do know that games bought on GoG come without DRM and you don't need to install the downloader do download and play the games, right?

(says that and updates his Steam and Origin clients *g*)

I recently ripped my ~650 CDs to FLAC.
It took a few weeks as I was doing it in the evening and on weekends when I was spending time on my computer anyway.

I used MP3tag and TagScanner (MP3tag can't handle disc numbers, and gets confusing when displaying a big number of files) to make sure the metadata are consistend across all the files.
Yes, I had to spend some time to make sure that's the case, but now that part of my music collection is as I want it to.

If only it was as easy to digitize all my vinyl records...

You mean something like 'Humle THQ Bundle' instead of 'Humble Indie Bundle'?
Yeah, if only they had done so...

So... specific Humble Bundles where advertised as DRM-free, and that's why this one has to be DRM-free as well?

On the list on wikipedia I see alone 6 other Humble Bundles that had lower averages.
Considering that this one has so far only run for 1 day and that the average is likely going up over time, I'm pretty sure that you will be proven wrong.

Actually, since there is more than one Android phone maker, I don't care that much about wether one of them thrives, as long as the ecosystem Android does.

So far all of my smartphones have been made by HTC.
Now, HTC doesn't look very healthy right now.
Still, I care about using an Android phone more than about that phone being made by HTC, so while I hope HTC recovers, it wouldn't hurt me that much if they don't.

That's one of the advantages of an ecosystem vs. a monoculture.

Next year will be the year of Linux on the desktop!

The downfall of Windows and the rise of Linux has been foretold many many times. I don't hold my breath.

Let me tell you how this isn't exactly like the anti-trust situation with Microsoft:
Microsoft Windows had and has a (near) monopoly on the desktop OS market.
Apple does not have a monopoly on the smartphone or tablet market. They are one of the biggest players, but they do have real competition.

You can only be found guily to abuse your monopoly if you have a monopoly.

(It hurts to write this, as I'm as anti-Apple as they come, but I don't like critisizing Apple on false grounds. I leave that to the fanbois.)

Understanding the written word isn't your strong suit, right?

First, he doesn#t claim that these numbers where measured at the same time (Blackberry: at their peak, Windows: still)

Also, these numbers are in part from different fields (Blackberry: smartphones, Windows: desktop/notebook OS, Samsung: smartphones)

And finally, it seems you made up the number for Samsung.

So: fail

Well, I do not know the exact rules that define how the winner of the Tour de France is determinted, but I'm pretty sure that 'to not use drugs' is somewhere in there.

So, no, he didn't win.
He just gave a good impression of a winner.

Well, when I read about the court cases I often reader 'lawyer from well known firm xyz'.
So yeah, those huge megacorps do hire external law firms.

This goes both ways.
Apple can't go and decide for themselves what is a proper rate.

But I can tell you one thing: $1 per device without compensation for past patent use is not.

Why do you think that's unfair?
The question is whether Apple was the first one to think of this design.
If others had mockups and demos that where similar, Apple was obviously not the first one.

No.
Because Apple has been using patented technology for years they are expected to pay for it.

It's not Motorolas fault if Apple was using patented technology and didn't put some money from the profits on the bank to pay for using these patents later on.

No. Because Apple does not have a Monopoly or near Monopoly in a market segment. ("iPhones" and "iPads" are not a market segment, "smartphones" and "tablets" are.)

Microsoft wasn't fined for pushing IE, but for leveraging Windows' position as a Monopoly tu push IE.
