I think his point is that he's an insane zealot that loves hyperbole.

"So is her career dependent on lies?"

Wow, trolling in the summary?

/sigh

Thank you for writing an excellent summary of the update.

Ebook prices are NOT falling, I don't know where you are getting that idea. Prices are increasing. Usually they are on par with the physical equivalent. Ebooks of a hardcover book are around $14-15. Ebooks of paperbacks are usually MORE expensive, since the physical book gets a discount and ebooks are rarely discounted.

Book publishers are just as bad (if not worse) than the recording industry.

Wow, what a visionary. Other predictions include: the world economy may start to show signs of weakness,the Middle East will become an area of political unrest, and computers will become commonplace.

These and other predictions can be found in 'The Big Book of Things That Are Already Happening'.

This might have been noteworthy years ago, but this is pretty commonplace in the here and now.

plenty of top-notch games can be downloaded in a minute for a dollar.

Apparently their definition of 'top-notch' is much more lenient than mine. 99.9% of smartphone games are crap. And most of the remaining could be more accurately described as 'diversions' than 'games'.

I have a bunch of games on my Ipad and Iphone, but none that I would want to play for more than 10 minutes at a time.

In short, I would rather have 1 Dragon Quest game for $40 than 40 $1 games.

It's Spider-man, not Spiderman. Unless the new character is Saul Spiderman from upstate New York.

They know nothing about it? Hardly. Quite a bit is known. The iPhone has been around for 4 generations of devices, each one being an extension of the last. Generation 5 will be an extension of gen 4. So already there is quite a bit known.

The summary and article is just a bunch of FUD.

The other day I went running. I thought it would be fun, as haven't gone running in years. Today my legs are so sore! After some research on the web, I found that there are thousands of people that have sore legs after running! Clearly, this is some sort of health risk, and there is a conspiracy between the athletic supply companies to keep peddling their wares and suppressing discussion of the discomfort brought on by running.

I, for one, will never run again. I will encourage my family and friends to do the same.

If it is a scam, what exactly are they promising and not delivering? I'm paying for a service, and they are providing it. When I stop paying for it, they stop providing it. I fail to see the scam.

I hate DRM as much as the next guy, but crazy accusations like this make us all look bad.

The case is unique because the site, which the accused Englishman ran, was not located in the US in any way.

He's being accused of being an Englishman? Seems like that should be easily verifiable.

You are overlooking the fact that not too long ago, Blockbuster *was* the competition. They were the established king, and Netflix was the newcomer.

Even when mobile devices are more powerful than the PS3, they will still have absolutely horrible controls. And because of that, they will never be good for anything more than lightweight casual games.

How come there are all these stories this week about how powerful mobile devices are? Anyone with half a brain knows that power is only part of the equation.

That is what is being done now. Go to the store and pick up a video game box. Each game is rated by the ESRB. The ratiings are far more detailed and less arbitrary than the MPAA. This is what is so frustrating - the info is right there in front of people's faces and they are too blind to see it.
