The answer is Asus' EEE Transformer that costs $399. It also has a microsd slot, that an ipad does not have.

This hack on Codemasters was days before their new big game came out, Dirt 3. What you may not know about Dirt 3 is the new "online pass" feature used to prevent second hand sales and piracy. What this online pass feature really did was prevent legit purchasers of Dirt 3 from playing online (because PSN was down) and from getting all the single player content (because of the online pass and PSN being down).

This just looks like the world balancing itself out. You know, Karma.

"Apple is not selling a competing app."

MS was not selling Internet Explorer either.

Ideas are a dime a dozen. A finished "product" is all that matters. This guy had his product out before Apple.

As per the Canadian Copyright Act, it is legal as long as you are the one doing the copying and it is for your ears only. It can be copied from an original or a 2nd generation copy (but your friend that gave you that 2nd gen copy has no committed a crime). Both are legal as long as you are the one personally doing the copying. If you personally make a copy and that copy is for your self only, it is all legal. If you give that 2nd gen copy to anyone, you have now committed a crime.

Perhaps software engineering and programming are not a real profession like being a Doctor or Lawyer. In those jobs, they get schooling and training.

"It shouldn't be too surprising to find they have different attitudes to things like this."

It also shouldn't be too surprising to find it believable that they might later remove this feature.

PSN was down, so he had no other option than to go outside to play.

"But look, you found the notice didn't you?"
