My $200 Laptop Can Beat Your $500 Table? Of course the average laptop has more computing power than the average table. Have you even read the article yourself, CmdrTaco, or did you just look at the title like us Slashdotters?

What is this difference you speak of? They are the same for phones, for cable, for internet, for food, for everything. Major companies do not let other companies have a better price/product/quality of service if they can at all help it. This means that changes propagate throughout the market immediately, fast enough there is often no time to plan it out beforehand.

If company A and company B (and Company C, etc) produce the same product with the same quality for the same price, and any changes are mirrored immediately, as if they planned it out beforehand, they are de facto a price fixing consortium, a type of monopoly.

When someone hacks CmdrTaco's account and posts something embarrassing using his name. I mean embarrassing enough we can tell it wasn't him, of course.

This may be difficult, to be honest.

I'm fairly certain rooting your phone and installing a new OS removes most of those nice proprietary apps. That's part of why I rooted mine. The rest was to fix the bluetooth stack, but that hardly counts as spying.

The wheel of time turns, moving from one age to the next. History falls to myth, myth to legend, legend to half remembered tales spoken around the fire, and eventually, long after even that is forgotten, that age comes again.

Today the top story is things we've already reported on. In related news, movie theaters now want to get your cell number when you buy a movie ticket.

If "an individual probably could produce one without prohibitive cost" what is stopping him from making the prototype and patenting it? Magic? The desire to use this argument to make your point? What?
