In business school they call this the Gillette strategy, after the razors. Sell the razors at a loss...make your money back easily on the blades. Nail guns are sold the same way. The companies have been know to pass out free nail guns to construction companies just so they will buy more nails. Even if you buy a gun in a store, they are sold at pretty close to cost. Its a classic strategy. Besides, the more volume they can build, the closer to break-even they can get. By this time next year I bet they will be making a profit.
Except its not a strategy by Gillette: "The usual story about Gillette is that he realized that a disposable razor blade would not only be convenient, but also generate a continuous revenue stream. To foster that stream, he sold razors at an artificially low price to create the market for the blades.[1][3] But in fact Gillette razors were expensive when they were first introduced, and the price only went down after his patents expired: it was his competitors who invented the razors-and-blades model.[4]" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freebie_marketing
you can't be tagged if you don't have a facebook profile.
I am sure you can put people's names in(that arent on facebook) but its not proper tagging as its not unique.
I know, it is hard to fathom that anyone would not have an account, but I have intentionally avoided it myself. However since I do appear to be the only person left in the world who doesn't have one, there is bound to be something that someone who knows me has posted that relates to me. Is it possible to request it? After all, if a user requests all the info that facebook as on them, and all they give them is the information that they posted, that is - to be kind - a very incomplete version of the data set.
How do you know which person you are getting the information on, without the unique login? So they can only give information on the person's userid and anywhere they are mentioned uniquely. tagged photos etc.. come to mind. Imagine trying to code the logic for anything else and make it correct.
Do you get to use a Canon for this?
You could nickone - no I'll get my coat
Who would do a thing like that?
I read that as someone taken his IP address. Makes much more sense as intellectual property
The implications are profound.
No, not really. Unless, maybe, you're Geordi LaForge.
Yes! AR makes a cool gimmick and you could build cool games around it but on the other hand, it's fairly useless if you don't have a display device you can wear all the time. Some glasses, some contacts, something fancy and futuristic even by today's standards. Sure, video glasses exist, but all of them are ugly and none of the high-res ones are even vaguely affordable. Virtually none of them have mounted cameras so you need to add a rangefinder to calculate parallax.
Where is my cheap eyetap? You could build one for a thousand dollars years ago, supposedly.

But will it boot at all from removable disks?
Chances are, if they "secured" hard disk boot in such a way, they made booting from removable media impossible as well...
but will it blend - sorry I had to do that..
I don't know where you live, but here all ATM's are in walls, so unless you print a whole building...
In the UK cash machines are all over the place. In corner stores for example. Stand alone kiosk type things. google kiosk cash machine.
My bank fitted all ATM's with translucent green card slots, and a "idle" picture that shows "Do NOT insert card if slot does not match photo". Good luck on hiding your skimmer in something translucent.
You could just 3d print a cash machine and put a small lcd monitor in it and say sorry but your card has been kept please phone this number. Lots of cash machines aren't in banks anymore.
In some of the areas where there were riots and looting. Not in others. And the rioters seem to come from across the social spectrum (the teenage daughter of a millionaire has been arrested, although she has pleaded not guilty)..
Is that champagne looting rather than socialism then, wrt millionaire daughters
