Low pay, stimulants, sensory deprivation, monitoring wires, memory loss for an unknown goal; So just how long have you been a video game developer?

>>The other possibility is "iPhone Pro".
Uh, no, unless it includes a telepathy feature, because NOBODY is going to hold a 10" tablet computer up to their ear to talk. Regardless, the laughter from onlookers would drown out the conversation.
In this age of compact electronics with organic forms, an iPhone Pro based on the platform in discussion would simply be iPhone's take on a 1985 bag phone.
Infrared photograph of everyone in the theatre. Mark my words, this is coming. For "security" reasons, to fight terrorism, etc.
Just like the outrageous crap in most EULAs, this will be posted somewhere on a wall, saying "by entering these premises, you are consenting to be photographed"
Even if that doesn't happen -- IMO, the amount of energy being poured into technology such as this seat tracking software would be better spent creating films worth watching. Between the smug know-it-all antics of the Hollywood crowd and the deep-as-a-puddle content of most dialog and storylines, there's just no compelling reason to attend.
LOTR was the most recent film I saw in a theatre. At the rate things are going, it may be the last film I see in any theatre.
Getting framed sucks... but what if it's all part of a setup?
Wasn't there some discussion about Obama wanting a new helicopter but "for the good of the nation" "considering today's economy" (nudge nudge, wink wink*) he decided against buying new helicopters.
But now that the security been breached, well, he just *has* to have a shiny new one, right?
(*What's a few hundred million dollars for a helicopter when we're committing to spending more money than the entire world's GDP, as computed using GAAP standards?)
And then they ask for a refund.
Ruthless!
Regardless of what you do as far as utilizing the servers, call your insurance agent straightaway and make sure that equipment is insured! Business property is very unlikely to be covered by your homeowner's policy so theft/fire/whatever could leave you financially exposed (or even liable, should the investors choose to come after you for reparations).
The electoral college was put in place so that there would be a check on the power of the uneducated masses...
And we've all seen how well THAT worked out.

Sure, it happens on both sides, but that was the most striking example that comes to mind when I think of uneducated voters.
OTOH, if you're running low on fuel/power, just cruise up onto the sidewalk and mow down a few unsuspecting pedestrians. *KaThumpKaThump* *KaThumpKaThump* Presto! Enough juice to make it home (after a quick run through the carwash, of course). Thanks, MIT!!
Well, one thing I can assure you is that your vote will NOT count in Iowa, should this bill pass into law. The Iowa tally is disregarded in favor of the wishes of voters elsewhere. How could this possibly be seen as a good idea other than freeing national campaigns to drop all pretenses of concern and thoroughly ignore Iowans next time around and merely focus on the "wants" (welfare/handouts/bailouts/bribes/etc) of the big population centers?
Those who rob Peter to pay Paul can always count on the support of Paul. This bill provides a neat mechanism for getting Peter's support, too.
I am baffled why anyone other than those in the aforementioned population centers would support it.
Wait a second. What started off as a laptop has devolved into a flash drive with a bluetooth chip & a battery! Another week and it'll be described as a "spiral-bound notebook and a pencil with a string tied to it."
$1 for a chalkboard and $9 to hire a group of people to follow you around and do whatever you write.
