How about we get back to your snarky ass when "sales start dying"?

They just announced that Minecraft now has 70M+ active players each week. If releasing the code was 100% based on Notch's statment, they would not even have released what they just did.

Yea, Chrome OS is such a threat to Windows, that Google is adding the ability to run Windows to Chromebooks. /s

Yea, it is only rumor, but Google is about profit and getting data wherever they can. They will happily let you run Windows on their Chromebooks and you can bet that data-gathering will be built in the drives/platform-support. It's a win-win for MS and Google.

I think the OP is over thinking the DropBox decision. It comes down to one simple thing, not enough of their target audience are using Linux as a client OS.

They still call the *Backspace* key *Delete* so they obviously don't care about keyboards. :)

> The whole Digital Rights Management (DRM) train started with music and films

How can I take any of it seriously when they start with a statement like that? Computer games had DRM, (often based on looking up things in the manual) long before folks with dealing with digital music and video.

You are an idiot. My smartwatch allows me to safely send and receive messages at a stop light on my motorcycle. That alone is worth what I paid for it.

Don't be an ass. It would only be a rip-off if hid the specs. If people buy it knowing the real specs, it is not a rip off.

> You may just feel a connection to the more than 7 billion other people on this planet we share this ride with.

If you want to feel a connection with the others on the planet, how about you take the millions this BS cost and use it to help bring clean water to the millions of people around the world that do not have access to it today?

Because you have to walk before you can run. When you buy/enable the feature you opt in to Tesla mining the data so we can someday actually have autonomous cars.

What a bunch of FUD...

> an attacker with access to the computer could have enabled it to record what a user was typing

An attacker with access to the computer could just install a keylogger. This is a non-issue.

Where does it say that?

I have had a S7 and GearVR since last year, and I will jump at the chance to do it without using my phone or buying a new S7.

> VR is just as dead as computers are to me.

Then why are you not only reading, but posting on slashdot?

Apple has made billions by doing what has already been done only better. That all it will take to be at least a marginal winner.

Even slashdot, by the nature of AC posts vs logged-in posts, has shown that when people feel anonymous they are more likely to be assholes. It would be fine with me if Real Names were optional, but I was able to completely block anyone not using theirs.
