Did you read the article? The creator says basically the same thing that you just did. They aren't claiming to have invented new technology, they are resurrecting old technology and turning it into an easy to use product.
My psychology professor taught us all how to beat lie detectors, are they going to arrest him too? Sheesh, I'll just tell you what he told us:
1) The polygraph measures a stress response in your body. And the idea is, you are more stressed when you tell a lie.
2) But, everyone is different, so in order to tell what is stressful for you, they need to determine a baseline. So during the polygraph they will ask you some really easy questions, like what is your name.
3) For some physiological reason, if you curl your toes it produces a measurable stress response.
4) So whenever they ask an easy question, curl your toes. They won't be able to get an accurate baseline reading.
No guarantees on whether that will work. He mentioned that a good polygraph operator will be able to tell that you are messing with him, even if he can't tell which answers were lies.
Okay then, "you stole my code" is short for "you stole some of the potential future revenue that I was going to earn from that code".

So you found IE to be unusable and Chrome is a much better option, but somehow Google is still the bad guy of the story.
Most new inventions are "geek-only" at first, so that's not saying much.
Ha, it's the Time Cube rant with random phrases pasted in. I knew there was something familiar about it.
They are different. Is it surprising for one company to spin out more than one language? For a company of their size and age, Google has actually not invented very many. Compare to Microsoft, Apple, Sun, and Adobe who have each created several.
Those of us who know anything about bandwidth and compression and (especially) latency can see the enormous technical obstacles facing a service like this, and Onlive has never done anything to explain how they intend to solve them. Instead, they've done everything they can to lock out independent reviewers with NDAs and closed demonstrations. A friend of mine described it as the gaming equivalent of the perpetual motion scam, and IMO that's spot on (except that Onlive would still have the draconian DRM issues even if it worked perfectly)..
Are you a time traveller from 2 years ago, or is this comment copy-pasted? Anyone (in the US) can try Onlive for free now, there's no more NDAs or closed demonstrations or whatever. Just shut up and go try it. It works fine for many people (including myself), it depends on your network connection of course.
You can have a centralized-server workflow when using a distributed tool. All you have to do is set up an extra server and say "Hey, this is the central server now".
Subversion has some advantages but that's not one of them.
