Of course I recognize the marketing phrase. I was just providing a little context to readers who might not realize that there were technology powerhouse corporations before Apple.

Kodak was developing and patenting new technologies when Steve Jobs' great-grandfather was selling pencils under a bridge.
I thought you sided with
I don't side with. I side against. Against 8chan pedos. Against rape apologists and definitely against anyone who harass women or condone sexual abuse of children. Against #GamerGate.
And definitely against anyone who would shit all over my long-time preferred pastime of video games the way GamerGate has done. More damage has been done to the gaming community in 2014 than in any time since I've been gaming. And sonny, I've got game cartridges that are older than you are. I've got cheetoh crumbs in my couch that are older than you and your fucked up microscopic cadre of sociopaths.
I think you'll be able to get "parts" for your android tablets for as long as you need them.
Yeah, fuck those kids who gotten a new toy
It won't kill you not to play your sociopath simulator for one day, cuck.
For a while there it looked like Kodak's moment had come and gone
Kodak was a dominant technology corporation for over a century. They were dominant through economic downturns, world wars, cultural changes and across industrial sectors. They were one of a handful of the most recognizable brand names of the entire 20th century (they started in 1888). They did business in three centuries.
I'm pretty sure that qualifies as more than a "moment".
To the vast majority of the marketplace? The value is zero.
When you're making a consumer decision, do you ask yourself, "what do the vast majority of people do?"
But it's an iPad Mini 2. I suppose it's a good deal as a gift for grandma.
What is the value of being able to control your own OS?
Keep board games handy. Everyone can play and interact like a real family and your kids won't end up as pedos on 8chan.
These "hackers" just made Christmas a lot less Merry for many children that just got some nice new Christmas presents.
Screw 'em. Take a day off gaming. If they can't find something else fun to do besides play on their XboxOne or PS4 for one single Christmas Day, then you've been a shitty parent. Next thing you know they're gonna start talking about ethics in game journalism and SJWs and then you have to drown them.
Better they learn now that not all gratification is instant, and an online first-person shooter whenever you want it is not a basic human right.
You'll thank me later.
In the end, this is what will get people to switch to e-books, like MP3 locker services were needed for people with big personal collections to switch to cloud streaming. Publishers should jump on this, because e-books offer drastically lower distribution costs and many more opportunities for impulse purchases.
They didn't have the book I wanted:
Of Apple and major movie theaters. Don't watch this movie if it does not appeal to you, but know where to spend your money in future.
The Hobbit just isn't as cinematic a story as LOTR.
They're trying to help you. Because you can't be trusted to click on the thing they want you to.
