I'm certainly hoping that you've not pirated any apps that have a server side component. I pay for my servers, and for the bandwidth and drive space associated with it.

Paying customers give me the ability to pay for that. Pirate users of my apps ARE a direct cost to me. If you're one of them, you ARE harming me. If you post anything on a feedback page, or click on my support link, or email me to complain - you're costing me time and money that should be spent on my actual, paying customers.

Overall though, if you never would have paid for it anyways, then why not just do without it? If it's not good enough to pay $0.99 for, then why are you even bothering to download and install it - especially in the knowledge that the cracked version might be carrying something truly nasty along with it?

It's called that, because trying to spell Speculative Fiction would make the brains of the masses explode.

Unless it's about Hockey.

Well, with respect to that last one, don't you have politicians where you live?

Go out. Bah. RealWorld (tm) sucks. Game is locked in hardcore mode, NPC AI is abysmal. Graphics are good though - most realistic skyboxes ever.

No, this is what you get if you sacrifice the wrong colour of goat. Forgetting the entire goat earns you a free visit from Balmer.

Consider the tourist who doesn't speak your language, and is getting on the fly translation of street signs, etc.
Or the dyslexic who is getting the menu he's never been able to cope with before read to him.
Or the blind guy who's using it like a seeing eye dog he doesn't need to feed?

Are you going to punch all of them in the face too?

Just because you're being a glassless-hole, doesn't mean they're interested in recording you.

I've considered getting a pair, but haven't - because they're ugly as hell. As another poster indicated - I too want "Terminator vision". When they are integrated invisibly into the glasses I currently have to wear, I'll go for it, but it will probably be running my own software, with me deciding how much of the feed I want to let out to external translation services etc. (and to be honest, it will probably be talking to the phone in my pocket)

I've got no interest in using a piece of crap quality camera with a lens the size of a sesame seed to record humanity. I have a real camera for that, and you'll know I'm using it because, well, it's a real camera, and if I'm holding it up and pointing it at you, well...

Go check out Vinge's "Rainbows End"

If you can't tell that I'm reading email, or surfing the web while interacting with others, that's a good thing. I don't want things intruding into my presence unless I ask for them though.

Not deadly? Tell that to this guy. http://nypost.com/2013/09/05/man-decapitated-by-remote-controlled-toy-helicopter/

What I find ironic here, is that this is EXACTLY what the patent system is for. Apple invents a new connector, patents it, and keeps it to itself, using it in all it's new devices. Nokia, not being able to use the new connector due to this, complains that Apple should be forced to use the same thing that everyone else sort of is using - and be forced to pay royalties to the USB consortium in the process.

Love it.

Your glass is half empty? Let me top that up for you... You've already finished 1/2 your drink - why would you be sad?

If he's still running with Voodoo cards, he's probably literally rocking - as in he's in a rocking chair...

Only if he too is made from metal.

A few points - Still more energy needed than produced - because lasers aren't 100%. They exceeded the amount of light energy going in, but not the power level fed into the laser. Second, how much of the released energy was in a form that could be fed back in to make the next thingy go moob? Not seeing anything on that here...

Overall though, it's a step in the right direction. Go guys go!
