I don't understand people wanting this and similar technology in a contact lens, we can already replace our original lenses (for reasons such as cataracts). Forget the contacts.

Let me know when I can get replacement lenses (IOL) with all this and more in it.
It looks to me that you're argument is based on the notion that the two goods A and B have no other cost associated with the production of said goods. Holding on to that, the only thing that separates the two goods must rely on scarcity? (supply and demand) to set the price. Even in that case, I am really curious as to how you can justify person A being paid more than person B...? Education? Experience? Being born in the right place? Cared for and raised by already wealthy individuals? Your claim and question that, person A's good is more valuable than person B's, have no bearing on their rate of pay. What is it that allows for one person to be entitled to more than another given the same effort put into it and ignoring the underlying costs which only affect the end price?
I find this terribly interesting and encourage anyone who has thoughts and or an opinion on this matter to reply and help clarify what I'm missing. Obviously I'm missing something because mrlibertarian is describing how things currently work, which the vast majority of the world population seem to agree with.
Sad but true, "An application developed using cross-platform widgets will, at best, work well on one platform, and more usually on no platforms." QFT, but as you mention the underlying philosophies are a stumbling block. Worse when you drop the idiosyncrasies of a given application which the developer makes work on one platform and then trying to replicate that on other platforms/widget sets. I wonder if it would even be possible to dream up a grand unified HIG which could at least try to mitigate the platform differences during the design phase.

So, as you may have seen, earlier this morning at 3AM local time UniquePhones (the team behind iPhoneUnlocking.com, who've claimed to have the second proper iPhone SIM unlock software hack) got a threatening call from AT&T's legal team urging them to not release their software -- or else. Now, we can understand why any smallish business wouldn't exactly want lawyers repping AT&T (and Apple) breathing down their necks for a potentially market-shifting discovery -- which is why the company is now officially holding the release of their SIM unlock solution indefinitely while they assess their legal position. Fair enough, but we still haven't even had a chance to verify their solution does unlock iPhones. However, the interesting (and possibly telling) bit comes up at the end, where apparently UniquePhones is "evaluating what to eventually do with the software should they be legally denied the right to sell it." So here's to hoping that, should UniquePhones not find themselves able to actually sell their software, at very least this method they've discovered gets opened up to the public. After all, there's no reason why everyone shouldn't be able benefit from this knowledge just because one company isn't able to sell it, right?Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments
