The recording industry will never receive one more dollar from me. The artist may receive some money from me if they happen to be coming to my city and I go to their show. If music becomes unavailable for free, I will simply use a streaming service.

Well, there ARE some of us using Windows 8 not on a tablet...

Imagine how bad TSA is going to be on your pre-flight screening to go into space!

It's a downward spiral though - with the individual elements feeding off each other. The jobless people and illegal immigrants who are being provided for by the government (which is provided for by the people who work) with money which is therefore not available to be used for other programs. The money, if there is not enough, is then created by the federal reserve, further devaluing the American dollar, which makes it even less likely that minimum wage will be a suitable source of income. However, jobs like McDonalds for instance start employees at $10/hour, which surpasses the federal minimum wage by somewhere around 30%. I lived on minimum wage for many years, and with the help of scholarships and student loans, put myself through school and now make considerably more than what I was making before.

Providing meaningless employment for people is NOT a solution. Where is the incentive to excel at what you do if others reap all the rewards from the fruits of your labors? There ARE jobs out there, the difference between people today and the people of let's say 50 years ago, is that the people of 50 years ago did not have the overabundance of social programs to fall back on in the event of a job loss or some other similar event. They had 2 options - 1: Go find a job (not necessarily the one you want, you may even feel you're "too good" for that job, but you take it) and provide for you and your family; or 2: Don't find a job (and starve).

2 million pre-orders in the first 2 days is disappointing?

Or you could just do it the way you did it before Nina was born...

Think about it this way: You receive heavy narcotics for some supposed chronic pain that you have. But instead of taking the pills, you sell them (this can create quite the residual income for you). Your insurance or medicaid/care pays for the pills, and you also sign a contract with your doctor saying that you will take the medication as prescribed. Selling the pills, or taking them all in one day is a violation of said contract as well as an unnecessary drain on the healthcare system (be it private or government). Currently, the only way to check to see if you are taking them as prescribed, is when you come in to see the doctor, they take your blood and see if there is a level of the drug in your system (easily bypassed by selling all your pills and then saving one for the day of your doctor visit) - this system would negate that process. I think it's a good idea. They're obviously not going to put this in your Ibuprofin 800mg tablets to make sure that you're taking them, this will be for narcotics and possibly anti-psychotic medications to ensure that they are being used properly.
