It is a running tenet in the entertainment industry that a download equals a lack of a sale. Common sense tells people that an unemployed basement dweller, third worlder who doesn't have a legitimate method to access content, or cheap soul who spends nothing on entertainment are lost causes for a sale.

I wonder to what extent piracy is being cited on tax claims from these guys. Flawed logic could save them heaps a year.

Exactly.

If this was up yesterday before they had the reason why they were pulled we could have had rampant speculation about it being due to these machines being slow as a dog, having unresponsive input devices, or being more expensive than offerings from their competitors. I was prepared to go wildly off topic and say that HP's management interfaces are not only unintuitive, but also backdoored
Once again /. fails at posting news in a timely fashion. I didn't read the article nor the summary, but I'm sure that it contains typos and links to an article that is ad-bait and one should have linked to an article submitted days ago.

People just loved the Flickr redesign.

Root it and put CyanogenMod on it.
That was the first thing I did with my phone. Also, the Verizon S3 is fully loaded with Verizon Crapware, not just the Samsung crapware.

Microsoft, Apple, and even our dear Linux all have had issues with previewing malcrafted images. If seeing this on a patch notes shocks you I'll assume you haven't read many patch notes. TIFF is surprising as that hasn't been a huge attack vector, but I've seen in the hundreds of notes I've read as an IT peon where formats have been an issue. More often it is PDF, EMF, WMF, but TIFF isn't out of the question
It is a file format that is pretty low on the level of requiring correct formatting and is more or less abandoned by its owner, Adobe. I bet their is a grip of EPS exploits out there for Microsoft's viewer, but very few people would open those. Everyone know EPS is "an Adobe" and forward them on to the graphics department.

Any decent output device will have to mean an EFI or APPE device, because pretty much everything else is balls at converting, including the bulk of rips which are old JAWS Short of it is if you don't have a $3000+ RIP upgrade you are going to get garbage if you don't normalize first.

High cost and stagnant development weren't enough?

Now that we have no more perpetual licensing the issue of having to pay for a next release is a non-issue. They still haven't pushed out a compelling feature for my licenses to merit upgrading, however.

You don't have to worry about Aperature trial being venerable in Mavericks. The trial flat out won't even launch. That's the ultimate form of security there.

$299 you mean.

[ as modifier ] relating to or denoting a commodity or product of superior quality and therefore a higher price: premium beers.

When you say you knew that Neo-Geo was expensive I feel as though you were being coy about what premium meant. Neo-Geo was arcade quality games in your home.

I particularly don't like Linus stories that don't portray him as swearing tyrant who is out of touch and preventing Linux from widespread adoption.

Verizon doesn't allow 4G LTE on MVNOs so it doesn't really matter for the purpose of this discussion.
