"The biggest disadvantage we have is that nobody will touch a Windows phone with a 15 foot barge pole".
Yes, but it's not, in fact, true. I would touch a Windows phone with a 15 foot barge pole... gladly and with some force.
...a brief engagement from the last Golf War...
ahhh... I remember when it use to be a peaceful sport.
In the post Star Was novels it was revealed that Palpatine had clones of himself. His 'essence' fled Endor and moved into a clone.
I have a real problem with that, and I hope that it never finds its way into canon.
It completely devalues the sacrifice Vader/Anakin makes in saving his son.
Clearly this means that children will be 40% less dead when hit...
This can be reduced further, to about 20% dead, by encasing your children in a suit of spongy metal.
Don't you want your children to be safe from the outside world?

Once they do this, it's a small step to streaming in-game advertising.
Are they trying to discourage or encourage piracy?
That's what I thought was going to happen with "Light Peak".
I guess it's going to be yet another format/standard war.
Leaving aside that this looks like a pretty anonymous security desk/ reception area
I take it you didn't watch the entire clip. Jump to near the end and you can see the feed from a different camera. This one covers the actual data centre.
Two: The company knew the aliens existed by previously merely detecting/analyzing the beacon, then they might divert the Nostromo with the intention of picking whatever they find up. It would make sense, even to the subterfuge of planting Ash with extra orders to recover it, and diverting the ship so it picks up the beacon forcing the crew to respond (per their contract to respond to distress calls) allowing the company to get a 'free expedition' out the crew.
Yes, but why redirect a commercial towing vehicle? Why not send a military ship? We know they could have as they sent the Sulaco in Aliens. The derelict wasn't going anywhere. I think your option one is far more likely.
...a bloody massive exoplanet made largely of iron dive-bombing a star.
My friend, I think we have the beginnings of a Hollywood movie here!
