you're obviously new here and don't understand how patents work while thinking that they still somehow aren't fucked up.

the slide to unlock, rectangular design claim and all that are exactly like that was.

you seen a lot of fatal crashes then? no? so why not trust?

because bennett has found a way to game the submission stage where articles enter.

it's shit.

it's like original content for slashdot. it's shit, barely on topic and offers really nothing new.

yeah but at 25 bucks / year you might just as well get something real...

arducopter + android otg.

pretty cheap and you can build anything you want to it, security etc.

but most importantly have the failsafe mode to not crash down straight like a rock.

it's a pretty easy barrier if enforced on _everyone_.

you see, a supplier wanting to hide something based on "trade secret" or whatever(often used to hide just blatant copying anyways) ? well fuck then they don't sell on one of the biggest markets.

if eu and usa did it at the same time then manufacturers would have no option really - and their suppliers would need to either comply or get out of the business, making the barrier for 3rd parties to start making competing products smaller - not bigger.

pretty sure wasn't taken over by a mobile phone.
to that you could easily build security into... pretty sure it was just regular rc controller. which makes it irresponsible to use over people.(wifi controlled autonomous altitude etc hold device would be much more responsible to use).

it might mean that but it doesn't actually refer to that when people speak, so go drink your beers with rms.

It's not about freedom of speech. It's about giving him money from a "non-profit" for buying adverts for said speech. Money you were giving him by using Mozilla products.

He can say all he wants and shouldn't be persecuted for that but when there's equivalent products for viewing the web available, if you disagree with him then giving him cash kinda matters. More so when he was CEO and presumably getting the biggest cut of the cash.

google tv's biggest problem was exactly that it wasn't android on a box.

this made the decision for anyone nerdy enough to want something like that to buy a box that was an android on a box.. which are cheap and plentiful and then you can play (gyro mouse or wireless mouse or whatever input.. and they are 100x better than any fucking smartTv for games, music, online video and anything..) angry birds or really any android app that doesn't need multitouch.

what they need is just a decent default launcher app for tv use(I'm pretty sure there's several on the google play market already though) and start giving the licenses out so users don't need to jury rig google play services on there themselves...

what you described as was exactly access to being exposured to unfiltered information.

there was an ad over a decade ago from on ISP on finnish television where an elderly woman eagarly described to the postman that she had been to south pole last night and tonight she was going to go to the moon. internet enables virtual travel as far as interaction with people goes, unfiltered information from almost anywhere on the world on a whim.

you're ben, right?

embedded connected devices aren't a fad...
but you know what is a fad? slapping an IoT sticker on things when trying to find startup funding.

that's why the so called reporter/journalist in this case slapped it under that label, because he is a fad seeking ahole incapable of writing actual news or opinion pieces so he mismatches someone else's comments into an opinion piece that ends up being incoherent.

and in those situations a camera or multiple cameras is far superior to a fucking piece of glass with silver.

(if it breaks, take it for fixing, like you would if someone kicked off your real mirror - and unlike popular myth you don't have to drive like an asshole even if everyone else is driving like one so you can take your time to get to the shop..).

maybe switch to something else than ubuntu?

and uh, dropbox and 300k files is going to be shitty no matter what and that really sounds like there's no actual desktop or mobile users syncing to that dropbox which would be the whole point of using dropbox.
