"Have you ever tried hunting and pecking on a miniature keyboard that's been crammed onto a smartwatch's tiny display? "

Smartwatch? You young whippersnappers, you don't know what 'tiny' is.
We had Casio Calculator watches in the eighties.
Those had real tiny, real hardware buttons that had to be pushed hard.

And now get off my lawn.

"illegal downloading music, movies and books."

Since I only download TV-series, I'm still a prime candidate for them, good to know.

Ooooook!

Hundred of Bombs have been exploded via cellphones, is it really that more 'modern' if it's done via SIP or Skype?

"STOP THE VIDEO ADS SLASHDOT!"

If you are unable to stop them yourself, you should be on Digg instead.

Doctors give placebos to deathly sick patients all the time for research purposes.
Patients agree beforehand just as FB users and those aren't even (that) sick.

'Must be "stultia gravis" cases'

"Did you mean stultitia gravis? (extreme stupidity). Kinda funny which word you'd misspell when trying to appear superior to the masses."

I was using the Facebook spelling. :-)

First, the day that Facebook let people share their organ donor status, the U.S. saw a 21-fold increase in people registering to be organ donors."

Now they only need a motorcycle.

" Second, they noticed users with chronic conditions had a tendency to search Facebook for advice. "

Must be "stultia gravis" cases

Google prepared to throw away 10 billion dollar to crash said lawsuit.

"Then eBay can become a bank. "

Since July 2007, PayPal has operated across the European Union as a Luxembourg-based bank.

Let's wait what the Asimov family has to say about that stunt.
Some warm, balmy, financial rain coming.

Look who's talking.
Somebody from a 'Killer Brand'.

"Meh, corporations will simply set up mailboxes on Mars, much like they do in Luxembourg or Lichtenstein, ..."

Bullshit. I'm from Luxembourg and those companies have real offices here, they're just here because for the moment they profit from the low VAT of 15% here because of the current EU law, next year they will move on, when customers will have to pay the VAT to their local governments.

We can actually go to the Paypal Bank Offices and raise hell if there's a problem. :-)

Lichtenstein is something else entirely, there it's the foundation laws.

"Unlike the EU that closes Nuclear plants when the science clearly shows they actually save lives."

Strangely enough, the Germans had so much solar and wind power without the nukes, that they exported it to countries for so low a price (sometimes for free) that those countries had to shut down reactors too. Especially the Swiss were not amused.

And the 'saving lives' part I will believe when the ashes are cooled down in 200.000 years without hurting anybody.
And if the sites and the guards will have been paid by the energy companies for those 200.000 years.

Everything working OK, only the 'phone' part sucking?

No thanks.
