Suppose we imagine the following: a large room with a level floor, with no open windows and still air all around. Put the proposed cart down somewhere. From the cart's point of view, there is a prevailing wind of zero no matter what direction you've placed it.
Now the claim is that the cart can go faster than the prevailing wind. So once you place the cart down, it should move on its own. Now just where did it get the energy to do that??!
The guy doesn't even write his dates in ISO standard format. He must think he's posting to the USA Wide Web.
If that's supposed to be the number of bytes on a disk, it must have been a strange-looking creature.
First we factor out 512 bytes per sector. That leaves 2874. Now 2874 has a prime factorization of 3 * 13 * 73. Since those are all prime the best possibility is that you're describing a three-sided floppy with 13 sectors per track and 73 tracks. (Or is that a 73-sided floppy with 13 tracks of 3 sectors? There are only 6 possibilities, none of which make any sense.)
This is what I did because of my Sprint AIRRAVE and Sprint did not waive the monthly fee. They did, however, credit $240 to my account (actually, it's $20 a month for two years) if I agreed to renew my contract.
But yes, assuming they treated them like you and me, I think it would be a great idea. It would give us peace of mind, and decrease cyber crime.
They can do both, and the two goals reinforce each other -- the skills to do both are pretty non-overlapping anyway. For me, the streaming has been a non-starter so far because I run a MythTV media center and own a Wii -- the only place I can use the streaming right now is on my laptop (a Mac), which is not the best movie viewing machine.
This brings me into the market now, and makes me think that when I move out of my current place (the account is in my roommates name) I'll get my own subscription as well. Assuming I'm not a total outlier (not many people will have MythTV, but there are many people with only a Wii, DVD player, and crappy cable box attached to their TV,) this greatly expands the number of people using streaming, and will thus encourage content producers to see that they need to find a good way to monetize streaming video.
Just because this doesn't benefit you directly and in particular, that doesn't mean its not worthwhile, and in this case a rising tide raises all boats.
Well, it's admittedly speculation.
Speculation is a big part of pre-announcements. Look at all the crazy Apple guys and their authentic looking mockups when they have hardly anything to go by. I'd say this article is rather tame by comparison.
Could you have a worse false equivalence?
I was in the U.S., but I don't remember any backlash against Arab-Americans.

Just because the media you watch or read didn't report on it, doesn't mean it didn't happen. Tea party protests where 2,000 people show up get more attention than an anti-war rally in 2003 where 200,000 people showed up.
When iPhone came on board with games, etc, I knew there will be potentially improved products from Nintendo and eventually Sony/Microsoft.
So Nintendo is only innovating their handheld because of competition from the iPhone? What about the Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Advance SP, Game Boy Pocket, Game Boy Light, Game Boy Micro, DS, DS Lite, DSi, DS XL....?
