Unfortunately for the real Dr Jack Kruse he was searched, detained, and not allowed to re-board the ship "to err on the side of caution"."

He never gave them permission to repackage it.

He gave them permission when he uploaded/submitted his program to cnet. Just because he didn't read what he was agreeing to doesn't change this.

Not that what they are doing isn't deplorable, but claiming cnet is violating his license is ridiculous when he agreed to their tos/license and they never agreed to his.

Cnet is only bundling their adware with programs uploaded since they started bundling.

I've got a program listed there, its not bundled.

If I upload a new version they are going to bundle it with their crapware.

So I'm not uploading a new version, ever.

They told uploaders what they were going to do with their program, they don't agree to your terms and conditions, you agree to theirs.

Remove your program from their site and go elsewhere.

Who is this for?

With only 4-8gb of flash I can't think of who this is for?

Mid-range consumer desktops/laptops?

Really with such little cache you might as well just add more ram.

Wouldn't even dream of putting one of these in a server. It's a shame linux doesn't have L2ARC support and it would be nice if there was a drop in hardware equivalent.

With the Google Translate API scheduled to become a paid service in December what other Google APIs might be next?"
