Wow, really? Better tell that to James Cameron! He'll be pissed to hear that I'm sure, but he's a good, guy, he'll have no problem telling everyone that Titanic 3D actually doesn't work and they can have their money back!

Yes, that's great. Except you went and drank the kool-aid.
You are getting this but with a drastic loss in vertical screen resolution, which is what people are saying sucks.
What is missing from the market that everyone here really wants is a widescreen that actually has a higher resolution than monitors from a few years ago. 768 vertical resolution is absolutely pathetic, and yet, that is what the bulk of people are using. And as others have mentioned, it's not that this is by choice, better options just aren't readily available.

Oh if only our current government had the balls to do this. Historically you'd be spot on.
Unfortunately there's zero chance right now. Bush North, er, I mean Harper, already has us bent over with our pants down for this. He tried forcing through a DMCA style bill through both terms in minority and thankfully failed. He has no such restrictions now however and it is only a matter of time before this happens.

Not only is this dependent on the quality of the sysadmins, it is dependent as well on the policies and actions of those governing any particular cloud. The sysadmins do not create these policies, they merely implement them. Bottom line is that when you put data in a 'cloud', you are trusting the corporation or entity in control of that cloud with your data. Their policies could change at any time. Or the government could do so for them. Or another entity could take ownership and again change the policies involved.

Bottom line is that once your data is on someone else's server, all bets are off. Someone else is in 'possession' of this data, and may choose to do things with this data that you might not agree with.

Heck, never mind seizure, how about willfully providing this information? Twitter is now providing all public posts to the government.

Bottom line, if it's in a cloud, you have zero guarantee as to how that information will be used and who will end up with access to it.

Came here to see if any had posted this. Total rip-off. He was at this point over 4 years ago.

Ehh, nothing a good lick won't fix!
(Having had Geckos, I know that they actually do this quite a bit.)

You're right about the bloodthirsty mob part, but wrong about the rest. It usually requires a bloodthirsty mob to overthrow a violent suppressive regime. Btw, who do you think is in charge of the entire country of Mexico right now anyways?

A revolution is absolutely needed, but it's going to need a lot of help down there.

Given that this went public, the kidnap victim is as good as dead anyways.
