Part of the skill of piracy is the ability to find a pirate copy of said game. My guess is that finding those apps is also something that most people don't have.

My guess is that piracy is orders of magnitude lower on the iOS because iOS is targeted at the stereotypical American mom who has no piracy skills, while Android is targeted at the stereotypical Slashdot user who probably has several orders of magnitude of pirating skills more than the stereotypical American mom.

I think a classic book like the Hobbit should be available in classic 2D.

Then again, I can't see most 3D theater experiences.

Are you using their equipment, their network, their bandwidth, their physical space?

Even if the computer is yours, its still their network, bandwidth, and physical space. This means they are bending over backwards to even let you go to personal websites like your bank.

Well, I definitely failed that test, I guess I'm a bot. What do you do now that you wake up and know that you are an AI?

Can someone please explain to me how to read the chat logs? I am confused as to the actual exchange that is going on. Which transcript is the Bot, which is the human and how am I to sync the two parts of the conversation up?

This is how science moves forward. You make a mistake, you think about it, you engineer a solution and then see how badly it blows up. Granted that is over simplified, but without mistakes, missteps, and anomalies we don't move technology forward. Many of the problems we face as a society will not be solved by buying a solution from the local supermarket, they will be solved by a crazy person who believes that the future can be better and has the resources to "waste" working the bugs out of his crazy vision. Its been that way from the dawn of time, and it will be that way 10,000 years from now.

The tear really sells it!

I'm going to call BS. I work for a fortune 500 company, and we still run XP and I would say that 95% run in XP mode instead of classic. And I think that's a low percentage, its probably closer to 99.9%

The idea of a cloud device that had basic computing functionality and relied on a large master computer elsewhere can be found in science fiction dating back to the 60's.
