This will lead to web applications that error out and ask the user to turn CORS back on if a request fails.

Copyright does if any of these resources qualifies as an original work of authorship. The use of CORS to control access to web fonts is an intentional example of this.

Getting the warez scene to stop using MPEG-4 ASP video would be like getting the legit publishers to stop using MPEG-2. There's too much of an installed base of hardware that supports decoding the format: DVD players for MPEG-2 and DVD+DivX players for ASP. The legit publishers needed a major format transition, namely from DVD to Blu-ray, to create demand for hardware that decodes AVC.

The user controls this by using browser preferences and browser extensions.

JavaScript: Where each web site has its own user account.

Web browsers are designed to handle the privilege separation in JavaScript the way operating systems handle user accounts. Each origin has its own account, and origins can't access resources associated with a different origin unless the owner of the different origin has opted into sharing the resource (CORS). Ideally, browser publishers treat violations of origin separation as seriously as OS publishers treat violations of user separation.

So how should one become no longer an insider in order to cash out before one dies?

I thought Warcraft, Starcraft, and Minecraft had killed Netcraft.

One issue with SmartScreen is how it treats new releases as false positives. An executable file or installer package that SmartScreen hasn't already seen several dozen times, such as a new release of a Windows application developed by a hobbyist, will get marked as "This file is not commonly downloaded and could harm your computer", and IE makes the user click through two different shapes of alert boxes in order to get any option other than "Delete".

Is there a reason why the entire stack of line-of-business code created for this startup has to consist entirely of "non-open-source projects"?

What's the closest thing to "web standards" for a 3D view in a web application? Both Chrome and Firefox support WebGL on capable video cards, but Microsoft has refused, complaining about "security problems".

Sony's word mark is Clarendon. Coby's is Bookman. There's a difference. The serif on the 'C' in Bookman is angled, while the same serif in Clarendon is vertical. Type COBY != SONY into Bookman and Clarendon to see the difference.

How does the PS3 know in what order the buttons appear so that games know which button number to map to X, which to Square, etc.? For example, a Logitech controller has the buttons in a different order compared to a SteelSeries controller.

Good point. If making a transaction away from Wi-Fi requires a cell phone with a data plan, then good luck paying your cell phone bill in BTC.

Either a lot of big-name games are going to have to come up with controller support at once, or each developer will have to somehow convince each user to buy a $59 controller to play a single $3 game. Besides, people who own an iPhone 4 or a fourth-generation iPod touch are still left out because iOS 7 requires an iPhone 4S or newer or a fifth-generation iPod touch. This means anyone who bought an iPod touch before October of last year will have to buy not only a controller but also another iPod touch. Who will buy a $299 iPod touch to play a $3 game?

Can be increased if you provide photo ID. For comparison, you have to provide photo ID to get a bank account or even to verify a Facebook account without having your own cell phone number that isn't shared with another Facebook user.
