I love that definition... If you failed you weren't doing Agile..
Just because you've produced something working at frequent intervals, doesn't mean the user won't see it as "disorganized and never-ending"

Proprietary data formats aren't exactly the problem either. Sure your ASCII text file is readable, and probably always will be. But that doesn't mean 100 years from now you'll be able to understand the format of the ASCII data stored there, or that programs still exist to read it... And that is the issue.
Of course it might be easier to hack an XML file, you still need something to understand the format. Whether it is proprietary, or a standard.

If you are working for a customer, you still need a roadmap, some sort of over design. Your customer needs to know where you are going. You can't just say "we'll give you an iterative version with a new feature or two in two weeks" and say that every two weeks. Because then you'll do exactly what you described, leave the customers and programmers confused. You don't need to design every last thing out, but you still need a roadmap.

I'm not saying I know how to do Agile wrong, but every team I've been on that did "agile" did it wrong, and pretty much every story I heard I can recognize areas that did it wrong. The first team I was on that did "agile" had 30 minutes daily conference room meetings! They are stand up/water cooler meetings for a reason. To keep them short.

Except for what the consumers are already getting. First of all "BIG" data is only worthwhile in BIG chunks. Your 'chunk' of data isn't big enough, just a drop of water in the pail. It isn't really worth money.
But it is worth goods and services. Because that is what they have been offering you for your data. A lot of people claim you are the product not the consumer for Facebook. And yet Facebook is offering you a service, for you be their product. It might not be a service you like or care for, but many people do find a use for it. And they get it for "free," well paying for it with their data.

Well not really. Looking at just mario and sonic. What is really different between the two? Ignore the maps, and levels. The biggest difference is that sonic can speed up in certain scenarios. Other than a few other minor difference (super mario can swim, shoot fireballs, and fly in some games) you could achieve both games using the same engine. Yes, you might have to tweak some of the parameters. But it isn't the engine that sets the two apart, it is the game play and the artwork. Setting, graphics, and writing is definitely gameplay. The fact that mario can fly or swim isn't based on the engine. The fact that sonic can go fast, or explodes into rings when he dies, isn't based on the engine (well the engine has to support his speed)
Just look at the games that come from the same engine, and notice how different the game play is.

They would probably do iris scans first...

Its more about "built in audience" than lack of new ideas. When things like the Iron Man franchise makes a billion dollars, do you wonder why Hollywood tries to remake a success from the past? Or when audiences are screaming for sequels?

Who is the victim? The consumers.

Selling at a loss is not sustainable. Although I think Amazon was doing it more to drive up the sales for ebooks and create a market, than to drive anyone out of the nonexistent market.
When I first looked into ebooks, the books were too expensive. A little while later, they prices started to drop to something I felt was reasonable, that was slightly less then a mass market paperback. Then not long after I bought a Kindle Apple came along, and all of the prices jumped to the same or more as a mass market. Considering I can usually get a mass market for 10% off the suggested retail price. I did not feel like paying a 10% (or more) premium for an ebook. So I stopped buying them from the big 6 publishers.
Of course the publishers are screaming that it costs money to make an ebook. I'm not looking for a free ebook. But if I have a choice between $7.25 for a mass market, or 7.99 for an ebook (or more) I'll just pick up the mass market.

I'm not sure what you mean by "open up a market." If you mean by making me boycott the big 6 and spending my money on independents, then yes I guess they did. But it seems to me that there was a healthy ebook market before Apple got involved... In fact that was WHY Apple got involved and did what they did.

But the GP claimed "a competing business and provide better prices." Except that no one could provide better prices. And of course the publishers liked the deal. (hence the reason they were also part of the collusion lawsuit, until ALL of them decided to settle) It isn't the publishers complaining, it is essentially the consumers.

I would argue that social media is a tool that is obviously different than any other tool. You know, the "pen is mightier than the sword." As a tool, social media is much more powerful than say a screwdriver. And that is why people in control don't like it. The difference is, there is only so much damage one person with a screwdriver can do... But one person with a twitter account can help bring down a government

Absolutely nothing. As copyright law has nothing to say about boards. About the software in the ROM? Again nothing, if you manage to salvage the ROMS, then you aren't making copies of the ROMS.
