will meet you all here again when its Nokias turn

and delivered by people willing to give their life for it (which they likely did.)

sony sells the ps3 at a loss, gambling that game purchases will give profit.
With otheros it was increasingly popular to buy them in bulk and use in clusters, with no game purchases.

Maybe they also ran into licensing issues with the cell chip, if it was used for other than entertainment.

I cut all foods with added sugar (basically all processed stuff) a couple years ago, dont miss it at all now.
The best part is after a couple months off sugar your taste buds seem to wake up and everything else tastes great.

Id just like to point out a flaw in your big picture; the american would eat the gorilla

I support it wholeheartedly, I dont want a society where everything I do has to be filtered through a lawyer in case it infringes on something.
Some people have to change their business model, I support helping them do so but not through laws.

Today your life can be destroyed because you downloaded some string of bits, are we going to support something this ridiculous?

Copyright and a free internet are not compatible.

that wont work, its AC. youll get 1 half period of smarts and then 1 half of stupid.

cant say I feel like giving them money knowing some of it will be spent suing people

the story before this one was "Students Build Life-Sized Trojan Horse For Class Project"

Sure, Ill take some double standards, looks good next to my giant bias.
I dont remember swearing to treat evil crap companies the same as decent ones.

My first thought also, this is a full retreat by sony.
Would have liked to see geohot win in court but he probably didnt want to spend years there, which is understandable...

decent competition?

I think its an excellent way to protest, and very effective since companies dont know if its backed up by other, more skilled individuals.
It isnt going to do any damage but it will make many sonyers nervous about getting hbgaryed.

Besides, what other forms of protest are there on the web? Angry forum posts?

running that browser in a safe environment does matter tho, do you want linux or windows underneath when doing your banking?

You cant educate everyone about everything, the time when the world was that simple has long passed, if it ever existed.
A solution to this is specialized political parties, which are very common in more enlightened parts of the world.

With 2 parties that basically spend their energy tearing down what the other built the previous term, you are screwed.
