Dump the TV already. I did.

That only works if you are winning hands down. Once the war comes to homeland, it stops being such fun and profitable experience you all think it is.

Are they trying to shoot down the drone so that they can eat it?

It's obvious where this is heading... mandatory implants and constant surveillance for everyone

I think I can see what the business plan is:

1. 1. Deliberately include features covered by affiliate patent troll's patents in a technology
2. 2. Publish under Apache license 2.0 to give false sense of security and wide adoption
3. 3. Wait for technology to get widespread use
4. 4. Sue!
5. 5. Profit!!! (Split the profits with patent troll)

Ummm let me guess.. PATENTS? Preferably some held by a puppet empty shell company like Nokia, not Microsoft directly?

Public has entered the enlightened stage of not taking _anything_ from Microsoft - open or not. Common sense now says there is or will be a catch to it and anyone who takes it will regret it. That is what happens when people get burned repeatedly. They learn. Astroturf this away if you can :)

Iranian plutonium for North korean nukes? Yay!

IEEE is pretty ridiculous with their choping of the standards into multiple parts that each costs as the whole former standard!

You don't need a database to detect gypsy here, you can tell by the sudden lack of your wallet :)

You can still put it on a flat panel of glass.

Having a single key sure simplifies the NSA backdoor management though. Taxpayers are saving money here!

Nokia is an empty shell, zombie puppet company controlled by Microsoft. They have been running into the ground for some time now. They have no future. They are an asset being spent to push Microsoft agenda.

Is this an attempt by Microsoft to fragment the Raspberry Pi platform?

They already did. It's called Windows 8! Lay back and watch the Embrace phase on the hacker culture. Extend, Exterminate to follow shortly :)
