That section of the EULA has not changed. Here it is from December 2006 with identical language: http://web.archive.org/web/20061206023303/http://www.scei.co.jp/ps3-eula/ps3_eula_en.html. You can debate the pros and cons of such language, but this is not some new sneak totalitarian attack.

I think "Supermassive Black Hole" in fact turned Muse into huge stars. Wait, isn't that what you're talking about?

There's a privacy concern about the digital compass metadata telling someone else what direction you were facing...when they're looking at the picture? Can't you just look at the picture and figure out what direction the photographer was facing?

At one point in time it was rumored that Apple was working on an Atom-powered device or system, and then they bought PA Semi and decided to make their own low-power microprocessor instead. There is no value for Apple to retain Atom support anymore because it has no future at the moment with any product with an Apple logo on it. Hell, they don't support AMD processors, either. But is is dickery? Yeah, it is, but I don't think it's dickery for sheer purpose of dickery.

This means Google is one step closer to being able to tell me where I left my keys the night before.

With a glass touchscreen on an underpowered system, I'm part of their target audience. I want a system like that in my kitchen to use while cooking: displaying the recipes I'm following, streaming video, streaming audio, but with a screen that I don't worry about ruining with splatters or smudges.

Oh, you mean like the nine servers behind the locked door next to me running Windows 2000 Server SP4? The ones that the firm relies on but doesn't want to or can't afford to upgrade/replace? Assholes, truly.

Well, considering that like many businesses that rely on specialized pieces of software to function (mine in particular being a law firm), we have held off on deploying both XP SP3 and not even put thought into Vista because our document management software and change-tracking/metadata scrubbing software are incompatible with anything above XP SP2 for the moment.

We can't keep entirely up to date because it breaks the software my firm relies on, and replacing them isn't an option. From my experience at the law firms I've worked at, they move at one of two speeds: slowly or not at all.
