No reason to do anything - it's entered our language now. End of story. It's in Wikipedia, so it's a perfectly cromulent word.

only if we can find the question to 42

Will Back-In-Time work?

I upgraded my 5x86 133 to a full Pentium 133, doubled my RAM from 8 to 16 MB and bought a 2Mb video card instead of a 1Mb. I distinctly remember playing Quake right after the upgrade, looking up and saying to myself "holy shit, those floaty blobs were clouds this whole time!"

And remember the HUGE difference 3DFX and Open GL made for GL Quake? Damn I'm old...

To get rid of a zombie, you have to terminate the parent. So, how do we kill Microsoft?

You can add the Memory Stick to that list. It's not a failure as such, but why did Sony create their own memory media standard when there was already too many options on the market? Same thing goes for the xD-Picture Card of Fujifilm and Olympus.

This is correct. In the late 1990's Sheryl Crow had a song with the lyric Watch out sister/Watch out brother/Watch our children as they kill each other/with a gun they bought at the Wal-Mart discount stores. It was banned and to this day the album isn't available in stores (or online). It is available on their download site here. Go figure. For details on the controversy, see here.

As for the story at hand. I've learned to mostly avoid the App Store and the entire iTunes store. It isn't worth it anymore.

Personally, I think that identifying Windows services as harmful is right on the money...

When your DRM requires you to have a working internet connection for no other reason than the DRM, you're doing something wrong.

Oh yeah.. that's why safedisk exists.

You get NONE of this with a debit card. The only reason a debit card is preferable is if you don't have the self control to spend an amount you can pay off every month

Or if you don't want to pay a fee to have a credit card.
Or if you don't like the terms and conditions.
Or if you care AT ALL about your privacy, and don't want every purchase you ever made in the database of the big three, free for ANYBODY to look up.
Or if you want to ensure that any lucky identity thieves can't do anything to ruin your non-existent credit rating...
Or...

These days it feels like all games are being made within 48-hours.

Tabbed applications are a crutch for those who use broken window managers. This task should not be handled (inevitably in functionally and cosmetically different ways) by applications.
