If my uncle bought a painting in U.S. and ask my talented cousin to replicate the painting. After that, my uncle bring the replicated painting from U.S. to England through airplane. The airplane sold a ticket to my uncle, so he has the right to travel and carry whatever with him. And when my uncle get caught in England, the law will fine the airline company? I guess Internet is really a strange place.

If Microsoft release XBOX os for free, so anyone can turn their PC into XBOX, wouldn't that be a simple solution?

I think cities should install moving highway. I always believe a moving highway is always going to be more energy efficient than thousands of moving cars.

I am a programmer. There are different skilled level of programmer. Let me break it down, then you can think of a way to identify them during interview. 1. Programmer who can solve simple problems. 2. Programmer who can solve hard problems. 3. Programmer who can solve very hard problems. 4.

Programmer who acknowledge the root of the problem and brave enough to determine that the root problem must be solved. 6. Programmer who acknowledge the root of the problem, brave enough to determine that the root problem must be solved, and smart enough to know what the solution is. 7. Programmer who acknowledge the root of the problem, brave enough to determine that the root problem must be solved, smart enough to know what the solution is, and hard work enough to actually solve the problem for the good of the company. You just need to find a way to identify these different type of programmer.

I think Government / User should start thinking Internet as "Road" in real life. It should be a government's job to make sure the road is good, and free for everyone (from tax). No private company should dictate how many time you can walk on the "Road" (Internet) and how popular you're (such as Youtube). If that's the case, then New York City should start charging all retail store or company that attract so much tourist into Manhattan for the "Road" that they maintains.

Why can't we have multiple reading head spinning media to increase access speed and reduce spinning = reduce energy cost & reduce the chance of damage. For example, instead of a single harddrive arm, we have 2 or 3, same for optical device.

The fall of all gaming phone device is they're missing App Store, the creativity of new game that works on phone platform. After opening up the App store, it allows greater creativity. That means more great game on the phone. Just like how come plam is never a great gaming platform with the stylus, but it works out on the Nintendo DS.

This is exactly my idea about making browser have standard major module. Where user can pick their javascript engine, render engine, and other addon. And all browser provide is a shell that host those information together. Allow user to manage those parts easily. And provides an env where those modules can communicate with each other efficiently. Obviously browser also have to manage these modules, so they don't eat each other, provide a safe env for each module, so that they have enough resource to do their job. And make sure they don't take too much resource to slow down the whole machine ...

There's all kind of problem in browsers. I think the only safe way to browse the web is to create a virtual machine, then run the browser within the virtual machine, so if anything bad happens, just replace the virtual machine, then you're good again. Why can't someone think of a way to built a tiny virtual machine within browser, The virtual machine should only apply functionality that a browser ever needed. Then if anything bad happens, just roll back to the original backup of the virtual machine. It's a like a browser contains a virtual machine that run the browser which contains it.

Why couldn't Pandora invest on a couple of solar panel. Have the solar panel generate power, sell the electricity, and use that money to pay for the music? So we all have endless supply of free music. Problem solved.

I totally agree, I think the next step Google will take is to hire reporters and start their own e-news branch. So they have their own content. They can start hiring all the reporters that are fired from the newspaper company.

I totally agree, but even thou American products can be easily recreated at no cost, but the American product quality is hardly recreated by the Chinese. I haven't seen any Chinese product that has the same quality as the old American products. I think American should open their factories again and compete with Chinese factories. Even the product might costs a little more, but MADE IN USA still give people the impression of higher quality product. And I *LOVE* MADE IN USA high quality product!

I second to that. You cannot check out the real product in-store is a big minus to online-store. And people who buy their stuff online take advantage of BB. I think in the future, Online store should open some "retail" store to "display" product. That way, it's a more fair game. You can go to those "display" store, check out the product. Then purchase online, and they will ship the product to you in 2-3 days. Therefore all the "display" store is a lot smaller, and it could use the rest of the "inventory" space as "display" and be able to display even more variety of products. It's like hybrid model, I would say.
