If they are lucky it will turn out like the Swedish brand IKEA. Cheap furniture and stuff which is perfectly adequate for anyone. When they open there doors in new towns, more expensive ones closes their doors. But I doubt Nokia is that smart...

Well like the Swedish company called Ericsson who has been working on technology like this for about or over a year. See Ericsson Labs and https://labs.ericsson.com/developer-community/blog/omg-camera-still for mor information on this.

For those that do not know of Ericsson, they are very large within telecom infrastructure, and if they still do, also owns the Ericsson part in phone manufacturer Sony Ericsson.)

No because then your "business" is drug distribution, and that is illegal. The Pirate Bay does not

• distribute anything else than links (no copyrighted material).
• make a profit (at all, the courts couldn't find any alleged money and they do not distribute copyrighted materials).
• promote copyrighted downloads (they promote free file sharing).

So care to try again?

Seems like your in the wrong "age", there where fears for interference but there are no real evidence that any of todays systems are affected by "normal" devices. Even if they where, the distance between the device and the instruments (most in the ends of the plane) is to far for the electromagnetic waves to do any difference.

Also the air is already filled with radiowaves, which is another proof for the "radio transmitters" thats not allowed.

They do not need any capture device plugged in. All communication to and from the plane are done through the air, which is free for most intelligence agencies to monitor.

It is not just to put the files on an FTP and expect everything to work. It's ridiculous you'd even think it's that easy.

• All PS3s needs to find the files.
• An EU system might not have access to a US file.
• Distributing using mirrors/different locations.
• Storage and uptime.
• The Playstation Store.
• Not allowing a non PS3 system to download files.
• Statistics so they can charge the correct amount and keep track of popularity.

I'd like to see how you get that and 2,5 GB transfer per month! On top of all this the most expensive is always personnel, if you do stuff yourself the cost is zero. Corporations however must always pay a salary, regardless if it is Sony or the distributor/producer who does.

So you have a server where you can decide delivery method of the download and limit to only PS3s for $10?

And how about guarantee of uptime, should you use the same servers in US, EU and Asia?

And then servers, software and people to monitor and serve it?

Aren't all Microsoft products vastly superior to the old one or having a lot of redundant code? On the top of my head, products like Windows ME and Windows Vista.

Microsoft pushes for people to upgrade so they make what they can of it, sometimes their new versions actually stink more than the last one, but why let that stop you?

You say that Apple limits demo-functionality but the only example you give is that they do not allow time-based demos. I have seen plenty of "limited" apps/games so without any proof or facts I cannot believe it.

If the premium functions does not sell well, then it shows that those functions are not wanted and will not sell the product. So, why develop something you on beforehand knows does not sell very well? That is just stupid and very similar to the music industry thinking.

You also blindly compare palmos and the iphone without any regard of what customer base it has. For example the iphone does not have the core "businessman" customer base has palmos has or have had.

You missed the point, typing != able to send an e-mail. And who talks about PCs for $3000? Today a school in the us could probobly get 7-8 computers for that price.

Even better, install a terminal server and use thin clients.

I didn't say that, I said a lot of their sites uses python and get a lot of traffic, one example is code.google.com.

You can read some of it here if you like:

I can honestly say that flash is in most cases the work of the devil. It can create cool stuff but most often it is done badly and the page gets very heavy for some small details, especially ads. The last is also a big reason why it is so popular to block this kind of contents.

Or when hole pages is created in flash just because it is cool when noone would have noticed any difference if you had used css/images besides the effect of slower page and that flash has started.

I'm curious since Google uses a lot of python/javascript combinations. I also recall they have some traffic to their sites...

PHP is nice, but it ain't always perfect.

It is very hard to compare the two since one is an industri and the other one is a webpage which primarily markets itself by speech. Other than that a game, even though it might be a lot of coding behind, contains a lot of reoccurring events. I don't see how the cost could even remotely be linked to the price.
