I still think the idea that customers of an infringing product can be liable is completely bonkers.

Valve could strike a deal for a very short exclusivity deal to push Linux. Would PC gamers install Linux/SteamOS to play Call of Duty a few days early? Yes, I bet a lot would.

Skype's change is necessitated by mobile more than just cost.

Because then they can't control the toolset like they do currently. Or anything else, really.

If you think these rules are absurd, you should see the FAA regulations on equipment you can install into private planes. NASA allows new tech into space WAY faster.

Am I crazy, or was the question posted in March of 2013, and not 2012 like the article states?

It might help AFTER the raid, but probably wouldn't help prevent it.

True, but a CEO should know not to send anything in poor taste in email at all. Stuff like this can happen, and not always by accident.

You fire them by telling them you unfortunately can't meet their needs at this time, not by telling them to F off.

True, but the NSA snooping is different than Microsoft employees looking at your pictures to make sure they are "family friendly." I hope.

Whenever I think Microsoft's online offerings look good, I remember this article: http://wmpoweruser.com/watch-what-you-store-on-skydriveyou-m... Of course, the NSA revelations make it hardly matter anyway.

The Origin bundle was entirely for charity, though. Kind of hard to consider it "selling out." AND EA let them post Steam keys for some of the games, even though the whole point of the bundle was to promote Origin. I'm not ha

They're rare enough to be notable, and they promote Linux (usually) and charity. Why not?

I actually run both under wine. LoL runs great, actually. Better than the official OS X client does on my Mac Mini.

All the games have separate Steam keys, too. Sweet!

From what I read: 1) Owner of the house owes a minor amount of taxes. In most of the anecdotes, the homeowners have either no mortgage at all, or otherwise have mostly equity (tiny % of the total value of the home owed). 2) Since the city t

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the chain of custody of evidence. The methods and results of the search are 100% the FBI's responsibility, and they simply can't trust Verizon to do it right. It's the sort of

The law is complex enough that you are certainly not innocent. Piss off the wrong person, and they can search through your recorded history to find SOMETHING to threaten you with. For instance, did you know that absent-mindedly walking towa

Okay, XCode crashes on me about every hour of use or so on my Mac Mini (especially when I leave it and come back). None of my Windows 7 programs have crashed on me in over a month. Btw, once XCode crashes, Apple offers to let me send in a t

I've been using an iPhone (3 different generations) every day for 5 years, and I still type at maybe 30% of the speed I did on my Treo before them... So, I tend to just not type.

Sounds like you'd like the game Smite, then. League of Legends doesn't play like an RTS so much either, though.

Plus, Sony will stand up to a crowd and lie their face off. I wouldn't be surprised if the DRM differences between PS4 and XBox One aren't actually different.

I was wondering why the dates didn't make sense, and why they kept referring to the "Wachowski Brothers" (who are "brothers" no longer). Why reprint a 9 year old article?

This works for games that sold well. For niche stuff, those games can become hard to find just months after release.

Hey, my state is the only one where the highest paid employee is specifically for women's sports. He is not a woman himself, though. Nevada is completely appropriate, though.

Perhaps to try to avoid every headline after the 5/21 event being "XBox will work offline!" instead of whatever Microsoft wants them to focus on.
