Ah yes, did he submit a grainy VCR tape that suspiciously skips around after the rest of the contenders slaved away at Funspot? 'Cause if he did, that ain't right ...
This and the previous Sony post really encapsulate its slide from the great consumer electronic company of the 80s to the nefarious Company From Which I'd Buy Nothing of today. It pushes proprietary formats that customers have no interest in, a Portable Blue-Ray player in 2012 and speakers that won't play Pandora because of DRM restrictions. I used to obsess over Sony gadgets, the TVs in the early Bonds were always Sony, their waterproof yellow Walkman with the earbuds was the must have tape player of the 80s ... this Sony needs to go the way of the spyware it put on CDs in 2005.
This violates a number of laws and public policy concerns and this man should be sent directly to jail, no questions asked. There's no way that the American people should countenance this behavior in this day and age. Sporting a "curtains" hair-do in 2011 has no excuse period, end of story.
"And Apple should be able to protect its innovations and intellectual property." Well, how does one go about protecting one's "innovations and intellectual property"? The answer is intellectual property law, of course, which includes patent protections.
But you then go on to say "But it's not okay for a handful of judges and lawyers to dictate the direction of technology." The war should be fought in the marketplace you argue. Your two statements are diametrically opposed and lawmakers have made a decision that, in fact, the appropriate avenue is to have lawyers and judges protect one's IP.
I don't think I've ever watched this video (and I've watched it many, many times) and not been transfixed on it until the end.

The Pinzgauer, hands down, is the coolest way to transport 9 people.
And here I thought all that NBC execs did was sit around and pull their Roots.
What was wrong with just using a Jesusphone?
I'm not sayin' that I was expecting to see a certain picture in this thread ... but I was expecting to see a certain picture in this thread.
Gee, I'm glad Samsung Corporation is really showing the way in this crazy new cellphone world. Back in January of 2007, when Apple was just sitting on its rear, resting on its laurels and introducing the iPhone, Samsung Corporation was releasing a whole slew of those great flip phones ... Did you see how small they were? I still find it nuts that they can put a phone into something so small. And it flips open too! That's just nuts! Thanks Samsung Corporation for your innovation, I have no idea where I'd be without you.
I received the same message, pressed subscribe anyway and it seems to be working right now.

That's kind of harsh, I though "Steppin' Out" pretty much rocked ...
Yeah, this isn't even a thing.
Some of these are unreal, RIP Andy.
Anonymous guy's mom is sure gonna crap her pants when her High School "Most Likely to Become the Matthew Broderick Character in the Movie War Games" has his face torn off, stitched to the exterior of a soccer ball and placed on her front doorstep.

Someone should tell these young gentlemen that the preferred nomenclature is "african-american."
I know what you're thinking. "Did he eat six tootsie rolls or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself.
