You didn't properly grok my comment

what is the best model to make sure you can benefit the most from that?

So, how much are you going to charge for iMurder?

To clarify, do you think you'll make more money in your life giving it away for free or selling it?

Can't we just assimilate them?

or to rephrase, If your application a valuable is a labor saving or time saving advancement, what is the best model to make sure you can benefit the most from that?

How do you effectively distribute that advancement so that it "rises the tide"? Is a price a valid indicator of value? No, we see these days that free services are much more quickly adopted. Most people judge value by practicality and word of mouth.

If you start extracting value from that service by charging for it, aren't you effectively negating the benefit to society?

Imagine you invented a murder App. (lets call it iMurder) This app replaced the need to murder people, through a complex spanning tree alogirthm that combines social network data and communication and travel restriction protocols (commonly known as SAML) and a fully immersive augmented reality overlay. (compatible with Google Glass)

How much do you charge for this app?

There is no "actually-open" OS that runs on handsets. The military use is obvious.

Apple lost all credibility with me for the reasons listed in the article. Given the motivations of each, which one would you trust more?

This is a great example of exactly the kind of opinion-setting Bruce is talking about. I think it's pretty clear that services like Google are hardly optional in this day in age, especially when it comes to making a living i.e. eating, which brings us right back to the feudalism allegory.

There's nothing to disagree with in the OP's comment or your comment. Because they are just refusing to accept any of the facts of the article. It's pointless to engage you because you will never try to directly refute evidence, but will instead attempt to distract and dramatize. I've seen this rhetorical style a million times; it's very formulaic.

This kind of head-in-the-sand, denial-comment like the OP is exactly the same rhetorical style that Israel used in the Lebanon war on Reddit. Is the OP an actual agent with opinion setting agenda? Does it matter? Our only option is to be aware of common fallacious argument methods, and do our research.

I'm not sure you have a point here. You pretty much reasserted my point with your currency example. Last time I checked, currency isn't a free market.

This is not about entitlement, and destroying value is not a wise thing to do for short term economic gains. I think it's pretty obvious and intuitive that even in CPUs, this kind of design is a failure of imagination and exploitative to the market, both supply and demand.

I couldn't say that it's something to make illegal in this exact execution, but the same actions could be a huge negative PR hit in different circumstances, and it's certainly wasteful and arrogant. The fact that these companies are even doing it shows that it's about time for someone to challenge them in their market. It's a huge market failure sign. Basically, because of Intel's and Tesla's near monopoly, they can do this kind of thing.

What exactly is the motivating factor for an acquired website (especially one acquired by a large successful media company) to care about how you feel with their service?

>large amount of work into scraping those sites

I think this states clearly the founders attitude about data rights. It's the Wild West out there still.

you are not invited to the big data party

anti-feature is just bad engineering, no matter how marketers spin it.

not possible

Ouya has no appeal to anyone but kids and shovelware authors who think they'll make a lot of money making crap games. It's obviously a trial run to knock out bugs and hacks in their distribution system and tighten up the security on their custom ARM hypervisior. Then they'll kill the Ouya, license the hypervisior as their product which they'll be able to sell to a large base of ARM Cortex based device manufacturers as a field tested DRM solution.

At the cost of non-mobile gaming, and since mobile gaming requires several different platforms to support you, it's less profitable and thus will not develop as fast as non-mobile gaming. Just like mobile Apps are a pathetic joke compared to their desktop counterparts.

So what you're saying is now Apple can share in on the decline of console gaming market?

What happens when 50 million people plug in an Apple controller that requires little more investment then buying Apple stuff and plugging it in? You get a bubble market of casual shovelware games that destroy the credibility of the entire concept as a serious contender in the industry. You design a LCD (least common denominator) peripheral with LCD UI and LCD functionality so you can have a huge, market that couldn't care less about your product and can't wait to find an exciting risky alternative. Sounds great for quarterly profits though.

You can lead a horse to metered water but you can't make him put a quarter in the booth.

Yeah, that's just a hidden surprise for you to discover next time you sync, as I unfortunately discovered when it deleted my entire schedule from a corporate Exchange Account. So not only does it apply to your iDevice, it also applies to any accounts that you've linked to the device and conform to the latest generation of CYA extensions for the Enterprise.

Self fulfilling prophecy.

So I guess that's the open part.

You find whois creepy?

Virtualization is a form of process so yes.

Virtualization is a requirement for any kind of serious dynamic infrastructure.

Amazon uses a Wizard-type agent at certain support levels that scans your setup and builds you a report of everything you can save money on and security issues, etc.

Lower your standards and get a job.

For hosting tea parties at my summer home, silly!

is there already a server framework?

maybe if enough people get sick of losing real money, we will finally be able to put some regulation around ecomerce sites security, privacy and data protection

Shovelware is already a solved problem.

These are basically all the things they need to keep secret to keep leverage over you.

Echos of iPhone competitors...

There's such a huge incentive for these services that are natural monopolies to be adopted by users. What happens when Kindle is the only eBook with a library, Apple is the only hardware with an appstore, or when Windows is the only OS? Stagnation of innovation, which is what these platforms are supposed to be fighting.

I think the root problem is that while the things that these monopolies do are solved problems, they aren't implemented that way...
