Fuck you. The Newton was a HUGE(!!!!!!) loser. You are just too fucking lazy to look it up. I was working in the 90's. I remember this and I'm not going to waste my time learning you easy to find information. FUCK OFF AND DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK.
OT: I wish their was a way to delete my fucking account. This site is a bunch of armchair CTO's who don't know their eye sockets from their assholes.

Actually it was the Newton that made Apple loose so much money. It was never profitable with an average annual loss of 1 billion USD. But if it wasn't for that loss, Steve Jobs would never have been requested to be a consultant at Apple and turn himself into the CEO later.

Two words: Government Regulation.
Once Congress puts a bill forward to deal with this issue, it will be the beginning of the end for this type of behavior. I'm sure Obama will get behind it as well, as it will help the computer market immensely.

> Does that mean from now on, rather than "Copyright © 2013 Kailuo Wang", I have to say Copyright © 2013 my Email address ?
No. You can put in whatever copyright information you wish as long as you are able to be contacted based on that information.
> Does it mean that if someone steal my photo without permission and removed copyright information, other people can just use download it from there and legally use it however they want because they cannot contact me?
Yes.

FTP is perfectly sufficient. Why should they use FTPS instead?

Bank regulation isn't worth the paper it's printed on. The contracts reflect the culture, and if the culture is rotten the benefits will be the same.

Ultralight aviation(1) is available to the masses, but people don't want to replace their cars with them. Why? It is an unsolvable problem, so nobody knows.

Yes.
You've only linked to print advertising and newspapers' declining revenue, i.e printing on dead trees. Printing on paper then selling that paper isn't a requirement for journalism to happen.

Yes, it's called journalism.

Alcatraz was a prison known for tight security, so I am guessing that based on their motto "…your plugins are mine…" the project is just trying to tie all the external projects into one secured location. But I am just guessing.
Others may have more cynical views, though.

Steve Jobs big plan was to sell a computer for under a thousands dollars, given that macs used to cost over two thousand dollars in the "monopoly" years. And it was not only accomplished on the Mac platform when he returned to the company, but also on the mobile platform by releasing a computer less than five-hundred dollars with the iPad accomplishing Bill Gate's vision with Origami(1).
