They own the intellectual property of the Xbox, but they don't own that specific xbox.

Yeah, I don't really care how any of the console launches go, there'll be more if they suck, there always is and all of the ridiculous fanboy arguing will go on, it always does.

What I do care about though is a company openly falsely claiming copyright infringement just to protect a marketing strategy by controlling…

"If you're going to start pretending you're a member of the press, you've got to be subject to the same embargoes they're currently under."

I Disagree. The thing about embargoes and promises is that in the end, they are all just words. Words that have legal repercussions, especially when committed to paper, sure, but…

these 3 private companies that have the right to freeze, remove and ban any content using their services.

Am I the only one who has noticed the HUGE abuse of the copyright system here? I don't care if it goes away.

They basically admitted their claim is bullshit. The video should immediately be back up. Then, he can take it down if he wants.

A savvy businesswoman who managed to run a successful company in the 1930's? AND find time to fight pirates and go treasure hunting? Now that's just all kinds of sexy.

I don't disagree that it's a nicer way to go than cancer. I was more commenting on the sentence about her insisting on finishing the race like a "true runner." If she died of a head injury that could have been treated, that's pretty sad, and I don't really think it's inspiring - this woman seems like she probably had…

You know, everybody's got to go sometime, and 86 is a nice, high number. She was limber and strong enough to be running all the way to the end. She didn't have any crippling, debilitating diseases that claimed her faculties and left her last years a progressive lessening of whatever she held dear and gave her…

While this guy is probably still at much of a scumbag as he was before it is wonderful that the company are working to embrace diversity now. This is absolutely a win for equality, regardless of intent. While he might still think gay people are icky at least he's learned that being publicly homophobic is just not…

See, being fired for offending white Americans is "consequences to your free speech." Being threatened for offending white Americans is "free speech."

My guess would be that didn't even happen since she was still there at work and if they had a problem with it they would have made her leave. It was only when the backlash started that they piled on as well.

Well, I'd say she's right on the "too soon" party. If someone showed up dressed like a victim of the Boston Massacre from the 1700s, no one would bat an eye.

I don't disagree that she deserves to realize that actions have consequences, but I really am not sure that her actions were such that it would ruin her entire life. Public shaming reverberates for much longer than the few weeks this is going to be in the news, and she's going to have a hard time finding a new job…

Yes. YES. It's like everyone has gone insane.

Besides which, if her costume had made reference to a similar act of violence that did not happen on U.S. soil (or receive saturation-point news coverage for days), I guarantee we would never have heard about this costume debacle.

Thank you! It is totally ridiculous. You would think she committed a felony or something. Even most of the anti-rape-threat people on here seem to think she did something unspeakably awful.

Did she get fired for taking it to work, or did she get fired when the internet shit-storm hit?

Sending rape threats to a woman who has transgressed the social order in some way isn't just awful to her. It's awful to all women because the subtext is 'you bitches better not step out of line either, because you know what will happen to you'.

Halloween is where you dress up of horrible things that scare us, to laugh at them and make them less scary. Of course, there are things that will still be taboo, but there's a lot of subjectivity to it. What this girl is guilty of is not having being aware that the Boston massacre is still too recent, and was taboo…

I am just going with what a person wears (regardless of motivation ie look sexy or provoke a cheap laugh) never warrants threats of violence.

You know, it seems like capslocking the word 'terrorism' is becoming a strong indicator for being a sociopath.
