Or, you know, trivially circumvent it? Compress media, break up URLs? I don't understand how this could possibly be effective.

Pirated content don't have ads though.

I don't know, I think Maeomo / Meego - Nokia N9 was pretty close to ticking all boxes.

Please note that I did mean patents in the above comment. I will let the typo stay though.

My impression is that many parents are just approved by default, letting the courts determine validity... Good for the patent office, great for the lawyers.

Same, fizzbuzz was one of our tests. Nearly everyone messed it up. The telling part was how. We had a guy with 20 years of experience who demanded ample compensation write code that not only didn't compile, but it made little sense. A lot of people were pretty good bullshitters - then after the test they went "Yeah, well... That went bad huh?". We had a different, more difficult test that people could choose. We had one guy who did somewhat poorly on that... But asked to take the assignment home for his own sake. He was a very god hire. Not because he worked overtime or anything but because he cared.

Firefox - Accidentally introduces memory leaks. People flee in droves.

Chrome - Intentionally introduces privacy leaks. People go "eh" end keep using it.

Gotta protect that memory!
