" Instead of coming up with ridiculous legal arguments to stop people from photographing their cakes, perhaps they should just find better cake designers."
Cake designers are paid hourly minimum wage; dumbf**k lawyers are on retainer. Hiring better cake designers would cost money. Threatening customers with frivolous lawsuits doesn't cost anything except customer goodwill, and since you can't measure that in dollars and chart it in Excel, it's not important.
Re: Horse manure! Without the creator, the public gets nothing
Really? Comparing disaster-time looting with copying music? Your analogy leaves something to be desired. Like... one or more points of congruity with the real world.
For the record, I voted against it, and encouraged my daughter to do the same. And this was before I saw your prior article; I took one look at it and immediately recognized how bad it could be.
There goes any desire I had to buy a Razer gaming mouse.
Hey Razer, get a clue.
- The user may not want to install the synch software on his system. Don't force it. Install the drivers and the local software only. Or have the software be in a local-only mode, your choice.
- If the synch software isn't there (or is disabled), save locally.
- If the user doesn't have an account, pretend he's not connected and save locally.
- If the user has an account but isn't online, save locally.
- Save locally FIRST. THEN check to see if he's enabled the synch, is online, and has an account. If all are true, THEN synchronize.
The online synch should be a feature ADDED TO your peripheral software, not the other way around. If you can't learn that, you need to not be in business.
Please note: I was actually interested in buying a Razer mouse until I read this. (Oh, and I just received a bit of extra disposable income.) Now? Not. (I'm sure I'll find something else to spend it on. When you get down to it, I'm actually pretty happy with my $25 Logitech wireless.)

OMG she has a nose piercing! If she were MY daughter I TOTALLY wouldn't let her do that!
Nice dimples, though.

Tsk. Really, Mike. Get your priorities straight.
