On the way to work in my car, twice in the same song (Space Oddity, because.. ) did the stream glitch and get interrupted like a cassette tape with a very bad crinkle.
So yes _when_ it plays, the quality is more than good enough for the drive to work.
And to start it, I tried "Ok Google, play Space Oddity by David Bowie". Two things happened. Instead of loading up Google Play Music (I have a subscription), it went and found a Youtube track (this is a regular but random occurrence). Then my bluetooth stereo kicked into "Voice Dial" mode and I had to power cycle it to get things back.
I should install a cassette player in the car. You press play, it effing works.
I do have a CD player, guess it's time to make a few mix discs..
I've only watched the handful of live concert DVD's I bought once, maybe showed a few friends some choice cuts.
Movie DVDs? Save your money. There are so many interesting sources of entertainment now, life is too short to watch the same movie twice. Just wait for the retread - you know - the one where they add a Spiderman role to it.
There's a meme for someone, insert Spiderman into all sorts of unlikely retreads!
With this "new world" we've found ourselves, how many other software packages we let autoupdate have government ordered spyware installed in them?
Oracle has sure been pushing out a lot of Java updates, how do we know we can trust them? They may be under a national security order not to talk about any "special features"...
The verse of the coldplay one matches the chorus of the Satriani one extremely well. Too well to be a coincidence.
Key change? Irrelevant.
Tempo? Irrelevant, although they are almost exactly the same anyways.
Melody? Almost bang on, both in the notes, and also in the duration of said notes.
We'll likely never know if Coldplay meant to copy Satriani or not, but it's way too close for comfort.
Techdirt has not posted any stories submitted by gordwait.
Antitrust? How many platforms is Fortnight available on?
PC, Mac, PlayStation, Xbox, Android, iOS, any others?
I have zero interest in who "wins" this but claiming monopoly is ridiculous..
Quality? Not from my streaming service..

Re: It's official
You beat me to it.
My favourite failure mode?
Lightning strikes.
Let's see your super thin carbon nanotube rope cut right through a thunderhead without frying.
Harvesting electical power from clouds is an obvious thing, so nobody bother to patent in mkay?
Simple. Don't buy them.

Were they ordered not to speak about it?

Turns out the tinfoil hat gang was right..
Disgruntled admins..
Now that 900 face the axe (gone already or given notice?) I'd bet the morale of the remaining 100 is quite low, with a hefty blend of paranoia.
I bet things go _much_ smoother from here on in..
Oh, and 900 people are probably a little pissed at going down with the Snowden ship..
The melody is extremely close.
