They’ve proven that police are just dumb as fuck.

You have both by not having you around, asshole.

I hold back the urge to punch one of my superiors at work when ever I speak to them lately because I realize they wear these.

And there are those of us who think we are talking about The Avengers.

The problem with Google Glass is that had a form factor which limited what could be done. On top of that it was a beta product and you technically needed to be a developer with I think C language knowledge to be allowed to purchase one. Even if you could buy it the device was like $1,000+ because it wasn’t a consumer ready model.

Why must Bruce be in the same room?

That was a case where the seller literally didn’t have the rights to the book. If you search for the title today you’ll find a version that is listed as the Authorized Orwell Edition.

Not the same as what I was referring to. Video games based on licensed IPs, often get taken down from digital game stores because the publisher’s license has ended. What you described with 1984 is someone who shouldn’t be selling the media, having sold it. Sure, it sucks if the title disappeared from your device but maybe that was the only legal resolution?

Licensed titles are different. Unless they’ve done that for non-licensed titles.

That’s a terrible way of doing it.

Remember when the Epic Games Store was so bad that anti-virus software was identifying it as a threat?
