This is a good little video about how they got to the point they're at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQ58noGoBm4

BB being able to protect itself from the big players is actually a success story of patents. The 800 lb gorilla's of the industry never made as good of a keyboard, but if they could have copied BB's superior design, they would have stomped them in a heartbeat.

There's a lot of shit about what happens for a dying company and selling patents and so forth that absolutely is scummy. Serious discussion needs to happen there, but calling for them to be abolished? That's just naive.

Wait, you can get much faster than hot'n ready? You give a teenager some money, he immediately hands you a pizza. Do those places see you come in the door and just start throwing pizzas in your general direction before you get to the counter?

Well, that's a bit apples and oranges. Local is usually > any corporate chain. And if you care about eating health, maybe avoid fast food of any kind.

In the movie the glasses let the wearer see the truth. This template is often used backwards but it's correct in this case.

The actual fuck are you on about?

I know it's probably difficult to find behind the great firewall but try looking up the Tiananmen Square massacre.

Spoiler: the people standing in front of the tanks are not the ones we refer to as tankies.
