In this case, privacy means having an appliance that hasn't been hijacked by hackers for a botnet or sabotaged to melt everything in your freezer (just for lulz).
They aren't shutting down Hangouts. They're shutting down the API for 3rd parties that leverage it. If you use the Hangouts app on your phone you're fine.
Isn't that better? Excluding one word in your reply could have made you 100% less of a dick.
Just because the market is flooded with billions of pocket sized "personal computers" that nobody ever does anything interesting with, doesn't mean the core personal computer scene died. It just looks small compared to the legions of pocket computers.
Wha? It was a joke. The Apple II was a competitor to the commodore and atari 8 bit machines, and insults were frequently exchanged between the various groups. I was saying that if he wasn't enjoying himself back in the day, that must be because he was using an apple computer.
Wouldn't it make more sense to make a human sized (or smaller) robot that can walk first, and then scale it up? If human size robots can't reliably stay balanced, why the fuck would I want to crawl inside one that's as big as a school bus?
North Korea's leaders have nothing to gain by nuking anyone. If they did, they would be immediately invaded (probably by China, and US), and the leadership killed or imprisoned. It's the threat of nuking people that causes us to pay them off so they'll stop making people nervous.
the evil scary Russians are haxxoring the election
I don't see why this wouldn't be considered a possibility. The CIA has engineered the leadership nations all over the world to make sure they maintain subservient to US interests. Why wouldn't Russia attempt to gain a favorable outcome from a system which is demonstrably vulnerable to tampering?

Clearly you haven't seen the movie Phantasm.
That noise is terrifying.
Nukes are a "doomsday weapon". You don't win a war with them, unless you want to rule an irradiated wasteland.
I can think of two conspicuous examples that totally disprove this statement.
Of all the appliances to betray me, it's got to be one I like the most.
How about your neighbor's router?

Can't you simply refuse to configure the WiFi? it should remain as a dumb appliance if you don't configure the WiFi.
Or it finds a nice unsecured network to connect to all by itself. Doesn't COMCAST have the ability to turn everyone's home router into public router?
If you have nothing to hide in your refrigerator, then you have nothing to worry about.

Agreed. Been using it nearly everyday since 2011 on my work computer, home computer, tablet, home laptop, and phone. I usually have no issues with it.

This is a ridiculous over thought bond movie gimmick of a threat.

You must have been one of the Apple II kids.

I have no idea what goi means in this context, but are you tell us that it takes 450 people to make a UI look less HTMLish?
Sorry, no. Bernie supporter here. SJWs annoy me. Can you guys just all go be Republicans so we don't have to deal with you on the left?
Why do you think we tested it on Europe first.
Ain't they?

Damn it. I always screw up the punchline. Curse you slashdot and your lack of an edit button.
2 million centuries? Dang, that's like 2,000 kiloyears.
Is there an all-of-the-above option?
That was kind of my point. I guess I shouldn't have put "or worse".
