Then let all who stand accused offer up their own info to refute? I'll not hold my breath. Falsified info is easier to spot than you think, and truth is much stranger than fiction. Forced transparency is better than nothing, when you're living in the dark, like most of us suckers. Let the leaking continue!
I can predict the future of the Windows Phone and of Steve Balmer. Fail + Fail = New M$ CEO for January! I remember when the Zune was going to kill the iPod, and the Kin was going to do something I can't remember now, and Slate, and Vista... need we remind you further?
You sound like my ex-wife. There's a reason for that. Some people have a knack at delivering an informative message. Guess who does not? Seriously, do you think the average person is as stupid as the industry that made the "corn 'sugar'" commercials? Give us some credit before you bash us over the head with a bag of non-GMO corn!? Thanks.
How about this? Just buy less of the kind of corn(and other products) you don't like, and give the stupid public the benefit of the doubt on whether they can choose a product that will not harm them, or just let them alone. We'll all put Monsanto out of the corn business forever, or not.

Keep your 10" Android Tablets off my fairly used Righthaven Once-Secret ACTA Copyright Treaty articles, before I come down on you like a Spring Dynamic Module In Action, Cuz'!
It lacks USB? Other than that, I'll be eying this pad as a possible iPod Touch replacement. The Pod is losing its 'Touch' as the battery starting to show its age(1st gen from 2008), as well as the OS and lame app store nonsense. Android device with SD slot is for me! Storing files on an iPod or iPad is fucking WEAK and endlessly cumbersome, it's just not a proper computing device and the crap store makes it even shittier.
There all better, now back to selling a bunch of repossessed homes that nobody wants, you knuckleheads!
This system is either a black box no one was willing to touch out of fear, or one in which they had no clue as to how important it was... until it died. Should have kept that info on little bits of paper in a binder or something less complicated. It's for you're own good, you ninny.
Stop your whining this INSTANT, young man! Google stepped up and offered $100,000, which is like $12 pounds 50 shillings I think, to help secure the artifacts for the Bletchley Park Museum. And that is NOT fucked up, unless you're talking about the sale in the first place, which is indeed a bit fucked in the head, but then perhaps the collector needs the bucks and the Turning notes are of value.
More to the point; I have the build an Apple I book and will gladly build anyone an Apple I for $50,000! Order now and save BIG!!1!
Makes complete economic sense, to the carriers. The great roll-out of fiber optics was supposed to happen in the 1970s here in California. What happened? The carriers moved so slowly that they could eventually use their copper infrastructure to sell combined services on it. Why ever bother to upgrade when there is no competition and no incentive to upgrade unless you can charge idiotic prices like $200/month for Intertubes alone? Fiber will roll out when wireless carriers move into town and give us more choice. Unless the incumbents reuse our dollars against us in the bribing of public officials, I mean lobbying, to keep out the wireless offerings which they would claim as "unfair competition".
Think about that; your carrier will spend more on defending their turf, than on providing you any more service for a better price... as long as they can pay for government influence, this will be the case.
I don't get angry, I make my carrier give me a better deal, or I start switching around. I'm in central California and pay about $30/month for 6Mb, which is outrageous, but cheaper than the current alternative. I first had Comcrap, and they had to come out and install a brand new coax line into my house, at CONSIDERABLE expense to them, and I own it so there's no "next customer" at this node. After their deals ran out, I switched to the local carrier SureWest, and when their deals ran out and they wanted to charge $180 for the 3 service package (digital phone line, DSL-delivered IP/TV, and Intertubes), I talked them down to $88 for the whole bundle, and didn't even lose any of the four TV channels I bother to watch. *cough* top gear *cough*
DSL/Cable Intertubes are starting to get better in terms of pricing in the US, but not cell phone services. Fucking completely out of line [sic] for lame slow "3G" and an overpriced phone which will be a brick in two years. Even the highly stylized iPhone is a brick waiting to happen without a customer replacable battery and an OS, and soon your data, tied to a closed service and a single vendor. *sniff* *sniff* I smell lock-in.
I could kill a human with a sharpened pencil, or a rolled up magazine. Take your pick? Can't we all just take some sedatives and fly without the fucking strip search performed by the stupidest humans alive; the TSA Security Agents of Shit? Thank you.
Even more funny; the FBI busted the guy who stole plans from Ford to sell to Beijing Automotive. Innovation? And lest we not forget the many attempts to get nuclear info back to mainland China. China is the greatest Me Too country there is... when they get to the moon they're going to have a huge video blackout while they try to come up with "innovative" ways of explaining why there's already an America Flag there.
Neither my daughter or I will ever need to learn Chinese. I guarantee this.
Just the couple of folks still milling around the Oracle offices, the rest of the world is pondering this and Oracle's other missteps... let's face facts, most of the devs you'll ever see are all stuck on Java 4. Newcomers are right to start coding in C, Perl, Python, Assembly, Ruby, Erlang, Go and every other freely available language. Java is being decommissioned and will only be used as a benchmark for how wasteful a particular company is and how much more you can screw them... er, negotiate with them for a much larger salary.
Oh, you use Oracle DB, Solaris, AND Java... $$$^) let me adjust my salary requirements up a few dozen percent! Thank you, One Raging Asshole Called Larry Ellison! Suddenly, I'm charging a SHITLOAD more, while doing nothing more.
If your enterprise depends on Oracle, get ready for paying through the nose again when it's time to hire the Oraclly Inclined.
when they get to the SneakerNet Shut-Down Bill? Thanks! Why aren't the New Tea Partiers stopping the insanity... wait, nevermind. Smells like more government, this MUST be those dang Demo-crats again, tarnations!!(!
Okay, now I've got it receiving the local cell phone signal and using it as a lame Kinetic sensor I can play PacMan on the dash computer using the cell phone as a spacial input device. Where's my $1000!?!?1!?
And what about my new magazine or cushion base explosive devices? WHEN will they outlaw magazines and cushions on aircraft? Think about it, won't you? Thank you.
No, not them. The ones that are against science, technology, and a better way life in our country that their religion points to as the source of all their ills. THOSE assholes. In the US we call them Christians and they are a bunch of fucking wackos who love technology when it's cranking out 8 babies for some horrid barren Jesus Whore, and bibles on every computer, but otherwise will claim it as the work of the devil. In other parts of the world the role of the wacky, asshole Christians are sometimes played by Muslims. Take your pick, both are extreme fuckheads who would gladly use explosive sciences to get their way, then bitch about living in the new stone age.
I hear that! I've been using Google Voice all year long from the iPod Touch-me-in-the-bad-place, via the little Safari Browserlet and it works great. Apple is a fucked in the head as the CEO of Oracle, which indeed stands for One Raging Asshole Called Larry Ellison, but I digress... I've smelled the bad Apple coming and glad I got a first gen iTouch, as the App Store BLOWS as does the performance if you're stupid enough to listen to an MP3 while trying to do anything else. Couple that with an INCONCEIVABLY long load time for a flash device and that spells; No more Apple products for me. My Mac mini's replacement will be a x86 Linux box, thank you for nothing, Steve.:)
Consider yourself lucky! Here in the USandAs we have to put up with corporations getting their way, until something bad happens, then we get consumer protection as an afterthought. In your case, FB is unable to spring new privacy problems, I mean new "features," on you because your government probably has some good protections in place to thwart the FaceBook Corporation from exporting stupidity.

Technically, this means they own the term "fuckface" which is a common synonym for Zuckerberg. So, hat's off to fuckface!
