It is easier to imagine if the b-2 pilot is given a specific target. We don't carpet bomb anymore because our bombs are accurate and we can accurately aim them.
This article doesn't say it but they throw in an iPad with their app when you buy one of their guns. A $500 iPad is an affordable freebie when you are selling a $17,000 weapon.
I can build playlists but it isn't very convenient. You have to drag and drop each song to the phone and then build the playlist from there by adding each song. Or I can build the playlist using the same drag and drop concept and then move the entire playlist at the same time to my phone.
I need to sync to a computer because that's where all my media lives. No iPhone is big enough to hold my library. Plus, that's where my phone backups live since iCloud isn't big enough.
Why make your own website when you can use a free page on Facebook? You don't have to hire a designer or any other internet related things and by default you get an interface that almost every customer is familiar with.
The Global Hawk isn't anywhere close to the size of a 747. A 747-8I is about 4x taller, 4x longer, 4x wider wingspan. It is a big drone but not especially large compared to other aircraft.
Yes, they are networked. In Afghanistan, right now, there is probably a soldier on the ground looking through the Sniper Pod on a B-1 above him/her to help the B-1 take out bad guys.
The problem is that only iPhones know how to handle it. My wife can't view group messages sent from iphones because she doesn't have data on her phone.
You really should double-check your facts before you spot off something that is easily verifiable. Out of 388 wireless routers on Newegg, 14 of them are 54mbps or slower and 121 are 10x or more faster. Newegg makes it difficult to evaluate your IPv6 statement, though. Of the first 3 "featured" wireless routers, 2 mentioned IPv6 support while the third didn't say either way. Searching yielded 4 routers, none of which were the 2 "featured" routers I found that had IPv6 support. Router companies aren't exactly rushing but even a turtle can travel considerable distances given enough time.
I get 15mbps cable internet, the second-lowest tier, out in the boonies. My parents can get 6mbps wireless and they live even more in the boonies than I do. Yes, even in the middle of nowhere the WRT54GL is getting very close to being the bottleneck.
+5? The only way to keep a website from getting hacked is by not connecting it to the internet in the first place. Effort should certainly be put into making it difficult to hack but also making it difficult to gain anything valuable when you are hacked.
Aside from it not being a good idea, why can't a TV station come out with its own TV that only works with that station? Just because there are lots of services that products can access doesn't mean it has to be that way. Glass is the first of its kind, so naturally there is only one service and one device that uses that service. Google will keep them locked together until competitive pressure forces them to change. It seems similar to Apple and the iMessage app. Should Apple be forced to offer iMessage apps for every platform? My point is that just because a product is tied to a single service or vice versa doesn't make it inherently bad.
Google has every right to determine what they sell. How would they go about selling the software and services themselves anyways? The first person shares 50/50 ownership with Google? What's to prevent you from saying that no one else can buy it? You now have 50% control. What if you can't prevent someone else from buying it? Do you no longer own it? Do you share it in equal parts with everybody that bought it? Does Google even partially own it at all? It is ludicrous. It doesn't work like that because it can't.
It is your right to own the physical device. You buy a set of Google Glasses, no one can take that set away from you. You don't own the software that makes it valuable. Let me clarify what I meant by "access to your information". It is not your information. It is Google's algorithms generating information, making it their information unless they agree otherwise. If you don't want them to do this, don't buy one. Just like when you buy a computer with Windows on it, you own the physical device, not the software that makes it work. You can demand all you want but nobody has to listen to you because the information someone else's software generates is not yours.
You paid for it but you were not the one that developed and produced it. Payment does not always transfer ownership. You are free to demand all you want but payment doesn't always mean power.
Speak for yourself. You're probably the asshole that won't put his phone away in the movie theaters. The light of screen itself is a distraction, regardless of what you are using it for.
Actually, an iPad can, in a way, make/receive phone calls. I can use Skype or any number of other VOIP services and on the other end it is no different from any other phone call.
Lets's take your lock analogy farther. If a company could get away with it, it would would sell you a $20 lock and charge you $.10 to lock or unlock your door or perhaps a subscription of only $10/month to operate your lock as often as you'd like. Don't pay? Your lock can no longer unlock. That's what DRM does. It is used not to enforce "no pay, no play" but "no recurring pay, no play". It keeps you paying for access to something you already have.

They have 3 models. Notice the "up to" part?

Because Windows Explorer doesn't support playlists and such.

I got the wingspan wrong but it still isn't anywhere close to a 747.
So it is OK to shoot down a plane just because it doesn't have a person in it?

I guess you could say you win if you get hacked and the hacker(s) still don't gain anything of value.

It is funny because it is the right combination of sad and true.

If they freed it, they would no longer have access to your information. They want it all to themselves.
