There's no indication that any part of iOS or any app access this data directly. Yes, it may be part of Location Services or..... it might be a vestigial database that was accidentally left in place from earlier revs of iOS when an engineer was doing some testing on the GPS capabilities and forgot to remove it or disable it. Once left in, once it made it into production, it presumably would have been maintained like any other system level database, backed up and carried across to other devices like all the rest.
You're missing the point. While yes, some are AC because they haven't cared enough to create an account, I don't think GP was really attempting to call out GGP to actually provide his info. Rather GP was just highlighting the fact that once information associated with you is made available, it can't really be made unavailable or at least not with any guarantees. And once unencrypted data is in the cloud, you're trusting that the maintainer will not, whether through accident or maliciousness, make your data available to someone to whom you didn't want it to be available.
Don't confuse a specific instance with the general point.
You could go white water rafting, learn an instrument, build a solar car, ride your bike down to the lake, make pot brownies, put up some shelves, skydive, teach a kid how to use Linux, study a new language and literature, go dancing, meet a girl.
Um, calling EVE Online "a little different" from WoW would be like calling your mother "a little different" from a crack addled mugger. One will coddle you and protect you from yourself as long as you let them, the other... not so much.
It's a shame that people are in such a race to hit the finish line in these games that they don't want to stop and smell the roses on the way and enjoy them.
Your Smell does 448 physical damage to Rose. Rose dies. You gain 1022 experience (425 rested).
If what you described went down like this, I'm sure a LOT of people would stop and smell the roses.
How about instead of freezing certain entries, you maintain a head or tip where all of the changes go and where, yes, Palpatine's image can end up where Benedict's should be. But you would also have the option of committing any specific edit. Then, folks who wish can pick which wiki to view, the head or the committed stuff only.
The fun starts when it's time to pick which is the default view.
It's a pity more stores (and more book buyers) aren't in to print-on-demand. The DRM could have been in the book module the stores would receive to do the printing so as to be non-printable until the specified date, thus avoiding all of the costly security precautions, and the final printed product would be a normal book, thus avoiding all of the DRM cautionary tales.
Not to mention all of the usual advantages of print-on-demand (no overstock issues, etc).
Of course, then you miss out on the huge mountain of books that provide not only inventory but advertisement for the book.
Picture this: a consumer walks into Best Buy or wherever and sees 2 identically priced and spec'd machines, 1 running OSX, 1 running XP. What do you think they will choose?
Windows XP, because a) it's probably what they are already running if they have a computer, b) it's probably what the sales folks are used to, c) there has been a bias against Macs in most big box retail outlets in the past, d) they won't (for the time being) see nearly as many software titles for the Mac as they will for Windows sitting on those shelves.
What is RED security clearance and how do I get it?

I'm thinking of a local shop run by the owner charging sensible prices for sensible drinks and a focus on atmosphere and relaxation rather than commerce.
Yes, and TFA is about the "local shop" you describe and how offering the free Wi-Fi was screwing the "atmosphere and relaxation" they were shooting for. As a result, in order to regain the lost "atmosphere and relaxation" they had to institute the policy mentioned.
When I see someone indicate "the kernel crashed without warning", I take it to mean the system seemed to be working fine, with no aberrant or suspicious behavior up until the moment of the crash. I suspect that if sudden and constant hard disk access were noted, or sluggishness of the system, or perhaps seeing odd information appearing in a file listing or somesuch, followed by a kernel panic or somesuch, that would be considered "with warning".
Karma has bitten their asses, and I don't feel sorry at all.
While I agree with your sentiment, I think it will be Nikon that loses here. Photoshop is the digital photo processing tool for professionals, bar none. On the other hand, there are many top notch digital cameras to be had. You will probably find more pros opting not to go with Nikon rather than avoiding Photoshop.
In other words, Adobe isn't likely to come out of this the loser.

It could be an innocent mistake.

Caught in a landslide
Seems like as good a place as any to keep them.

Yeah, but what do I do on day 2?
All the more important to know where the sun is... else you are likely to be eaten by a grue.
Given that Bell's inequality has been violated routinely
Aren't there laws against that?

So say we all.
... will it blend?
I'm pretty sure I wasn't the first to think in reply to your post "What does COBOL have to do this? This isn't a language war."
And they would have gotten away with it too if it hadn't been for you kids!!!

No disagreement with #1. Regarding #2, how many apps out there (particularly major apps) are already using XCode? As opposed to, say, Metrowerks.
That's going to have a big impact too, since MW doesn't appear (to my very limited knowledge) to be planning a fat binary capability.
So... where do I migrate to for violent sex? Canada?

Oh well.
Sounds like Paranoia, the RPG.
This requires RED security clearance.

"Setting your VCR" assumes the content creator made the content available via a publicly and freely accessible medium (over the air broadcast).
"Downloading from BT" assumes the content creator did not make the content available via the medium you are using.
The difference, then, comes down to whether the content creator believes they are receiving due compensation for your viewing of their content.

Sort of.
GCC 4.0.0 can't be all that bad. After all, that's one less Gentoo user I have to listen to go on about how awesome their uber-tweaked system is.
Sure, I'll be happy to send him a piece of your mind on a bill. Perhaps your frontal lobes on a $20? Maybe that will give him a proper message?
