Some google peeps on stage trying to demo the new Google Play game API for doing match making multiplayer and the service stopped working on them. Then go on to say "network environment here isn't friendly."

that something of relevance from my home state makes it on the front page of slashdot. Gives me hope that something worthwhile can finally come from that side of the state.
Damages they are claiming though come from having to fix the vulnerabilites that let him in in the first place. That and the money spent on the legal bills for embarassing them.
not to mention way better storage options. Plus I built my box almost 2 years ago and still running strong. Most of it was off spare parts I had from prior systems lying around.
My recorder is fine. I cut the cord long ago. But since the line is still active to me having a cable modem this solves the issue of getting a decent antenea in order to get the OTA's. Currently I can just plug my system / TV into the wall and still pickup those said channels as they are broadcast in clearQuam as required under current regulations.
This is just a move that gives me the finger and forces me to put an ugly ass antenea on my roof in order to get semi decent reception as my town of 20k people is at least 50 miles from the nearest broadcast towers which causes all kinds of issues with reception.
Now if they can also encrypt those channels over the same line even though they are free (as i don't need a subscription to get them). Guess i go netflix only and just do the over the interwebs route.
well there goes my HTPC build. For those that like to build their own media centers, dvr's, etc this is utter crap. Of course I can spend $200 to get a tuner card that will accept a M-type cable card but then that is yet another piece of equipment that I have to rent from said cable company.
who wants to bet said FCC people have coushy jobs lined up at some major cable company.
why not 6km away, 10km, etc? That is not that large of an area all things considered. It would be roughly the size of a small town. Who is to say the perp didn't live the next town over or was a nomad of sorts. Yes I know they say it is to possibly locate relatives, but how often would close enough match cause them to accuse said match.
Also who would trust their government to "destroy" the data when they are done with it. Yes they may very well destroy the samples but you can bet your next paycheck that it will stay stored on some backup somewhere for future use.
missing option 4: they take the extra money to pad the bonuses of the executives that will take credit for the ultra successful game and they alone got rid of the pirates. While all the while continuing to charge more, pay the programmers less or more likely the same and work them harder, and create even more day 1 dlc that is already on the disc but want you to pay more for every piece of it.
This is Ubisoft we are talking about, I wouldn't expect anything else.
I disagree. I have a 4g phone and I still have my unlimited plan.
It wasn't until approximately June (I believe) of this year that Verizon was requiring those that were upgrading to a 4g phone and still had their unlimited plans to switch to a new capped data plan. At the time they were also offering the double your data promo of 4GB of data for new 4G lines or upgrades from a non smart phone. So as a result I got to keep my Unlimited data on a shiney new HTC Rezound which finally got its ICS update, while my wife got a 4g phone as well but got stuck with the 4GB per month option.
And then this past month of course they are moving people over to the shared family ripoff plans.
So there was a window in there in which users with older devices could still upgrade at the subsidized rate and still keep their grandfathered in plan.

Enough said. But I totally expect the US Government and other large multi-national corporations to heavily pressure them into ditching this idea.
dude stfu and take your medicine. this spamming is enough
I say we start a pool on how many zero days will be availible by the time it launches or even if we want to be generous, within the first week.
I will start it off with 7

Could just imagine it done wrong and it eventually just smacks into us.
I would say stop approving all of them and revoke the every valid software patent on the books.

They may not turn over a new leaf - but they sure will trademark it - http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/12/10/apple_applies_to_trademark_the_leaf/
All things considered he was fairly accurate on the 2008 election as well. I think he got one state wrong if that as well.
So as far as I know he is 2 for 2.
that happened faster than expected
It was as if a million tech geeks screamed out in horror and were suddenly silenced

December 21, 2012, well if you believe in the Mayans
iOS 6 has also been jailbroken for serveral days now so hacking that really isn't "news"
Hopefully they actually patch something like this, but knowing Verizon, AT&T, etc it won't for at least 6 months

I would be shocked if none have been filed by the end of the month.

At that point if you have a mobile system leaving the office on a regular basis you should have the hard drive encrypted.
