And by the same logic, if you don't want to be mugged on the street you should stay at home.
They are broadcasting this information either through ignorance or by their own will, they are making this information available to the public. So to bring the use of theft as a comparison back to relevancy, the question I have to ask you is this:
If someone is throwing money out of their window onto a public sidewalk, do you feel the public the right to take that money?
If someone did take the money, do you think it would be fair to charge them with theft?
Finally, have you ever found money in the street and kept it?
To me, it's the difference of finding a credit card on the street and finding cash on the street.
For a Credit Card. This has been authorized for use for specific individual(s) and to use this item, a person must intentionally misrepresent themselves knowing that if they were to present their real identity, they would be denied access. i.e. encrypted wireless communication.
For cash. Something that everyone is authorized to use. I see no problem. i.e. unencrypted wireless communication.
Some research has shown that caffeine intake can also affect our fluid balance. In one study, 12 caffeine consumers were told to abstain from caffeine for five days and were then given 642 mg of caffeine in the form of coffee. Their urine output increased when given the caffeine. Another study done on eight men tested the effect of 45, 90, 180, or 360 mg of caffeine on urine volume. An increase in urine volume was seen only at the 360-mg dose of caffeine. One limitation to these studies is that they did not evaluate the impact of caffeine when consumed on a regular basis. A onetime dose may affect the body differently than daily consumption.
Back in 1928, caffeine was shown to have no significant impact on urinary output. Subsequent studies have shown that caffeine-containing beverages did not impact urinary output any differently than other beverages. Based on this, the Institute of Medicine recommends that "unless additional evidence becomes available indicating cumulative total water deficits in individuals with habitual intakes of significant amounts of caffeine, caffeinated beverages appear to contribute to the daily total water intake similar to that contributed by noncaffeinated beverages."
My bad.
So while cumulative water loss over an extended period of time is no different, it appears that caffeine after abstinence does have an effect in the short term as supported in this study and in the anecdotal comments.
Yes, people should definitely secure their communications.
That said, just because someone leaves their door open, doesn't mean Google should waltz right in.
On the opposite side though, they are broadcasting that information to the public in clear form.
To use another analogy:
What if the noisy neighbor got into shouting matches with another tenant in their apartment and you, unfortunately, became aware of some very personal details? Are you to blame for having those very personal details burned into your memory? Are you to blame for having ears and not being deaf?
If you actually did sneak into their house and listened while they had a private conversation, then yes. you would be right but this is more along the lines of a noisy neighbor.

We'll have "personal docking stations" in the cubicles and those will have larger screens, and storage devices, optical drives, and faster processors for graphics and applications. Why, with your brand new PDS, you won't even miss your PC.

- Provide a docking system that allows the device to use larger displays and sound system - Capitalize on the lack of space restrictions that a portable device is limited to and boost wireless capabilities - Partner with a wireless provider for the car's wireless network access. - Charge a monthly access fee that would probably net them more in the long term then the profit from selling high end entertainment systems - Net more buyers because a small initial outlay plus a subscription is an easier sell than the high end entertainment system

Wait, how did you find out they did all this? Did they tell you up front? If so, then kudos to you for sticking by your principles.
If not, then it just seems to me like you're shooting yourself in the foot by giving more money to bastards who continue to do what some other bastards got caught doing and were forced to stop.

Hey now, you can't "whoosh" and argue at the same time.
"Hedging an argument"?
Argue the point. If proven wrong, make the claim it was all a joke.

There is another stimulating effect of caffeine that the article does not address.
Caffeine is a diuretic.

Launch Successes (s) and Failures (f), 1957–1999
With about a 6%-7% chance of failure of not even making it to the planet, you want to make as few launches as possible and get the most out of each.
Then you have everything that could go wrong during landing. e.g. Beagle 2 and the crater it left in the martian soil.
Yep, thank God NASA is run by actual rocket scientists rather than internet experts.

Everything else? 100% true. Goodbye PCs, Hello PDS's.
But Apple does not provide them.
Not true. They provide "reputable" porn. Which, combined with Jobs justification, is like claiming you're a vegan and still eating seafood.
Bring it into mainstream auto production.

Actually, not true. My understanding of Christianity is that your soul belongs to you.
Cool, that means I can downloaded another soul through a torrent.
