We just won't know how much of a secret this was, until they declassify their documents about what they knew about the place.
It doesn't really matter if it was a secret to the US public. If the Russians knew where it was being made, they could implement plans to dig for more information about it.
This will definitely be a growth area in military industry in the next few years, as all smaller countries scramble to rid themselves of those meddling spy drones. Look for them at the next air warfare exhibition.

Ironically, it looks like we might see this day, since distribution of physical printed material can't be limited and controlled . . . by whoever wants to control it, for whatever reason.
So what if I haul that old, dusty analog TV out of the attic, switch it on and tune it to one of these new applications? What will I see? Strange, weird pulsating patterns? Or garbled snow and fuzzy sounds?
Will I be able to tell the difference between that mess, and usual broadcast television content?
Maybe the old TV can be used as a Lava Lamp effect light? It would be interesting to see how the television circuitry tries to interpret these new application coded signals as television signals.

See, this information that Carrier IQ collects is very useful to the folks where it ends up. It is good for retailers to know if you are ordering something from an iPhone/iPad, so they can adjust the price accordingly.
In this case, up. And they know that you will probably buy more expensive stuff, so they can direct more advertising to you.
All this makes the markets and economy more efficient, so this is good for everybody.

Since Intel and Samsung are the driving forces behind Tizen, a new "open" Linux project for phones and tablets, maybe we will see Tizen running on this processor next year? When I say "open" I mean as in door; full access without jail breaking. Although the details about Tizen are still murky, at best.
Or maybe Mer, the folks who are picking up where Meego left off, could use this. But they need to get a hardware manufacturer on board.
I really wish automobile manufacturers would focus on building quality cars before jumping on the smartphone/tablet bandwagon.
You do realize that you are talking about General Motors, which is owned by the 'guvment for exactly the reason that they can't build quality cars?
And being owned by the government certainly isn't going to help them think about maybe building good cars that people want to buy. Sure, there are some exceptions, but they wouldn't have dug themselves into a bankruptcy hole without bad management and bad cars.
It's like owning a Linux desktop without root, or owning a Windows machine and not being allowed Administrator access.
. . . which is why I bought a Nokia N9 with Meego Linux. Do you want root access? Switch on "Developer Mode", which warns you of the risks, and you must press "Accept".
. . . and this is why I will (hopefully) buy a Tizen device in the future. A post recently to the Tizen mailing list stated something like, "This will be a real Linux distro, where you can do anything, not like Android."
There is no reason to whine, moan and complain that you have to jailbreak Android for root access. This is already well-known, clearly stated and is there for a good reason: not to let dumb-asses screw up their phones.
I prefer the Nokia N9 Meego model, which lets me choose to have root access, but makes me responsible for accepting the consequences.
No, if IBM is deploying this, it means that they have found customers who had WAAAAAAAAY too much money in their hands. And that IBM convinced them that they needed to pay for this technology.
FTFA:
Chang said the company has a similar tracking project with a large U.S. retailer that is focused on produce, but IBM can't disclose the customer's name. IBM is deploying similar systems in Vietnam, Thailand, Norway and elsewhere.
C'mom Slashdot readers in the countries listed above . . . are your pigs tagged? And do you buy pork with pictures . . . ?
So the government passes a law, which prohibits children from using email service. So the children have to write letters the old fashioned way, and send them via the US Postal Service . . . which is owned by the government! No conflict of interest here!
On the good side, being that so many couples tend to have children, a lot of folks might be pissed off at this law. And then they might start putting more political pressure for scrutiny on laws that are being passed by the government to regulate the Internet.
And grandchildren will have an excuse for not writing to their grandparents:
"I wrote to you Grandpa, but you know how the US Post Service is, they tend to lose things . . . "
. . . faced with a life full of incurable, chronic, unbearable pain . . . this "silent death" might seem like a more pleasant option for some folks.
It would seem like an alternative for a doctor forbidden by law from assisting a patient requesting euthanasia. The doctor prescribes the medication and describes the risks. It is the patient's choice to take a lethal amount.
I'm more interested in if the users are satisfied. Or works faster? Or works slower? Or users rate the overall experience as positive? Negative?
A sheer number of workstations migrated is about as useful as a McDonald's "X Billions of Billions Served!" number. Don't tell me how many you served . . . where they eaten . . . ? . . . and how did they taste . . . ?

It sounds to me that someone wants to pump up the RIM stock price with rumors . . . before options or whatever expire at the end of the year.

This seems like the new business model:
