So what? Someone already bred a low saponin Quinoa that immediately harvested by the birds. Maybe leaving in the natural pesticide that is easy to process is a good idea?
1. Remove the natural pesticide
2. Replace it with Monsanto's pesticide ...
3. Profit!
Tell me how this is any different than what China does, then. You might as well have a Ministry of Truth.
I'll be glad to tell you the difference. In China, the censorship is from the government; this article is referring to private businesses. Clear enough?
In China government is from government, here government is done by private business.
I use almost all google's stuff, and the only place I even notice any ads from them is on the web search page. I don't recall ever seeing a google ad on my android phone.
They were always rolling out new tech slowly. Remember when gmail was invite-only? Once the Pixel early adopter test it out, it'll become available to all...
I think it is a good start, but you also need to be careful that your data doesn't pass through outside networks before getting to your home. For example, when I get a page from slashdot, it may travel around the world and back again to get into my computer. we need ways to keep control of which paths the datas take.
There is a tool that allows you to explore the travel paths. And from the stats that the tool has gathered so far it appears that most of the local/domestic Canadian traffic gets routed through a few very specific points in US. See here:

IX maps has been sending request recently through openmedia.ca asking people to download the tool and submit their stats. The tool is here:

Not sure if anyone is trying to protect from that at all.
Somehow most of local Canadian traffic (including the one between your PC and government sites) goes through US:

Personally, I think there are a lot of things they could do with the iPhone to make it better, but I think it would hurt their bottom line so they don't do it. The iPhone is $700. Why not ship the base unit with 256 GB of storage. They could do it and still remain profitable. Then they would only have 1 option for storage space, and they could differentiate models on things like battery life. Have a thick version with a headphone jack and an extra large batter, and smaller, thinner version with a smaller battery and no headphone jack (since they insist this is what people want).
Why? Overall Slashdot is not bad at all. Lot's of interesting stories. From time to time there's a paid story coming through. It's useful to identify them for what they are.
I think the moral of the story is simpler. The only thing in this article that makes it relevant for the "News for nerds" site is the presence of computers in the story. It's a paid PR article for Apple. The message is that Mac laptops are as valuable as money. Nothing more. Everything else is just fluff to feed the discussion.
Typical example of the way our industry works. While the problem was found with the way of life and the fact that we isolate ourselves from nature. Instead finding the way to bring nature back into our life, the solution is to take this part of nature, put it into a pill form and monetize the hell out of it. What else is new...
In Canada all horses that you see on the streets belong to the Police. I'd say you should just pick that up and mail it over to the police departments!
All this talk about Windows made me rediscover Linux. Tried out latest Mint and was really pleasantly surprised by how well polished the thing is overall. Everything worked right from Live CD. Things that I could never get to work on Ubuntu even a year ago. Bluetooth speaker just connected, Android phone didn't make any components die a quiet death. Skype. All menus are reasonably laid out. Configurations work. Started being productive on it just after two hours of installation/configuration. Breath of fresh air.
With this particular technology, never... but even if it performed identically to flash, you would need a radical shift in computer architecture (both software and hardware) to support such a thing, and it would actually substantially increase complexity rather than decrease it. Memory management would become far more complex, I don't know why you think it wouldn't be needed at all.
You mean identical to RAM? It's already much faster than Flash. Why the hell would memory management become far more complex? Now you have HD/SDD - RAM - L3 - L2 - L1 - CPU Registers. If you take out RAM out of the picture, along with loading, swapping, etc. how would that make it more complicated?
I wonder at what point can we abandon RAM and run things straight from these drives? Fewer layers, no swapping, less components, much simpler OS - no need for memory management. How awesome would that be!
apparently that's the key enterprise sets when you disable telemetry in group policy. the key appears to work on home and pro since it does disable, greys out, the data and usage box. it will also set what ever telemetry setting you have to the lowest one, basic, which it too does on enterprise.

The only problem part in the TV is the microphone if it has one, right?

Fixed that for ya.
And Ecuador is not going to allow its relations with the US to be further degraded by the actual "state actor" here, namely Julian Assange.
You mean their relationships with Goldman Sacks?

The other stuff is for collecting your data.

"What the HELL makes you think this will "no longer happen"?"
Because the shareholders will be $1 billion "poorer".
Only if the revenue from forced upgrades is less than 1 billion. Otherwise 1 billion will be just an investment with a good return.

Are you from the ThinkPad team?
Can we please have a chatbot responding to all the Nigerian princes on gmail?
This is going to wind up calling me on the telephone incessantly. These damn things are already annoying despite failing the Turing test.
Just get your own chatbot to talk to them.
Backend POSTs to you!

It is, it's a 500k CAD reward, which translates to ~380k USD.
And getting lower in USD every day. How convenient.

Here are a few to start with. Doing it on my machine right now: http://www.msfn.org/board/topi...
Exactly! At the price that they originally sold them for - $0.00!
