Unlike RFID, iris scans can't be used to remotely track your movements, and unlike fingerprints they can't be used to identify your presence after the fact. (Well they can but only with your permission. Even good security camera mostly produces pictures that makes identifying faces difficult. It certainly can't take a sharp enough image of your iris from a distance.)
What part of The camera doesn't have playback or audio recording as it was never designed to shoot video is unclear to you? It's a still camera. Someone hacked it into an impractical video camera with no sound. Maybe the sensor will survive being powered for far longer than it was designed to, or maybe it will overheat and be irreparably damaged. It's a cool hack and that is all that it is. Nobody is getting cheated here.
If your website takes ads from Iranian companies and has an interface in Farsi then yes, you should obey the laws of Iran. If you don't like it, then don't do business there.
The single eye with lens has evolved at least twice on Earth (once in vertebrates and once in arthropods) so it seems like the natural option. Still insects have evolved a different solution for vision. The obvious answer to that is that compound eyes are more practical when your head is tiny. I've read somewhere that a mammal style eye on a bee would have to fill its entire head to be useful. A smaller eye would have an aperture only a couple of wavelenghts wide which would render a traditional lens incapable of forming an image.
Some of the more interesting threads on Slashdot are the ones that don't stick to the narrow subject the submitter is promoting.
And yet the worst threads are the ones like these that devolve in a political shitfest. Which is any post that barely touches: Israel, China, the US government, the EU, guns, money, climate, religion, evolution, women, RMS and a handful of other topics that I can't be bothered to dig up from memory. Grow up please.
Either I have been living under a rock or this article is from the future. I have as of today encountered no products using Qi, Powerkiss or Powermat technology. A quick search gives me the impression that wireless charging products are still a rarity. Let's hope that for once a single standard will emerge quickly.

Are you seriously suggesting that invading the sanctity of the body is in the same category as taking a close-up picture of their eyes?

Ethanol is a great idea. Especially diluted to 5%-40% by volume and served in large quantities! Yes. It's Friday again.
Of course not.
if(d){
myfunction();
}
Is much less readable than
if(everythingisinplace){
releasearmyoftrainedattackmonkeys();
}
And by extension evil.
Felix Baumgartner adjusted his scarf and cleaned his horn rimmed glasses before mumbling something about space jumping before it got popular.
Let's all be grownups here and overlook that Freudian typo.
Also like a small child or puppy, the average owner will spam everybody else with updates and pictures until they are sick of it.

Note the past tense. I think GP was talking about the US.
Sure Chrome is worse but only because you have 741 tabs open.

We don't like muffins around here. We want no muffins, no toast, no teacakes, no buns, baps, baguettes or bagels, no croissants, no crumpets, no pancakes, no potato cakes and no hot-cross buns and definitely no smegging flapjacks.

Knowing Apple they'd invent their own standard, call it Skypuppy and claim that Qi is not advanced enough to power their magical appliances.
Brain dead monkeys are expensive.
Luckily, HTC had a spare monkey that they could get for peanuts.
I knew an old chap by the name of McDonald once. If I recall correctly, he had a farm...

Hi Eric. Welcome to Slashdot.
This is actually meant to provide power to their secret datacenter on the moon.
I can live with that, but I hate it when the internet tells me to clean my room and take out the garbage.
Also this.
Funny you should mention that. The majority of obese people I come across happen to be smokers. And here's mention of a study that seems to agree.
Also weight problems and heavy smoking both are more prevalent in schizophrenics.
Is it International Naked Supermodel Day again?
And here I am with nothing to wear for the occasion.
Or Amazon. That no-click shopping patent is just around the corner.
