Optimistic side of the science fiction from the past three decades. Reading comprehension! Star Trek spinoffs, Babylon 5, and countless written works. It's not all doom and gloom! (Also, Alien is 33 years old now, so ha!)
...it's also a pretty ugly logo. I mean, really, whose sense of cuteness is that supposed to play into? I don't think it works in the same way photographic feline appeal does.
I'm actually a tad concerned about that, too—I don't think they quite realise that we're talking about an audience that predominantly grew up on the optimistic side of science fiction from the past three decades, rather than the fifties. It would really suck if the movie series failed to continue because fans felt it the first one was too campy.
Clearly you're from some bizarre bygone era where words like "maintenance" and "responsibility" were not yet considered dirty language. Why stop at disposable culture when you can have disposable infrastructure?
Sad news, everyone: they didn't hack or replace anything. They just posted images on a forum where the Al-Qaeda people had been posting their own images. This is a colossal non-story.
It appears to work now for me on Firefox, but don't bother. The rendering engine couldn't really keep up with the script's demands, and it puts a rather inelegant-looking bar at the bottom of every window. Personally, I'm just going to stick with Google's preview feature.
I weep at the thought of how much server disk space goes into storing these half-hearted spam messages. Slashdot clearly needs some sort of r9k solution.
The story is that this ban is illegal according to a recent Pakistani court ruling, not that they're upset about depictions of Muhammad. After the Danish cartoonist thing, that's kind of old hat.
The funniest thing about a Kinect in a medical environment is that much more powerful and precise 3D tracking cameras are already relatively commonplace for intricate surgeries like hip replacement. These tend to be instruments costing tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars, with code that has actually been verified. (Suffice to say this headline was terrifying until I realised it was just about looking through a picture book.)
...but to answer your question, I find it highly likely that you already know the (flawed) answer.
I believe the point is that GUIs no longer provide an advantage. The first rule of good GUI design is that good interfaces are intuitive—i.e., learning is minimal and discoverability is maximized. There are only a few circumstances under which this rule should be broken, like a safety-critical system where mistakes and assumptions are dangerous.
I've cyber-spoken to many cyber-people in the TFA's "cyber field" and I still can't give you a straight answer.
Maybe we should build a sandboxed subset of the Internet for journalists called CYBER-SPACE that consists of nothing but their organizations' websites and a mountain of child porn. Cyber child porn.

...to laugh silently and sombrely at this comment from only three weeks ago, which is now tragically and frustratingly wrong.
I think that story only needed to be explained once for the history books to have a good handle on it.

Oh my god.
You mean this story is seriously about the State Department posting forum spam?
Truly we have entered a new digital age.
Psyops. It's all about using knowledge and bias as a weapon.

...I think you may have killed it.
It really subtracts from the power of the humour value.
I'm pretty sure only the warrior caste needs to be strong.
Off-handedly, are you a Cardassian?
RTFS much?

nooooooo my generalization's one weakness has been discovered aaaagh we're all gonna diiiiiie
No, the third one is "don't let engineers design the fucking user interface or I'll gut you."
Well, there was this one thing... It looked pretty neat, but I've never heard of anyone who actually had one.

For practicality reasons, an external USB keypad is less convenient than a built-in one.
I'm voting for "Fooglebook," personally.
Don't worry—that's the second rule. :)
