Careful...I got flamed into oblivion last time I tried to bring the "single point of failure" of Apple's security model. Dissent is not welcome in that house.
Exactly. I won't deal with Apple, but this is good for the unwashed masses in many ways...except one.
One tiny breach of the app store and you could suddenly have millions of zombie/compromised Apple devices out there. But they would all be trusted by everyone. Would Apple admit a breach and destroy the trust they've built?
Won't happen? Dream on. Sometimes a certain lack of trust is good.

Learn any language and learn many languages. Learn SQL, NoSQL and general database design. You will get a good job. It may take a few years, but if you can do these things reasonably well (learn and use languages, use databases), you will always be able to get a job.
My one semester of C++ and networking classes at a junior college has gotten me further than my hoity-toity university Marketing Degree. But it's the fancy university degree that gets me past the HR trash can. So having a degree of any kind will help.
As someone who helps maintain a large inventory of high-end, high-tech equipment I can tell you have not had enough experience in equipment maintenance.
As our machines get more complex in our factory, our maintenance staff gets bigger and more highly paid.
I'm saying that local entities are only responsible to their local constituents. If a local entity is 100% in charge, they can let their section of the road go 100% to ruin if they don't want it there. And everyone else can just go suck eggs because anything else would be socialism!
My county has about 25 miles of an interstate through the northern section where almost NO ONE in the county lives. Maybe 1% of the county population regularly uses that road. If the county residents were suddenly tasked with the cost of the maintenance on that section of interstate our county taxes would probably double. Do you think most people in the county would vote for that? Nope, hardly any of us ever use that road. Goodbye freeway system.
Why the corporations would surely launch their own weather satellites! And they would be very generous in selling you the data, although prices may go up in hurricane season for the gulf states, and winter for the northern states, but it's the free market!
Oh, but if you share that data with someone who didn't pay, the WIAA will sue your ass into oblivion. "Sorry grandma, I can't tell you if a hurricane is about to hit your house. It cost me over $50,000 in lawsuits last time I warned you."
Could the county government handle their own section of a federal highway?
Yes, zipping across the country with your free-market goods in your bootstrap trucking company and...looks like Watosha County decided not to fix those huge potholes in the freeway. You'll have to slow down to 25 mph for the next 50 miles.
Trust me dude, we know how to make women look like they're 20 when they're 40, and how to make them look like 60 when they're 40.
So true. My wife is is a pale-skinned, freckled redhead who ate healthy and never went out in the sun without a hat and sunscreen. Now at age 50 she is often mistaken for a 30 year-old.
Her younger sister, however, spent her life trying to get a tan, ate junk and drank heavily. The younger sister looks like she's hitting 60, but she's only 45.
Take care of yourself and that "live to 150 pill" may actually benefit you. Otherwise, just get used to looking old for a long time.

This technology uses "interferometric modulators", which I cannot hear in anything but Marvin the Martian's voice.
Less weight, less rolling resistance, smaller footprint, I imagine. The bigger wheel lets you roll over more surfaces, bumps, etc.
Get the speed and range up with a price under $4k and you have an awesome commuter vehicle alternative.
Anyone else old enough to remember Nickerson Farms restaurants?
They had something like this in every one.
Most tinfoil hatters are convinced the gov't wants to track their every move. They'll be so upset when they don't find one of these on their car.
Hmmm...BRB, gotta go make some fake GPS trackers to stick on some vehicles...
Yep, pretty much how it works in every corporation. Not gonna increase profit this quarter? Don't do it.

RTFA, How does it work?

Bury the master password in a box. Leave a treasure map in your will.
Might as well make it fun for someone.
Obviously Your machine is poorly configured. My $400 Dell notebook starts Win7 in about 15 seconds.

I'm hoping Samsung patents the bejeesus out of every tiny design element they make from now on, and it bites Apple in the ass down the road.
What goes around comes around.

And if Apple wins this, what happens when they next try to market something that has the same general shape and color of someone else product?
They set a precedent. Hope they can live with it.
You can watch "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" on them?
Agreed. There is still a huge chunk of the US population that lives in areas with slow or no broadband.
The DVD service is all we can and do use.
Well, if you want to make money off your invention, this is the fastest way to do it.
The first real-world, publicly available use of this will be an app that lets you:
1. Take a picture of someone with your smart phone
2. Find naked pictures of this person online

You've never had to do an emergency restore from backup, only to find that the tape has seriously degraded over the past year.
Is Theirry Legault really an "amateur" at this point? I believe he makes plenty of money from this now.
Yeah, screw those 6 billion people who don't have cell phones!
