Google plus is about you. Mailing lists are usually about something other then you. If you're happy to let a new friend see all of your old exploits then hey, more power to you. Some people don't. I think the boss or new girlfriend examples are good because people change and mature so she doesn't need to see what you did years ago before you moved on from being an emo teen or drunk college student to having some confidence and common sense. If you can't see this causing issues unlike a mailing list of people with similar interests and goals but next to no personal information then you need to meet more people.
Personally I don't care too much about the difference except between my personal and professional life. I have a separation because I know those I have a professional relationship don't care about my sports, holidays or activities I have planned. I use linkedin and FB for this reason but if G+ makes the separation easy then I'll drop both and move to one platform.
I think you'll find your definition of hacking is not what you think it is The Free Dictionary states:To gain access to (a computer file or network) illegally or without authorization A message stored in a voicemail system is a file stored on a computer somewhere and they gained access without permission.
So what's your definition? Is it because they used such an easy to use password it's not hacking? Does that then mean brute force or the use of a dictionary or simply trying the most common passwords is not hacking? Or is it because it was a phone connecting to the network that makes it no longer hacking? Or maybe it's that they managed to gain access to her phone records without actually having possession of her phone that stops it from being hacking?
If you feel you're going to be wooshed just click on the score and see if the mods have picked it up. I don't see too many funny posts marked as insightful these days
Or maybe just buy the game from a brick and mortar store to save having a copy as it comes on a disk already! Doesn't solve the cap problem either but then you're not using any data to get the initial install! /sarcasm
$50/month for 5Gb? GTFO! That sounds cheap! I live in.au though.
I use 3G on my ipad all the time and you'd be surprised how little you actually use. I bought one last July, use it at work, home and on transport and almost always use 3G (I live 5km from CBD and can't get adsl at home...) and have only just broken 6gb of data. What do you plan to use it for that will use that much data? I guess it's more intense then youtube somehow
Exactly! Because a company that relies on the release of electronics and gadgets should put their lawyers to work on the lines to increase productivy!/sarcasm
Seriously though. How do you think that chasing after geohotz has any real impact on a delay obviously caused by a natural disaster?
Not only were google inhaling, they were jaring it otherwise how could someone prove google sniffed it to start with? If they had no intention to further inhale from the source then why were they storing what they sniffed? If they never had any intention to retrieve the "ass ripping" output then why even walk around sniffing for it?
I don't care if google has an affinity for a bit of sniffing and the bystanders were caught with their pants down but to say google didn't intend to inhale just seems a bit naive to me.
He's never attempted to hide it. I don't think he uses "Sock Puppets" in the tradition sense, I think he just likes having his name show up 15 different ways. It's very odd.
Or maybe he just likes to boost his own ratings from the moderator points he gets in the other accounts. Doesn't seem to be working out so well though
To me it's the in-app purchasing being equal or better that makes it a big deal. Apple are controlling your business and affecting customers that you have that aren't even on the iOS platform just so they can squeeze more money from you. That's got to be abuse of market position if I've ever seen one.
So how's that unemployment level and eu countries going broke doing?
When several countries in europe have unemployment levels around or higher then 20% (France and Spain immediately come to mind) as well as suffering their own economic crisis there is great fear in leaving the jobs you have for fear of not getting another. It doesn't matter how much you have in savings, if you can't get another job you will go broke.
America bashing is fun for us all but Europe is more then just the wealthy countries.
But the difference between cars and evolution is the complete lack of randomness. I don't envisage car makers wandering in and putting their first thought of the day into their cars. "We need an extra X in this"
To me your car analogy shows more an intelligent design as thought was put into the further improvement of the vehicle. I will give credit as for some its good enough, like spore was, but it doesn't follow the randomness of evolution but the interference of a divine hand to help improve the car so it can survive in a changing market.
You're thinking too short sighted. These days I've started to get my magazines through an iPad (like T3 which reviews competing devices) for the convenience of reading and the ease of purchase. If they start restricting magazines for no reason better then "The device they're covering is our competitors device" then I'd hate to see what else they would restrict. When these devices become more and more prevalent I really don't want to see this type of restriction
On a business note surely getting the 30% cut from the magazine purchase and selling the original device that people are viewing these magazines with is enough?
Parent modded troll? He's bang on about extensions being a favour to the community. I'm yet to come across an extension that I've had to pay for so I've always viewed them as people developing to meet a need of their own and then releasing it to the world because maybe someone else could use it. Now yes, $5 isn't much in a developed nation but I'd imagine those that are malicious it won't be much cost to them, if any. If malicious code is installed in an extension to grab cc numbers then I wouldn't think it'd be long before the extension developer can create another account that one of his users will pay for. I'm just not convinced why they're doing this.

Wow. That was so lame I had to lol. Thank you for a good Monday morning /. laugh

I doubt it but I'm sure that Sony are making more then enough from the gamers to subsidize the nice gesture.

Funny how you say that, seeing how even the summary said T-mobile UK. We all love a bit of US bashing but come on now.

Good point. Nokia screwed it up too
It means they're now going to turn their science up to 11!
