We'll never jailbreak the iPhone 5. It'll either have government-grade digital locks, or it'll be accompanied by guys in black suits who "don't really exist".
I recently bought a Sony VAIO laptop. I was somewhat surprised to see that Windows 7's license agreement now says "contact the manufacturer and find out their refund policy" rather than "contact the manufacturer for a refund". Not only that, underneath it was a separate agreement from Sony which said, in a nutshell, that it was all or nothing. Looks like somebody got tired of actually having to keep their promises to us nerds.
Green lasers are often used for stargazing, since you can use the visible beam to point out specific stars. I wonder how many of these incidents are accidental hits either by idiots^W people who don't know the difference between a plane and a shooting star or who are honestly pointing out constellations while a plane just happens to fly through? Don't attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity and all that.
Of course, after I hit him with the Employee of the Month act, I'd probably ask for a raise at the very least. No sense in being pleasant if you don't get anything out of it.
Sure, in principle its a bad thing, but I'd be willing to bet that 95% of those people had that exact same information on their Facebook, effectively available to the world anyway.
I think I speak for everyone outside of the US when I say just shut the heck up about how the web is the future of TV until the rest of us can partake of this goodness.
It's a good thing this is coming to court in Canada, and not in the America that already decided that linking to a Torrent is effectively sharing the material yourself.
Is this the same cloud that now magically includes Photoshop and VNC/Remote Desktop like in the Windows Live commercials? If so, can I look forward to cloud-enabled potatoes at the grocery store in the near future?
As far as programming goes, I've managed to teach myself the entire content of the courses I'm taking during my summer breaks and weekends. Admittedly, it is just basic stuff, but I now feel like I'm wasting $10k a year on schooling that I don't really need.
No one said anything about looking like us. "In his image" means being the highest form of life on this planet, possessing the power to both create and destroy on a level far beyond anything else we know of.
For that matter, nothing that I know of in the Bible precludes the existence of life elsewhere, man's arrogant interpretations of it do.
That's exactly what I was wondering. According to Wikipedia, Interpol:
focuses primarily on public safety, terrorism, organized crime, crimes against humanity, environmental crime, genocide, war crimes, piracy, illicit drug production, drug trafficking, weapons smuggling, human trafficking, money laundering, child pornography, white-collar crime, computer crime, intellectual property crime and corruption.
Seems a little below their level, unless it falls under public safety or crimes against humanity?
Israel survives by being the Mouse that Roars. Meanwhile, every Middle Eastern nation has apparently been bugging America to do something about the Iranian menace.
If I were a pessimist, I would make some comment about how this could enable an app to listen in on your thoughts without your knowing, like a keylogger. Then I would probably add something about combining that with the GPS tracking available in most Android phones and possibly include a reference to the Thought Police.
As it is, I welcome our new thought-controlled overlords/underlings?
Heaven forbid someone should use radio waves for transmitting illegal information! Or, even worse, terrorists might call each other! Let's forbid the very mention of phones and radios too!

And the SuperBowl, too.
You still get unlimited data, it just comes slower after a certain point. Sounds reasonable to me, compared to some other plans.

Thank you that I at least have a job doing what I love, and as long as you sign my paycheck, I'll do whatever I am told to do.
In case it's not obvious, I'm of the young-and-idealistic type.
MySpace still had 500 employees?
What does it take to get a government of the people, for the people, and by the people in today's world?
I'd go for a vuvuzela on mine.

In Soviet Russia, YOU spy on the American gov't!
This version of the joke is the most chillingly accurate I've ever seen.

the reasons for the decision are a mystery
Sudden outbreak of common sense was too far-fetched? It's none of their business if I jailbreak my phone.

Oh, it's not that bad. We have better donuts up here. And better maple syrup.

The difference between being a realist and a pessimist becomes less every day.
