Any photos in *your* Instagram feed, Flickr library, etc are not orphaned under the terms of this act as they are explicitly associated with a user account and, in the case of Flickr have one or more of several licenses already attached to them. The article is the usual Register FUD.
No special laws needed for this. If you earn $1 you pay income tax on it in most countries I'm sure. The govt doesn't care what currency you earn in. And capital gains are still capital gains, and thus taxable income, again, no matter the currency.
I've not heard anyone talking up Bitcoin as a means to evade legitimate taxes.
I use GitHub for all of my projects, and for interaction with my clients, and I'm sure many other freelance developers are the same. While some of the projects I work on are set as public (I'll admit I don't usually bother putting any sort of license out there for those projects â" maybe if I wrote something useful I would) most of my projects contain client confidential info and are private. I suspect this is the same for many others.
I don't think this is some sort of slap in the face for Mr Stallman, but that, for most of us, we are just doing our jobs, and GitHub is an amazing tool enabling us to do them. Most developers don't think about Mr Stallman at all.
I'm backing this film, not because I give a damn about him filming on 35mm b/w stock, or because I care what video editing software he uses (he could use iMovie for all iCare), but because I loved the original book, the screenplay was what Harry Harrison and Alex Cox were working on when HH died, and I get a copy of both for US$25, while supporting the whole crowd-sourced film-making concept.
Any Mac can have a Guest account enabled that gets nuked again when the guest logs out. We do this all the time. When a guest arrives without their own machine they are welcome to use the Guest account on the MacMini that's plugged into the TV. We can use the FastUser Switching to flick it back to my, or my wife's account, as needed, without logging the guest out, but when they leave we just log them out and voila - the Guest account is wiped.
Without wishing to seem pedantic, there is no *@gmail.au — if anything it would be *@gmail.com.au but I've never known anyone to have that; only *@gmail.com, or in the UK *@googlemail.co.uk.
âoeWhen new violations are found, Apple requires its suppliers to return the workers back to a school chosen by the family and finance their education. "In addition, the children must continue to receive income matching what they received when they were employed. We also follow up regularly to ensure that the children remain in school and that the suppliers continue to uphold their financial commitment," wrote Apple in its latest report.â
I've travelled all over the world and the state of mobile phone services in the USA is about the worst I have come across, especially for a short-term tourist who just wants a cheap pre-paid SIM with a data plan for their iPhone. Neither AT&T, nor Verizon could offer me a SIM at all claiming I had to buy a locked phone in order to get one, and all t-Mobile could offer me was a very expensive pre-paid SIM with connection to an Edge network only, no 3G or 4G. Compare this to most EU countries where you can buy prepaid SIMs from vending machines that come with 3G and 4G out of the box, or even Cambodia (and indeed most Asian countries) where for about US$10 you can buy a SIM from one of a dozen services as soon as you get off the plane with 2GB of 3G data built in. In Australia it's illegal for a telco to NOT unlock your phone on request, most places will sell you an unlocked phone directly if you like, and as a tourist most airports will sell pre-paid SIMs with 3G and 4G data plans quite cheaply. But in the USofA it's all vendor lock-in, restricted access, crappy coverage and shitty treatment for those of us who like to visit every now and again to visit friends unfortunate enough to live there, and take advantage of the shitty dollar to buy cheap clothes. Land of the free my arse.
This looks to me to be the single most disgusting invention I've ever seen. Surely it's easier to just eat smaller meals rather than gorge, then pump partially digested food out through a pipe through your gut. I guess it tops the Segway as stupidest invention ever.
If this is true, (or even just believed to be true,) then I feel sorry for the forthcoming generations of pandas who'll literally be being hung out to dry by this news. Poor bloody pandas.
I have read of a number of cases now where idiot thieves have stolen someone's iPhone, only to find the cops rock up at their place because the owner has looked up the location using 'find my phone' and reported that to the cops. Typically, in the stories I have read, the cops then find a whole load of other stolen stuff and evidence of further criminal activity. So it begs the question, who would be dumb enough to steal a device that knows where it is and that is capable of sharing that information with its owner? I assume 'droids and 'dows mobiles have an analogous feature.
Simply set your IG feed to Private and voila. No problem. IG / FB will only repost / profit from your public photos. Going private also eliminates that scourge that is IG spam.
Surely the simplest way to defeat this is for systems to only allow three wrong guesses before locking you out of the system. That's why four digit PINs are secure enough for a bank.
What idiot system allows a robot to try brazillions of passwords anyway?
You know you can solve those public transport issues with any number of routing apps right, that plug into the Apple Maps and are maintained by local providers so they are much more likely to be accurate. Google Maps is okay for PT but hardly perfect, and entirely missing from many places. I have a shortcut to Google Maps's mobile web app on my iPhone right next to my Maps app for those times when Maps can't find places (I blame Yelp for that mostly.)
I use a routing plugin called Transit Times+ which covers over 70 cities, including many in Australia (where I live), many in the USA, EU and more. And he's adding to the list all the time. It's a very good app and costs about $2 from memory so hardly going to break the bank. I see no reason to hold off updating to iOS 6 (My wife is also holding out, but she's weirdly neophobic), indeed the FaceTime anywhere ability of iOS 6 is very cool, and the killer app for me for iOS 6 is DND Mode. Now I never get calls between 10pm and 7am unless they are really urgent or from specifically white-listed numbers.
I've had very few problems with Apple's Maps app, in fact I found it absolutely amazing the other day when I was able to match the exact location of a photo we took on an old-style film camera to the exact spot on the roof of a building we took it in Madrid just by twisting and panning around the 3D view of Madrid. It took about 20 minutes and utterly blew me away that I could do that. There is simply no comparison for that, admittedly, limited use case.
The problem I have with Maps is actually Yelp. Here in Australia, and so far this also seems to be true in most of the world I've travelled to that's not the continental USA, no-one uses Yelp. So the location data in Maps is either missing, wrong, or seriously out of date. If Apple had partnered with FourSquare instead then it would be a very different story. Even the smallest little beach-shack in Cambodia is in FourSquare. The shoe-shine guy in Red Square Moscow is in FourSquare. The frakkin' cafe over the road from my house is in FourSquare. But it isn't in Yelp. In Yelp they still show the old Chinese restaurant that hasn't existed for over a year (it's a pub now).
I feel for those 18,000+ workers but the fact is that Twinkies are disgusting and ought not be consumed by anyone ever.
Another purveyor of shit food goes under. That's a victory for common sense.
There is a long list of such companies that need to follow in Hostess' footsteps. Coke and Pepsie. Macdonalds et al, they are all a blight on the general public.
Tellingly Forstall was absent from the last Timnote too. Traditionally he would have been on stage doing his weak Steve Jobs impersonation (seriously it was cringeworthy watching him imitate Jobs' presentation style so slavishly, right down to the pauses, yet so unconvincingly) but there was, thankfully, no sign of him on stage last week.
I look forward to iOS7 and OS X 10.9 with none of that stitched leather crap, wifi syncing that actually works, file versioning that doesn't harass my file system and make dropbox cry when working on files that are held in a dropboxed folder, Calendars that work seamlessly, game center that doesn't look hideous, etc etc.
Also I wonder what this means for the release of the new iTunes. Hopefully when it is released it's nice and clean and stays the hell out of my way when all I want to do is play some music. From the demo Cook gave a month or so ago it has me worried.

Your argument has been well and truly debunked.

They'll just use it to mine Bitcoins I'm sure.

Surely that correlation only exists because belief in a god is a sign you need mental health treatment.
I believe in equality of opportunity rather than an artificial equality of outcomes.
I believe in human obligations not human rights.

Agreed. Peterson was ex Chaosium and knew how to design games. Doom 2 was way better than Doom 3. That game infected my dreams back in the 1990s
