Yup, and as a consequence, Boeing just lost a 5 billion Dollar Brazillian aircraft order to the Swede SAAB.
Well, that's what the articles say anyway. But if the reality is that they just chose the cheapest, best jet then this still makes for good headlines and pushes harder against the NSA to reform so either way it's good.
Exactly, this is not new. Even game designers know about this as it was even highlighted in Batman:Arkham Origins or whatever game. Batman would use some type of audio/sonic based device to pick secure locks and get their codes even though they couldn't be hacked via normal means.
As a trustworthy friend that retired from the FBI also told me, they can find out what's on your hard drive by listening from across the street as well. (I'm assuming they could only get the data you were accessing at the time though)
Is not your library if the vendor can take it from you. You didn't buy, just got a limited permission to play it while the real owner is in good mood, and in their own terms.
This is why I don't "buy" videos from online streaming companies like Vudu or Amazon or iTunes. I either rent it for a small amount (usually Redbox these days) or for the select few I buy the disc so I can watch it anytime or media shift it to whatever format/device of the year it needs to be on.
Sounds like they were taking a que from The Running Man script
[Amber is being introduced to the audience as a special guest 'runner']
Phil Hiton:...Later, she cheated on College exams. Then she had sexual relations with three, sometimes even four men within a single year. Then came Mad Dog Ben Richards, her *Confederate*, her LOVER!
Amber: That's a lie!
Damon Killian: Let's reunite these two lovebirds!
[audience cheers]
Damon Killian: [Amber is sent down to the game zone]
I'd like to see this as an option on hardware. Either have a leveler so if I'm watching a movie I don't have to keep switching the volume to keep from waking the others in the house. An averaged volume so it's all about the same. That or some type of remote headphones like Roku integrated into their remotes.
Typical action movie: normal dialogue, then quiet whispers while hiding behind something (turn it up can't hear), then crash/gunfire/explosion super loud.
Agreed. Looking through a family picture album from the late 1800's I realized my hundreds of GB's of current family pics will likely die with me. There are a ton of family images and a select few family pics may be copied by progeny but unlike their printed counterparts, there are no names or locations on many (and sometimes dates if the exif gets corrupted or overwritten).
So what good is a bunch of pics or videos of long past events except to the person involved? Digital images today, unless meticulously managed and edited do little good for historical purposes like the photo album of yesterday. Especially if those are locked away in some online archive that may or may not be easily accessed if the owner can keep up with format and company changes over the decades they will have them and descendants know where they are.
I've been with Chase for well over a decade. They even invited me in once to change my checking account to one that earned interest. Having said that, their normal checking and savings are fine though they don't like to (but will) setup multiple accounts like other banks do for ease of budgeting. Their managed brokerage accounts don't do very good and they recently cut back on their rewards points with their credit cards.
They fill a role as good as anyone, but not better than anyone else really. I mean, it's a bank. Keep my money for me to use, let me move it around and maybe earn a little interest. I don't have a low enough account to know if their fees for overdraft and such are comparable.
The spec explicitly includes video output now. I know MHL and the like have become almost de facto standards but this will finalise it. Basically you've got all the advantages of the Lightning connector in a standardised design. I liked Lightning when it came out, but score one for universality.
So just save all that work and imcompatibility with Apple devices and use Lightning? Unless there are improvements in this new design over Lightning, then you are just reinventing the wheel.
There will be patent holders on the new design as well.
Saturn, yep. I bought my first new car from them. Their set $1000 markup on each car (calculated from numerous investigative articles I read) paid for nicer salesmen, follow up after the sale, and general overall customer satisfaction services (they sent me cookies and balloons). It was a refreshing change and part of the reason they were so liked by their customers.
Though I must say we have a local Lexus dealership which was pretty close in experience. And I usually will haggle for a hour or two.
Obama comes to mind. His 'accomplishment'? Being not-bush. In 2009, he had only been in office a little more than a year or so.
Not even that. While awarded 8 months into his first term, he was actually nominated 2 weeks after taking office.
Obama was the first U.S. president to receive the award during his first year in office (at eight and a half months, after being nominated less than two weeks in office)
Funny you're so confident about that. You should go back and look at the water landings and ask the survivors if they used their flotation seats or life jackets. Life jackets and flotation seats were added, FAA rules making them mandatory, for a reason. While most of the water landings included fatalities, I'm confident the fatality rate would have been higher without the life jackets.
Or they could, maybe only add them to flights that actually go over any large body of water? Which if you look at the flight paths across most continents, most do not.
I do not share this experience. Typically, when the seat in front of me is pushed back, it collides with my knee-caps, sometimes in a fairly painful manner.
When are they going to do power outlets? I could convince myself to replace each one of my outlets if it had WiFi connectivity and a way to monitor usage and turn it on/off.
A wireless panel usage device would capture individual circuits for whole house monitoring, or for individual plugs, a simple plug in wall wart with pass through outlets. They already have these, it's just likely not as slick or hyped by an ex-Apple employee. Hopefully this type of rethinking common items to make them smarter catches on and makes our houses that much more "intelligent". Not sure I want to rely on a 3rd party service though.
So a small sample. In my company if they did that (large multinational) I would work with 3 people in the cube farm maybe on the same floor, likely not. Then most of my work would be coordinating with a boss in another part of the country and coworkers in 4 other parts followed by trying to get deadlines in before the EU coworkers head out for the day. With as big a company as HP this is not going to help and is nothing more than "I got nothin' else" punt. A power play that will wreak havoc on the numerous 80k+ ! employees that currently telecommute. It's old school thinking.
According to sources familiar with the company's operations, as many as 80,000 employees, and possibly more, were working from home in part because the company didn't have desks for them all within its own buildings."
I hear Alcatel-Lucent has some new space available!
(Alcatel-)Lucent involved in a new massive layoff? It's another 90s revival. The scars never quite healed from starting my career there in the 90s.
I still work there. Amazing that through what seems layoffs continuously since 2001 that we are still around. I guess the cash infusion from merging with Alcatel helped push us along for a few more years. Though from what I know, due to unions and such in the EU, they are overstaffed there but it is very difficult to layoff.
Yes, but in A-L's case, they made the mistake of Carly Fiorina. She did what a lot of companies did, she lent money to her customers to buy Lucent stuff. Alcatel was incredibly blind to buy Lucent. After 3 years at L, Carly gave H-P the kiss of death, her being a serial failure.
It started well before Fiorina. And I was dumbfounded at the idea of it when I started working there. Merging with Alcatel was just a cash infusion for Lucent and now it's back down to the bottom. Who will be the next buyer to keep it going!
The US forest service is also part of the USDA and they actually do stuff like manage the national forests.
I believe he mentioned it should only be funded to a few billion, not the $140B+ it is today. A few billion for food inspection (maybe unless it's paid for via mfg fees), and some for forests. Bump it up to say 40B, there, saved taxpayers 100B. That is no small amount.
You should be aware that the Democrats won the congressional popular vote
I'm unaware of any "congressional popular vote". If you mean taking the simple number of voters per winner, then it's a meaningless statistic due to all the obvious factors.
Iran has already done it. It has built an Intranet like network which connects to outside world through few gateways. The transition of the network users to the new Intranet is being done at the time being and will complete in year.
The main purpose is the:
1- Avoid the internal Iranian traffic to travel over the internet (i.e. unknown countries).
2- To control in/out traffic (deep packet inspection, control access to outsider websites, attack and spying control, allow access to Iran-only websites just from inside Iran, emergency kill switch).
3- Force Iranian organizations to host their website in Iranian data centers.
4- Save traffic costs.
5- Flourish local hosting and cloud business and local peering between ISPs.....
6. Control the ideas/speech of all websites within Iran.
What? Sounds like the submitter has a petty vendetta. Less competition in the market is no cause for hilarity regardless of what you think of the company or it's outgoing CEO. I don't see myself using either, but I know some that have one and love it for their workflows. One size does not fit all and thankfully there are choices and room for numerous players to come and go as we all benefit, even from things we would never use out of need or emotional reasons.
BS. Name one single Android phone that is faster. No benchmark test anywhere legitimate puts ANY phone above the 5s in speed at launch date. All the test scores from all the usual mobile tests came back in favor of iPhone 5s. Every single one. Sure it will be surpassed eventually but to say it was comparatively slow at launch date compared to top Android phones is a flat out fabrication.
Apple would produce just over 5 million iPhone 5S units ahead of the device's launch weekend; if that number's accurate, and Apple sold every single one, it would mean Apple sold roughly 4 million iPhone 5C units in order to reach that 9-million-sold figure for both models.
No. The 9 million number takes into account online orders for phones as well. As their 5s supply ran out, many/most ran to their carriers or Apple's website and ordered it online. It does not [necessarily] mean that 4M 5C's were purchased.

In India; Alcatel makes smartphones for Idea Cellular; and they are quite good. Very rugged; good specs; fairly low cost - $120 for a 5" smartphone.
Wonder if this move is to get eventually swallowed like Nokia - except the CxOs; nobody else benefits.
My understanding is that they have only lent their name to the phones and don't actually have anything to do with them but are made by a 3rd party.
