No one argues that current touch-screens would be a replacement for no-look interfaces. But if you can start to introduce tactile feedback mechanisms, there is some incredible potential.
But that's not how it works in the print world, except for a small set of free papers. The vast majority of print periodicals require you to pay (either subscription or newsstand) AND have much of the cost subsidized by advertisers.
The business model for magazine publishes is to collect a certain demographic of readers (which they verify using subscription data) that they can then market as a audience block to advertisers. They have a lot of data about this audience block, including demographics, income levels, and purchasing trends and more.
Kodachrome required very specialized equipment and patented unique chemicals. So much so, that there were only about 25 processing locations in the US at it's hight.
The developer in the article was the last company still processing. They were shipped the last batch of chemicals when Kodak shut down the manufacturing line in 2009.
The "every customer is a criminal" mindset that the grandfather is referring to, is the employees posted at the exit to check receipts and verify that the items the customer is leaving with match the sales record.
Sales taxes are almost exclusively State-level taxes, not Federal.
I'm sticking with VGA

Goodbye, VGA

On both of my HDTVs (different brands, a cheap-o from 3-4 years ago, and a high-quality one this year) I'm using a VGA cable from the DVI out on my computers. Why? Because whenever I use an DVI to HDMI cable, it results in horrendous overscan instead of displaying at the native screen resolution. This means everything is scaled up, even though the monitor resolution is reported correctly to Windows and OSX, leading to horrible image quality. You can somewhat correct this with system display settings, but this still results in scaling up, to scale down, and you can't fully eliminate the blurriness unless you run at native resolution.
On the other hand, if I use VGA, I get native resolution on both TVs and both computers, with no adjusting required. 1920x1080 is well within the specs that VGA cables can support. I guess display port to VGA is not a problem, but I'll be pissed if HDTV manufacturers force HDMI.
Well, if you take away your childish attempt to portray Steve Jobs as Hitler, you'd find that a better comparison is World War I, where a complex spagetti mess of treaties lead all of Europe into war triggered by assassination of a single person.
Except that elected representative had no authority to do so on behalf of the government. It is not within his enumerated powers. Amazon could have told Leiberman to fuck off and would have been completely within their rights.
Anyone as a private citizen could contact Amazon regarding grievances with Amazon's clients. Amazon isn't obligated to do anything about it. Amazon would be required to respond to a subpoena, warrant, or other legally-enforced communication, but answering to a lone US Senator is not required.
A Senator does have the power to make a stink about it, and people have to listen because of his position, but short of a Grand Jury investigation, or pressuring agencies to take action, there's not much he can directly do.
You've hit it exactly on the head, and no-one seems to be mentioning this.
NYT and the other US organizations are protected because of the rights enumerated to US citizens by the constitution. Wikileaks, as a foreign entity, has no such protections guaranteed. In this regards, it is not hypocritical at all.
But I guess its easier to be inflammatory and just say the US government is attacking the free press.
Umm... no... cars today, in inflation-adjusted dollars, cost several thousand more than they did 20 years ago specifically because of increased mandatory safety and environmental equipment.
Just because every manufacturer includes seatbelts in their car, doesn't make seatbelts "essentially zero" cost. What happens is that everyone, as customers, end up paying more.
Why do you think they can sell a brand-new $2000 car in India, but nothing new under $12-13K in the US? Because that cheap Indian car doesn't even come close to meeting US safety requirements.
Its Exchange server is forced to play ball with mobile devices running Android and iOS, instead of pulling a fast one with obscure proprietary protocols.
Actually, the "playing ball" is handled via Microsoft's obscure proprietary protocol, ActiveSync. Apple and Google have licensed it so that their devices can connect to Exchange. They're playing ball with the MS way of doing things, not the other way around.
Guess what, if you buy dedicated equipment for work, and didn't use it for personal stuff, the IRS won't bat an eye when you write it off against your taxes.
I do. Does your work *REQUIRE* you to have a smartphone? Not simply a convenience for you, but an actual company requirement for you to do the work you are expected to. If the answer is yes, I'd be very surprised if they won't outright buy it or else provide you with a monthly stipend. If they require it, but don't compensate, you get to write it off on your taxes. This is the same thing as uniforms and guns for security guards and for which there is plenty of precedence in the courts. Talk to your CPA, they'll tell you the same thing.
If your answer is no, then you're being the pushover by giving away your resources to the company.
I meant the protection is for the company's data. It's their data, and their protection. You don't like what their protection does to your phone and your data? Then don't hook up your phone to their systems.
It's just like having a personal laptop. Would you bind your personal machine to the company's AD environment, giving them full administrative control? No? Then don't use your personal machine on their network. Use a company-provided machine, or a work-dedicated machine that you can write off on your tax return.
Then don't connect your personal phone to the company network.
It's that simple. It's the company's data, not your personal data, and they have measures in place to protect it. If you don't want to abide by those measures, you don't have to.
At least in the US, if you're required to provide equipment required by your job, and your employer doesn't pay for it, then you can write it off on against your personal tax burden. So if you find yourself in that rare situation where work requires you have a smartphone, and won't pay for it, get one separate than your private phone and save on your taxes at the end of the year.
Funny, I was there just last year and shot around 1000 pictures a day using my DSLR with a nice big obvious telephoto lens. Not one of those $3K lenses, but clearly not the stock one either.
I didn't experience a single altercation, let alone was even noticed by anyone. Even when shooting within the underground system and at Westminster Palace. Hell, I even shot inside the Tate modern and the National Gallery without garnering a second look.
The most interference I saw was a few signs saying that photography was not permitted in certain galleries (copyright and all) or that flash photography was not permitted. Photography was not permitted INSIDE of active churches like St. Paul's and Westminster Abbey, or INSIDE Westminster Palace. None of the hundreds of other people I noticed with nice DSLRs were hassled either except if they ignored those obvious signs.
The basic gameplay does not revolve around what people want from an X-Wing remake. I can enjoy "fishing" in some of the newer Zeldas, but that doesn't make them equivalent to the Bass Fishing experience that was so popular.

If you want to play semantics, haptic interfaces give you tactile feedback.
I understand if you didn't RTFA, but did you even read the summary? It explicitly brings up haptics.
The summary specifically mentions haptics.

Great idea, unfortunately "Happy Birthday" and other common songs are not recent pop tunes, and aren't public domain.
No, we call those bumpers as well. The fender is the body panel that wraps around the wheel well.

Have you sworn off shopping at Home Depot and Best Buy as well? Because they do the exact same thing.

The problem with a Senator passing a law is he needs 50 other Senators to join in, plus a majority in the House of Reps, plus the President.
On his own, he doesn't have much bite, but there is substantially impressive barking ability.

Oh, yes, this really looks like cockpit style, pilot-driven dogfighting:
