In all the places I've worked the employee has never been required to have work email on their phone but should they choose to they must be able to be remotely wiped. My current employer requires that the phone wipe after ten failed unlock attempts. You don't have to do this if you don't want work email on your phone. This is very reasonable.
Amount of data is not always the concern.. some companies have so many concurrent connections that the databases can't keep up. These situations are ideal for scaling horizontally using various methods.. including caching on top of the database and eventually being consistant (to allow always available reads, etc). A very simple solution is to replicate your db and have all reads come from your slaves and all writes to the master, this helps spread the connections around. Software like Cassandra are an example of moving away from full out relational dbs for the purpose of having always available data..
Some big claims in that article but no where does he explain what the problem is. Apple isn't stifling competition, it's fostering it. Apple is not a monopoly, it's just the leader in some industries. Other companies are free to compete and challenge In those industries and you're free to support them. Steve jobs likes to control...because it's made a massive success for him and apple, why would he change what works and why is that bad.
Behaving loud, erratic, and uncooperatively will simply cause you to miss your flight. They're trained to remove you from the situation if you're doing anything they consider or can even label as upsetting other passengers.
All I can say is that you'd better hope that no acts of violence or "terrorism" occur on an airplane that day. You know damn well that that kind of situation will be described in the same sentence as opt-out day and you'll possibly have the exact opposite effect you're hoping for. I agree with the other fellow: hit em in the pocket. Part of all these measures is to make passengers feel safe and continue to fly, if you stop flying they'll consider alternatives.
I always skip any step that either prompts me to supply login info for another service or that will harvest other peoples emails through me. If I send an email to you should I expect it to be in face books db if you join facebook? Never liked that...
They feel they need to make an example of the ones they catch to discourage to acts. How else are people going to fear consequences for something they can easily execute with a feeling of anominity and detachment.
I always scratch my head when I read comments about how zynga and co sell your data 'cause they're the big bad... A quick search shows zynga making ridiculous money from virtual good sales, completely legal, completely legit. Why would a company that is reportingly earning millions bother to sell data? Not only does it risk it's reputation but it seems to do so for a revenue that would be pale in comparison to it's legit business. I dunno, I just don't see it...but ive been wrong once before.
Having something complicate your life is a valid reason not do that something.. not doing something because it doesn't improve your life sounds ridiculous. I'm currently drinking a can of coke, I almost sure this is not improving my life, in fact it my result in the opposite, but man I enjoy a can of coke from time to time.. I don't care that it's not productive, that it doesn't improve my life, and that it doesn't contribute to me saving kittens and puppies in my spare time... Why anyone refuses to TRY Facebook is beyond me. If you try it and find it unsatisfying; stop. But to not try at all and then have any opinion on it is completely retarded.
I'm not sure that's accurate. I agree that proving whether someone genuinely forgot something is near impossible, however, I doubt the court need prove that. Ignorance (forgetting something?) is pretty clearly handled in law and it doesn't end well for the person claiming it. Likely the court would simply state that this person did make a clear enough attempt to recover/remember this password and is now obstructing evidence purposely, possibly after a medical examination to ensure that he is not suffering from an ailment that causes memory loss.
I'm sorry, but I don't buy into this "just forget it" business at all.
Seems like there should be a partial quarantine state where the infected user's service is severely reduced however the isp is still able to network with the computer to provide an avenue for removal tools and resolution. The Internet is the primary source of information for many, and the people unknowingly hosting sentinels in a malicious network are in severe need of information. There must be a compromise or providers risk losing customers..
Totally. I've written many admin tools for employees to use that don't have the knowledge or experience to be logging into production servers and running scripts. These gui interfaces are a good way to let untrusted users take some sort of action in a controlled environment. For the same reason home routers have web admins.
Exactly, this is entertainment and sometimes entertainment needs to be simple and brainless and sometimes it needs to be critical and though provoking. I've had an account since launch and I go through periods where I play a lot and periods where I play little to none. I'll buy cat and continue this.
Seems like there is a valid point here. The people still on xp have already skipped a version (vista) and in retrospect likely believe that was a wise decision. That's a tough crowd for ms to peddle wares too I would think.
The people that are against this stuff believe it's morally wrong or insensitive and you suggest they simply ignore it because you disagree with their assessment. That is indeed radical in a sense.
I agree with you. It's not consistent, it's not even sensible sometimes. As games increase realism and are able to toss out releases fast enough to be contemporary with world events we will see this kind of issue more and more.
I doubt very much the US forces will ever be removed, likely the forces support (morally and financially) this kind of propaganda machine.
While I think this over reaction is a sad fact of our times lately I have to admit that entertainment like this can lead to desensitization of an event that is current and problematic. Yes there are plenty of other examples of this, but that doesn't make it acceptable. This is not educational or enlightening, it's pure entertainment of a situation that is extremely serious for some, serious and relevant right now.
I can easily see both sides of this argument.
I'd love to see them try legal action for some @yahoo.com or @gmail.com account. I can see the headlines now: School hit in the face by the Google pie when it tries to enforce address names on gmail accounts.
The students need not do a thing, they can let their email provided (yahoo, google, hotmail, whatever) take charge for some asshat trying to enforce business rules on their operations.

I wonder if they'll change the employee email domains to differentiate them from users. I bet phishing skyrockets at first.

Ya because zynga really needs to sell user data to make money.
They feel they need to make an example of the ones they catch to discourage to acts. How else are people going to fear consequences for something they can easily execute with a feeling of anominity and detachment.

No no it's fine, they're all being monitored. Oh wait....

You don't think tv shows are edited for censorship and content before being releaased to the public? You're right, this is no different.

Wait till they find pictures of their mothers on my page!
