Many if not all of the cars involved in unintended acceleration incidents had keyless ignition. In an emergency shutting off the engine isn't as easy as turning the key a quarter turn. Yet another reason I'm not a fan of keyless ignition.
As far as I am concerned we already have a.xxx TLD, it's just blocked in it's entity like out would be if it we're actually implemented. (seriously, if you ran a porn site you would probably register a.xxx to keep someone else from stealing your site name but have it redirect to your.com address.)
The average person thinks.com is the internet. Just have browses append.com and we're there except for the part about generating money for registrars. (i think Netscape used to do that by default, not sure if newer browsers do.)

But it could be (then you would patent it, I suppose.)
While this is interesting and all and potentially could be used at a high value directed target, as a general problem it's pretty limited. There aren't many insulin pumps out there, there are several manufacturers and I would imagine the exploit is device specific.
I'm not sure just why the manufacturer thinks the pump needs to have a wireless function though. If it needs to talk to another device, I would have used a small magnetic cable (so it doesn't get pulled out). Easy peasy as opposed to convincing a wireless device to talk to something else.
Apple has a patent on magnetically connected cables that they are pretty aggressive about protecting so that wouldn't work. On the other hand I have a deep fryer that has a similar cable that pre dates Apple's implementation by several years.
Why go through all that trouble just to watch crappy, advertising-riddled American TV? You're in Europe! I don't understand why anyone would *want* to watch US TV unless they had no other choice (meaning, they live in the US).
Just watch BBC and see what will be on US TV in a few years.

Not much difference really. Easier to get hunting permits for turkeys though.
Tell Ted Nugent that they are a bunch of Democrats.
Two year contract on a blackberry should be punishment enough.
Thats the problem. The lawyers made millions and all Apple got was a $10 coupon off thier next nvidia purchase.
Agreed. Fuck this guy.
He should be banished from Apple Island and be forced to walk the cursed earth... using Windows Phone.
I think that forcing Windows Phone on him counts as cruel and unusual punishment.
It was an Italian car? Windows was probably installed to increase its reliability.
It was Italian. Windows running on Italian automotive electrics just seems like the kind of car you'd rent in Hell.
Cars in hell have British electrical, Italian mechanicals, and run Windows.
Two seconds is a long time when you are barreling down the highway at 120 mph pannicing because your car won't slow down.

Using IE6 is punishment enough.
All they are doing is bringing in money from gullible and desperate foreigners. Nothing that would be a threat to the Chineese government.
The Navy still has ship mounted laser weapons.

It means that traceroute will be able to tell you response times or router addresses but not both.

So it's like bitcoin eh?
On a computer is passe. It's on a mobile device or using social media now.
Circuit City. Best Buy is too customer friendly.
Probably. Based on my experience with McAfee I'd rather take my chances with the viruses.
You say that now but just wait a week or two when they release mcaffe medical edition.
It isn't connected.

Right on. Just when you think you can support him he says somethingthat makes you wonder what looney bin he escaped from.
