The Google, you are too out there for me. I use The Gmail and The Analytics (can't get strikethrough to behave), The Blogspot, The Translate and that's about it. One day I hope to learn about The Wave, but I have to The Work and pay The Bills in a different geek field than The Googler.
So what hard drive are you using that can store all this data at 5gbps?
Is it made with pixie dust? or does it just cost an arm a leg and half of the oil in the middle east? Oh wait, its just four hundred thousand 5.25" floppy drives in a custom raid solution. Thats nerdcore.
You must not have grasped the implications of the announcement I made. To the bin with you!
Home network, let me introduce you to your new friend USB 3.0. He is really fast, so I expect the rest of you to keep up! Don't be the bottleneck and you get to stay right where you are instead of being tossed in the bin.
I am not jumping on the exotic CIA plot against him bandwagon yet. At least not for this incident.
Are his accusers keeping quiet, like they should if this is a for real investigation/accusation? Guess they would do that too if it was a setup. If they are just making it up to get famous, look for the media blitz.
It must suck to have Steve Jobs break into your house, smash your netbook, and force you at gunpoint to buy an iPad.
My thoughts exactly. I got a Toshiba Netbook shortly after trying out a friend's and I love it. I tend to use my computers a little longer than most people, so will see what is out there again in a few years. Really not seeing this "software threat" as an issue while everything I have loaded on my machines works and won't do "less" than it does today.
They withdrew the warrant. I find it hard to believe that the USA made them do that too, or that a few news and blog reports made them do it either. Sounds like a police error. At least these authorities did the right thing and withdrew rather that press for an arrest on flimsy evidence.
you would think you could sell this information to certain other parties for a lot more than that
and the potential for damage that can be done to the company's brand, and with all of the money the company has, you'd think they'd pay at least an order of magnitude more. and get a lot more interest in finding and reporting security flaws to boot
they are playing pennies for gems of information
Some of us like to play nice. Not saying I am in the category of the people who got those rewards, of course.
Yes, the drones can carry long wavelength cameras to see through walls. They could also carry nuclear weapons. Irrational paranoia aside, Google is probably just trying to compete with Bing's Birds-Eye map capabilities.
Irrational paranoia? Who have you been talking to!

Might want to look into Sweden's "rape" and "molestation" laws. They cast a broad net. Also, see the nature of prosecutors/lawyers.

If Teak (Tectona) is dark enough, it could be used to make awesome etchings for paperweights and other cool knickknacks.
I doubt it features humans coming back to Pandora with 100x more firepower :o
I am going to see it anyway, just to prove you wrong!
I sense a torpedo joke is about to come through the door.
Stop bouncing through that South Korean server and it should work fine.
You forgot the AWESOME visual! (Safe for work outside of the Koreas)
Kim Jong-Il heard about Farmville and thought that sounded fun-.
Really? I heard he was going to use it to better train his farmers.
You can virtually feed a nation with a Farmville farm. Another high point, the traffic girls have a place to vent too.

Best outcome would be better scores and an end to the addiction, of course.
Reality show. Never forget about the possible reality show angle.

Some of us enjoy a little extra flavour in our language than others.
I have no doubt you're one of the good guys. But not everyone is
Not much I can do about others doing bad things outside of my office. I have full control over what I do.
Love your sig ;)
Such a USAian AC aren't you?
Glad you decoded it for me! We are on the same ship.

Meritocracy at work. It's nice to see, and I'm sure I will hear all sorts of complaints about how it is neither fair nor effective.
Getting paid to help is always good. Especially on things many of us try to help on even if there is not pay incentive.

Use IR reflective paint and become invisible!
"Is it just me, or is Google entering dangerous airspace here?" Yes, it is just you. Move along. Nothing to see here.
