First, release a product, intended for wide or universal application, with little or no thought to how the larger ecosystem will subvert it.

When workers get so desperate it becomes the only way to improve things. Unfortunately, most people are sheep and will put up with a lot of BS before they get up the gumption to fight back.
The problem is, when people start working for the economy instead of the other way around, you get the problem of treating people like so many disposable parts. Unions have helped bring the human component to our work lives, but with their waning influence (and with people so willing to subsume their own interests to please the boss), we are going backwards and workers, even highly skilled, intelligent ones, become little more then means to an end (profit).

We are seeing a shift from private to public, closed to open, secretive to transparent and it's all because of a far more efficient and cheap ways to communicate. The act of communication is so fundamental to how we relate to the world, that when you change the way you communicate, you change the shape of everything in the world.
Corporate structures will change drastically. How, exactly, no one know. Can corporations like Google still exist 50 years from now? Will there be any need for massive bureaucracies any more or will the opposite happen, and just a handful of bureaucracies be able to control everything?
Ah, I see what the video is showing now. "Keep your eye on the front of the car as you approach *and after you pass*" is what gave me a clue.
I think this can be classified as a video optical illusion. I watched it like 3 times and the asteroid looked like it bounced backwards and away to the left.
In that animation, the asteroid was apparently deflected by the earth's force field. Either that or I just don't understand what's going on. Can someone kindly explain what the video is showing?
Well, your future employers may not want to take a chance on an individual who reveals nothing about themselves. It would be better to create a false identity that paints you as a smart but soulless drone that's good at taking marching orders so the corporate masters will approve.
I'm afraid the Internet will come to be seen as the ultimate tool as the ultimate tool for allowing the powerful, smart, and/or well-connected individuals and organizations to find and exploit the gullible, stupid, and/or powerless amongst us.
So how will this anti-ICBM technology be used against a terrorist carrying these suitcase a-bombs that are said to exist?
The problem is, ss soon as we get a 100% effective missile shield, enemies will find a way to deliver nuclear armaments. It wouldn't even be that hard. They can just park a ship off a Manhattan and light one off if they wanted to.
This whole idea of shooting down missiles is a waste of fucking time and money. If we gave the money we were spending on this bullshit to the countries to foster good will, we'd be a lot better off.
Wouldn't Boeing have a lot of incentive to hype this to ensure that the contract got renewed for further research? It's possible that they set the bar for success so low and/or made the experiment so contrived that they couldn't help but achieve it.
Uh, excuse me, yeah, I don't know you, but I think a multi-billion dollar media mogul might know just a little bit more about "the world of real business" than you.
Even if you aren't an average Joe, it's still makes "legit" apps run buggy. And every time there's a firmware upgrade, it's advised to "unjailbreak" the phone, do the upgrade, and then "rejailbreak" the phone.
Jailbroken phones are great, but be prepared to put up with extra headaches.
After watching the video, that "Army Experience" store, set up in a mall, strikes me as a little twisted. It seems pretty clear this place was set up to resemble a video game center to "lure" high school kids to it so recruiters would have an opportunity to talk to them about joining the Army. I'm not very comfortable having my government treating its kids this way.
Just who the fuck can we trust these days? What makes these executives think they can act with impunity? Oh, right, they probably can. Yay, free market!

What are you talking about? In 1991, I purchased an IBM PS/2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Personal_System/2

Gizmodo? Call me when a reputable publication reports on this.

RTFA. They have started revealing information to the world once private and there's nothing you can do to stop it.
Well, your future employers may not want to take a chance on an individual who reveals nothing about themselves. It would be better to create a false identity that paints you as a smart but soulless drone that's good at taking marching orders so the corporate masters will approve.
Probably there to make it more of a hassle to make the changes to their settings. "Oh, I'll do this later."
I'm afraid the Internet will come to be seen as the ultimate tool as the ultimate tool for allowing the powerful, smart, and/or well-connected individuals and organizations to find and exploit the gullible, stupid, and/or powerless amongst us.
They talked to the people who got caught. If you are sophisticated, you aren't going to get caught. Bogus study in my opinion.

Actually, the lasers are on a plane, presumably above the clouds. See article.
They will place these lasers in New England. They say you only have to wait 5 min. for the weather to change there.

Then why is the world full of so many ugly people?
Yeah, mod me down, I dare ya!
