I really really wish people would stop running their devices at full power. I'm sick of dealing with the noise when there's no reason for my neighbour's wifi to come all the way across the street and into my home.
Surely you don't expect him to use 3G to look up the value of items when he's looting your house.
Me, I'd wonder exactly how many people who are so proud of pirating things actually make anything that others would consider pirating in the first place.
Price is not the point. It's never been the point. How much iOS software can you get from jail break sites? Instead of paying the $0.99 to get it. You want a movie? Can you not afford the $1 it costs to rent it from a redbox somewhere?
Most of the time, it seems like it's merely a contest to see who has the most stuff that they've not paid a fair price for, and a secondary goal is to feel good about "sticking it to the man/system/evil content producers".
Where I'd like to see the rules change, is content shifting. If I have paid for a movie, let me watch it where I want, as long as only one copy is being played at a time. Same for a game, or a book, or a song. A long time ago, Borland got this right. You could install their compilers wherever you wanted, as long as you only ran one copy at a time "Treat it like a book - only one person can read a given book at a time, but you can pass it to the next person"
Which leads to the next thing I'd like to change - ability to resell used copies of software. Walk into any gamestop, you'll see tons of second hard vid games. That model works. Why can't I sell my e-book when I'm done reading it? I paid pretty much the same cost as a dead tree version of it, and I can resell that.
Noticed that Nortel is in the list of companies they are reporting average salaries from. Might want to let them know about the whole bankruptcy/sell off everything thing that happened.
I've used the IOS 6 mapping application. The problem is not the application the problem is the data (as has been stated before, Apple wrote the maps application in previous iterations of IOS but used Google's data). The application performed as expected, I cant complain about that but the data, where to begin.
This is actually a very GOOD thing. It means apple can incrementally improve the data without needing to push out a new OS version. I think they should be reaching out to 4square for example to get the gps data for checkins (assuming they've not already) to help improve things. Get data from as many sources as possible, reconcile, and make available.

The problem is that the solution is obvious to anyone sufficiently skilled in the art, but only after they've seen it in action. 20-20 hindsight.
aka "Shit - I'll bet I could make one of those." Yes, after someone spent years working to get it polished to the point that you want it, it's easy to clone it after the fact. Heck, entire gaming companies are based on that premise.
2. It's harder to prove a negative than a positive, even if the negative is better. 'He copied me, that's why I have a patent on this and he doesn't' is easier to understand than 'we knew that too, but we didn't patent it because it shouldn't be patentable at all' is an inherently worse argument to make
Isn't this rather easy to solve? If you invent it, but don't think it's patentable, or shouldn't be patented, publish it. Then nobody can patent it.
Nowhere in the article does it say that he was using explosives, merely that he suffered a fishing related explosion. It could have been something as simple as the gas tank on his boat blew up. Don't diminish the accomplishment of him building arms he can control with his elbows out of scrap metal. I'm thinking Tony Stark should be talking to this guy.
Who wants to yell at household devices? I'll pay a thousand bucks right now if I can get a module that does voice command -> doing things implanted in my kids.
So Apple's "cult" consists of 70% of the tablet and mp3 market and around 40-50% of the US smart phone market?
Yup. We are Borg. Prepare to be assimilated. Resistance is futile. We will not allow you to merge our distinctiveness into your products. Um. Wait. No. How does that go again 7?

And keyboards, and mice, and webcams, and network devices...
http://www.realvnc.com/products/ios/ - why switch to a whole new platform, when you can just VNC in? If you really need something that does RDP on ios, that's out there too. https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/jump-desktop-remote-desktop/id364876095?mt=8
I have one of those sitting beside me right now, in the leatherette case.
Ah, but how are they selected for the interview in the first place? If HR is screening resumes, you may never know you're not seeing someone.
Until the Joker blows you up.

If you are someone who lives partly in the US, partly in Isreal, and partly in Ireland, then no.
"Yo mamma is so fat she works in three Intel fabs at once." was the first thing that game to mind when I read that.

Bah.
They are not going to read the three lines on Google, and go "ok, now I know what's new in the world today".
Isn't that the entire premise behind Twitter?

Awesome. I look forward to being able to visit this shrine when it is completed. Tesla Rocks.
Don't complain. You got an extra 10 years. You should have "gone on" a decade ago. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074812/ for details.
Flames. Or whirling death blades. If your conduit is big enough to climb through, it needs at least one, preferably both of those.

Isn't the moon a lot closer? We could put it on the far side to not even mess up the moonscape we can see...

No, don't. That would just lead to more bean counters.

But isn't bacteria, technically, made of meat as well?
