EULAs generally idemnify the company from liability do to the program's use (although it's questionable how legally enforcable EULAs are). False advertising might be a better way to go after companies making claims like that. That said, what company or software makes the ridiculous claim of be unsnoopable and/or having unbreakable encryption?
I also turned off Amber Alerts, but left weather on. While Amber Alerts are important, there's no reason for the super-loud, knock-your-socks-off alert sound for them. A normal notification message is sufficient.
The vast majority of apps have no need to target the very latest API level... API levels 8 or 9 (Android 2.2 or 2.3) will have all the functionality they need.
"that noted a correlation between trees (at least the 22 North American ash varieties) and human health" and "While the exact cause and effect remains unknown, this research appears to..."
Not normal? Industry insiders being appointed to gov't positions that regulate said industry? That's unfortuately very normal. The Treasury Department is full of ex-Goldman Sachs people, the Department of Justice is full of ex-RIAA and MPAA lawyers, etc.
Nowhere in TFA does the guy say he's making $10/hr, only that he could survive on $16K/yr, which the author extrapolated to $10/hr. The guy talks about traveling several weeks a year, which he doesn't include in the $16K, so presumably he's making significantly more than that.
That was true when Netflix for Android first came out, but isn't any longer. As dreamchaser said, nowadays it will run on any Android 2.2 or higher device.
Chrome and Safari have... unauthorized patches? At least that was the last time I checked either of them. There might be some "support", but make no mistake: Google doesn't want you to have AdBlock. And Apple doesn't want you to have anything that sets off their NIH alarm.
As for the rest, I haven't bothered with an alternative browser in years. Firefox is open enough, configurable enough, and extendable enough to meet all of my needs. When it becomes troublesome and has true alternatives that aren't, then I'll look for another browser.
Chrome has had extensions (including AdBlock) for quite some time now.
According to TFA, they are *going to* use Kickstarter to fund the project. It's not even on Kickstarter yet.
With the bad press, they'll have a really hard time raising those funds (assuming people take the 2 minutes to actually google the company before giving their money).
Not really true anymore... (legal) streaming video is replacing p2p as the biggest bandwidth consumer. It's been said that during evenings in the US, Netflix consumes 30% of downstream bandwidth.
Yes I have, and my question still stands. I don't feel any mental nor physical suffering because of Chrome being 32-bit only. There doesn't appear to be anything it can't do because it's not 64-bit. The vulnerability in the summary doesn't cause me "suffering" either... nobody's actually used it yet, and it'll probably be patched at some point soon enough.
As long as you pay for two years of service (or an ETF), they are getting they're subsidy back.
Let's put it this way, suppose you signed a contract to work for $50,000 a year. What if your employer told you you can survive for $25,000, therefore that's what they will pay you?
I said "as long as you pay for two years of service (or an ETF)", which means they are getting exactly the amount of money they expected to.

...although I am surprised I haven't seen caffeinated bacon yet so either someone hasn't gotten that idea yet or I haven't looked hard enough.
Not quite "caffeinated bacon", but close: http://republicofbacon.com/2012/06/15/bacon-love-friday-caffeinated-bacon/

Since when are poorly-worded/confusing/misleading summaries unusual here?
From TFS:
"that noted a correlation between trees (at least the 22 North American ash varieties) and human health" and "While the exact cause and effect remains unknown, this research appears to..."
He's claiming correlation, not causation.
...that noted a correlation between trees (at least the 22 North American ash varieties) and human health...
While the exact cause and effect remains unknown...
He's claiming correlation, not causation.
He was already arrested and released on bail. No need to track him down.
Don't you mean Microsoft?

The latter.
End design patents. Either end software patents or make them expire after a very short time period.
Rooting is not illegal, nor is running custom ROMs. Carrier unlocking is illegal.

Cue the star name squatters.
Most of the Java vulnerabilities are in the browser plugin. You can always install Java and just disable the browser plugin.
If you need to run your "15 year old VB6 apps", there's always XP mode in Windows 7 Pro & Ultimate, or you can just run XP in VirtualBox or VMWare.
Isn't it productsearch.ubuntu.com ?

Could you say "jumped the shark" a few more times? Oh wait, the saying has already jumped the shark.
