And it doesn't look like a sweet zombie-fighting flamthrowing shotgun. Musk knows his audience and sold $10 million worth of product in four days. How's your idea working out?
I made it two episodes into season four before I went "I don't know why I'm still watching this. It's not coming back to how interesting it was in season 1."
HCF went from an interesting show about the emergency of tech to a generic soap opera that had nothing to do with tech beyond "these dull characters work in the tech field".
The worst part is that they were selling off remaining inventory at fire sale prices knowing full well they were going to brick them soon, and arranged the timing of the warranty to completely screw the buyers.
And they were mostly right. Many people don't seem to realize that the Constitution spells out limits on the federal government's power and that the Bill of Rights was specifically written to codify and guarantee a certain basic set of Rights that the federal government was specifically forbidden to encroach on. Unfortunately, the Constitution is pretty much treated like toilet paper as it's been "re-interpreted" over and over with endless exceptions that were never intended or desired by the founding fathers.
Explaining to a user why they're wrong for disliking a user interface is a major problem with UI designers. Maybe spend more time listening and you might be able to design a better interface.
Are you actually saying that it's not their fault because A) the ads make them money, and B) the contracts are too hard to understand? Is that really what you are claiming? Because that is laughable at best and moronically idiotic at worst.
If it's your website, you are responsible for the ad content you serve on it. This ridiculous "pass the buck" ecosystem that we've allowed to be created is the problem. End users who get infected by a bad site are told "Oh, gee, well I guess you should just use an antivirus. Also, pretty please turn off your ad blocker so we can make a little money to keep the site running for you?". The end user has no way of knowing who the ad network is, nor do they have any way to hold that network responsible.
No, this is ABSOLUTELY Equifax and Transunion's fault. THEY are serving bad ads on their site. THEY are the ones who contracted with companies with terrible security. THEY are the ones inserting that bad security into their web site. THEY are responsible for any breaches as a result of that negligence. It's time to stop allowing these sites to keep getting away with this behavior over and over.
I know it's poplar to hate on Microsoft, but fir crying out loud you could maybe leaf off just a little bit. It's getting really boring listening to people whine about them.
Are they investigating "bashing random peoples heads in" or are they "demanding the private account information of potentially thousands of Facebook users in three separate search warrants"? Those are two very different conversations and you really need to make up your mind which one you want to talk about.
Either the First Amendment applies to all of us or it applies to none of us. If you can pick and choose who gets to voice their opinion, then we've all already lost.
Seriously.... who cares that they know your floor plan?
It's not what they're selling, it's that they're selling it at all. Consumers seem to have no control over their personal data anymore. They're at the mercy of whichever corporation decides that they'd like to squeeze you for a little more money. The answer shouldn't be "well, stop using that technology!". What we should be doing is demanding stronger consumer protection laws to prevent it from happening in the first place.
Must be pretty easy to see them all from your high horse.
How is this event any different from, say, Comic-Con or any other fan fest? Just because it's a video game you don't happen to like? Newsflash: People like enjoying their hobbies and sometimes that involves paying money to do things related to it.
"We're mad because Let's Encrypt makes it way too easy for the plebs to get a certificate without paying hundreds or thousands of dollars per year to a CA."
So, shouldn't they be calling attention to the ridiculous EULA ecosystem that companies have managed to create, where the agreements are so long and full of legal jargon that the average person can't possibly be expected to fully understand them? Shouldn't they be doing that instead of mocking those same people who either didn't read or didn't understand what they were agreeing to?
Now I have to give props to the prosecutor for alerting the defense and the court about it. They could have buried it.
This is where we are now? Where we have to give "props" to our officers of the court for not committing criminal professional misconduct by suppressing evidence that the defense is legally entitled to? No wonder the cop was comfortable turning off his camera and then faking evidence when he "remembered" that it needed to be on.
Alright, even though Google is a thing that you should know how to use by now, I'll go ahead and bite.
Samsung Pay is an electronic payment method similar to Apple Pay or Android Pay. It comes pre-loaded on high-end Samsung phones. One of its key differentiators is that it can use the MST magnetic coil in the back of the phone to mimic swiping your physical credit card through a card reader. This means it works at all of those terminals that don't yet have NFC readers built-in. Given the (relative) lack of market penetration for NFC-capable card readers, this is a Big Deal. Samsung's decision to push this tech down to lower-end phones (and especially to areas where NFC terminals are largely unheard of, such as India) will undoubtedly help them to grow their user base substantially.

Yeah, it's pretty unlikely that anyone would have access to two computers in 2018.

I can't believe it's been 20 years.

So the USS Indianapolis was not the worst.
It's not a contest.

Bet you anything that some more IT people get fired, though. Just keep firing IT people until all of your IT problems go away, BA!

will have to pay a tax based upon "mileage" traveled by that spacecraft from California. (No, we're not exactly sure what this means, either).
Ars Technica must have a reading comprehension problem because it's spelled out pretty clearly in the proposal exactly what it means.
I believe them 100% because they've never lied to the public before. Or the courts. Or Congress. Why wouldn't you take them at their word?
Verizon does not sell personal web browsing histories and has no plans to do so in the future
It's more accurate to say that the citizens of Chicago get to keep $17 million of their money that is annually stolen from them by the city.
