Actually, they're not. Any time anyone tags a photo of me, I get a notification and can untag it. It almost never happens anyway. My folks/friends aren't big photo posters.
But this is one thing (among many) that bothers me about facebook. If you don't have a facebook account, you can't stop people from posting pics of you and filling out the "In this picture" stuff with your name essentially tagging you without you getting a chance to remove the tag.
I believe what tends to happen in cases like this, where there is such disdain for the patent mess and the general notion of competition by litigation, is people tend to dislike the perceived aggressor the most.
Apple is clearly the perceived aggressor, having started the litigation in this scenario. And Samsung is seen as defending itself. Had Samsung instigated this particular fight, they would be "rooted against" so to speak, excepting a certain anti-Applie contingent that will always hate and root against Apple even if they're giving away food to starving people in third world countries.
Adobe Flash: I'm not dead. The Internet: 'Ere, he says he's not dead. Google: Yes he is. Flash: I'm not. The Internet: He isn't. Opera Software: Well, he will be soon, he's very ill. Flash: I'm getting better. Mozilla: No you're not, you'll be stone dead in a moment. The Internet: Well, I can't take him like that. It's against regulations. Flash: I don't want to go on the cart. Apple: Oh, don't be such a baby. The Internet: I can't take him. Flash: I feel fine. W3C: Oh, do us a favor. The Internet: I can't. Google: Well, can you hang around for a couple of minutes? He won't be long. The Internet: I promised I'd be at the Robinsons'. They've lost nine today. Apple: Well, when's your next round? The Internet: Thursday. Flash: I think I'll go for a walk. Mozilla: You're not fooling anyone, you know. Isn't there anything you could do? Flash: I feel happy. I feel happy. [Microsoft glances up and down the street furtively, then silences Flash with his a whack of his club] W3C: Ah, thank you very much. The Internet: See you on Thursday.
When an android tablet maker can get comparable specs to an iPad for $199 they'll sell like mad. Anything higher and they have a minimal seller, period.
I'm a guy. And I used to keep up a personal blog. Once upon a time there was a website that would analyze your blog for you and guess if you were male or female much like this twitter nonsense.
It guessed I was female. Dude! I'm not even gay! STOP SAYING THAT!!!
I love PuTTY and I use it frequently. That being said, I wish it supported a scripting language. I used to sometimes use Tera Term for its built-in macro scripting language and always wondered why PuTTY never implemented such a feature.
We are currently on the $19.99/mo unlimited streaming plus 3 DVDs out at a time plan. It looks like that's going up to $23.98/month. I'm not happy about it. But I can live with it.
I had a facebook account, deleted it, and created a new one. I maintain it primarily as a way to warn many of my friends about the dangers of using facebook.

Is that the one that is/was labeled "Minefield" ? I was running that once upon a time. Chromium has been doing the trick for me lately.
I know. But thanks anyway. It's always nice when others acknowledge it. ;-)
Fuck it. I may as well do up a script to check out the latest nightly updates and re-build FF every day for me.

One of the reasons I have a facebook account is so I can untag photos others say are me.
This is why I always use a picture like this for any online public pics.
Note that the pic in question (a) does not show a face clearly and (b) may or may not be me.
Yeah but it's way cheaper to retrofit munitions onto drones than satellites.
lol. touche
Now they have more publicity for their upcoming phone. Well played.

Give up! You cannot defeat the /. hyperbolic echo chamber!
Somebody should start up MetaLeaks.
Ressurrect Blockstackers Intergalactic and get to work on Everything3
But really, good luck at whatever you do next.

I've always preferred a watch with hr, min, sec hands to digitals. Digital watches never look nice to me. They look like a calculator on your arm.
But I am a geek, so here's my current watch
Best Buy will lose this case. And all it will do is give Newegg that much more cache with their current customer base.
