At Duke I was pretty much told "Go buy the textbook [$200+] and come to class if you have questions [which probably won't be answered]." The profs were just that. Profs. Not teachers. They were more interested in their research than educating the lowly undergrads.
I switched to a state school. I actually have TEACHERS now! (at 1/10th the price!)
1) Why the hell would any manufacturer hard code ANY passwords or users and 2) Just how many of these systems are out there, in which areas of the private & public sectors?
Don't they have bigger issues/bad guys to take care of than some college student POSSIBLY playing PIRATED VIDEO GAMES? Drugs, gangs, violence, terrorism, rape, murders...need I go on? last time I checked the courts and jails were rather full...
If this does for phones what it's done for pc's, the consumer is going to finally win at least a bit when it comes to their phone. Finally they won't be screwed by BOTH their carrier AND their manufacturer.
the difference between this and Intel's technology, other than the obvious chip-to-chip vs machine-to-peripheral difference. It's all variations on silicon (nano)photonics, right? The article says "Intel is also researching silicon nanophotonics at the silicon level, but has not yet demonstrated the integration of photonics with electronics"...but that makes me wonder what the big deal about Light Peak is, then...
is the only difference the "nano"?
I think it could simply be that people realized that they didn't need to buy new systems to play (more) decent games. The manufacturers saw that they were certainly not making ANY significant amounts of profit of the hardware, and the existing hardware (PS2 for example) just wouldn't DIE, as developers just kept pumping out games for them.
Why waste money in bringing new systems when no revitalization is needed in the industry? These are businesses after all. They won't try to fix what 'aint broke.
In other news, Apple tells the world it has the most perfectly designed mobile devices in the world.
No in all honesty 90% of web surfers never look at the address anyways. They click a link and expect that it takes them where it says it will.
So I wouldn't call this an Apple issue, as they designed their interface with this fact in mind, so much as a consequence of user behavior and a company that is happy to oblige to supporting bad habits.

Breaking Development! Facebook introduces HTTPS after CEO Mark Zuckerbergs' facebook account is hacked!!!
Right. Hundreds of thousands.
Not millions. So an enormous company like Moto can do without them no problem.
*I* Could do THAT!!!! And I bet they'll pay me more than Starbucks!
for the iPhone 5, and then I saw how much it costs. (Palladium turns out to be rather expensive)
Attacking is easy. Defense is hard. ( ex. Nuclear Weapons use)
It totally classifies as epic fail.
didn't they ask us this last year? This question feels awfully familiar...

Just what the world needed. Another government deciding what it's citizens should and shouldn't see.
Don't you mean:
In Soviet Russia, BSD backdoors KGB!

of Stereoscopic....it's polyscopic? I dunno...this still seems like more of the same.
Give it a week or two at most before something (or someone) refutes it. Remember the magical Arsenic Bacteria NASA discovery? Didn't even last a week.
Book dust! Don't breathe this!
Government workers are people too. Just like the people in businesses all around the world shopping for shoes on the clock.

Poooor phone makers~ /sarcasm

won't everyone just follow the same algorithm and end up with traffic peaking at some other time?

"His plan involves the creation of a dns root server to begin with that uses PEER-TO-PEER technology and is SECURE"
uh...I'm pretty sure those two things normally don't go together...
And what is truly amusing is still how much I love my iPhone.
