Is there any evidence these products are needed for iOS, or that "free" iOS apps containing these kinds of vulnerabilities slip through the approval process?
I think that magical creatures called "thetans" control your psyche, and by paying me an exhorbitant amount of money or working for me for little to no pay over a period of many years, I can "free" you of them and you can have a better life.
Perhaps I have no idea what I'm talking about, but there's no evidence that I'm wrong.
Cashless means dangerous should our electronic web collapse. As long as cash currency is accepted it's always best to keep something on hand. Woe be the day we loose our paper or coin currency completely.
and indeed shooting them down would be a bit tricky, well, maybe they could target their aa guns on the radio signals or something. sitll an awful lot of trouble to go through for some shitty civilian case.
Indeed, surely the RIAA would just dispatch their fleet of battleships.
Iran recently showed us how easy it is to take control of a drone and land it wherever you'd like. In this case, perhaps they'd be landed somewhere in the arctic or at the bottom of the atlantic?
A friend works for a popular seafood restaurant that briefly ran a promotion on the slowest night of their week advertising all-you-can-eat crab legs. It was a complete disaster. People sat at the tables gorging themselves for 2, 3 hours and the restaurant couldn't turn the tables and lost a ton of money. And this is a restaurant that normally runs a buffet every night of the week.
So no, the restaurant analogy is not the best in this case.
It's unlimited in all the same senses it ever was unlimited. Your data has always been capped at (achievable average transfer rate * number of seconds in a month).
"Unlimited" means you can access the service for an unlimited amount of TIME, not that you have infinite bandwidth. (that would be quite a trick).
AT&T is still giving unlimited access to their data network. They are simply reducing transfer rates above a certain milestone.
It's technically true in the same way as it's ever been true, but the new policy makes the claim misleading and they should have to clarify.
We need some kind of regulation that requires throttling to be clearly delineated anytime data caps are mentioned.
I'm sure they are looking at their patent-trolling options... this is the same as apple's iCloud service which has been around since October of last year....
Sadly, this doesn't give any evidence to counter the fanboy argument that most of what Google is doing these days is copying Apple.
That's kind of what I was thinking. After they raised a few eyebrows in the beginning, they could have been simply wandering through honeypots while the FBI closed in.
First there was the collapse of civilization: anarchy, genocide, starvation. Then when it seemed things couldn't get any worse, we got the plague. The Living Death, quickly closing its fist over the entire planet.
Then we heard the rumors: that the last scientists were working on a cure that would end the plague and restore the world. Restore it? Why? I like the death! I like the misery! I like this world!
Being butthurt about the virtual card collection you have amassed over a period of 10 years for a virtual card-based role playing game is a pretty friggin' good clue.
There is no TRULY unlimited data. The real-world data limit is always going to be your average connection speed in bits per second times the number of seconds in a month. Even with a "truly unlimited" plan you can't possibly download more than this.
That fact is not changing. What's changing is the throttling. We can't honestly say they have taken away "unlimted data" because it's still unlimited in all the senses it was for people who are grandfathered in.
If we want to be critical of AT&T, and they richly deserve it, we need to attack them for throttling, which they cannot deny, and not for revoking "unlimited" which they can truthfully deny.

What exactly does "Woe be the day" mean?

I'm starting to wonder if Fox News wasn't created by liberals to provide a convenient "Look at that over there!" out for any discussion.
It's okay for Google to do the same things Apple and Microsoft do, because Google has goodness in their hearts.
I tagged "slashvertisement"
It sounds more like people will rent things for vacations and flights who have no interest in actually buying the things.
What if Kenny Loggins is loggen in? Check the logs?
it's a bit of a silly argument on both sides, because nobody can make decent use of Netflix, et al, on AT&T's network. It's simply too slow.

AT&T isn't really advertising falsely, the data is unlimited. The speeds are limited.
They should be ordered to clarify their advertising and say "3G speed up to 2GB" or similar.
They are just 'assisting' us in 'registering' our DVDs.
Surely before too many years Our Federal Family: ( http://www.palmbeachpost.com/storm/femas-use-of-term-federal-family-for-government-1808751.html ) will help us 'register' our SUVs, our guns, religious beliefs, etc.

It's not about being resistant to doing things in a new way.
Nobody is protesting the fact that the future's model will probably be digital purchases stored in the cloud and accessed anywhere.
People are making fun of a laughable attempt to DRM movies that people bought before DRM, at cost to the consumer.
That's kind of what I was thinking. After they raised a few eyebrows in the beginning, they could have been simply wandering through honeypots while the FBI closed in.
Or they made him an offer he couldn't refuse, a la Agent Smith

Why would you assume that?

I was surprised to learn from TFA that EverQuest Online Adventures is still operating. They released that for the PS2 in 2003.
I put on my robe and wizard hat. And, play my Pickpocket Neopet +5 card.
