The US has not executed anyone for espionage since the Rosenbergs, and the military hasn't executed anyone in 50 years or so. There is no reason whatever to believe that even if Assange were put on trial by the United States that he would be executed.
Wikileaks' problem is that they had a fame-seeking public figurehead. It's too bad his ego brought the whole house down.
With government shutdowns impending and with budget shrinking, not growing, over the next several years - I doubt we can afford this, and I doubt if anyone will consider it seriously.
This is an essential problem with Linux myopia among expert users - that my experience would = everyone else's experience if they weren't stupid/corrupt/baised/etc.
Another problem is fragmentation in the Android platform.
You for the most part never hear iPad users worrying or complaining about about what version of the OS a particular device has, what compatibility issues there are with the hardware, and what version is required by what apps. It's all abstracted to the user.
Until someone starts making Android tablets that are price competitive, feature, competitive, AND accessible, there won't be any credible threat to the iPad in the tablet space.
This is sort of the inverse of when Sega's consoles all flopped and so they gave up and started trying to develop games. They couldn't create their own game anymore, so they tried to win at the other guys' - because it was that or going out of business.
I for one think this is the right move for Nokia.
It helps them because they don't have a market. They've been asleep at the wheel in the smartphone space for years. None of the major wireless carriers are going to let Nokia push into the smartphone market with Symbian, a little known and underdeveloped platform, and it would be suicide anyway.
Nokia is dying. By selling their souls to MSFT, they at least get a platform, and they can start selling their phones to retailers. It might work too - people know the Nokia name, and seeing a Windows Phone device might be underwhelming to a consumer but Nokia might add a little trust.
Right now they have zero for smartphone and the dumbphone market is in the death throes. They either had to join or die.
There's a difference between "all phones have an antenna" (duh), and "the antenna is exposed to conductive material by human skin contact" which has a very different effect than locating your hand near the in-case antenna.
For my part, using a case (I opted for an Incase case and not the lameo apple bumper) doesn't seem to change anything.
But, also in my anecdotal experience, the problem doesn't manifest itself that often. It seems to me (personal theory with no evidence behind it) that if you just barely have coverage, this will degrade it to nothing, but if you are someplace where you have a good signal it's not noticable.
Yeah, but even if it does work, isn't this a bit like trying to "clean up the pacific ocean" with a pool skimmer? How much of a difference is one net going to make even in the momentary level of junk if it catches something, let alone in the overall, over time level of junk?
Funding stunt, anyone?
Why laud EA Sports, engineers of a no-competition contract with the NFL, whereby nobody else can make an NFL game because they hold an exclusive license?
For a community that hates all things closed and proprietary, EA is the MSFT of video games.
One offensive coordinator's playbook I just read was 700 pages. So that's only one half of the playbook, and they often put in additional packages when they play a team for the second time or in the postseason, or just to make adjustments for what they can do well as the season progresses. 1,000 pages when you combine offense and defense is totally believable.
There are numerous stories just related to my favorite team that involve lost plays or playbooks.
One story involved a coach who was talking with a bartender late one night and diagrammed a play on a napkin, which was later scooped up by a fan of the opponent and passed on.
Another was a prominent running back who lost his playbook halfway through the season, and it reportedly fell into the hands of a division rival. Remote wipe might be quite useful.

these "finicky mobile networks" are just that, a network. whereas you are opting for a single point of failure. !better

How many units has the Archos 101 sold?

Wow. Pure, unadulterated ownage.

Exactly. A respectable media outlet would have verified the information before running with it. Bloggers have no such need.

Your sense of nuance reminds me of the punchcard days... :)
You're missing memory leaks, program crashes, diminished battery life and a slew of mostly unremarkable apps.
Now I r become death, the shatterer of websites

I guess they'll just choose from that bevy of high quality Android tablets out there.... oh wait.
