The replacement paperclip project is classified Secret. We don't want the Americans to know we are still using paperclips, and we don't want the Chinese to know where all those paperclips we import are going.
Not only have there been numerous problems with malware on iOS, a recent study (too lazy to search for it) randomly selected a bunch of apple-vetted apps and apps from a jailbreak-only iPhone app store, and found that a larger percentage of apple app store apps are malware than ones from the third-party unvetted store...
How about this: imagine you're the father of an 18 year old girl who is living on her own for the first time. Is this app still not creepy?
If my 18 year old is using Foursquare, which by design broadcasts her location to the Internet, and has a Facebook page with her personal (or identifying) data available to the Internet, then No. Expecially because it doesn't do anything that can't be done with just a few more mouse clicks (or taps to you younglings).
You need to separate the tool from the task. Let's see.. Car analogy... Car analogy... OK. It's great that you know when you press on the accelerator it pulls a wire where the other end is connected to a carburetor which changes the fuel/air mixture (fuel that's from the gas tank that is typically located apart from the engine for safety because fuel is flammable) on it's way into the intake manifold and then the cylinder which blah blah blah... However, some folks just want to mash the thing on the floor and go faster. It doesn't make them "idiots". You are both in a car (tool) going somewhere to do something (task) and the fact that one of you is more likely to hit a tree is irrelevant.
So... This thread has four AC posts: Two complaining and two defending Microsoft. The post that points out Windows 8 is still in development (in response to a post about the current feature set) is modded Troll. Ah Slashdot, I remember when you were a semi-technical forum. At this point I'm thinking about getting a Facebook account. The worms will expose me to more technology than these threads.
No, not at all. If you RTFAs you'll find the gub'ment is finished with their investigation and the server owners (Capathia and Cognet) are free to delete the data. However, they've agreed to not delete the data but now cannot come to an agreement with "interested parties" on how to allow users access to their data. It no longer has anything to do with the authorities other than Megaupload's assets were sized, so they can't pay to allow access. This is a money thing, not a law thing.
Well, if you choose to keep no backups of your data and store it all in one place and it's lost, I don't think you can condem an entire technology. And I don't see why other businesses with an entirely different service offering should help.
From a link in FTA: In response, a Justice spokesperson cited the site's FAQ which covered the possibility that their files might one day be lost or inaccessible: "This is still an ongoing matter," the spokesperson told Ars. "It is important to note that Megaupload clearly warned users to keep copies of any files they uploaded. Megaupload.com expressly informed users through its Frequently Asked Questions ('FAQs') and its Terms of Service that users have no proprietary interest in any of the files on Megaupload’s servers, they assume the full risk of complete loss or unavailability of their data, and that Megaupload can terminate site operations without prior notice."
If not then they are naive. Politicians are the clowns that have their thumb on every aspect of your life. Your puny credit card is nothing compared to their relationships with big banks and wall street and lobbyists and donors.
And devices are getting so small that you have to wonder whether, if we want any foorm of interaction, we are on the edge of small enough. Now capacity and power, pile it on.
That sounds a lot like a "640K ought to be enough for anybody" statement. Without reducing the size of the components that additional capacity and power will be the same size or larger. You've arbitrarily chosen "now" as the time for your relevation. Thank you for not saying "small enough" 30 years ago when we were still amazed a phone could be portable and stylish with their own bag and shoulder strap.
Paragon and Shadowprotect use MS VSS for hot backups (and unlike Acronis don't monkey with Windows' drivers). They also convert their backups into virtual images for, well, anything you would use a VM for. With Virtualbox on my kid's Mac I load Windows so they can play their old games. Probably time for Bootcamp.
Agreed and not sure why you posted AC. Anyway, substitute "another hard drive" for RAID and the light comes on. A backup is a copy. As long as you understand the limitations it can be quick and dirty protection.
The FLA found few safety violations, noting that the company had already dealt with problems like blocked fire exits and defective protective gear.
The FLA found that many workers at the Foxconn factories want to work even more overtime, so they can make more money. Foxconn told the FLA that it will raise hourly salaries to compensate workers for the reduced hours.
Heerden said that it's common to find workers in developing countries looking for more overtime, rather than less.
"They're often single, they're young, and there's not much to do, so frankly they'd just rather work and save," he said. The auditors examined one years' worth of payroll and time records at each factory, conducted interviews with some workers and had 35,000 of them fill out anonymous surveys.
Apple has started tracking the working hours of half a million workers in its supply chain, and said that 89 percent of them worked 60 hours or less in February, even though the company was ramping up production of the new iPad. Workers averaged 48 hours per week.

Undercover Clippy? God help us...
>complaints about malware aren't one of them
So the ones that raid your contacts and send the information to persons unknown are fine?
No, but who could have imaged the apps below would harvest your contacts! It's almost like they were built specifically to share information.
Foursquare
Path
Instagram
Facebook
Twitter for iOS

Seems legit.
They rejected the treaty on the ground that they're the United States, and nobody's forcing them to give up their nukes. They just couldn't say that.
Well, considering the US has been giving them up for a long time now and is at last count 8,500, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

Go and fetch the parts you are currently missing.
Careful. If the OP reads from right to left she won't have the time nor desire to build the media center.
DLNA sucks donkey dick.
Hey, slow down. We're talking about building it, not what we're going to watch on it. But since you brought it up is it available on Blu -ray?

Scope creep. Looks like someone lost the SOW.

Ummm... You were wrong the first time, too.
Hybrid desktop/Metro browsers
If an app goes both ways does that make it Metrosexual?

I was thinking more of the $499 or more iOS device.

If by "future" you mean "headlines we've already seen a number of times", then yes. The CC infrastructure has been breached a number of times.
Or you could have RTFA from March 30th.

Like the others, it worked for me, too. Dumb question unless you ask it for every solution posted here.
Agreed and not sure why you posted AC. Anyway, substitute "another hard drive" for RAID and the light comes on. A backup is a copy. As long as you understand the limitations it can be quick and dirty protection.
I use RAID 0 so my backups are FAST!
Spin can go a lot of different ways.

Not to worry. The "safe" levels will be raised as soon as they can issue their "does not cause immediate injury" press release.
