Yes, smartphones are usually in men's pockets or women's purse. If the VENDOR secretly activated those cameras, they'll likely see pure black. If glasses secretly activate, they'll see what people are seeing.
In any case, I expect to see "no google glasses" signs appearing in banks, geek's house, etc soon.
Indeed. My boot image (initrd) is xz compressed. If I use no compression, it takes longer to boot since it need more HDD read time, and decompressing is faster.
Mostly, more seeders are needed for the kinds of torrents that *aren't* seeded a whole lot. Usually, it's some obscure pirated album/game/anime that hardly anyone knows about. Ubuntu is popular enough not to have this issue.
Yeah, obscure stuff like Game of Thrones is the only stuff that needs seeding. That's why I reach a 10x ratio in only a few hours.
Honestly, why? If you reproduce with a close relative, there's a higher chance of some genetic flaws showing up. But just having [protected] sex with a distant cousin won't result in anything nasty. Heck, not even your sister would be an issue (unless you get here pregnant). This used to be shuned upon because sex = kids. This isn't true anymore nowadays, since we have pills, condoms, etc. It's just inhereted taboo.
I'm pretty sure you have that backwards. I can get any and all of my data easily from Google - I cannot do the same with my years of data on my Facebook account. Sure, they have this nice little "archive" button in your account settings... but I've never been able to actually download my account archive from Facebook. And MSN/Live/Whatever branding they have now is far from dead - with Hotmail having around 300 million active users. Yahoo is around the same boat (email wise) with around 280 million active users.
And Facebook doesn't care? They switched everyone's email address to default to their username@facebook.com email system. If you don't want this you have to change it manually. Please tell me more how Google is trying to lock you in - at least Google provides a choice, Facebook just forces you to do whatever they want.
Incorrect, if I create a Google Account with my email (me@domain.com), it creates a google talk account for me@domain.com, so XMPP federation breaks to my XMPP server. The same happens if I create a Google Apps account. So if I want a google account, it can't be with en email associated to my personal xmpp account. Recently, google disable CalDAV, an internet standard for sharing calendars, yes another lock-in on their behalf. Anyone not-using a google account will notices how google is slowly becoming more and more incompatible with the the ouside world day after day.
Not really, they're different things. Some WMs use GTK to draw window decorations, so, from some perspective, you might say it's higher level. To be precise, they're different things, not higher or lower level.
Oh, that's right--weren't they too busy trying to create and hype up their own proprietary "Internet" at the time or something? The Microsoft Network? That damn passing fad... it just won't go away!
Samba seems to have prevailed for the local network though, sadly.
Regrettably, windows will only update itself, and not installed applications (GP mentions flash and java), since there are not repositories from which to update.
Vendor lock-in, monopolistic practices, and treaties with big corporations have kept it #1, not marketing or PR. Prior to windows 7, I don't think I ever saw a windows-related ad.
I never had a Yahoo account (though my geocities account became a yahoo account - which I deleted circa 2004). MSN has been dead for almost 6 or 7 years. Since I live outside USA, I've yet to meet someone who uses AOL.
Most of those services have very little userbase outside USA - which means very little userbase in total. About 90% of the people I know use facebook. Only a handfull don't. Around 50% of the people I know have google accounts. I have only a facebook account (no google account).
The difference between facebook and google, is that google makes it hard for you to use you own email, while facebook doesn't care. Google tries to replace all your "useful" stuff, locking you in, while facebook is way more expendable.
If you don't want someone accumulating endless personal data, those are the only two giant you need to worry about.
In the far worst case, you can still open the browser for them. That's what I do (since I don't use a taskbar or anything similar). It's never been an issue; firefox is pretty much the same on any OS.

You could diff this kernel with the mainline one and see which files are new.

What if I don't want information about my television habits inadvertantly leaking into other parts of my life?
Easy: just use software you can trust on your smartphone.

Not outside USA, AFAIK.
800k apps designed to be used on a touchscreen device, so you'll mostly be unusable on a Ouya.
At the most optimistic, Wayland is still one or two years away from mainstream use. Even then, most apps will run under the rootless X server.
X will finally disappear if and when all apps upgrade to GTK3 or QT5 (which might be never).
ArchLinux already has GTK3 and QT5. Lots of apps use the former. I don't see wayland anywhere near replacing X yet.
Wayland is going to be the best thing to happen Linux ever! This is what's going to make Steam games smooth,
Once we convince Value to port Steam to wayland, that is.
make graphical lags and glitches nonexistent,
Huh? What are you talking about? I see no such thing on X.
and set the stage for better graphics drivers from graphics card venders! I'm stoked! Can't wait for this to go mainstream!
Graphics drivers need to be moved lower level. But yes, I think wayland would contribute greatly to this.

As an employee, it's my role to do the job required. If my employer fails to provide adequate resources, I'll probably fail to do my job.
It's a sad day for web developer all around the world.

There are USB floppy drives. Until about 5 years ago, plenty of HP servers included them, along with the SATA drivers for windows XP.
Good luck trying to trick a DOS user into clicking a link or finding holes in DOS's (inexistant) network stack.
I came back several years later and there still aren't any security holes
Regrettably, windows will only update itself, and not installed applications (GP mentions flash and java), since there are not repositories from which to update.
After I deleted the file I couldn't boot anymore, so I couldn't forward the message to any of my contacts. :(
FWIW, in 2013, there have been 73 CVEs for Linux, 41 for Windows XP and 47 for Windows 7.
