"Apple Plans" you say? More like "some analyst with no more trial balloons left on the the iPhone plans to gin up interest in their analysis" I think there are evil dogs in the forest causing random failures on my hard drive. When is that going to be front page news? Cuz it'[s about as connected to fact as this post.
"What do you want to be when you grow up, Jonny?" "I want to piss people off by throwing a big ugly monkey wrench into their life's work." "Hmm... well there's the IRS, Jews for Jesus, or, well, there's this third thing you could try, but it would never work..."
"All you have to know is that Microsoft could come knocking on your door as soon as you boot Windows Vista for the first time if you consider the system's computer information harvested. Microsoft will get your "Internet protocol address, the type of operating system, browser and name and version of the software you are using, and the language code of the device where you installed the software." But all they really need is your IP address."
Um, dude - don't tell ANYONE, but every site you surf to knows your IP address and then they could also come and knock on your door!
Slow news day for the evil empire? I hear they have no Moxie(R) in the vending machines in Redmond - a conspiracy, I tell you!
it's an amalgam of two people with an axe to grind about ATT, notes from some bloggers, and the non-starter about Apple not being ready for enterprise, which Apple is not going for, at least this round.
A colleague of mine was a submariner who had this story. They were down for an extended dive, and when they surfaced, they would send a short, dense burst of communications and data on a very powerful microwave uplink - get up, send fast, get back down. It was a very powerful signal - and they would surface to a depth that would get the periscope and the antenna above water, do a quick scan for surface vessels, send the burst and dive. One day they did this and saw thru the periscope there was a gull on the antenna mast. So they would dive to submerge the antenna, the bird should fly away. They resurfaced, and the bird perched on the antenna. They did it again. Bird comes back. Third time. Fourth. Can't shake the bird. Finally the OD tells them "punch it" and send the microwave burst signal. He said the bird just keeled over and dropped into the water.
pop? imap? authentication? i'm guessing iphone supports all this. haven't heard if vpn is doable, but not impossible. after that, the cam is a problem, so ban it like every other cam phone.
With a little bit of digging, I got the name, address and phone of two of the people who got to use my debit card three years ago. One bought a Nextel cell phone, the other paid their Progressive insurance bill. I called Progressive and escalated this, and asked them what they were going to do. The answer? "I guess next time she'll have to pay cash."
Make sure you pack the RAM in those tiny styrofoam loose beads - that should keep the delicate pins from being bent.
This reminds me of Steve Roberts' story about setting up a web storefront for his nomadness stuff. He tried to explain to the bank who handled the merchant account what they were doing - selling things on web pages. The bank person asked if he could fax all those pages over to them so they could understand what he was doing.
I'm not saying there should be no restrictions, but I'm not sure we're there yet.
Google Street View is a snapshot. It's updated once in a blue moon. If anyone can track me from it, I'd be astonished.
It produces data, not information.
Your appearance in criminal court (or any other court) is a matter of public record, already free and unrestricted on the internet.
These objections would apply to all the passers-by in YouTube videos, and there's no hue and cry about that. Everyone just thinks it's kewl and let's all laugh at the poor people who got in the line of a camera phone.
You should be far more worried about the discount cards you already have for your grocery and drug store.
...this thing could run on WiFi alone. It's a cell phone first, after all.
The specs call for WiFi wireless data, and I don't see a Skype or iChat icon.
You don't want this running without EDGE level data, and without a plan you'll go broke(r).
Store manager? Cingular has three sorts of sellers: actual company stores, Cingular branded stores that are really Joe Shmoe's cell phone store, and resellers who happen to also sell Cingular. You'll get three different answers from these three types of staff if you so much as ask what color the sky is. I found this out trying to upgrade to a specific phone. "We just don't have them in stock right now." "It's sold online only." and "That phone isn't even manufactured anymore, no one has it."
But that level of reliability never stopped the mob from going charlie foxtrot based on a rumor, so why should it now.
They're walking down the street. Everyone can see them. They're already on 15 cameras a day according to recent numbers, and everyone has a cell camera. This is like the HIPAA laws in this country. Besides my reflux, I now have writer's cramp from filling out the HIPAA forms acknowleding that they told me they won't tell anyone what I have. As my doctor said, what is he going to do, run out into the parking lot and start yelling "You won't believe what JP has!" Plus, when you sit in the waiting room and anyone over 55 starts a conversation, it's all about what's wrong with them, and turns into a mass symptom and storytelling party.

Mr. Taco, Sir? Is there a way we can mod the Borg-Bill icon "underrated"?
I was afraid the only cure for fear was death.
So this development means the only thing we have to fear is... ???
Dead as a doorknob, but yeah, otherwise intact.

Uh, yeah - this was about a year of Bryan Allen, Paul, Tyler, and Parker MacCready's time before the Gossamer Condor left the ground.
Please tell me 2.0 will have a cage around the fan.

Apple quakes in boots.
Just wanted to keep the pirate mood going.
Pro-FOSS is one thing. Anti-every-other-model is another.
Surely you mean "unit volume"

You don't need to come up with reasons they may look like Jim next door and land in NM.
First you have to prove there is one. No one has.
can the cost of putting a remote control boot, sensors, transmitters etc. really cheaper than losing some carts?

it's like nothing else, and probably not the power hog the post implied, for this distance you don't need repeaters - and TFA mentions battery power.
Police issued huuuuuuge magnets.
About their patch time being 29 days to OSX's 46 and hundreds for linux?
Internet or no, that's still pretty damned irritating.
OK it's two words.
Or really a word-and-a-half.
Oh wait, now *I'm* irritating.

Those are very loud arguments.

I mind having to fill out a form from scratch - every time I visit the office - acknowledging that they told me they'll obey the law.
I was also pointing out how ironical it might be to apparently also swear the front end to secrecy when we know how people blab their maladies anyway.
My work here is done. The next 30 messages will dispute the usage of "ironical".
