One day someone will hack windows update, replace the windows update code... and then we're all fked.
I can see this going horribly wrong when people figure out how to hack your router, inject code during your boot sequence by redirecting the windows destined boot request. Oh... and blueray got hacked, dont say you couldnt crack the proposed encryption mechanism.
Apple does not need other vendors to be successful with BLE.
All apple needs is to streamline the effectiveness of cooperation between users within the Apple ecosystem. They control the entire ecosystem - head to toe -, unlike google, hp, sony, etc.
Its success should be measured against Firewire. While Firewire might have been a great technology, it was just a peripheral technology. BLE has the opportunity to streamline interaction between different _people_.
I'd guess they'll launch something like paypal and then enable person-person transactions and become one of the biggest single banks in history.
Minor uses in Access Control, sharing documents, playlists and music.
At least with Google+ you will be able to leave with _everything_ in your profile and upload it into that wonderful "open and decentralised" platform.
On a bright note.... Due to Google's previous blunders - with Buzz and wifi packet capture - they are having their policies audited for the next 20 years.
Having been to Thailand's Pantip computer market, when you purchase a computer there is a specialized department that installs any software they have available for free.
When you browse some stores, there are plenty of movies you can purchase that are copies.

You are correct in your need for facts. I have overstated "significantly" without comparative research but I strongly believe that it would contribute to the bottom line of debt and profit.
Your answers are focused too much on just computer games. DRM will focus on all intellectual property from documents, to music, movies and computer software.
I still believe that people should pay for a product and corporates should be fair in their pricing. Two ideals that are commonly ignored in the pursuit of material stuff (jetski, fast car, etc). If a person does not buy it then they should not use it.
I wouldn't want "Beggers in Spain" but neither would I want theft of intellectual property. I definitely would not want to become a police state trying to enforce rights over intellectual property.
DRM is something that is going to evolve whether it affects them or not.
Imagine... every pirated movie and every pirated software in asia/eurasia/south america were paid....
What would happen to the US trade deficit and what would happen to happen to US debt... it would be significantly decreased.
By moving from manufacturing to computer software/media the involved countries hurt themselves because it is easy to bypass their protection.
The DRM used today may not be great but its evolving for better or for worse and hopefully in about 20 years time there might be something less intrusive.
Living in Africa, one of the biggest problems is corruption.
Corruption removes funds from coffers that assist people and businesses. Corruption destroys the free market and prevents the most effective or efficient businesses from succeeding.
One of the keys to Africa will be sustainable living. With such huge divides between the "haves" and "have nots", corruption grows through envy and family preservation.
Logic might follow that today we are rich, tomorrow and tomorrow we might not have a job, therefore take as much as we can because - we can.
When society is balanced and prosperous, all boats rise. I cannot say that any of the ideas tackle sustainable living for the "current government employees".
I agree with Obama's current decisions to protect the information from release. We have no doubt that the information exists however what it will serve is to dishearten good people who work in those agencies.
If anything, Presedent Bush is accountable for his hard decisions and not the people in those agencies. The people in those agencies should not feel Betrayed by the next president when their previous President is accountable.
The good thing good is that that Obama is not condoning torture.
Like any biography or true story there is usually no single grand ending because it is based on historic events that is based upon the rise and fall of many different characters. Each character has a story and we are taken through this by the author.
Submarines and gunboats running windows could easily have their network infected and will all be subject to zero-day vulnerabilities which is what these advanced botnets are starting to take advantage of.
With the possibilitiy of the power grid being infiltrated, it highlights that you need little more than a USB memory stick on an internal network to be infected.
They spent the money to digitize them and I am sure that someone else can digitize the same books... they did not burn the books did they? Is everyone else just lazy?
I think that the real question you pose is who has legal independent jurisdiction over the unclaimed books. Publishers will obviously complain because they have financial motivation.
I agree that information can be abused by authorities but I agree with the authorities that any open society is more vulnerable to attack.
Police need an information trail if only they can find their way back to the origin of the threat.
There are some crazies out there on both sides of the equation that cannot be reasoned with. Good foreign policy is going to help but it will not prevent.
Half of the Middle East is controlled by religious organisations and where Europe was in the middle ages where society was controlled by religeous organizations. Europe progressed and when the middle east progresses then we will not have problems.
The problem with civil liberties is that you don't remove them over night, you change them slowly one at a time, over 20 years and erode the very freedom that defines us. This we must find a way to protect.
If you are the weak point in the company then it is a problem that they have to resolve without you.
Give them 2 weeks. The company must run in a position that can absorb pressure and they must do what is necessary to ensure that they can never get hurt by loosing an employee.
They are probably running with too few staff and it is not prudent to run a business like that.
Better, cheaper and safer than a hosepipe with a person strapped to it traveling at 200kph on a boat.
Someone might enhance it somehow to increase range and height potentially making a rescue platform more flexible and deployable than a conventional firetruck.

Well it will be a very short time until someone hacks that site to come out with billions of points.
Honeypot?
Oh yeah, enter patent lawsuits from visa, mastercard and paypal.

Is Facebook being audited for their blunders?

First article i've actually read fully before posting...
Under emergency kit I was expecting to find at least a shotgun listed.
This is good... no, its GREAT!
This will produce a clear and decisive list of patents that must be challenged by VP8.
The alternative is to produce an eco-system around VP8 which will be shattered and hung out to dry in 10 years time.

The closest is "better education".
Great... 28 days later...
The biggest problem with today's code is yesterday's code.
If you want to be productive you must have good code to begin with.
Its very difficult to start doing things correctly when you're working with code that is a ball of mud.

It is a fantastic retelling of "War of the Roses". England, 1455. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wars_of_the_Roses

Sell the title to id Software.
If anything, they have the best chance to deliver.
I would probably be similar to microsoft releasing a linux distro but the game would probably be good.
I'm sure these guys are vulnerable..

So to answer your question - I'd call the US and Israel rational.
Your argument lacks an understanding of context.
Religion freedom kept Europe and the western world stuck in the dark ages. The middle east is still stuck in its own form of dark ages.
Until rational political thought overwhelms irrational political thought the whole middle east is going to stay in its little quagmire.
Rational people are scare shytless of irrational people.
I don't mind rational people with nuclear weapons but irrational people, whether christian or muslim... no-thanks.

Is this going to replace/augment the firetruck with a more flexible and maneuverable rescue platform?
Who says that it needs to be connected to a boat.
So put a camera on top of a telescopic rod.
