Get back to us when they cure cancer and end world hunger. I'll be more than happy to hail them. Until then, that's just a bunch of hyperbolic bullshit.
Like I said, it sounds familiar. They were accused and denied it, just like this case. Furthermore, after they claimed to have stopped it they continued to fight in court claiming, as they are right now, that what they were/are doing is perfectly legal. The "no laws were broken" defense.
It's okay. You don't need to create a conspiracy theory to cover up your lack of knowledge about the protocol. I have stated one simple fact: WoWLAN has to be in standby. You know why? Because WoL can receive power via ethernet in order to get the wakeup signal. Until WiFi can provide enough power via RF to keep the chip running and also stay connected to the SID, it can't work without standby power being on. Yes. I know. Facts are bummer. But keep trying to make yourself feel okay by exaggerating and mud flinging.
You're thinking of WoL - not WoWLAN. WoWLAN can't operate in anything but a standby mode [which the Nest seems to be in] and even then is problematic due to routing issues (although less problematic in a typical home network).
Then why is the camera on? It doesn't need to be so there is some reason why it's still on when you tell it to turn off.
How would you turn it back on remotely if it's completely powered down? At least some part of it needs to still be up and running. From all reports, the camera isn't recording anything. That said, I think the LED should in line with the power for the camera so there's no question.
No. In his English he is capable of comprehending the use of the indefinite article. Hint: it's not necessary in that particular instance. Apparently your an English has a different rules.
In as much as I get your point, my point was that some self-modifying virus written to jump between cell phones will never become self aware regardless of definition. It's the same type of thinking that assumed that a big enough neural net would magically equal a human brain.
Impossible! Refactoring one larger component into multiple, smaller components makes software bug free! An AC said so! And I'm using lots of exclamation points, so I must be right!
In as much as shotguns can fire slugs, I think most of the backlash against the chicken little comments here is because only a complete ignoramus (and quite likely someone that doesn't own a weapon nor possibly ever fired one) would assume someone tried taking out a flying object with a bullet rather than shot, and yet they're the people raising the alarm about how dangerous a precedent this is. Now, are there idiots that might try that? Sure. Is it likely they'd so because of this court case? I doubt it.
It reads like the comments section on a Facebook post wherein people decry the dangers of the anonymous internet and extol the virtues of censorship and government snooping.

Did the summary change since you posted your question?
Shhh. You're addressing a genius. Show some respect.
They should look into offering internet services at public libraries and that kind of thing.

I seem to recall a similar response when accused of collecting WiFi data.
So you're saying that you think Ted Turner is behind it?

Shoutout to the November winner!
That was an amusing way of confirming taustin's opinion.
STEM cells. Duh.
As an aside, I enjoy your comments.

Do we want to take bets as to how long before it becomes self-aware?
Put me down for "Never". Unfortunately, I'll also never see the payout.

I primarily use it for dialing since it's faster.

And then there'll be drones armed with nukes followed by dogs and cats living together! Someone, please think about the children.
Sigh. Too much time on reddit. Commenting here seems more painful the more I use anything other than /.
