Apart from things like Dropbox, I have never met anyone who has fully embraced cloud computing and storage. I currently own a Mac, but have no intention of using iCloud, as I, as many of my friends and collegues do, believe in keeping our own personal data on our own personal machines.
I have always seen cloud computing to be a rather hyped up without and real take-up on the market. I can see cloud computing being a bubble, with it about to pop in a few years time.
This doesn't recreate lost data, It merely orders randomised data. The blurring of the picture is caused by the movement of the camera, and this photoshop plugin can only unblur motion blurring. It is impossible for it to work on unfocussed images, as the data is indeed completely lost there. It is entirely possible that if you can create an algorithm that can essentially backtrack the camera movement, you can get a pretty accurate representation of the image. It will never be a 100% perfect representation, but the margin of error is almost completely negated by the actual process of unblurring.
It happens in physics, so why not in digital imagery?
So, from my understanding, light has nothing to do with the generation of power here, but relies solely on heat. Does this mean that we could create generators that don't require steam turbines, and merely convert heat directly into electricity? (or heck it, use both?)
The opinion that Jailbreaking is "stupid" is exactly that, an opinion. There are many reasons to jailbreak, and in reality, you're only more vulnerable than unjailbroken iDevices to viruses if you don't change your default SSH passwords[1]. If you don't do that, then it's you who's stupid.

Exactly. Fallout 3; Fallout New Vegas and Oblivion were 3 of the best _long_ games i've seen in a long time. Plenty of replay value, plenty of things to do, a compelling and gripping story, and very little "on rails" stuff (unlike L.A Noire, in which the car chases felt like you were just playing a cutscene).
You just don't see enough properly _long_ games anymore. It's easy to have plenty of replay value in open-ended games like Simcity 4 and Sims 3, since they're designed to be played over and over again, but games like Fallout 3 and New Vegas, and Oblivion show us that games developers can make, and sell, truly EPIC games to gamers, and the gamers will play them over and over again.
As soon ans developers take that on board, the better. Games are not getting longer, they're getting shorter, and as a gamer, i want to get my moneys worth!

Seriously, who in Apples massive marketing department decided that "The new iPad" is a good name for a product?
What's the iPad 4 going to be called? "The newer iPad"? Seriously guys, it's a terrible name.

It was covered much earlier than that before

That's why the article said that it's $20billion AT RETAIL. Of course Sprint is going to get them cheaper. You can't turn a profit any other way.
You're right. Someone can't do maths. 20,000,000,000 / 30,000,000 = 666.67...
I just enrolled for a Computer Science degree today.
And I bought my first ever Mac today as well. At least I bought it during Steve's reign though...

No, but it will have support dropped in 2014, meaning that hackers and script kiddies will target it even more ;)
I run BeOS. I'm pretty sure most hackers and script kiddies are not going to bother trying to hack my 10 year old OS :)
