The Judge should rule, not only against Samsung, but every other device manufacturer. The end result, since all fucking phones are squar'ish. All smartphones by all manufacturers will be banned. Apple will be the sole seller of smartphones in the U.S.
Then, we turn around, sued Apple for a monopoly and break it into 20 separate companies that will spend the next 50 years reunifying.
Do the world some good, next time, target the U.S. Patent Office, Mosanto, and the Federal Reserve.
It'll be extremely awkward, we'll find it so hard to hate you. It'll be like the time the KKK counter-protested Westboro Baptists leaving us all going WTF, how did we wind up on the same side of the line as those !@#$s
Is we coded our climate change computer models NOT to respond to changes in sun. And therefore, when we adjust the intensity of the sun there is minimal effect.
And yet, we know that even sunspots and minor things such as that have a pronounced affect on Earth's climates.
Computer Models != Real Life (at least not on the scale of estimating a planetological scale.
I have a Venstar wifi connected thermostat. It's not as fancy as the Nest. Doesn't learn your habits. (It also doesn't decide you don't need heat on Mondays due to Veteran's/Memorial/Columbus/etc Day.) But I can access it from Android and iPhones and adjust the heat from anywhere in the world that I have internet access. Leave on vacation, forget to turn down the heat. No problemo. Hour from arriving from home, bump up the heat so it's nice and toasty.
Computers, manufactured in China. Had a defect that led large number of machines to crash and brick. These were sold to the NSA. Who pointed the flaw out to the manufacturer. And received an update, and a scathing email addressing the NSA sysadmin for having updated all the machines with the wrong BIOS firmware.
I mean, Russia contacted us twice. That was an international conversation. And thus was monitored by the NSA. Sure the FBI, and CIA (both of whom Russian contacted) dropped the ball. But so did the NSA.
That case alone proved that this is not about terrorism but populace control. If you can't bother monitor those individuals whom another country has deemed a significant threat. Why waste your time monitoring the rest of your populace.
NSA claims to have foiled a cataclysmic cyber threat (likely from China) to exploit a BIOS attack.
First off, there are a number of bios manufacturers, not all will have the same bug. Second, there are numerous bugs still existent. And even when known it is extremely hard to get manufacturers to fix them.
This sounds like the NSA found someone in China using an exploit in a BIOS to hack computers. Alerted the manufacturer who was probably already aware of the fact after numerous Linux users had reported it years ago.

That is, only 60 Americans are currently targeted for clandestine assasination. The rest are all being monitored. One must be mindful of the terminology.;-)
I wonder if they actually have 60 warrants. It'd be funny if they could only show 30 or so, in which case. They'd be busted. Not that being busted makes one iota of difference now a days.
Snowden has shown the incompetance of the NSA. Not only did he betray their trust and make off with millions of incriminating documents. He showed their entire selection process flawed and insecure apparently. If I got this straight, he hacked and stole their exame so that he could qualify for entrance into the NSA.
Well if Snowden is just a stupid twit as the NSA likes to put forth, then anyone could of done this, and the NSA is in really sore shape.
It should of created a $99 ad-on, that would allow the Xbox One to play 360 games. Essentially, all it would be is an Xbox 360 processing core, which would use the already available hard drive, controllers, I/O, and Kinect 2.
I'd wager it'd sell like hot cakes, and be profitable. Because the entire Xbox 360 is now what $150-$200? Minus case, controllers, hard drive, all output components, they should of been able to pull it off.
By that, I mean if they start arresting their CEOs and imprisoning. I'm game for breaking them out. But I wager most prisons use modern electronic locks. So it's more than likely someone will just hack the prison system so they can walk out.
But seriously, NSA, you are dangerously close to being an enemy of the Constitution.
My rifle and my service to said alliance, and the principles by which it stands. Of internet freedom, liberty, justice and the American way. In support of the Constitution and the First Amendment.

This is what happens when you use GWA computer models on your GPS. But the computer models said this part of the ocean would be ice free by now....
Huh...what?
Global Warming, I thought all of the ice was unusually thin and melting? These must of been pretty dumb scientists. :-P
Crap, this post is going to cause all my internet connections to slow down (work, home and cell). Hate when the NSA can't take a joke.

Is a threat to the Constitution. And should be removed from his post.
You mean like the very well documented stations that were out in the boonies and are now next to grocery markets and ware house air conditioner vents?
Ya, probably 20%-40% of those stations in the U.S. are in questionable locations.

I remember a while ago that all the little RSA doodads had to be replaced because they had been breached.
I bet you 10 to 1, it was related to this.
So you're telling me that I should be excited the GSM is now doing what Verizon and CDMA phones did for nearly 15 years now?

NSA is only targeting 60 Americans.....TRUE....
That is, only 60 Americans are currently targeted for clandestine assasination. The rest are all being monitored. One must be mindful of the terminology. ;-)
You and I pay about $5 for a ethernet cable off of Newegg.com, the government pays $150 for that same 6ft cable.
So that $10 million works out to a whopping dozen computer systems at government purchase rates.
I wonder if they actually have 60 warrants. It'd be funny if they could only show 30 or so, in which case. They'd be busted. Not that being busted makes one iota of difference now a days.
Well, we now know who is working for the NSA on global monitoring, don't we?

Yup, you can visit his unmarked grave in the middle of the Arizona desert.

Even Apple got it right on its last cable update. Granted, it only took them like 10 years.
