While I don't exactly agree about the economic competitiveness of PV, you are right in that it's pointless to shoot a solar cell into orbit when it already works fine on the ground. Granted, there's the advantage of pointing directly towards the Sun at all time with no night and no clouds. That can give you a production that's 8-10 times more, not counting the losses of beaming. So until shooting a PV into orbit becomes cheaper than buying 9 more, this idea is pretty useless.
On the other hand, this makes it possible to conduct pretty much any business, no matter how official, from the comfort of your home. This is a very useful tech when implemented right, no need to get all paranoid about it.
Rising oil prices are ruining the traditional American lifestyle. Americans today have to actually get out of their cars to see a movie. Maybe a few decades from now they will have to eat in restaurants instead of drivethroughs. How tragic.
There's a tradeoff between security and speed. Android have chosen speed since most apps using a RNG are just games that don't care much about the quality. I guess the philosophy is that apps that rely on cryptographically strong random numbers will make their own RNG or use a third-party one.
At this point, I think that's pretty much the least of their worries. For example, I doubt they have any solution to the problem of how to actually get humans to Mars.
You can achieve a similar effect using user CSS in Opera, although the dumbing down has also started here. I don't think switching to Chrome would help, they are the ones who started the minimalist trend in the first place.
In the Manning case, technology is relevant. There is no way he would've been able to photocopy that amount of information. The case shows the very real danger of switching to digital without considering the security implications. Furthermore, what Manning did had quite a big impact, the volume of the leak more than explains the harsh charges, there's no need to blame it on the 'hacker scare'.

trying to bait the US and Russia into WW3. It could be the greatest troll ever, but hopefully the yanks are smarter than that.
Because if it's as imprecise as phones then it's useless as a watch.

Doesn't matter, it's negative resistance so you'll get back more than you put in.
Those things won't come without a working economy, for which infrastructure like internet connection is a necessity.
Stealing CC numbers is easy, getting out the money without getting caught is the hard part.

It may be too low, but it's still high enough that no AI has ever come close to passing it.
Wouldn't these things mess up the reception?
Should've switched to IPv6!
Then put a PLC interface on them, wireless is badly suited for this.

The biggest victims are the consumers of Sony.
More like a meme generator. I hope they won't release this beast on the Internet.
Every AI is written by a human. What's your point?
You can't patent math.

Fukushima is an old BWR, nuclear energy has moved quite a lot since then.
It doesn't have to be inconvenient, Opera allows me to turn off Javascript based on a whitelist or blacklist.
Wasn't TOR set up and funded by the US gov? Did they change their mind or was it always just a honeypot?
They already have an internet filter so that argument won't work.

People in power rarely get that high without some smarts.
