  1. The question is, why does an output device need such rights? How much "user created content" does a couple of lcd's positioned in front of the eyes create? The only thing that should get sent to the internet is some voice data to communicate with others.

    It does not help that the article in question has both spelling and grammatical errors.

    Our finance department gets this often, for realistic sums, and we do a lot of business with China. We now have a policy that these transfers must be authorized in person.

  7. Probably better then having to constantly explain to his shareholders why he authorized a large transfers to random individuals.

    The ACLU has been quite clear on their interpretation of the 2nd Amendment (a collective right not an individual right). An opinion that was shared by TPTB up until Heller.

  10. You actually found a step 2? Bravo sir, Bravo.

  11. The case was dropped on appeal by the fbi, no precedence was set.

    "Nothing's stopping them from supporting the Vive"
    Since the Rift is a Valve creation I am pretty sure it will work with SteamVR games. I mean you would have to assume they have support baked into the SteamVR runtime.

    IF they unlock the phone, they will probably find less then that. Remember he had 2 phones and the iPhone was supplied by his employer, San Bernardino, Calif.. Why anyone thinks he kept anything of importance on the work phone is beyond me.

    "Two smashed cellphones, both relatively new, were recovered from a garbage can near one of the crime scenes, law enforcement officials said.
    A computer found at the shooters’ home was missing a hard drive. Investigators suspect it was removed and perhaps destroyed."

    Do they think he really had anything on the iphone when he had taken measures to destroy evidence?
