The advantage is that all of the Google maps-based map pages you see embedded at various sites will now be configured the same way, and any pins you've stuck in or any other notes you've made will now be consistent across sites. The disadvantage is that now sites don't have a means of utilizing a Google map without their customers being tracked by Google.
They haven't been signed in to Google. This change will force users of pages that utilize Google maps to auth to Google in order to display the result.
Funny, I discovered Youtube ads had invaded my FireTV YouTube client after updating last night. I was also previously unaware youtube was forcing ads. Adblock FTW.
Anybody with a brain knows this has been going on for years.
You are a WIT, my friend. Have you considered stand-up comedy? Good thing you posted anonymously, because that kind of blazing display of wordsmithery is likely to make you some enemies.
Since Xbox Live and all siloed online gaming is a means by which we are tracking the gifted and talented drone pilots and Dalek operators of the future, this is a mission-critical breach. We need to get computers out of the hands of these hacker terrorists, or else parents might get wise.
I'm not sure this is true. We need to research this further. It's only 99 percent obvious, so clearly, we need more research. Where do we apply for a grant?
Your title implies that there are two sides to every story. There are not. There are seven sides to most stories, with some stories acquiring four additional sides when no one is thinking about them. The remaining stories that don't fit this model almost without exception have 3.6 sides.
If you accept quantum theory (and just try to disprove it) then the perceptible universe is cannonically isomorphic to a subset of mathematics. If cannonically isomorphic isn't close enough to identity for you, I'd like an explanation of why not. (Well, except that several different things can have aspects that are cannonically isomorphic to the same thing...but perhaps that's just a way of saying that they have certain features that are essentially identical.)
Wow, you kids keep making the availability error. If you're listening to a Creative MP3 player and I'm playing a portable Genesis, who needs to get off whose lawn? 1998 indeed. Don't make me pull rank.
What is it to be "lawned," my memey friend? If it's got something to do with "git off my lawn," you'd better make sure the Creative Nomad is older than the Sega one first.
Apple needs to apply this to the MacOS as well. We should be able to run all legacy applications back to MacOS 1.0 and frankly iOS and MacOS should be merged such that we can run applications on either. A lot of people aren't upgrading Mac hardware because we need access to older data which is used by older applications that Apple no longer supports.
We need Legacy that Just Works.
Wow. END USER ALERT. END USER ALERT. This is Slashdot. NOTHING JUST WORKS.
People keep mentioning the Nomad. We're talking about the portable Sega Genesis with the built-in screen, right? Because I refuse to believe you're talking about something else. Personally, I like my Nomad, but I've noticed that with EA carts, you have to put a piece of paper or cardboard in behind the cartridge to get the contacts to touch properly. Otherwise, NHL '94 for the win. No way I'm playing NHL '94 on an iWatch.
I don't think we're going to stop the progression you are describing. The method by which it is achieved may not be the one being discussed by UCLA and Cisco, but it's clear now that what slashdotters call "the Internet" is doomed and has been since all of those rebellions in northern africa/mideast a couple years ago. What most end-users call "the Internet" is just getting started, but certainly the application of it is as a control and monitoring system against dissent rather than a catalyst promoting freedom of information. The point where we have some hope of rallying the population to activism is the point where content providers and governments try to do things like completely disallow offline storage media. But not before then, because the population just plain doesn't understand what they have or what is at stake.
Coward -- I get the feeling you're going somewhere interesting here, but the metaphor isn't quite working. Would you mind spoon feeding what you're getting at here, without putting on any kind of satire/parody of what I said? Are you saying moderation is equivalent to jail time? Freedom of speech equivalent to freedom to move about public space? Freedom of speech "invented" by someone? Too many things going on at once to make your point clearly, at least to me.
Moderation censors opinions contrary to the majority of the participants in a particular forum. This frustrates those who need to communicate critical points, which will produce an entirely new set of negative feelings and may even break the behavioral hooks that make social networking appealing.
...seems to me somebody should address the question that was asked. My personal favorites have NOTHING to do with my answer, though many of you will find that unbelievable. From my experience:
Jenga Darts Wii Sports (Wii) Mario Tennis (N64) Mario Kart 64
Obviously, that's not an option for this person. What prompts you to type this and click preview, and then click submit, without considering this? Do you think you're the one who's stating an obvious point? You're not. You're the one who is proving he doesn't think before he types.

Only hipsters use the term "hipster" derisively. It's fun to watch.
They claim that the best looking man only received 38 messages in four months. That's totally untrue. I received 43 messages.
$45 unlimited. nuff said.
umm...excelsior?
How did we confirm the luckification of these mice? Are the mice in my lab as lucky as the ones in this experiment?

It seems to me that U2 and Apple are conspiring to piss us off.

Let's face it, we all agree with the assertion I'm about to make. Everyone does.

Yeah, not bad. Kind of patience-trying, though. Lots of waiting.
