that all the kids didnt have pocket sized HD video cameras when I was in school - the shit that went on would have been embarrassing for anyone reliving it later...but now, kids cant make mistakes and learn from them without being taunted fr life with the stupid mistake...
Of corse binge drinking and other crazy stuff that hapens at partys is wrong - hense the term mistake...Mistakes should be learning experiences, not stains that follow you around for life...
How can kids be kids with cameras everywhere?
Facebook isnt guilty here, just like guns don't kill people, its the kids that posted that shit that are to blame here...
Fuck the scholarship - Why should the kid be forced to spend that rewarrd cash on education? Hell, a kid with skills like that can get a great job without college more than likely!
Depending on the amount and the state of residence this may be a small claims court case, in which case it would be a slam dunk - and if you do have to go to real court, get the EFF to provide council - thats why they exist...
as I said in another reply in this story, ads were not found on the early days of FM, Cable TV and even iphone apps...give it 18 months, there will be google adsense glass edition - the share holders will revolt if this doesn't happen...
BS, MS and AAPL could do something like this and I would dare say that they both probably have had things like this in their labs for years - I heard speculation of devices like Glass existing in MS research labs 8 years ago - just rumors, but most rumors about MS tend to have a nugget of truth...
Its all about price point, and who will buy it - if they cant productize it in a way that people will like and can afford/justify, they will not go to market. Being that Gogle is an advertising company that uses tech rather than a pure tech company they can make the money up with ads - they say its ad free but so was FM radio at first, so was Cable TV at first and so were apps on the iphone at first...
I have had low vision all my life, I deal with it the way most of us do, thick wyw glasses and regular consultation with my eye doctor - this opens the door for those of us in this position to be unwelcome in business meetings, family gatherings or other places where people dont want to be bugged - sure, the curent model is big and goofy, but the first laptops weighed like 12 LBS too - as this tech becomes more and more indistinguishable people will assume that anyone with glasses has it!
The solution, we need a law that google glass, or anything f that sort, needs to have a visible LED, not just when recording, but whenever t is powered on to indcate that the eyeglasses re not just eyeglasses.
The people doing the hiring probably did something stupid as kids or in college, and given a few years, the kids doing job searches now will b hiring managers and HR people and the system will learn to adapt and what to ignore and what to take seriously...everybody fucks up once in a while but we just put our dirty laundry on youtube now.
Also, What about longevity, if the thing has to phone home, what happens in 20 year when my kids want to mess around with an xbox one they got for $10 at the garage sale next door? long after all the servers are shut down, hell, for all we know, ms and sony may not even exist at that point! what then I ask?!?!
I can still fire up the Playstation (the first one had no numbers after the name kids) and play gran tourismo (again, before the numbers:) ) just like I did in grade school, but kids who get xbox one or PS3 or whatever may not have that same right.
I will buy into the platform that lets me buy and sell used games openly, without paying a tax to the mothership.
I buy maybe 1 or 2 games a year for my xbox 360 and I buy them all used because I play to relax and to me Halo 3, 4, 5, 6 whatever all look pretty much the same, I run, I shoot I am happy. That said, I will ony buy a next gen console that allows me the freedom to do two key things: 1: Loan games to friends, and play games that I am loaned 2: Buy and Sell used games freely without paying a pimp fee to MS/Sony/Nintendo/Activision/EA/whoever
Simple as this: if I cant walk into game stop 30-45 days after a title is released and buy it for ~1/2 new price, and sell my 2-3 year old game back for like $5 to lower that cost a bit more, then I just wont game at all because its too expencive for what it is. Again, I have plenty of disposable income, so it isn't an affordability thing, its a value issue.
This goes all the way up to the top - Back in 09, the administration put out a report saying that veterans are terrorists...This was highly offensive and troubling to many, but it blew over - maybe this will bring this scandal back to the surface...
Just went to ATT.com and my current plan equivalent would be $110, not $120, but the high end unlimited everything** plan you speak of would cost me $140 for 1 single smartphone.
** I have the old unlimited data, I selected the 5gb plan for comparative analysis.
Having bought a new car last year, Isat down with the dealer and made them tell me exactly what each of those ffees were and why I was paying them...It came down to this: $of the $500 in fees, $400 were state government fees of one sort or another, $50 was a processing fee to pay the salary of the team that processes the titles and registrations, saving me a trip to the DMV, so I gladly paid that There was a $ 50 fee for prep - which included cleaning it, filling the tank with gas, checking tire pressure , oil levels and such to make sure nothing was out of whack from the factory, and helping me setup my GPS nav system...
So of the $500 in fees, $400 went to the state, $50 went to the dealer to pay for the time of the staff to deal with the state, and $50 went to prep, of which $40 or so went back to me in the form of topping off the tank, want those dealer added fees to go away? push your state to reform taxation.
I agree that I agreed to the ETF at signing the contract, but I also agreed to pay a fixed and pre established monthly cost for services rendered. They are increasing the cost without revision of the contract - that would nullify it would it not? Or can I simply pay them (Bill Total LESS Amount of new fee) each month and wait till they ding my credit score for non payment of those fees when I switch carriers in a few months...
Many of us on ATT are not stupid at all - Many are grandfathered in on really old plans that they keep letting us carry forward each cycle! I have a plan from the old Cellular One, which became Cingular which much later became ATT Wireless...why on earth would I change when my rate hasnt gone up since 2003 (with the exception of the data package added in like 06)
I pay like $78 per month for what on ATT or VZW now costs about $120 or so - I get a new phone and sign a new contract every two years and they dont ever manke me change when my contract terms expire so...I would be nuts to NOT stay with them, right?
Part of what we pay for with state taxes is an Attorney General who amongst other things, is supposed to stand up for tax paying citizens in these sorts of situations - This is a clear david vs goliath contract law issue and a state AG or two suing these motherfuckrs could help...
I agreed to a particular price, if they can not offer the service and make profit for the price they offered it to me at, its their own bad business decision...
A company that makes and designs chips is better at coding drivers to those chips than a PC maker that just sources those chips as components... Why is this shocking?
There is nothing different between this and the practice of huge companies selling death machines to the militaries of the world, and the occasional non state para military planing a takeover or something - tanks, bomber jets, missiles and so on - how is this any different? the security researchers work to create a product - i.e. a vulnerability, then sell that information, the product of their effort - to a willing customer.
Its a nasty business, you can question the morals and ethics of it, but it really is no different than companies that sell guns and bombs to whatever crackpot thug has a truck full of cash or gold bars...
Will there still be a stand alone MSI for those of us who have multiple PCs to update? Enterprise or not, updates of this nature need to be available to install on non connected PCs, and I would also like to be able to have it on my USB utility drive so I can upgrade customers/family who have Win 8 PCs.
First there is a responsibility of the OS maker to be secure from the beginning, MS got the point - Windows is rock solid out of the box these days (assuming you run Windows Update).
Second: the security hoes that cant be fixed without blocking 3rd party apps should be done by the OS Vendor as a built in (or at least freely available provided by the OS maker) feature. MS gave away Security Essentials for a while and now includes it with Win 8, you can of course disable it easily and / or replace it with another third party AV.
If you make an OS that isn't totally secure or locked down, you should provide an AV. There should be no market for Norton/Symantec
Yes. Android is what it is. Its openness is why it is so popular, and the antivirus in this story is less about a need for security and more about the company trying to expand its market by using a 2 pronged approach. !: scare Android users about the spyware boogie man 2: force bundling their software using the drug dealer model, first hit is free, then pay up mofo!
I am not to much of an android user, so I guess I dont understand how and application can not be removed...I thought android was supposed to be wide open, like Linux - so you are saying there is no way to delete an application if the Android equivalent of an add remove programs entry is not present?

Why are cell phones not covered under public utility law like water, power or land lines?
The power company could ever pull this shit without state legislature approval and/or public PUC hearings.
At this point, there needs to be much tighter regulations since we have for all practical purposes an oligopoly in the USA.
