Its also very hard to remotely jailbreak the phone of another user that you don't have physical access to and expose vulnerabilities such as ssh login.
We need to stimulate a big demand for wild pythons and boas in South Florida. If they became a locavore food, then dealing with their invasion in South Florida would become much easier.
My dislike of Microsoft has nothing to do with the antitrust case (although I will admit that I enjoyed it when they were convicted.)
I dislike Microsoft because they so dramatically lowered users expectations for software and computing. Prior to Microsoft windows and before that MS-DOS, users did not expect software to be a continual fail. In the 70s and early 80s users never expected us to have to reboot our mainframes or minicomputers many times a day and users certainly didn't expect to lose a lot of their work. Microsoft changed all that. By the mid 90s users were conditioned that software was flaky, operating systems were buggy and that they were going to lose their work several times a day. It actually took mobile apps to get users back on the side of computing and software and Microsoft clearly had nothing to do with that.
I'd like to see someone come up with a steganographic RAID-ish storage volume. I'd like a driver that scattered encrypted data throughout my media files but presented that data as an updateable storage volume. It would need enough redundancy to survive the loss of some of the files (hence the RAID-ish part.)
If I could hide writeable encrypted data throughout my iTunes, Photo, Video files and access/update it without actually changing the size, mod dates, etc of the files it would be very handy and reasonably hard to detect.
To me we need clean affordable energy whether Global Warming is real or not. We need cheap energy to keep our economy going and we need our children's children to be able to drink clean water and breathe clean air.
What we really need is a President who will tackle energy with the same kind of committment that JFK gave us for the space program. As a country we invested mightily in the program and the process of getting that man on the moon created huge technical advantages for our nation. As a viable program it all went to crap after we reached that goal but we had already made the gains in technology that propelled us for the next few decades.
A similar effort that yielded clean affordable energy would also yield lots of new technologies. We need that and a coordinated effort by the Federal Government is probably the quickest way to get there. That being said, it cannot just exist as a way to reward the President's supporters and just end up as money stuffed into pockets like Solyndra.
I had several tube 4:3 HDTVs which I purchased for a lot of money in 2000. I am slowly phasing these old 1080i beasts out of my life. One of them took 3 people to lift and carry out.
A generic "business" or "consulting" tax would mean that (for example) lawyers would charge a tax on their services. What are the odds of a law like that passing?
Everything I read points to interaction with MS-Exchange as the culprit.
It may be an Apple bug related to interacting with Exchange, but since Exchange is a proprietary and non-standards compliant interface, such things happen from time to time.
I've experienced better battery life since going to 6.1 on my 4S. Of course I don't (and hopefully won't ever) use Exchange.
Well, I have been on a Mac since they went Intel and I have both Fusion and Parallels. I tend to start one of them occasionally to run Linux and once or twice a month I resume a machine to run IE for local testing for a few minutes.
I can't imagine why a mac user would spend most of their time in Windows unless there was a specific program tying their hands. Even then they can somewhat seamlessly blend it into their OSX desktop.
There are some real advantages to the VM approach. Properly done it reduces or eliminates the need for AV software in the VM and increases the safety of the overall system. There's a reason that almost every security researcher you see runs OSX and uses VMs for testing.
All that being said, I wouldn't spend 100% of my time in a foreign VM on my notebook unless it was all virtualized with a bare metal hypervisor.
I'm running ML I could be very upset but actually, I hadn't noticed the blocking of Java. Perhaps the fact that I have it and Flash (along with a lot of other cruft) disabled in my browsers masked that fact.
Seems like step number one is to stop sending anything with rare earths to Asia to be recycled.
Step 2 would be to try and attract foreign components containing rare earths here to be recycled. If its that important bite the bullet on not-cheap labor and other environmental issues (and develop better processes for doing it.)
At the same time of course, turn the geologists loose to find more.
The most amazing part of the whole AGW movement is that developing remediation technologies is a topic that is almost completely off the table.
For some reason, its fine to plan out lots of new taxes and move money around the planet while simultaneously throttling back selected economies but it is unthinkable to actually work on reasonable technologies that could capture and use carbon.I find it hard to believe that a world that could put a man on the moon in a decade couldn't come up with efficient ways to deal with existing greenhouse gases while developing alternatives to them.
and if the affair was with a subordinate in the CIA?
It was his biographer. Not an employee or subordinate.

Who really cares? His private life is just that...Private. If we have determined that bad judgment disqualifies a person from a leadership position then America is leaderless.
According to the article: However, the Galaxy S3’s position as the world’s best-selling smartphone model is likely to be short-lived. The Apple iPhone 5 has gotten off to a solid start already with an estimated 6.0 million units shipped globally during Q3 2012. We expect the new iPhone 5 to out-ship Samsung’s Galaxy S3 in the coming fourth quarter of 2012 and Apple should soon reclaim the title of the world’s most popular smartphone model
So I guess at that point they won't be better.
What would make this analysis more interesting would be to compare units sold, not just shipped.
Its clearly unfair to blame Microsoft for losing this opportunity to dominate another space. Its not their fault that criminals chose to exploit their wildy insecure and unstable software. They can't be held responsible for the quality of product that they develop.
No one (at Microsoft) should lose their job (or CEO-ship) over such activities.

I'm not much of an aluminum fan for cookware. Since its made via casting, how about an iron one?
How can any nation grant right over something outside its sovereignty?
Indeed! It seems to presume a lot. Perhaps this just regulates the behavior of US companies mining asteroids.
Give the state of today's technology, no form of electronic voting can be considered reasonably safe, accurate or secure.
It may be easy to find fault with their reasoning, but its hard to criticize the outcome.
For different folks...
Choice is always good. In the world of notebooks and desktops that's why there's linux, OSX and a few other OS's available.

If yelling "get off your F-ing phone and drive" a lot while driving qualifies as road rage, I could be in trouble with a system like this.

Nothing since you'll still be in mommy's basement with cheetos-stained fingers.
As long as they are the Crunchy Cheddar Jalapeno CHEETOS® I can live with that.
Interesting. There was much (justifiable) criticism leveled 50-60 years ago at the whole "Separate but Equal" approach.
Odd that "Not Separate but Not Equal" wouldn't generate just as much criticism.

If my tablet has LTE, is connected to a wireless telco's network and supports placing (VOIP) phone calls, is it a wireless phone?
