The literary executor of George Orwell's estate could had accused Amazon of using Newspeak. But maybe would be Doublespeak the right language for the dystopian present of 2014.
Why to go to the trouble of mounting a distributed denial of service attack, that need thousands of infected computers to be effective, when you can just tickle a dumb bot to do the dirty work for you in the name of the government?
We know that it is happening since 1985, there had been at least a case of a scientist (E.Brown, if i'm not mistaken) smuggling plutonium to give it to libyan terrorists, or even doing very dangerous experiments with it.
How it affects Blackberry that an Android-based OS focused on security and privacy have some vulnerabilities? Is not BB10 OS based, even having an emulation layer that enables it to run Android programs. They could as well talk about iOS or Windows Phone users too. Even Tizen (that at least run Linux as Android) would be more related to this than Blackberry.
At least he had a self-driving engine, it is an improvement over the usual idiot that go to drive drunk and kill several in the way. And in some cases keep driving after doing that.
The N900 was more a pocket computer than a phone. And slideout keyboards make far more sense when you try to use your phone as a generic computer, just need that people realize that is that what they want when they buy each time more powerful smartphones.
Run user sessions on linux containers (docker is getting momentum, may be the right option) that you can limit on the resources that they can use, while being far more efficient than VMs for that. Just a word of caution, they aren't as secure as VMs, they may be present or future vulnerabilities that may let hostile students to break their limits and/or access the main system, as they have more surface contact with the machine kernel than proper virtualization, mixing VMs for security with containers for efficiency could be a good compromise.
What about foreing servers running Microsoft software, that Microsoft can somewhat control like when deleted Tor from Windows machines? If have the power to (even if done via security updates) retrieve information from remote servers, even not owned by them, should comply with obama administration orders?
Really owning your data is becoming thing of the past, at least for some markets.
Don't attribute to (NSA/GCHQ 's) malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity. But keep open that option anyway, specially if that apparent stupidity makes you think/feel/behave in a different way, or may do that to someone else.
For several of android tablets there are some working linux distributions (that may or not have working all hardware), even without counting ubuntu touch. But the point on that tablet was that it had open hardware too, ubuntu touch solves the drivers problem taking directly the manufacturer's android drivers, so closed hardware also leads to closed source running there too, with potential backdoors (like the ones found in samsung devices) builtin.
We can safely discard decades of satellite data and trends on global weather and climate, and the analysis of all climatologists all around the world, because a few carefully choosen farmers in sweden think that it is not happening.
The point is that don't create a VM. Containers runs applications in their own isolated (as in filesystem, memory, processes, network, users, etc) environment, but just one kernel, no hard reservation of memory or disk, it consumes resources pretty much like native apps.Another difference is at it just need the linux kernel, it runs where a linux kernel (modern enough, 2.6.38+) run, including inside VMs, so you can run them on amazon, google app engine, linode and a lot more.
What docker adds over LXC (Linux Containers) is using a copy-on-write filesystem (so if i get the filesystem for i.e. ubuntu for an app, and another application also tries to use the filesystem of ubuntu, the extra disk use is just what both changed, also cached disk works for both), using cgroups to be able to limit what resources the container can use, and a whole management system for deploying, managing, sharing, packaging and constructing. It enables you to i.e. build a container for some service (with all the servers it need to run, with the filesystem of the distribution you need, exposing just the ports you want to give services on), pack it, and use it as a single unit, deploying it in the amount of servers you want without worrying about conflicting libraries, required packages, or having the right distribution.
If you think that is something academical, Google heavily use containers in their cloud, creating 2 billon containers per week. They have their own container technology (LMCTFY, Let Me Contain That For You) but has been adopting lately Docker, and contributing not just code but also a lot of tools to manage containers in a cloud.
The big thing about this release is not that they include LXC, that is been around for years, but that they included Docker, that simplifies and goes beyond what LXC does.
Turing never participated in Facebook chats. Our expectations of intelligence for the other side has been lowered a lot. We attribute to stupidity what can be explained by an AI in the other side. And of course, the stupid side could be the one talking to the AI too.
Maybe it will compile in fpc (http://www.freepascal.org/). But probably will be tied a lot to DOS to not being able to run outside DOSEmu, probably an old Turbo Pascal version to compile it should be the best choice. Or take out those ties and make it run in modern OSs.

Marketing suggested that now it should be called the Skim Milky Way.
Will be taking Tolkien's "Leaf, by Niggle" and turning it into a clone of The Swamp Thing.

When that way to handle "dissidents" comes to your shores, won't be disclosed that it is happening, wannabe whisteblowers will be the first victims.

Mankind could wipe itself from the planet without their help, and by that year too.

It was writen in Perl. If it were easy to understand would had deserved the Nobel prize too.
... somewhat Merkel deserved all the snooping that the NSA did on her. Putting trust in governments that deceive even their own people is a dumb idea.
You mean like the plan for killing Occupy high profile members from a couple of years ago? Or the political prosecution of Aaron Schwartz? Or the more recent classifying peaceful protests as terrorism? It is already there, just that most people didn't realized it yet.

Next one will be "proper process is too complex, so we just directly jail anyone that our trusty staff think that deserves it"

.. not what we do. What is doing the GCHQ would be worth to be in jail till the sun turns into nova.
Even peaceful use of technology could be seen as an hostile act by the authorities that actually use it as a weapon.
Odds are pretty high that we will never reach the next star, worrying about the next galaxy is a bit too much
