This till court decision "sale" meant "renting", or maybe "licensing", that you don't own what you think you are buying but you are given a very restricted set of permissions of whar you can do or not, even for "real life" objects. Publishers are getting hold on the abuses that they are able to do in the digital world and exporting them to the real one. If that trend continued, when you "buy", is not that you own something, but that you are the one that is owned.
Windows and MacOSX don't let you choose your desktop environment. And that is one advantage of linux distributions in general, giving you the freedom to use the environment that fits better for you. If only unity runs in Ubuntu, then it won't have that advantage, no matter how good or bad you think it is.
To run apps that require kde libraries, maybe? The QT/QML ecosystem on what they would be based could use some key existing apps for KDE.
Also, one of the advantages of Ubuntu that still that you can choose to not run unity. How much of that option remains could be key for its future as a general linux distribution.
Almost by definition, you can't "steal" (unless we are talking about taking out something and not leaving the the original copy) something that is public. Is not your side the one in fault. Do a google search for files that have sensible information and shouldn't be public, you will find plenty of them, and is not your fault, or Google's, is from the people that are actually publishing things, being aware of it or not.
A real life example is if i offer you something that you accept, and then call the police claiming that you stole it if you say what i did.
Seem that it will be doing a comeback, integrated with Google Drive.
Maybe Reader will reappear in a new shape/name, there is still time till July. After all, A LOT of what is shared in g+ are links to things that come originally from some rss.
If all those companies have to login to a single website (that could require java, flash, acrobat, or whatever that could have a 0-day exploit, and no one will block anything from there, as is a trusted website), it could be used to plant something like Red October in a lot of sensible places. It could be in a not very visited place of the site to delay detection while still getting victims (i.e. just replacing a pdf), could not be detected in all companies it tries to infect, could be low profile enough as it will reach every company, or focus in a particular contractor as have to log in there anyway.
If they can't manage to have secured that only site, probably won't be able to do so with multiple sites neither. but a single intrusion won't have the same broad reach.
Making all government contractors to sign in in a single "trusted" site is a good recipe for disaster. In fact, is the perfect honeypot to convince people that we are under attack.
They are everywhere anyway, and a good number of them are open to be used by anyone. And don't forget your own webcam.And don't forget that now everyone carries cameras at the very least with their cellphones, ready to take a photo or video and getting uploaded to social networks without you noticing.. and getting tagged.
Is not about cameras what i should be worried about, is the interactivity with them in real time, like fact checking about the people and places you have around, that could be a game changer in social relations.
Why to bring an obvious "strange device" at the eyes of the unsuspecting to connect to a company laptop if you can bring a cellphone for doing the same task? (if current cellphones are too braindead/locked for that, an N900 should be more than enough).
If you don't care about being subtle, just rebooting with a bootable pendrive or disarming the notebook to extract the HD should do the word, but a cellphone is something that could not raise suspicion, you can always say that is for recharging the battery (and again, with an N900, will make even more sense)
Even if Earth-sized planets were not as common as this study say, just with the raw amount of galaxies in the universe you should have billons of those planets anyway.
30 years. Now that US militarized the internet, any small mistake, or that looked from very far aggresive move will have that kind of punishment, as they see anything related as war crimes. Even falling in a social engineering trick puts you into the enemy of the state category.
Meanwhile bankers that steal billons or just screw the entire world economy, are too big to jail or just gets even a lot more money from government.
And it's already to late to change anything of this. Any try to fix the system will get people 30 years of jail too.
That war will be fought in internet, and the innocent bystanders will be all of us, that in a way or another have some part of our lives here. No, won't be bullets, but privacy will dissapear (even pretending that you want it or try to give it to others could lead you to getting into political prosecutions), abuses of people in power will be common (like this, maybe more **AA oriented this time), forbidding not "government approved" encryption, software, technologies and so on.
Considering the investment on space exploration, Mars will be for long time the only "land of the free"
I exercise not lifting, but for going to fill them. Have to go for coffee two floors below i work, taking stairs up and down, every hour or so (either for coffee or water). Sometimes adding inefficiency to your life have side benefits.
Linux has become so mainstream than lost the novelty. Another distro, or a newer version? Is incremental, not earth shattering. Most of what could be said is already in the culture. Think how many attention and comments come after another virus, or zero day exploit, or IE vulnerability for windows? As is something normal, you don't get so many responses from people that uses it, but a lot of the usual deniers as have another opportunity
And as I don't play with educational distributions, can't tell if this one in particular makes a big difference compared with others (should be something as disruptive as i.e. Sugar to notice it), Just is... correct, in particular for all that you deny, is free (so can be freely distributed, or adapted for different needs),is safe, and have a simplified desktop environment oriented to the task that should be done, is not something that must be defended, because is just the obvious right choice.
Several of the alternative web rss readers sites (like NewsBlur) are having trouble coping with the amount of people checking for good alternative web based rss readers. I suppose that they will manage to scale with time, but at the moment of the google announcement should had been hard to access.
Is different reading what routers are publishing in the open air than a fully political prosecution. Google isn't, and is not treated as an enemy of the state, and is an US company after all (Samsung, as is not, had pay 1 Billon over for selling rectangular devices).
Wrong analogy. This one is "you don't attack us, and we keep attacking you", or maybe "my data is only mine, and your data is ours". Or even maybe "you stop your attacks, and we jail our hackers" (and those "hackers" are the ones that hack against us, not for us, be pirates, people that fight for people rights, or whoever disclose government/corporations abuses)
There is no shift in power, at least in US the power is in the government (and groups that in a way or another control them), with population with little to no power at all. Oh, you can choose between Kang or Kodos, but not really change what governs you, think in the transition between Bush and Obama, different parties, different platforms, but the big trends were going steady all thru it till this day. And you can't choose another thing with the media control, by those control groups or directly by government. Think in how the opinion of the population in general is driven around topics that they should care regarding their power vs the government, like wikileaks and the occupy movement.
But ok, lets say that US is doomed. What about the rest of the world? Its still having US spying and close to total surveillance (most communications go thru it or end in companies hosted on it, like google, facebook or amazon), and the media is in good part still controlled by it too (and actively used to desestabilize governments, usually by the same pressure groups that control US). And the main defense that have the other countries against this is... surveillance and censorship.
What about domestic censorship, monitoring and even censoring on all foreign communications? Spying on their own citizens are internal affairs, could be justified on maintaining order, internal peace or whatever, but doing it for most communications of other countries or between other countries?
Wikipedia isfull of references on it, amongothers,
And is acting on the information that is gathering.
Should accelerate the process. Less reflected sunlight means even more incoming heat. Earth been such this kind of stages in the past, but previous times didnt had the continuous input of industrial heat sources and contamination that we have now, nor we were so tied to so much specific coastal places. And if well we should be able to adapt a gradual process taking decades, a very fast process could eventually kill millons (at least is what Hollywood enjoys showing us).
Technology already reached the point where you can be filmed or recorded without being aware of, without needing anything more advanced than a smartphone, with i.e. Koozoo. In fact, won't be surprised if there isnt a wearable webcam addon for smarphone to record an event, meeting or whatever, without going full to google glass.
And add to that that a lot of places have security cameras, a lot of them insecure enough to be in this page some weeks ago.

They use social networks where geeks that use RSS share links to the interesting content there.

Is nice to throw the first stone and then complain if someone else want to play that game too.
