The HP touchpad was sub-100 for a while, and maybe soon will be able to install ICS on it. Anyway, comparing on it WebOS and CM7, i prefer the WebOS user interface, not sure how much things will improve in ICS.
P.K.Dick added blue butterflies to the dangers of knowing the future and acting to avoid it. Guess or predict is ok, but knowing, well, hell is just a step in that direction.
Not sure if equipment would leave some sort of fingerprint in a generic, not sure if retouched or not image, to say for sure that it was some brand or model of camera (or certain specific camera with not so perfect lenses). Same shoud go for algorithms to retouching images (probably different tools, using the same algorithm leaves pretty similar fingerprints).
Planting keyloggers, or sniffing the network for trivially encripted passwords (i.e. proxy passwords), or setting a fake server where they should authenticate are a few easy alternatives to obtain passwords in unencrypted form, no matter how they are stored in the authentication servers.
Any government with religion ties could be eventually dangerous, at least for the religions that really think that will be some sort of heaven for the believers. Just kill everyone, all your points will be proved to be true, the believers will all have heaven, and the deniers hell, great deal. You could even sacrify your immortal soul to end all suffering to your loved ones and punish your enemies. And you have more than a few of those nutjobs in high enough government ranks in US.
Anyway, money and power weights more than religion, and if there is a chance to get immensely rich and powerful with the only cure that prevents or delays what is killing mankind, that path could be taken.And there is, of course, the 12 monkeys alternative.
Could this tools be used to see what do politicians, the top 1%, judges and the people in high ranks in the government agencies? you know, the "we the people" could give a good use of it to make sure that the ones they elect do right their job.
In Linux you have a "default walled garden" that is your distribution and related repositories. You can jump out the garden, but is not so trivial for the casual user and gives time to think what they are really doing.
Still, nothing forbids you to install a.rpm/.deb that as root do evil things in your own system, if you really try and accepts all warnings, root passwords questions and install the needed certificates. There is nothing foolproof if the fool is smart enough.
In mars you dont have natives to deal with (as far as we know) while you doing the transition. And developing the science and technology needed to terraform mars could eventually be used down here, so you have something that works in both goals.
In the other hand, having an objective to develop technology usually have very useful byproducts, a lot of things you are enjoying were byproducts of putting a man on the moon or putting satellites in orbit. Because if is just for making money, companies are figuring that the best investment is to sue each other, or lobbying, not developing newer/better technology. And that is more damaging than destroying the ecosystem in the middle term.
Thinking into going or colonizing other solar system could be unrealistic for some centuries, if ever. For what we know about the universe so far, could be something that not even alien races could afford. In the other hand, terraforming/colonizing other planets in our solar system, or managing to build self sustained space stations is more probable, and doing what is needed to get that goal could make things better here, or at least better prepared for some potential disasters.
Is also well known that countries sometimes get mad or at least weird thinking leaders, like North Korea, Venezuela, Libya or US. You want that those leaders have access to superpowerful weapons capable of wipiing out countries or the entire world?
Why all that trouble? Just put in your ToS "you must give me all your money", and start spamming with the URL of your site all around, specially in DOJ/RIAA/MPAA mails. Lets see for how much time they follow their own rules.
Because in smartphones, tablets, media players, routers and a lot of hardware with somewhat embedded OS you probably won't be using windows, in fact, odds are pretty high that are linux or at least a unix derivative.
Probably the main reason a lot of people keeps running windows is because games, and success in consoles (even xbox ones) and other gaming devices could take down that advantage.
Wonder if Captain America ever used his shield as clipboard (i think he actually did in the movie), if so we have prior art if they try to patent this.
If they blend the best of Maemo, Meego, Tizen, Symbian and WebOS, all laced with Qt, they could get an ecosystem. Too bad is located at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, where only strange creatures lives in. They still have a chance before Microsoft curse finish to kill them.
Even if the quality of the photo left is not the greatest, we already know that is not a cube-shaped spaceship. At least there is still hope that change the course by itself.
In next days they probably will revoke other certification authorities with a similar names. This case was just the next step. Is a slow process and finding uppercase letters in the middle don't make things any faster.
Loved TP back in the days, but marvelous as it was, was nothing compared with the miracle in few bytes that was Sidekick for DOS. Depending on how much things had into, was between 20 and 50k.
*IF* doing that would make the difference between a supervolcano eruption and avoiding it, the profit that whatever you have left, still will have value. Don't think in profit, think in losses... losing everything or keeping something.
Wouldnt be it the one named in that tale from A.C.Clarke? Wouldnt be so surprising if early church record dates were adjusted to give a bit more "magic" to its origins.

The fact that you consider that a necessary evil, that should be happening everywhere just because surely happens in US, is already a bad thing.

If you have to eat your own dogfood, better that it have a tasty name
The corruption in Zimbabwe fucks all the world? There is a term of scale if you count how many countries are being hit by that corruption.

the next stages... i mean, departments, will be announced shortly.

Could be too far for mining, so probably will end being a good candidate to become our second moon (while supplies last) in a century or so.

Which enemies? World domination will be finally achieved when the rest of the countries signs the ACTA treaty.
