People BELIEVES in money, can touch it, know the hell that is having none and the heaven of having millons. In the other hand, church is no proof faith that could pay (or not, still faith needed) after you died. Probably around the same number of people admires (or at least, say in public that they do) Jobs, Zuckerberg or visible enough wildly rich people.
Depends. You see knowing yourself as something fun or sad? How many things that you consider fun now know what boring things have behind (you pick, smoking, drinking, friends, wife,etc) and still have fun with them?
If you store the most critical things in the cloud, specially things that you access thru your phone, is your password your most dangerous possession, mainly because stealing your phone is not a requirement for getting your data (if your password is unsafe or used from an unsafe location, i.e. with a keylogger). Of course, that have as advantage that if your phone gets stolen, and you are fast enough, you could change your cloud password and disable your phone number.
You could also store directly in the phone sensitive information like passwords, but there are apps that are meant to manage that information that have a master password to enable you to access (and that password will be the important one there)
Microsoft got ever sued for the damaged caused by the thousands of virus/botnets/trojans/intrusions caused by the "security" of their software? Not even got hit for delaying applying patches for known or being exploited vulnerabilities ever.
The machiavellian move would have been NOT to release those plugins, and from one day to the next i.e. move Youtube to WebM, forcing Apple/Windows users to move to Chrome or Firefox if they want to see something embedded in most of internet content. If they want to push a internet standard, better that they provide free, updated, for every platform and browser, plugins to show them.
In the other hand, thats very different with what Microsoft did in almost everything they released as "open","standard","intended by web", in all its history, from html extensions to.net. I would say that Machiavelli ideas were almost Microsoftians, not the other direction around)
If you hit their modem line and hack into, another game will be available, "Global Biological War", but i remember that the only way to win is not to play it.
To win his bet, he will loads of Narrativium. And, of course, be the hero of the (hi)story and not the comic relief. The universe don't need to behave in such way to make him win the bet, things will happen, just because he said so. But if you win,don't forget to name your grand granddaughter Teela.
Most top smartphones right now are multitaskers, already perform more than 2 things at once even with single core processors. Having multiple cores means doing it somewhat better as you split the tasks over separate processors.
Would had been nice if the N900 had multiple cores, is just too easy to run a lot of things at once, at least, if that don't kill the battery.
They could start to use something that they could check that don't have any of our backdoors.
The article is a bit one sided...THEY could spy communications, THEY could plant backdoors, etc, etc... seems that US wants the monopoly on that topic too.
If display can be detached from computers, then forget about tablets, notebooks, or even smartphones. You have "the box" somewhere in your house and from any place you can have alternate input and output devices to work with it, you want a tablet? something to work in a desk? Using your tv set? All can have the same computer behind, and you could use the best interface for what you need to do.
If that becomes portable or wearable, same could go for mobile computing, and you could interact with the IO device you have with you, be smartglasses, something of the size of a phone or a tablet,
or even some kind of sixth sense technology
The worst problem is that it don't ends now. For years (centuries?) from now people will refuse to vaccine kids because "i hear somewhere that it causes autism", that kind of lies, misunderstandings and myths are documented that remain for very long, no matter what science says loudy all around (like some few examples that came to light recently)
Should be a Murphy law regarding Wikileaks... no matter how bad the leaks looks so far, there will be always something worse about to be disclosed. And that without even touching banks, that was supposed to be the next target.
With a bit of luck the illusion of "but we are the good ones" will become more evident with this.
I would separate the problems in 2, one thing is having someone with close to god priviledges that can't be trusted (so having multiple of them you probably multiplied the problem too) and another putting some sort of safety belt, the trust is there, but you as admin restrain yourself for non critical operations or collaborative/role administration. Sysadmins are not excluded from Hanlon's razor.
I imagine the millons of accounts that they will have to give details if they count everyone that pressed the "I Like" button on websites/news/etc that talked about Wikileaks.
Thats a good approach, emulate practices and institutions of long lasting totalitarian regimes. That US is becoming one don't mean that have a clue on how to make it last.
You really a tablet? Must be a tablet? You can afford it now, and then later? It must be with android?
My approach would be to get a netvertible (like Samsung sliding PC or Asus Eee Pad Slider, to put 2 examples on the spotlight right now), on which i could install some kind of Linux, like Ubuntu or Meego, or if no available, Android 3.x or even (bletch!) Windows. But for now for most of the needs of portable computing my N900 works pretty well.

Maemo, not Meego. Is for the N900 since the start of that phone. But not sure if was available at first for it or for iPhone or Symbian.

A hot device surrounded by vapor that is meant to be touched by your bare fingers? Of course is dangerous. You don't want to get burnt using it.

No pain, no gain? No problem, just use MS Comic Sans on it and the text will burn in your forehead for weeks.
Tell them what you are searching for and will find a lot of people, specially in places where everyone were happy before knowing that.
According with several FPS game logs, we have a lot of mass murderers around. They even found there who sniped the player Jfk

With 1.21 gigawatts you can even go back to the future
Maybe the leftovers of that digestion should worry us
