They're not going to stop you from coming in. I've shopped at Fry's and Best Buy on many occasions, and each time I've walked passed the door Nazis without saying a word. They didn't try to stop me (that would be illegal), nor did they ever take my photo, ID, or "blacklist" me from entering.
The only exceptions are club stores like Costco where you sign a contract that says they'll revoke your membership if you don't let them check your receipts.

Soon you'll need a DRM chip in your optic nerve just to read a book or watch a movie.
If Wall Street proves anything, it's that competence and compensation are in no way related.

Fortunately, there is already an answer to those "significant health questions."

That's called "enterprise software."
Adding components is easy. Making faster computers is not.

That's boring.
Now if you don't mind, take out your wallet. We're collecting taxes so we can build a giant thing that smashes atoms together.
Does the Hummingbird processor require more nectar when it's overclocked?
"Bleep boop beep boink"
But we can't assign historic value to *everything*, or the signal-to-noise ratio will be too great to find anything worthwhile.
* Microsoft Kin
* iPhone antenna
* Windows Phone 7
Anything else we should add to the list?
No offense, but I'm guessing your photos aren't exactly the Magna Carta. Will anyone even care about your vacation photos 70 years from now?

You're better off reading The Daily WTF for these types of stories. It's better written than InfoWorld could ever hope to be.

But remember, Napster was encouraging piracy. MegaUpload and friends claim that they would never do such a thing.
But you're missing the point; if I were stealing, why would I volunteer to show them my bag and/or receipt?
