Actually, most Slashdotters are High School nerds, dateless college guys, single guys living in their mother's basements with apolitical axe to grind, or trolls poking the first three with a stick...
Consider yourself poked.
I suspect that the latter category also substantially overlaps the first three. Hah, poked you back!
Which company is or was being spied on by whom is irrelevant. Every company should take measures to ensure that no agency can spy on them, simple as that.
So, Airbus's reaction to this should be just to accept that anyone can eavesdrop on their VPNs? Are Boeing ok with European governments snooping on their VPNs? Maybe China should be allowed to snoop on all our communications as well. After all, more eyes means less corruption, right? And since American companies never bribe, they have nothing to hide by letting every government in the world listen in on all their internal communications.
Android is already entrenched, and in a market where not even microsoft can dislodge it...
They're probably happy raking in the patent royalties. And that's probably a big factor in Samsung wanting to move away from Android. I can see Tizen being successful in India and Africa, if they can break into the Chinese market as well then that would be huge. From there, expanding via Korea and Japan into western markets doesn't look quite so impossible.
Oh, I didn't know that. Ok, "substantially" then. If I wrote an app that let people buy aspirin, paracetamol, echinacea, and crack cocaine, I bet it would get pulled.
Apple always keep their cards close to their chest until they're ready to do a big launch event. The article mentions they hired some people to work on VR a couple of months ago.
p.s. Is "lead" valid for past tense in American English? We spell it "led" in the Old Country.
This whole gamergate thing has been deeply confusing right from the start. It's hard to work out which side is which. Earlier this year, a couple of rape-threat trolls were jailed here in the UK - and one of them was a woman. Sending rape threats. To someone who was campaiging to get Jane Austen put on a UK banknote. I just can't make sense of the world any more!
According to Wikipedia*, #notyourshield was largely a sockpuppet sham.

Religion is not a choice. You either believe something, or you don't. Can you choose your belief? If you think so, here's an easy test. Pick something that you believe - that you are genuinely convinced is true - and stop believing it. Or, if you prefer, pick something that you are utterly convenced is untrue, and try believing that it is really true. Really believe it, not just say so and pretend. Tricky, isn't it?
So if you don't want it because you have an invisible friend, then that's ok. If you don't want it because you have a supposedly reasoned and cogent objection, that's not ok?
Except that Microsoft never had a monopoly on either music players or music downloads, so there would be no case to answer here. And neither did Apple. There's always been plenty of viable non-Apple choice in the digital music marketplace. And I suspect the fact that the iPod and iTunes started up at the same time, locked to each other, will go a long way to exonerating them - they didn't suddenly decide to use an established monopoly in one area as a foothold to gain a monopoly in the other. They started up two inextricably linked services, and if they gained a monopoly (which I do not believe the did) then they gained both togther as a package deal. Which, I suspect (IANAL), is probably not anti-trust.
Google is not an EU company. The EU doesn't have any control over Google.
They have control over any company that wants to do business in the EU. They can't directly break them up, but they can give them an ultimatum - "form a separate company to run your EU search business, or we will ban you from doing business within the EU". Or something like that. My example is probably overly simplistic and naive as I'm not an expert on international trade law, but just because they are incorporated in the US does not render the EU entirely toothless.
I backed at the £750 level, the top reward at that tier is an invite to the launch party this Saturday. As well as that you get access to the design descussion forum, the alpha and beta stages, a bunch of naming rights (system, planet, station, NPCs, etc.), and a few extra starting options in the game.

I'm sure Airbus cared when the GCHQ snooped on the details of a bidding process and handed over the details to Boeing.
Why would my employer fire me for using the corporate VPN from home? That's precisely what the VPN is for!

There's a white dot directly above the Beagle, I wonder if that's a snapped-off solar panel petal.

I'm astonished that Apple haven't done this already. An app that's designed purely for violating the law, that should be a no-brainer-ban.
I thought they were supposed to use that time to work on the land and bring in the harvest.

You believe that the number of sockpuppets was less than 100%. GP says that according to wiki, it's greater than 50%.
It says "many", which could mean anything.

What plaything can you offer me today?

Apple don't have a monopoly, so they can't be accused of using one monopoly to gain another.

They're shutting down a feature that one campaign used to spread their message - and this is influencing? Surely it's stopping an influence?
