I never got any specifics of what the schemes were. Just that she often had coversations like "what if we do this?" "The cops come and shut down the company." "Well, what if we do this? ", "The SEC, the IRS, and the FBI come and shut down the company."
That one jumped out at me, too. I'm reminded of one of my sister's law school classmates, who worked at Sears, and whose job apparently consisted mostly of telling their execs on a daily basis that their latest hare-brained scheme was illegal.
I'd also like to make its capabilities available to the host computer when I have it docked. This would include:
1) providing Bluetooth connectivity if the computer doesn't already have a BT interface 2) letting the computer use the iPhone for network connection 3) letting me use the computer's keyboard for anything I'd do on the phone (IE, SMS or entering text in any app on the phone) 4) running the phone's apps on the computer, making them show up as widgets (for example).

Sorry, I don't see why this story is even here. Microsoft has been telling bald-faced lies about their security for at least a decade. What's different this time?
When you gather that much footage, what do you look at? Unless the brits are ready hire a veritable army of people to scan through the video, they'll have to pick and choose what's important enough to look for. The 7/7 bombings were, daily muggings aren't.
Yeah, because if he is racist/personality challenged, he can't be any good in engineering either.
This isn't Shockley we're talking about, it's someone who was fired for cause, who didn't raise these issues before he was fired. If his former colleagues refuse to get on that plane, then I might give some credence to his claims, but until and unless that happens, I think he's full of shit.
Racing boats are built for performance, not durability. The fact that this mast failed surprises me no more than a drag racing engine throwing a rod. It really says nothing at all about an aircraft designed for decades of service.
The documents were not only forged, they were incompetently forged. Rather blew it, and whether he did so because he hated GWB, or just wanted to be Woodward and Bernstein so bad he could taste it, doesn't change his guilt.
I'm willing to give 12 year-olds the benefit of the doubt, and I'm not willing to do likewise for VCs, because of the experiences I've had with each group of people. Clear enough?

I didn't sound 'positive enough'
Truth to tell, you come across as rather sullen here. I don't think I'd hire you, either.

Don't assume that anyone who cares about returning to sound money is a conspiracy theorist.

economists didn't see the sub prime morgage bust coming either
You've got to be kidding. I've been seeing dire warnings about a real estate bust for the last five years at least.

This time they started out by admitting that their security used to be lacking.
Well, they've done that every time they shipped a new version of Windows. Part of the sales pitch has always been "Security: this time, for sure!"

The story is about a former Boeing engineer who has serious concerns with the new plane's safety.
Nope, it's about a guy who got canned for making racist remarks on the job, looking for some way to lash out at Boeing and get some revenge. Fuck him.

In the End CArbon fiber isn't better or worse than a metal plane.
I beg to differ. Carbon fiber is better because it doesn't corrode, and it has a superior strength-to-weight ratio.
