Microsoft cannot vouch for the quality of their own products, why would we expect them to vouch for the quality of ANY product...

Ideally, the much sought after all in one convergence device (fone/pda/etc.) would have built-in GPS, negating the need for this otherwise functionally sound service.
I wouldn't invest to much into this technology, as I think it'll be obsoleted before it comes to fruition.
Leverage your existing skillset. Perhaps pursue a job in bioinformatics, or some convergence field between medecine and technology.
User interface designer for heart monitors/diagnostic equipment, or those new tablet PCs that everyone says will be deployed.
How about an auditer for privacy compliance in protocols that are being rolled out.
I think that is your strongest bet.

Im going to have to rethink one of my basic mantras, these spammers actually found and highlighted a useful vulnerability before, somone untowards could misuse it.

Anyone have perhaps a voicemail system running on OS/2? We had an octel system, you never would've thought it was a computer, it was so reliable you might've thought it was an embedded device.
It lived right next to the government Novell system, database, we had to retain due to finacial compliancy... records keeping xx years...

Who has the link to the novell box that got walled up in a university somewhere, heheh 4 years uptime.
what really amuses/sickens me, is that I saw some old Disney cartoons the other day on the cartoon network. And the accompanying music, as in a lot of cartoons, was a classic score by bethoven, or mozart, etc.
Now, the copyright on this body of works is non-existant, and Disney has BENEFITTED greatly from this, one could argue that early Disney would not be the company it is today without those free (as in without copyright) works!
Well this is straight out of the latest TigerDirect catalog. It is an ad from a 3rd party inkjet refill manufacturer, and they answer the question "Will 3rd party XXX void my warranty"
Here are select excerpts
the Warranty IMprovement Act, Section 2302(c) clearly states that it is illegal to require or force the the equipment owner to buy only the O.E.M. brand of supplies.
Now the use of the phrase "O.E.M. brand" might be a problem, as the laptop, and windows most likely have different manufacturers.
I didn't find any additional info on their website.
Won't find this on a posIT underneath the keyboard

Weybosset Street pizzerias face possible shutdown
PROVIDENCE -- A hearing on whether to permanently shut two downtown pizzerias that Mayor Vincent A. Cianci Jr. says are threats to public safety will resume this afternoon at City Hall.
The city Board of Licenses is scheduled to reconvene at 1 p.m. for the hearing on Saki's Pizza House, 199 Weybosset St., and the adjacent Pizza Queen, 215 Weybosset St.
The hearing follows a decision last week to immediately shut down both establishments after a police patrolman was attacked by a mob while investigating a fight that left two men shot and one stabbed.
Patrolman Sean Carroll suffered a concussion and numerous bruises on his face, head, shoulders and rib cage. He attended yesterday's hearing with his wife and son and testified about the beating.
The praising tome of this article seem to ignore the fact that the government is denying people access to THEIR money, from a PRIVATE institution. And if you DO want to spend over XXX amount, you will be scrutinized. Would this go unchallenged in the US?
I wonder if this loophole is mandated by the CALEA, or under the PATRIOT act, or if the FBI/FCC will leverage the CALEA to encompass de facto hiding of snooping devices... I doubt mcAffee will stand up to the pressure of the FBI slapping an interfering with an investigation charge on them... Not that the FBI would stoop to such strong arm tactics...
Welcome to 1984...
Invariably the first argument encountered when I go on a tirade about the choking off of our civil liberties, someone responds to the wiretap question with: "So what,? I don't do anything wrong." In my mind I know they are completely missing the point, but I have yet to come up with a quick, pithy, persuasive argument to open up their mind. What are the dangers of widespread monitoring that the average american (that hasn't read 1984)can grasp?

No, that is a silly assumption. Detonators don't listen for simply a signal on a frequency. The need some kind of keyed code.... -PHiZ

Will this collected information be subject to data retention/privacy laws?
Just judging from past experience the "network" will be weakly protected at best. -PHiZ
