And just where are you in the world?
Google is still in early testing stages and I would imagine that since they are a a US based company that they wanted to control who has access to their device in the testing stages. Then they are going to do a larger localized testing rollout in other parts of the world. Which is fairly normal for anything this early in a product development stage.
If you buy a magazine at a kiosk there is a trail of what distributor sold it to what kiosk.
The magazinse knows how many of their copies sell where, and can pull demographic data by location.
They can target local advertising then.
ATT has unlocked phones for years. All you had to do was well ask. I worked in tech support there until 2006 and we we used to process requests and send out unlock codes on daily basis.
In 2009 I moved to south america, and called ATT and requested an unlock code for my Samsung Blackjack, and they sent it out to me in two days via email.
And if you had an contract phone, and an account in good standing for at least 90 days, you could request and get an unlock code if you were going to travel abroad. The only phone you could not get an unlock code in recent history was the Iphone.
Opinion hardly.
Wired even wrote an article about in 1999.
I never said Nielsen. Cable companies collect the data so they can sell targetting marketing to certain demographics. They do not hand it over to Nielsen becaue it is part of their competive marketing when selling targeted ad space to corporations looking to hit a certain demographic. They cannot sell the data, but they can use it.
The networks/stations can get the data directly from the cable providers.
Hell even Wired wrote an article about it in 1999.

Actually,
There are exponentially more homes than that monitored. Pretty much everyone who has a set top cable box is monitored. on their viewing habits, and have been for at least the last five years.
Yes, and you can read the original filing.
The guy and his buddy bought thousands of stolen phones, and playstations, and laptops, that he knew were stolen from an undercover FBI guy over the course of few years.
He and his pals are no angels. No heros.
But then again, they could have posted a link to it.

Actually he pled down to a lesser charge,DMCA violation. He was trafficking in stolen and counterfit goods and money laundering as well and his buddies got caught by an undercover agent in a sting. Those are the real reasons he was busted.
The article is FUD, because the guy was busted doing a ton of other shit.

PHILADELPHIA—United States Attorney Michael L. Levy, together with Special Agent-in-Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation Janice K. Fedarcyk, Special Agent-in-Charge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement John P. Kelleghan, Special Agent-in-Charge of the Internal Revenue Service Don Fort, and Superintendent of the New Jersey State Police Colonel Joseph R. Fuentes, today announced the unsealing of a 33-count indictment charging Sadek Mohamad Koumaiha, Mohamad Kassem Sibai, Hassan Mahmoud Koumaiha, Ali-Ibrahim El Sayed Abdallah, Mohamad Majed, Bilal Hussein Hamden, a/k/a “Billy,” Shady Anis Ghadban, a/k/a “Danny,”and Ali Kassem El-Sibai with multiple counts of conspiracy, trafficking-in stolen goods, trafficking-in counterfeit goods, false statements to government officials, and conducting an illegal money transmitting business.
According to the indictment, Sadek and Hassan Koumaiha, Mohamad Kassem Sibai, Ali-Ibrahim El Sayed Abdallah, and Majed purchased stolen merchandise, including Sony PlayStation 2 systems, laptop computers, and cellular telephones, purportedly worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, from an undercover law enforcement officer. The indictment further alleges that defendants Sibai, the Koumaihas, and Shady Anis Ghadban, purchased thousands of dollars worth of counterfeit goods, namely Nike shoes and a variety of brands of cellular telephones, from an undercover law enforcement officer.
Fortunately, even at the ripe old age of 41, I still think "wow what a great pair of tits" when I see a stellar rack hanging off a broad. It will be a say day when I look at boobs and think about lactation.
Anything by Feynman is worth it. I am 41 years old and i remember seeing super 8 videos of him in grammar school from my science teacher. Brilliant and engaging.
Actually you are correct.
For true life insurance(say 100k USD+, but generally 250k is the bar) you have to prove that there is an insurable interest. Kids, wife, someone who is going to miss that income. Someone that depends on you. And it is based on income being currently earned. Disability income does not count.
Really? Are you 100 years old?
I am 40 and I never knew anyone who could recognize the tone or rotary system clinks to the corresponding number pressed.
CGI started in the 1970s and continued through the 80s, long before that television show or movie.
Westworld, Wrath of Khan, Star Wars, the Last Starfighter all cme to mind. And of course Tron.
Partition Logic, Partition Magic, and the other tons of free are paid for partitioning tools. Not to mention the one built into the os.
Logic would dicate the install is looking for a partition for the OS.

Yes, bless the Swiss who financed th Nazis in WW2 and also had kept Holocaust's victim's accounts as their own.
Court doc. Seems all the phones were sold to them by an undercover agent as stolen goods. http://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/case_docs/1136.pdf

It is called mutton if the sheep is mature. Lamb if it is, well a lamb. Lamb is under a certain age, still young and tender.

You are aware you also by an Xbox with the Kinect built in as well? Jeez, my ass is in the 3rd world and I know that.
You never saw the Blackhole did you? 1979. Hardly a nice movie. Or Trenchcoat.

There is no insurance company that does not understand technology.

Because "football" and rugby fans are never privy to fights.

Cheaper than a 30 dollar nokia? I doubt it.

Samsung I think. They love to have proprietary connectors.
You might want to read this article, it was written in 1984 before the internets, it sums it up nicely. http://www.porticus.org/bell/whatkilledmabell.html
