No, it isn't. It very specifically states that the advertising is turned off for Google Education accounts (thought, it isn't turned off for Google Non-profit accounts).
The only potential problem I see with a Google Education account is that the school owns all the content of the kid, and that the kid has absolutely no privacy from the school if he/she uses the gmail address provided by the school (Google Postini for instance allows a school administrator to archive indefinitely all the incoming/outgoing emails from a gmail account under the control of its own domain).
Correction: My three year old Samsung Chromebook still gets something like 12 hours of battery life (probably more). The Chromebook Pixel, with its higher than retina-resolution and its touchscreen, only gets 5 hours battery life. Just for the price alone, anyone would be crazy to buy a Chromebook Pixel for kids anyway,
The Samsung Chromebook is actually perfect for kids. It doesn't have any games (worth playing). It's not a fun consumption device like the iPad or the Pixel. And nowadays, if you develop a new application for the Chromebook, the framework forces you to write an application that will work off-line by default. You could already use gmail and google docs/drive offline, but offline functionality really used to be an afterthought until very recently.
I don't understand. What does this do that Google Docs/Drive doesn't already do?
Will this get us pixel-perfect wysiwyg editing of Microsoft Documents?
Somehow, I doubt it. Google Docs/Drive doesn't even get that right for PDF documents. I doubt it will get that right for Microsoft Word Documents, which by design are much much worst than PDF documents.
Both grandfathers had workshops, as does my dad, most of my uncles, many of my aunts, my father-in-law, and I have one as well.
Home workshops are just like home gyms and personal swimming pools. They're good to have for you, your family, and the people you invite to, but there is still a need for public swimming pools and gyms that people can use in exchange for a reasonable fee.
There were shops in junior high and high school to do woodworking, welding, automotive, jewelry, and even stained glass.
May be that's the problem. In my high school, the wood workshop was a joke and we didn't have any other workshop available to us. My high school emphasized University admission and Advanced Placement classes over anything that could tangentially apply to learning a trade. We had a computer lab, but our teacher was not qualified to teach us on that subject.
Not that I wanted to learn a trade, but it would have been nice if they had taught us to fix a broken toilet, change the oil of a car, or some practical skill for daily life (let alone real woodworking, welding, automotive, jewelry, or stained glass).
Nowadays, if you want your kid to learn some of these skills, you'll have to teach them yourself and buy all the necessary tools yourself, or take them to one of these specialized Hackerspace/Techshop/Crucible spaces instead. Those community spaces are just filling some of the gaps left by our current school system, and it's good that parents learn about them.
You can't very well have a console loading apps that expect a touch screen, accelerometer, etc.
Android phones technically do not require touchscreens. This was a decision made from the very beginning of Android for accessibility reasons. In China, there are even some super cheap gingerbread Android phones with no touchscreen, but only an hardware keyboard and a D-pad. This decision also made it easier for testing on PC emulators (where most developers still don't have touchscreens on there yet, unless they actually hook up an actual device).
Even if Google let their console use the Play Store, they would have to wall it off into it's own area.
Google Play doesn't wall off, it filters. The Android OS is built with graceful degradation in mind. The filtering is done per granular feature, it doesn't filter for an entire class of device (nor does it filter per model name). And Google Play will only filter when absolutely necessary, as specified by the application developer in the manifest file.
And even then, once you upload your apk, it tells you how many devices you're currently missing out on because of your strict manifest file, and it gives you recommendations on what to do to relax your requirements and make your application compatible on more devices, so the act of publishing on Google Play for the developer has become more like an online game where you try to get as close as possible to 100% coverage iteratively.
Australia, the UK, the US, and Canada are all senior partners in the NSA ECHELON program, so the fact that any of those countries are allowed to compile the code (but other countries are not) wouldn't inspire much confidence in me in either case.
So what? Those governments don't have the right to compile the code.
However, government users will not be allowed to make modifications to the code or compile the source code into Windows programs themselves, Simon Conant, a Microsoft security specialist based in Munich, said.
"Governments under the GSP are allowed to view the code in a debugger, but not compile, redistribute, or actually modify the code," Conant, said. A debugger is a tool used to evaluate software code.
If you can't compile the code, there is no guarantee that you'll be auditing the right code base. If you dig down deep enough, the debugger will start taking you to the wrong lines (as it happens with most software projects, even open source ones), but Microsoft will just explain away those discrepancies by saying that they had to remove some of their testing code and some of their logging statements (an explanation which is sensible enough, but that you can't workaround, because you're not allowed to compile the code yourself, nor have you been provided the exact compiling recipe/code snapshot they've used for their official release).
So whatever you do audit of the code base, Microsoft or the NSA can then modify before it gets compiled for your own citizens, and the chain of custody will have been broken thereby completely circumventing your audit in the first place.
It is not difficult to imagine various Alexandria Library scenarios in which Humanity looses crucial information.
Ok, let's imagine wikipedia going down like the Alexandria Library did.
So what? People will have kept snapshots of Wikipedia (at the very least). Wikipedia's content is not constrained by its physical medium, nor is it constrained by a copyright license that prevents republishing. Barring the end of the world, wikipedia content will live on just fine.
The private investors are just the public face of this venture.
Their accounts receivables are insured against loss by the French government. This is a way for the French government to partially subsidize its own aerospace industry (in this case, the satellites are made by a French and an Italian joint effort), and at the same it's a way to control which war lords/governments in Congo, Ivory Coast, Mali, or Syria get free satellite internet access, and which war lords/governments in those parts of the world do not.
In other words, this infrastructure is a way to buy yourself some influence in those parts of the world (where French influence has been slowly shrinking otherwise).
Because phillips heads are easily damaged when screwing and unscrewing them. And pentalobe aren't.
An idea fine in theory, but not in actual practice and/or usability
The end result being that many people just end up stripping those pentalobe screws completely bare because they use the wrong security screwdriver for the job. And then, it's no longer just the user who's locked out of his/her hardware, it's the Apple technician who can't get into the case without breaking it.
Not that this is a problem for Apple, if their proprietary Pentalobe screws are stripped bare, they can just charge the customer for the consequences (just like they would have done if the phillips heads had been stripped also and the case unable to open).
And did you notice? Just before that quote, Sherwin Smith had said that all the people who originally complained had backed down once he gave them a phone call, so they didn't have to do any water testing. In light of the terrorist comment, it's now obvious what he told them to make them back down.
This guy shouldn't just be fired. He should be put on leave on absence and he should be investigated for possible criminal negligence. And all the complaints he received should be re-investigated by an impartial third party.
If someone, that had formally complained, now dies because this guy didn't want to test the water, it will be his head and the heads of any of his superiors that support him, that will roll because of their willful negligence.
I know it's customary on Slashdot not to read the articles before commenting, but here is the relevant part:
Before starting the operation, I briefly recorded myself explaining the planned event, and once again, talked about the importance of not revealing any PHI (patient's health information).
Do you think he broke any those hipaa rules? Personally, I would have asked the patient to sign one additional release form (as permitted by hipaa) just in case an identifier like their face gets accidentally released on the stream, but otherwise, I do think the surgeon is appropriately covered assuming everyone followed his spoken instructions correctly.
If you're coding for the iPhone, you deal with iPhone 5 screen resolution and iPhone 4/4S. That's 2 screen resolutions.
Try coding for Android, while having fun doing it;)
And one more thing.
Don't think that we haven't noticed your omission of the iPad and the Mini-iPad in your comparison of the "iPhone" vs. "Android" resolution count.
This omission makes me think that you seem to be aware of the insanity it was for Apple to have hard-coded resolutions and aspect ratios into its platform (when it clearly isn't the first time that Apple went back to the drawing board and introduced new form factors that had been verbotten previously).
If you're coding for the iPhone, you deal with iPhone 5 screen resolution and iPhone 4/4S. That's 2 screen resolutions. Try coding for Android, while having fun doing it;)
To an iOS developer who hard-codes screen resolutions and aspect ratios like a Guttenberg-press typesetter would at the end of the 15th century, dealing with screens of different resolutions, different aspect ratios, and different sizes like Android does would seem like an insurmountable task to him/her, but that's one of the easiest problems to deal with once you start understanding the Android fundamentals and once you start writing your application the Android way (although, some veteran iPhone developers don't even try to do that when developing for Android, so they end up writing an android application like they would have an iPhone application).
If you're going to complain about the Android fragmentation, then complain about bluetooth compatibility between all the different Android devices. That is a pain, a real pain (assuming your client insists on compatibility between all Android phones/tablets, and not just the bluetooth compatibility of certain models with the same chips -- the latter of which is easy enough to do).
Getting market share because you re selling junk like this the Samsung Pocket that still comes with Android 2.3 is not helping out anybody. The security implications of running this older OS is also an issue.
Android 2.3.x is for single-processor phones (like the Samsung Pocket).
And no, what you're implying is completely false. Android 2.3 gets all relevant security updates (it just doesn't change its major version number on a whim like iOS does). In fact, if you just look at the security community, most of the secure forks of Android are still based on Android 1.6 or Android 2.x, because those older versions have been vetted and analyzed the most.
We've learned many lessons in the fallout from Edward Snowden's whistleblowing and flight to Hong Kong, but here's an important one: Never make your sysadmin mad.
What a silly excuse for linking to (in itself a reasonably good) article on how to relate to sysadmins and IT support in general.
I agree. The summary seems to be trivializing NSA's illegal actions. It also seems to be ignoring the ethical dilemma that can arise when you come to find out that your own organization/company/boss/colleagues are acting criminally.
How nice that, after these revelations, suddenly all of these companies are coming forward with data and vows to fight or announcing requests to reveal information, etc. Where were these Brave Defenders of Consumers^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^HCitizens before Snowden?
In the case of Amazon, it cut off its services to Wikileaks at the request of Sen. Joseph Lieberman (Chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee). That's what Amazon was doing before Snowden. They didn't wait for an injunction, they didn't wait for Wikileaks or Assange to be brought upon charges (they've helped the US government deal with Wikileaks, without having to enter the messy US court system and all the rights that could possibly imply for the defendant).
And now suddenly, Amazon is getting this big fat 10-year contract from the CIA for a private cloud (that IBM is challenging every which way). Oh thanks Senator Lieberman!! And thank you US taxpayers!!! Amazon may not like to pay taxes, but it sure likes benefiting from them!
I catch all the typos in my books. They irritate me. I'd probably crack 'em, fix them all, and goddammit, that'd be "circumvention".
You won't have to. If this becomes popular, you'll just have to get all your ebooks from p2p.
Like most DRM schemes, it's only the legitimate customers who will lose access to the higher quality content. This is essentially what happened with audiobooks. If you want a high quality audiobook, you don't get it from Audible (which purposefully degrades their quality), or even if you do end up getting an audiobook from Audible, you end up downloading the very same title from p2p because what you find on p2p in the category of audiobooks is usually of much higher quality and of a higher bitrate (than what they're trying to sell online).
So what do they do with my locked and encrypted device? I surely cannot be compelled to remember the password after being in an accident. The trauma could easily explain why I can't remember.
Most people do not encrypt their phone (unless their job requires them to), encryption-down-to-the-hardware is a drain on the battery, it heats up your phone, and it makes everything you do on your phone slower (this usually means that the person with an encrypted phone will usually be carrying two phones, one for the job that's encrypted and one that's personal and unencrypted). Most likely, the police will just plug in your personal unencrypted phone into one of their devices, and copy everything there is on it in less than two minutes.
The same reasoning that says you could have been talking on your phone while driving, or texting, could be used to justify that they check that you were not chatting through other applications, tweeting, checking facebook, checking email, inputting/querying a new address into the gps, or taking pictures of the scenery, etc. so the reasoning will go that they might as well just copy everything on your phone since it's definitely easier to do that than having to manually thumb through your phone and check every possibility from the side of a road.
Actually, the latest version of Office RT (2013) does include Outlook.
Yes, the latest version, which doesn't have a formal release date yet, which will be "coming out soon", does include Outlook. That's certainly good to know.
If you're one of the lucky teachers or one of the students however, like those in the article, don't count on getting Outlook without being forced to pay full retail for Outlook separately, or pay full retail for Office RT (2013), or pay for full retail for an Office 365 subscription instead. After all even on the more expensive Surface Pro, the Office Home & Student 2013 edition does not include Outlook. And there is no reason to believe this is going to change for the RT edition once Outlook RT does get released.
And even with their limited plans, you don't have a cap - you just get throttled to EDGE speeds if you go above the cap.
Which may be true for some peoeple, but in my case, whenever I get above the 2 GB threshold on T-Mobile, it takes me to edge, but then it's soo slow, everything and anything I try to use just times out (even email).
Now don't get me wrong, the Unlimited data plan for Sprint is also a lie. First of all, Sprint tacks on a dummy $10 premium data fee, which they don't mention when they compare their rates with their competitors in advertisements (the fact that the FTC or the FCC hasn't fined them for false advertisement is beyond me). Plus their 4G unlimited data used to be great in my home apartment, but then it got so bad, I couldn't even get 1 single byte of data even on 3G using their network (even thought, I never changed my home address, they're the ones who either became oversubscribed, or shut down towers in my area a year or two ago). Sprint should just have called their data plan the Unlimited Data Premium No-data plan, that would have been more truthful.
Actually, DNA looks great under ultraviolet light. They can just shine a light on you at night, then they can swab you to make sure it's not yourself, or someone else, who sprayed their DNA all over you.

Is Google using the same boilerplate contract?
No, it isn't. It very specifically states that the advertising is turned off for Google Education accounts (thought, it isn't turned off for Google Non-profit accounts).
