A police officer's job is hard enough, without having to make a split second decision in the dark of night when someone decides without thinking to pull this out while stopped for a motor vehicle violation...
Airport security lines are well lit, and move slowly. Plenty of time for even the dimmest of agents to determine that it's a phone case.
Yes, yes... It's a double-standard, and we all know it. It's going to stay this way until SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT IT!
When companies hire new employees, they ask for references to make sure the applicant was not a complete irresponsible asshole at his last job. I suggest applicants do the same right back at the company: Ask the interviewer for references of people who have left on their own (not fired) so the applicant can call them and ask them why they left.
There should also be a yelp type review of companies on Linked-In (are you listening Microsoft?). This will allow people searching for jobs to determine just what kind of bullshit the company has pulled in the past.
Apple has changed their iPhone connector basically once and that was long overdue.
...And it's *STILL* not a Micro USB connector - despite every other phone in the market has one. (Think Different Indeed!)
Additionally, as a big F*** YOU to everyone who thinks Apple should use a Standard connector, they put a USB-C connector on the Macbook Air, but since there is only the one, they REQUIRE a dongle to use any USB device while charging.
This is proof that Apple knows what we want, and is purposely *NOT* giving it to us.
An alarm might be a deterrent, but only because of the unknowns. If a human guard raised the alarm, the burglar doesn't know if the guard is armed, or how many more guards will arrive, or if they are armed as well. With this weeble bot, a lot of those unknowns go out the window. We already know that the bot is not armed. If a company has one of these bots, then it means they wanted to save money on real human guards, so there will likely be quite a delay before any humans arrive after hearing the alarm.
I would gamble that criminals would TARGET places with these bots more than places with human guards.
Also, how difficult is it to change a tire when it (eventually) needs to be replaced? Every new car comes with a spare and a jack. If you need to have your car towed to the shop every time you get a flat, this just wont work.

It's true everywhere in the US except Nevada.
Kepler replaces Netcraft!
Dude, that's the REVERSE of Pokemon Go!
Vincent, is that you?
It's exactly the same as the existing RasPi 3... Except it won't have Wi-Fi.
Well, then for god's sake, DON'T CALL IT THE RASPI 3!!!!
I was never taught to backup in school. It took a large data loss for me to understand that I should backup my data.
It's a shame that this guy didn't learn sooner....
That won't stop him from suing... That would just make the subsequent court case VERY brief.
This headline sounds a lot like a press release from Pied Piper, the fictional company in the TV show "Silicon Valley".
"He was crying like crazy and he never cries."
Really? A 16 month old child that never cries? I don't believe that.

That exists?!?! Heck, I thought protecting the MBR was a problem that was solved DECADES AGO.

News flash: The WorldWide Web is *NOT* the Internet.
This always confused me. My entire life, I have lived in the Central Time Zone, and we get our film at 10PM every night.
Don't get me started on PS2....

How would running a 32-bit program in a virtual machine on 64-bit hardware help? You would still need a 32-bit OS, right?

More than 100 Nobel laureates also think that everyone should stop worrying about AI's turning into SkyNet.
Along those same lines, more than 100 Nobel laureates think that the undead apocalypse will never happen.
I don't think there were even interstate highways then...

Funny that it's called "parallel parking" when the cars are lined up serially...
