I've looked into the Macs and it's similar in that it's coil whine but from the coils in the power supply and not the graphics. Most switching power supplies work at higher frequencies (that is, much higher than 50/60 hz) and produce that sound when the right amount of current passes through them. Many devices using switching supplies (which is most electronics devices) make that sound. All the NEC lcd monitors in our office have a faint whine to them as well, and also power supply related.
Every time I hear another story like this I think of Person Of Interest. I'm starting to think that show is based on reality and not some futuristic sci-fi dreams.
If you're already holding a cell phone then texting 911 is a bit lame when you can just call. You'll get a lot more back and forth communication in 1 minute on a call that you could ever get with texting.
"help in the development of new coffee varieties better able to endure drought, disease and pests,"
Sounds a lot like Monsanto. GMO to fight against pests will certainly backfire at some point in the future. It sounds more like, let's do it because we can, and not because there's good reason.
What's the difference between receiving 100 emails over the course of a week while you're away, and getting 100 emails on the first day back? You still have to go through the messages either way. Either way, the employee has the option of reviewing the messages periodically through the week or dealing with them when they get back to the office anyway. It's kind of a non-issue.
I agree with Jason Levine's comment above, "Proper out of office messages will also give you the name and number or e-mail address of the person to contact if this is an urgent matter."
If the story 60 Minutes did on this is anywhere accurate it doesn't surprise me the cheating is a huge problem. The state of repair of the facilities and systems was so bad, it showed to me that no one in the Command is paying attention. I don't want to say no one cares, but it looks pretty bad. The state of repair of their systems is probably the same as their staff.
Really? You would rather forego USB3 and throughput in favour of a mouse connector you can plug in without fishing around? Just how often are you plugging in your mouse? In the case of Apple's reversible Lightning connector they embedded a chip in the connector housing to facilitate that, and to no less surprise, detect whether you're using a genuine Apple cable or not. All that makes their USB/Lightning cable over $20. Is that what you prefer?
Doesn't say much for AMD when they're comparing to Intel's entry-level processors. And they lost me at integrated ATI graphincs. I gave up on their shitty drivers many years ago. Doesn't matter how fast their GPUs are if the software side is full of bugs. They'r ethe best example of "just get it out the door. we'll fis the bugs in teh next version", But they never do...
That's pretty much the same view I had of the whole cable thing. I was spending $75/mo on cable, or $900/yr. I figured I could cancel my cable, buy an OTA antenna and build a DVR PC with the savings. The antenna was $40 and the PC was $700 (i3-based PC with Win7 and a Hauppage 2250 dual tuner). I run Windows Media Center which has been incredible. I PVR pretty much everything I want and have more programming on the drive than I could ever watch. I broke even after 10 months and that was 2 years ago.
Best part is, the picture quality kills cable. I'm fortunate that I live in Toronto on the 20th floorof a condo so I can pick up 20 US and Canadian channels but I have an AppleTV as well which I solely use for Netflix.
So I went from $75/mo to $7.99/mo and I'm happier than I've ever been.
Sad to see how they all do what the other ones are doing, but in a way I admire her courage to stand up and admit her mistake. Sucks to be her but maybe it'll make a few others wake up too.
Does this still have to get passed by the EU parliament too?
What kind of moron buys 10 year old software? If you're too narrow minded to see the benefits of Win 7 over XP then you probably got what you deserved (and probably don't see the difference anyway). Seriously? Is Win 7 too expensive for you, or not up to your standards? Really?

yes, unfortunate. This has now become now a PHEICal matter.

Seems to me Apple should have been the one calling for authentication, not the customer. Definitely Apple's err.
I agree to an extent. It's not really what this site is about.

Probably better odds of finding ET than winning the lottery
I would have thought they would have had a plan a long time ago.
I think you missed the point. Google has published the patches but the carriers have not distributed them.
Sounds fair to me. IT is a .com after all.
I don't think they'll release a Windows 8 Classic because there'd be no difference between it and Windows 7 (other than having removed Media Center.)
They should be ditching Balmer, not the Entertainment Division. Behind almost every failure is a failing management team.
Whatever...
In their small town of a little over 8,000 men, it turned out that everyone was related.

So with 700 million unique visitors per month, everyone on the planet has been to their site at some point in the last 10 months?

Could it be that . ...this suggests that religions have harnessed, or exploit, the brain areas that have evolved to process big tech brands.
