I highly suggest you read the article since the summary is highly edited to make Google look bad. Example: Google didn't send a private investigator. It sent a single Google employee who was jerked around by the bartender and his friend because they wanted to cling to their powertrip. The only lawyer was just guy the bartender knew. Google even offered to give the bartender guy a free phone if he promised to be quiet about the leak until the phone was announced at the Android event.
Bad Luck Google: Sends a guy to pick up a lost phone. Gets screwed around by the people who found it. Still offers a free phone to the guy. Gets called evil by the Internet.
I'm shocked, shocked, I tell you! They could do that despite Chromebooks using the exact same UEFI secure boot that Windows 8 uses? Are they wizards? Or was all the Windows 8 stuff just FUD?
Feel free. Just don't ever expect to have another pre-Abrams style Star Trek movie ever again. I don't think Paramount will ever forget that the JJ Abrams "Star Trek" is the most popular, highest grossing movie in the series. (Grossing more than First Contact, Insurrection, and Nemesis combined. $336m vs $385m)
First time I've seen a definition of "high quality" that means "20% data loss"
The data isn't lost or blacked out. It's unprocessed. NASA releases images that are fully complete later on, and releases partial images immediately. Also, for an interplanetary mission to receive images as quickly as we are and even in various states of process is frankly amazing.
"When SOPA-PIPA blew up, it was a transformative event," said Dodd. "There were eight million e-mails [to elected representatives] in two days." That caused senators to run away from the legislation. "People were dropping their names as co-sponsors within minutes, not hours," he said.
Self driving cars *never* swerve. They brake. Statistically they know that swerving almost always is worse than the incoming accident. Humans on the other hand will swerve. See all the accidents that occur when attempting to miss an animal crossing the road.
As far as I'm concerned, letting humans drive is putting trust in the other human drivers around me, and frankly, I don't trust them at all. I'd feel much safer if manual driving was illegal.
I especially fail to see how the sub-versions of HTML5 will be any meaningful way different from the living standard since they will all use presumably . To the browser every document using that will be HTML5 with no mention of a decimal point.
Fun fact: Windows Phones already have a feature where if the phone is ringing and you pick it up (say, to see who's calling) and put it back down, the phone recognizes this and turns down the volume of the ringing for that call. Found that out by accident. Heh.
Imagine if the NGI had full access to every driving license...
Let me stop you right there. You can imagine all you want, but I can't ever see the states ever agreeing to a shared ID database. Look at how many states refused to take part in the REAL ID law. At least half the states have flat out refused to comply. Do you think that more than three or four would ever agree to spending state money on an FBI project?
Not as a social network they don't, at least not a social network that has any kind of popularity. The only people willing so sort through porn and spam to talk to grandma are masochists.
Considering the size of Fallout 3, the bug list is pretty short. Personally, I've never had any issues with Fallout 3.
New Vegas is a different story. But then again, Bethesda didn't make New Vegas. Obsidian did.

Take a good look at that first patent. Expect Apple to sue nearly every tablet maker with that one.

While looking look up this effect, I found a neat article about a laser elevator on xkcd: http://blog.xkcd.com/2008/02/15/the-laser-elevator/

And winner for most one-sided Slashdot submission goes to...

*catastrophic ... Gah!
At least, that's what it looks like from the video.
Except... *ahem*.. The catestrophic failure of engine one at T+1:20. Shielding and control systems easily compensated, though.
If you missed it, you can watch the recording at http://www.spacex.com/webcast/, which in my opinion, was the best way of viewing it live.
Also, for most of the US, Walmart caps their maximum wage at $15/hour. Once you hit that, you'll never get another raise in that position as long for as you work at Walmart. http://graphics.nytimes.com/packages/pdf/business/20061002_WALMART/20061002_walmart_memo.pdf
For more than 3.8 million Americans, a wage of $15/hour is more than **double** what they're making right now. http://www.bls.gov/cps/minwage2011.htm

The desktop version of Chrome supports it. Chrome for Android is 3 versions behind the desktop release.

No, Patent D618677 shows how broken the patent system is.

Eh, if the FBI wants to know where I am at all times, they can follow me on Foursquare like everyone else.

You can't judge Bethesda for New Vegas. New Vegas was made by Obsidian, masters of half-finishing games.
Drop NC/ND and the authors who want to use them will find an alternative. Probably a more closed one. This helps no one.
