I just got back from a vacation. All the hotels that offered free Wifi had it throttled from 0.5 to 1mbit. They offered faster speeds for $5/day. I just flipped on my 4G hotspot and let my family use that. I was pulling 15 up to 60mbit. Still on unlimited data via Verizon thankfully.
Also from my understanding, if there is no wifi password then the data between your devices and the wifi isn't encrypted. Correct me if I'm wrong. This is why I won't use a free wifi without passwords.
Most Ford, GM and Chrysler's are made of parts manufactured overseas and shipped into the US where they are then assembled into the final product. Source, my dad worked at a GM assembly plant where most of the parts were shipped in from either Canada or Mexico.
My brother works as one of these "robot repair men". Him and 4 others travel between several building maintaining about 200-250 various types of robots. So what use to be ~200+ people working was chopped down to ~5 people.
These robots being maintained were most likely built on an assembly line by other robots which are most likely maintained by a hand full of people.
It's not Android, it's the devices manufacture and also the cell network owner to an extent. Android gets patched but the company that makes your phone won't push those patches to your device after it's so old. 1.5+ years seems to be the average cutoff now.
Manufactures will never ever push these patches to devices they deem outdated. This is a major incentive for them to get users to buy a new device. This is one of the few times I feel laws need to be created forcing them to push updates for major or possible minor security holes.
I was under the impression the NSA hired these people to make the botnets to harvest data. Once the NSA is done using it or are near exposure they dump everything on the person they hired and place the blame there.
That's a matter of opinion. I for one hate physical keyboards. My fat thumbs don't get along with them. The on-screen ones don't require any pressure making them much easier for me.
And you're assuming your current ISP isn't acting as a tick and monitoring your use? If you're using Verizon I would bet a large sum of cash they are afterall Verizon did admit to monitoring app usage on phones and selling that data. Comcast is most likely doing but using the data for their own dirty needs.
SQUARE ENIX is the same way. Their ToS over FF14 videos is pretty strict. They don't seem to be enforcing them right now but they could at any point.
Do what Blizzard did and allow big flexibility with using videos and images. It helps get the game out there everywhere. Blizzard even had a set of rules on how you can use images for your own personal website for the game.
They are already hydrogen fueling stations that produce the fuel for these cars right at the station. They use a lot of solar panels to produce the electric needed to split the water. Sure they only work good in really sunny areas but they do work.
Are you sure of this? I always say, It it's created by humans then it can be cracked. You do know the NSA will be ordering a lot of these phones and quickly tearing them apart looking for exploits.
For all we know Microsoft could be tracking us via the OS. if it was true someone would have found packet traces by now but who knows, but in theory it could be done. I'm also going to bet MS tracks everything done via Xbox Live. That's some good info right there to sell to gaming companies and now upcoming video streaming.
Shelling out another $100 just to be able to install apps without going though the app store is one of the most fucked up things ever. You realize you don't really own any iDevice right? Why should I pay a few hundred bucks for a phone then need to get daddy Jobs OK to install something on it?
Me: It's mine, I bought it now let me put anything I want on it. I don't care if you throw a few warnings in my face before install just let me do what I want with it. Apple: Sorry, we can't let you.
Holy hell, someone else knows how this Government works! Glad I'm not alone in this country now.
The government here all argue out in public but once they get behind closed doors they are scratching each others backs and having a grand ole' time together.
I'm betting they see a very small drop in usage/users. I'm going to pick a random percent out of my ass and guess that less than 10% of Dropbox users will even know about her getting on the board and of that a very small % will care enough to drop the service.
But I'm just making a wild guess and have nothing to base my numbers on.

Overseas, other countries.. In other words not made in the USA. We just put the puzzle together.

Tell that to the hundreds of thousands of auto workers that lost their jobs to robots since the 1980's.

And cost 50-100% more than your current top priced console and only play games approved by the ghost of Steve Jobs.

Yet only has 1 gig of RAM. I won't even look at a phone unless it has at least 2.

Or be added to the list of domestic terrorist groups.

And isn't the 1 time fee to Google like $25?

I grew up in Estonia. It actually was't too bad.
Your turn.
Most likely depends on what branch of the tree you and your family were part of.

None of the people you mentioned own the media
Here in America I see it the other way around. The media, which are just large corporations, own the government.
Why can we not start a class action lawsuit against the Government, NSA and those that allow snooping around in personal data without probable cause?
Who?

As we all know, most high level hacks these days come from an internal computer getting infected with something.
