Is anyone as tired as I am over these security risks, especially from CNET? I remember when it was announced that someone could spy thru your window, video tape the lights on your modem and decode your communication. Another day, another risk that only happens in either a lab, workshop or a marketer's imagination. 99% are just to attract eyeballs for ad revenue...especially from CNET.
You do know how hard it is for some US manufs. to try to be allowed into the S.Korean markets, right? Korea practices protectionism as much as any other country or block.
There are many technology and trade agreements in play, with more tapped for future release - actions like this amount to no more than card play in a high stakes give/take game that will take some time to end.
This is just another chapter in the old 'information wants to be free' refrain. And while I'm down with that, I don't think there is much more to be done, as I've lived on three continents, and found it trivial to find broadcast content from other regions around the world if I just made the effort.
Now if they are talking about bundling it all up and creating a delivery service, let me remind how expensive and controlled cable can be in the US, so if I had my druthers, I'd be more inclined to again bring things together on my own, say in the spirit of the guy in Cuba that used a pringles can to pick up CNN from the States, back in the day:)
And really....there is a long list of countries that have strong feelings about what content is available to their citizens, from Singapore (small) to China (big). A full-on WeAreTheWorld channel isn't going to cut it, I think.
...still needy, after all these years.
We know all we need to know about that rock, and we can bounce lasers off drones 'till they vaporize, so this is just another way for NASA to suckle funding off taxpayers.
The plant is real and the headline is a cover up/reverse sneak - because panic.
But hey, if it turns out to be a honeypot, don't expect it to work twice:)
This is all about marketing power, and using devs as mouthpieces. Devs are always either agreeing or arguing, with the new ones either lapping up anything the older ones say or dissing them as crotchety and set in their ways. The only selling I see going on is on what resources to use and which to ignore, and there are always a basket of opinions going in different directions depending on which site you're on at the moment.
If someone can find a way to milk them as a group, beyond, you know...developing stuff, then go for it, but to say they are king makers is a bit of a virtual stretch. Any marketer will see them as just another group.

As someone responsible to approve contracts between African govts. and one if the two major telecoms in China, I can tell you, yes, the country is being (has been since 2005) wired.
The Chinese are following the Japanese model, where you build the communications infrastructure so you can know who is doing what logging, mineral and transportation work, etc., thereby providing your countries' vendors and early place in line with the local government when it's time to bid. It doesn't hurt to loan money to those govt. agencies. with strings tied to spending inside your country as part of that process.
...Theory of Everything held a press conference today, stating "There is no Stephen Hawking."
When asked what the implications were as to whether or not there could ever be a Stephen Hawking, ToE replied "The door is open for a Stephen Hawking in the future, but it can only be a possibility if graphene birds fly out of my lily white butt..."
I say put the Comcast guy in jail....the entire place will have cable by sundown just for his benefit while incarcerated. Don't let him out, or the service will go away too.
Since the actual ability within the populace to write went missing years ago (image the Constitution as a tweet), and since today's culture may not know this, let me be reiterate that the document was 'drafted', meaning the author wrote and thought at the same time. It used to be a common practice to write a statement, and then to consider it in context with the expectation that changes were likely to occur. This doesn't mean he f'd up or someone was holding a gun to his head forcing him to change his mind.
Thinking about what you write and why and how it should be cached for your audience used to be a worthwhile goal.
The real trolls are the ones that mark the OP as a troll...you guys think MS should get a bye on this? You're just as bad as that fucking brain-dead corporation. Suck my ass!
MS just doesn't care beyond kissing up to investors. Never have, never will.
Timothy does, for the usual reasons. He uses a dartboard to pick what everyone gets to see when he's on duty.
Sucks, as usual, but this one seems to a benchmark for low, so bookmark it and we can come back in the future when we need evidence in court for Tim's sanity hearing...should be any day now.
It's just another way to hilight what Google feels is a better place to work. Sweeten the pot and hire workers before your competition. Nothing new in that regard - just publicity.
At someone's expense, of course, but hey, you can't owe your soul to the company store if it's not open..
Well, since you don't list any of those features, we can only assume your question is rhetorical, which leaves it with the typical agenda-smell of someone looking to do nothing more than gin up cheap controversy.
While we wait for that to happen...
I'll take a large order of fries, one 1/4 pounder w/cheese and some of those mystery chicken bits - to go, thanks. And straighten your apron,...greasy butt-cracks this time of day ruin my appetite.
IBM, as one example, has been on this hard since 2002 ( http://news.cnet.com/2100-1008-998264.html ) when the prize was first announced....stop going all lady gaga over stuf that is so old it can't even be recycled properly.

Dr. Sheldon Cooper already explained all this...

Ask to see the last year's quarterly reports that went to Department Supers with signing power over budgets.

Ya' think?
Given that it doesn't list one clinic.
Try a 'report' on how to query clinics. etc. And old in some places, at that.
...what part of 'game' don't you understand?
With expectations like that, drugs are in your future. I recommend the blue pill, btw.
