Microsoft announced they will change from calling their software 'software' to 'cute puppy' in bid to distance themselves from their reputation as they have now run out of feet to shoot and stick in their mouth.
Asking Siri where to hide a dead body was one of the first favorite phrases when that service came out. She would recommend bogs, swamps and landfills depending on what was nearest. These days she's not quite that helpful, tho...
Jez is part of gawker. gawker loves to gin up controversy. This is how the outfit sells ad space, in which case some ads pose as stories, etc. The more feathers get ruffled, the more eyeballs gather to watch. It's about a busine$$ model, not about bad actors in public or self-restraint or hiding anything. gawker painted themselves into this corner and now they have to live with the monsters they've created.
They're loving how these conversations are helping their bottom line, so be sure you get your cut for helping to promote the train wrecks over there.
Amazon put their infrastructure in place long ago so as to be first into a market they helped pioneer. Projected profits were based on that equipment and how long it was to remain in place.
Fast forward to today and that legacy commitment is a yoke around their corporate neck that creeps toward a negative aspect.
Reminds me of how the large telcos want to squeeze every last penny out of all that copper still in the ground.
Today we have released a public beta build of Yosemite for people who are part of the OS X Yosemite Beta Program. This is an open-to-the- public seed of similar pre-release software that you test for us. The build they received is 14A299l which is identical and not any newer than your current build 14A298i. There is no benefit in moving to the public seed build. Participants in the public seed get access to the pre-release software and a lighter version of Feedback Assistant. We suggest that you DO NOT participate in the OS X Yosemite Beta Program. If you participate in both programs, you may experience the following issues:
* You will have multiple projects listed in your projects list in Feedback Assistant and the AppleSeed portal.
* Installing the public seed build will prevent you from seeing additional software update OS X builds that are only available to the AppleSeed Program.
* If you write bugs using the OS X Yosemite bug form while using the public seed build, they may not get screened.
Please remember your current participation in the Apple Software Customer Seeding Program contains many added benefits:
* You receive additional information in the form of release notes, emails, and bug correspondence
* You have access to a discussion board
* You have access to more detailed bug forms
* Your bug reports are screened by engineering
* You will have access to builds not available in OS X Yosemite Beta Program
We appreciate all that you do for the AppleSeed Program. Your steadfast participation truly makes Apple software a high quality product. If you have additional comments or questions, please post on the discussion board.
My Aunt had a car back in the '50s that had a speed alert buzzer - she'd set it and teld the kids the car could tell when someone was misbehaving - whenever the kids in the back seat started in on each other she'd speed up so it went off. Spooky car that one...
About those 'future missions'. They will be conducted by firms in the private sector, so why do we even need NASA, other than a place for research money to go to die.
....there were electric trams in New York. Then, a major US corporation named GMC lobbied to have them shut down and replaced with fossil-fueled rubber tired buses.
The result is the situation we enjoy today. Not a random act of destiny, but more an act of corporate greed, irresponsibility and old fashioned govt. graft. Welcome to America.
Hole in someone's head, maybe - after all, a simple spreadsheet to track something this basic or a reminder in a calendar with alerts with someone assigned to keep an eye on things would take care of things like this. They're lucky it wasn't held hostage...

...before all those expensive colonoscopy and mammogram centers start trying to debunk this.
I can't wait for this to start debunking them..
How would an ecosystem be designed not to have these sorts of holes but also not to restrict what the owner of a device can use it for?
What..._and_ make money? Will you settle for 2 out of 3? But first, define 'restrict' and don't point to other platforms, thanks.

It's the singer....not the song.
School smarts lose to street smarts.
From the article: 'As the rulebook notes, “watchlisting is not an exact science.”'
'science'?
It's just another opportunity for yet more security issues with yet another promise to stop tracking.
Sounds like someone hit some consumer hot buttons so they could make it an easier to swallow scheme. Beware cons bearing gifts...

Is this an Aussie no to Kyoto, then?
No surprise, really...just one of many more to come, I think.
We're now getting reports from the airline that there was an issue on board, so everything, including being shot down, is speculation at the moment.
