It is clear that no one read TFA. This isn't about teens revealing too much information on social networks, but how teens adapt to public communication channels by "cloak[ing] their messages either through inside jokes or other obscure references". It is darn clever, and something teens have been doing, well, since before I was a teenager.
That's probably the most interesting part of the story. Because of what they did in 2005, they might not be able to do it again. By over-estimating the amount they would need, they kept the price of NAN down. Because they had deals with almost everyone, all those NAN suppliers made too much. From TFA:
Back in 2005 Apple pre-paid $1.25 billion to five NAND flash memory suppliers to ensure they would be able to supply Apple with memory through 2010. That was a five-year supply agreement (see Apple to pre-pay $1.25 billion for flash memory) that made sure Apple could continue its apparently inexorable rise as a mobile consumer electronics supplier. The five NAND flash memory suppliers were the same as those listed above although how the pre-payment broke down was not revealed at the time.
Apple also then proceeded to give its suppliers an indication of its estimated future needs year-by-year so that the vendors could tailor their manufacturing to meet its needs. The only problem was that towards the end of the five-year agreement Apple was reportedly accused of always over-estimating the need causing the flash memory vendors to be always in an oversupply situation and unable to raise prices. These accusations circulated in South Korea during 2009 (see Apple accused of NAND price manipulation).
Not my American 2013 Golf TDI. In fact, for 2013 VW released a new misfueling adapter on the tank neck that prevents smaller gas nozzles from working. The upside is that now we can use the truck stop high-flow nozzles. Fills up my small tank really fast!
I really miss the RSS functionality from the last version of Apple Mail. I really liked being able to have my favorite feeds in the same place as my email, but separate from my Inbox. It was nice that each feed was separate, instead of munged together.
Why this trend away from RSS I wonder? It is because Google wants you to use G+ as the reader for all your "feeds" in some Facebook-wannabe fashion?
Yep. My favorite scene in Independence Day was when they got to the asteroid and Denzel Washington killed those two aliens and was all like "Welcome to Mars, man! Would you like to know more?"
To date, this remains the deadliest school killing. The guy had a gun, but chose explosives.
I'm not going to pitch in on this emotional debate, save to point out that if you outlaw guns, crazy people will still find ways to kill other people, and in mass numbers.
That may be exception to the rule, instead of statistically significant. Gun-control laws in Australia show different results:
Though gun-related deaths did not suddenly end in Australia, gun-related homicides dropped 59 percent between 1995 and 2006, with no corresponding increase in non-firearm-related homicides.
There's more than a decade of experience with "they will use something else for mayhem" not proving to be true. I agree most of the NY law is just plain dumb, but if any positive change is going to be made we have to throw out the dumb notions and misconceptions on both sides.

The designs are in English.
Not only that, but I hear the designs don't even use metric measurements. Good luck figuring them out!

Does this mean Perl will see a boost in the next TIOBE index?
I don't speak Hebrew, but I got a pretty good idea of the lyrics from the Perl.
Maybe your problem was leaving your kids in diapers until they were 7?
Unless he had multiples, they don't all arrive at the same time. Sometimes just as soon as one is out of diapers, another one pops out.
But really there's no difference between QuickOffice being the "winner" over Google Apps, since Google owns them both:

Exactly.
"Hey, can I use your computer to..."
"No."
Who doesn't have a smartphone/tablet these days to do such things?!
Also, stop bitching that someone else didn't execute your vision.

A mobile fortress engine actually needs gobs of torque, not horsepower. Diesel generally provides gobs of torque.

Unless you've got a truly ridiculous commute, you can probably bike to work without taking much more time than driving.
I work from home, you insensitive clod!

I'm not seeing what's "highly disruptive" about that.
Well, it would be highly disruptive to your wallet.
No; 0install isn't a commercial project.
You know you can advertise a non-commercial project, right?
The elephant in the room.
Kind of amazing that microsoft has had the nerve to go after Google's privacy practices, when its own regarding Bing generally arent as good.
Exactly. My favorite is the quote:
Scroogled will go on as long as Google keeps Scroogling people,' said a Microsoft spokesperson
You hear that splash, too? Yes, it is the sound of Microsoft jumping the shark.
You wouldn't download a movie that falls apart after 8 uses would you?
I'm not too sure; there are plenty of movies I've only watched a few times. If there was a discount for the 8-use one, I might consider it.
But I would love for someone to make the chairs.
.. making the product unusable without some carpentry skills
I'd have an unlimited supply of chairs, easily culled from people that don't know how to fix 8-use chairs. And a whole mess of Arduinos as a bonus!
I see what you did there, you Wu, you.
Yep. My favorite scene in Independence Day was when they got to the asteroid and Denzel Washington killed those two aliens and was all like "Welcome to Mars, man! Would you like to know more?"

It might be just you. I haven't noticed any of these problems, and each ML update makes Safari snappier (TM).

I got it from some guy selling tiger protection rocks...
Does he also sell tiger blood? I've heard that stuff is the business...
