OK, it may well be a little simplistic. People from the premium companies could utilise this foreknowledge and develop exploits before the general population gets notified. But the fact that everyone will eventually get told makes the comment valid.
"No, it's not. First, don't try comparing a life threatening situation with a software bug that might lead to a unpatched system being comprimised.
Secondly, they're not issuing patches or bulletins ONLY for the higher paying customers, they're just letting them know a bit earlier."
This seems perfectly valid practice to me. People who pay more should get better service. Think of the subscribers to/. they get better service than the rest...
Which I think is the whole point. This will slow down the sheer amount of spam that is getting into our inboxes because it will no longer be the cheap alternative.
Three race horses are standing around in the stable talking. The first horse says to the others, "I've been in 10 races and won 6 of them." The other two horses said, "That's pretty good." The second horse says, "Well, I've been in 15 races and won 11 of them." The other two horses were impressed and said, "That's really good!" Then the third horse says, "Well, I've been in 20 races and won 16 of them!" The other horses were very impressed and said, "Wow! That's great!"
A greyhound dog walks up and says, "I couldn't help overhearing you guys and just wanted you to know I've been in 26 races and won 21 of them." The horses all look at each other and said, "Holy crap! A talking dog!"
These days, phones sole purposes is not always making calls. A lot of the new 2.5G phones on or coming to the market currently have digital cameras or mp3 players embedded, this makes them desirable even if the criminals cannot make calls on them.
It'd be interesting to learn how they are publicising this to customers. After all you can't expect all customers to be monitoring the online news reports complaining about online privacy.
A number of companies are doing a similar thing Yahoo! for example, and you generally have to check or uncheck a little box when you're registering for things to stop or allow affiliates receiving info about you these days anyway.
My opinion is it's going to happen, just make sure you're on the ball enough to opt-out when required.
Yes and this implies that the double the number of transistors can be packed into the same space, so what was said was true, from a certain point of view.

...Then we've got a long way to go. Check out the article
That's simply because the people paid higher percentages cause less costs to the employer.
