We're talking about a USB stick. I just updated my TAILS USB... password, trusted repository, good to go. If you want, you can use a Live CD but then you can't have any encrypted local storage.
I've used TAILS to do banking when I'm traveling and only have access to dodgy WiFi or hotel computers. I've found that it will boot and run on most any computer... sometimes you need to call up the boot menu and select the USB drive, other times "it just works". It boots and runs from the USB stick and doesn't use the computers mass storage at all. It performs a wipe of the RAM on exit. It encrypts everything, uses HTTPS and TOR; has a minimal secure browser and a more full featured insecure browser. OpenPGP for email and documents. However, it probably has some vulnerabilities. For instance, a hardware keylogger on the machine... however, they have a randomized on-screen keyboard to use to get around this. That said, this "security" company which sent out this press release seems like your typical collection of greedy entitled bastards who aim to benefit financially from their FUD.
An app won't give you much anonymity. You need to start from the ground up with an OS that leaves no trace on the hardware and has good encryption and anonymity tools built in. Here's a good start: TAILS https://tails.boum.org/
I got a really rude telemarketer call from a "government grants agency" wanting to give me money. I played along for a while but the guy caught on and ended the call with a sexist racist slur.
I'll be so dangerous driving down the road with my headlights flashing, wipers on, sunroof open and doors locked! Now, if they could do the turn signals, they would really have something there.
I am not a business expert but agree that MS probably has a lot of dead wood and poorly managed employees. Mass layoffs are one way to deal with this problem and this is what most companies do periodically. However, it seems to me that it is a sign of a poorly managed company if they need to do mass layoffs. A well managed company would be continuously evaluating employees and their work and making adjustments to personnel requirements every month. It seems supremely stupid for a company to suddenly wake up one day and discover that it has an extra xx thousands of employees. If a company is continuously adjusting personnel, it is also much easier on the employees since there are more opportunities to move employees to more appropriate jobs, re-train them for new tasks, or, failing that, provide comprehensive out-placement service. This would define a company which values human resources. Unfortunately, these MS employees are likely to be unceremoniously dumped with minimal chance of re-employment.

I have a BofA credit card in California. I went to Seattle for the weekend and BofA blocked my credit card. BofA is terrible. I'm going to Europe in a few days. I called them to tell them I'm traveling. I don't have high expectations that they won't block my card again. I have other cards.
OK. I know nothing about 3D scanners but the subject of TFA and the others mentioned here all seem to be just stereo image capture. These might be useful for something but certainly not for duplicating the object in a 3D printer. To me, real 3D captures an object from all sides... a 360 degree sphere. These 3D cameras just capture one side view and try to calculate depth of that side from stereopsis. So... beyond making slides for my View-Master, what good it this? http://www.fisher-price.com/en...
If you would RTFA (I know... asking too much) you will see an actual photo before and after of the parking space. Before, there were no markings and after they painted big diagonal lines indicating "no parking".
This is a common misconception. You clearly believe in the "save your money and you'll get rich" myth. This doesn't work. You can't legitimately earn enough money to get rich. Rich people become/remain wealthy by figuring out some scam where they collect large amounts of money from other people. Most of these schemes fall under a "business" category although some inherit money. Rich people are notorious for wasting money on useless stuff. They don't care if they waste money. They have lots and more is coming in every day from the suckers who are stuck overpaying for whatever monopoly goods and services they have set up as their scam.
Rich people's problems. Dude, it's an expensive car. Bend over and take it like a man. You are overpaying for an expensive status symbol. So, the more you overpay, the more status. You can complain to all of your other rich friends how much you overpaid for the car. Just think, you'll be the envy of your friends when they find out that you paid $108,000 for a $90,000 car. Dude, you the man.
In the last few months, all three of my children have ditched their small screen, walled garden iPhones for Android phones. They did not do this by mistake. They did it intentionally. They are happy with Android. Tim Cook is delusional (or, more likely, blowing smoke)
Wow! I just can't believe how Apple is leading the pack! I can now use Bing! This is a real breakthrough. It will take years for all of those other lamers to catch up.
Asshole is not really very specific. Actually, I think they are greedy entitled bastards. I'm sure they are nice to you in person. Of course, that doesn't say anything about what they really think of you. It's just that to get and keep large amounts of money requires a greedy, entitled mindset and their behaviour towards the peasants is usually focused on extracting money from them or denigrating them as lazy, etc. Occasionally, they will undertake "charity" with a small part of their wealth. These are usually projects which stroke their ego such as the "arts" or church or some pet project. They would never give away enough of their wealth to cause them any discomfort. They always choose "deserving" recipients who share their values.
Probably. Rich people aren't like you and me. They are rich because they are willing to do whatever it takes to get rich and that usually includes being an asshole. If you have a conscience, you don't take money from others just so you can have a bigger house, car, etc. Lack of social conscience, empathy and caring for others is the way you get rich. So, yes, you can pretty much equate being rich with being an asshole.
