The article (I read it! Okay, I skimmed) is light on details.
How exactly is putting a server in your house rebuilding the Internet?
How would one of these in every house in Egypt have kept them from turning off their Internet access?
I am going out on a limb and assuming there's more here than a wall socket computer involved. Are these things supposed to talk to each other and build their own network? How will that cross oceans, little alone continents, little alone states, little alone... (etc)
Whoever brought up utilities first used them as an example of something that was far more important that Facebook, that you still can't sue if you lose.
So while they were technically comparing them, it was like comparing the mass of an atom to the mass of the Sun.
Then it shouldn't be playing Jeopardy against humans. The simple fact that it throws the timing of the buzzers off makes this "test" a complete failure. How do they ensure the computer has the same amount of time as Ken Jennings?
This is no longer a test of computer prowess, and instead an advertisement for Jeopardy! Not that it wasn't before. Just that's all it is now.
Also, just because they had a strategy to prevent leaks, and that strategy to prevent leaks itself was leaked, does not mean that one caused the other.
Seriously, I mean the scientific approach wouldn't be that they are delusional, it would be that no evidence has been presented to you. Unless you can scientifically explain away whatever they presented as evidence for their beliefs, the best you have is that you aren't convinced. Not that they are delusional.
Part of the scientific method is to give up after a while. There has not once, ever, been a scientifically valid positive result from a single test for ghosts. Further research in the area, after this much overwhelming evidence, is useless.
Not even close. Psychohistory had nothing to do with simulating things on a computer. It was a mathematical construct to predict human behavior in groups, in the same way that you can predict what a large enough group of atoms will do even if you can't know what any one atom will be doing at any given time.
This is more like a Matrix 0.001 alpha. I imagine their Neo being a little piece of CoreWars code.
Actually, the laws for the entire fucking planet are not in question here. Nor are the laws in the US. The laws that matter are for the region of Japan that this lady lived when the pictures were taken.
I am willing - barring the information that the article didn't bother to supply about if it's legal or not to take pictures while standing in a public place - to assume that Google knew and followed the law and the lady in question has no case. I am also willing to assume that she was involved in the losing of her job, perhaps even more than Google.
Not SFW? It's not SFE(eyes). That woman looks like she's made out of plastic. Like, literally made out of plastic. And the proportions are all wrong. I find myself hoping that she's actually quite pretty and just a victim of an overzealous Photoshop treatment.
That would assuredly benefit you. It would only benefit the company if the money they made from the leaves was greater than the money spent collecting them (which could be tough). I won't speak on if it's good for the planet or not because I honestly don't know. The planet's gotten by for quite some time without leaf removal services, though.

I did that about 6 months ago. I just checked and my account is still there. In fact, it got reactivated so now I have to "delete" it again.
I'll be damned if I'm gonna give a penny to a company that is going to use the money to sue me and my peers...
So they're you're peers, eh? As in peer to peer?
Aaaaaaand here's a lawsuit.
They need to get a LOT more games, and more recent games, before this will ever fly.
We have about 4 dozen of these at work that have been working for hours at a time, every day, for over 15 years.
Why upgrade? You could hammer a nail with them and they'd keep answering calls.
I just bring my iPod and listen to podcasts. Kinda hard when they're drilling but just for normal stuff it makes the time fly by.

I'll be happy so long as they don't just write over all copies of it like they did all those Classic Doctor Who episodes.

Geez, people, correlation =/= causation! /leaks.

I don't know about Cryllic but in English we spell it "Claus"
Unless you're talking about The Santa Clause.
The title of this summary, while technically correct, is deceptive. I read it as "Apple's support sues customer for complaint."
I'm gonna sue!
Not even close.

When did Obama take over the entire government? I thought he was having trouble reigning in the Executive branch.
Or is it "Obama" the new "Liberal Facist Marxist Commie"? Or is it how Canadians refer to the US Government?

If only Firefly and SGU were 30 minute cartoons. /I'd actually watch a 30 minute Firefly cartoon.
And then history, science, math, literacy...
And finally, the very last thing to go will be organized sports.
Because Omega is specifically named in the article.
I know, I know. I read the article. Sorry.
They removed that line after they printed it.

So not only did I miss out on making the joke, but the guy who made it screwed it up?
GP gets -1 Internet and -1 FoodTube.
I subscribe to the trickle up theory of boycotting.
After your first line, I couldn't help but read the rest of your post to the tune of "Sound of Silence."
I got surprisingly far before it broke down.
