Although Gates made security and privacy top priority four years ago, not much progress has been made.
Exactly as was predicted by knowledgeable people at the time: "Adding security to an existing, large insecure system will, in my judgment, prove an impossible task."

...any more than they need the support of religion.
The phenomena of population biology will continue whether right wing fundamentalists agree or not, and whether big business funds their exposition or not.
Much as gravity will continue whether anyone in particular agrees with it or funds it or not.
Nature and reality are not greatly interested in your views or your money.
Google envisions a world in which all content is free
That's the current world. All content is free.
What's protected by copyright is expression, not content.
And what the writer meant to say here was Google envisions a world in which all written or created material is free. The content, if any, of that material is free now, no vision needed, it's a reality.
There is no "content creation industry" or "content industry" in question here. You mean the programming or entertainment or video production or TV industry.
Content is not being created here. Video is. Shows are.
The flags prevent copying of bits, not content.
The content (if any) expressed in video encoded by those bits, is another matter.
For instance, consider a news segment in which a talking head reports that a serious storm is approaching New Orleans. It is entirely legal to pass along the content: a serious storm is approaching New Orleans. The bits that are a specific expression of that content may indeed by copyrighted or otherwise protected. The content is not.
Actually, that's the house odds. The house still has an edge even when the odds are even. The house has a much larger pot, hence the house can afford to be much more behind in the short run than you can. This turns out to be a substantial edge. It's even more of an edge when (as is almost universally the case) the house also has better odds than you do.
Exercise for student: simulate a two player game with even odds and player A has 50 times the pot player B has. Run a few hundred games to completion. A will clean out B almost every time. Now give player A a slight odds advantage. Player A will find it hard to lose.
In casino gambling, player A is the house, player B is a pool of customers. Over time at any given time in any given game, sometimes A is ahead, sometimes B, but A can be afford to be further behind. B must stop when he has "reached his limit"; exhausted his pot. With a much larger pot A almost never has to do this; A can afford to keep playing until he wins. Combine this with A's odds advantage, you can see why A likes to bet on this game.
Now if B had 50 times the pot that A had, it would be no problem at all for B to spot A that 0.5% odds advantage. B would still clean up. The problem comes in when A has 50 times the pot and an odds advantage on top of that.
Once you realize that, the allure of transferring money to others fades somewhat.

Anyone who says "no software for users to install" should do a little user support in the real world. Watch as users hit sites that use some feature not found in their browser, or not working right in their browser.
No software to install? What do you call finding, downloading, installing, and configuring that next version of the browser, or that other browser?
I think I'll send out a fleet of ships designed and built with thousands of serious leaks in their hulls, and, as they sink to the bottom, they send back sophisticated damage reports.
Or wait, here's an idea: how about I fix the f**king leaks.
There's nothing wrong with a honeypot, but you really don't learn much from exposing systems already known to be utterly insecure.
After seven days, the content will be automatically deleted from the user's computers.
No, after seven days the show will be deleted. Or the audio and/or video will be deleted. The content, if any, will not be deleted any more than the format, presentation, or volume.
Windows has an advanced, highly effective software update method for the enterprise: it's called viruses. Such a bargain for only $15,000, you get all sorts of software delivered to your desktop.
Take a look. No wires, see? That's what puts the Wi in WiFi. Wi means wireless.
You've fallen into the cell industry-speak of calling cellphone "wireless". In fact there are a lot more wireless options than cell, as this current discussion illustrates.
And as the cell industry would prefer didn't exist. Which is perhaps why the word "cell" never comes out of the cell industry's mouth. Nope, it's always "wireless" as if they defined it.
Hey, here's another one: "Windows". There's a software vendor that calls its product "Windows" as if there were no other windowing systems out there.
As the article summary notes, this isn't a problem for dual-tuner PVRs.
Wrong.
Dual-tuner PVRs are used among other things to record two shows at once, sometimes back-to-back with other shows. Guess what happens when you use the padding to extend the time: you lose that capability. You're in effect reduced to using one tuner. The other is used occasionally for a minute or so of overlap.
True, in general they're not. Although some blogs are run by journalists and meet standards of journalism.
However what blogs can do is supplement news reporting. For instance this blog covers the U.S. federal trial of Big Tobacco, including coverage you won't get anywhere else. It supplements the coverage you do get on this story from regular news reporting.
How it works: the folks running this blog are out in the world: they're attending this trial every day. They're filing reports every day of what they see and hear there. There is also commentary. It doesn't pretend to be journalism. But it is supplementing news reporting, giving you more access to the trial than you're getting from regular news reporting.

Nope.
What Google is selling is video, not content. The content if any contained in that video is freely available.
I tried "Malcolm Arnold" "Bach" "Frederick Fennel" and
"Steve Reich". It failed for 3 out of 4.

Sorry if you thought otherwise.
You mean shows. Content, if any, could be in either ads or shows.
No, he's lifting expression from wikipedia.

The CNS events add what to the account?
Google returns 574,000 hits for "creation science".
Obviously those must be valid terms and refer to real and legitimate things in the world.

The correct statement is images in high definition format will not display.

No, format will be customized for the device.
The content, if any, is another issue.
As opposed to censoring format perhaps?
You mean censor. Just plain censor.

Once again, it's recordings referred to here, not music.
Simple test: if it's identical every performance, it's a recording. Indeed that's a good thing for a recording. For music, it's death.
