And you all do this from separate internet connections and different browsers? If not, they still now it's you and they don't care if some of them are false. They just aggregate all the data from all the accounts tied to you. Even then, the more accounts FB has (even fakes), the more money they make. Or do you think they believe themselves all their users a real when they advertise their > 1 billion+ users.
Naturally I'd like to shoot people as I have no facebook account.......But I also don't have guns. Why should I have to change my behaviour because I maybe suspect?? What you are saying here is the same thing people told you in the former USSR etc. I think I'd rather move to North Korea then the US at the moment.
His team's Guardian Angels project aims to develop wearable, self-powered gadgets than can warn their users of danger, encourage them to exercise, and collect environmental and health information that could be of use to doctors.
After actually reading the article, it's not Big Brother I fear the most......... Clippy is far, far worse and should be treated as the plague
But you have to respect the way they market it. It's not big brother but angels watching you! Sort of the "Ministry of Love" (Torture and Interrogation) and the "Ministry of Truth" (Propaganda) in 1984.
Maybe all the psycho stalkers en pedofiles out there should also rebrand themself as guardian angels.
The NY Times reports China has once again stepped up its efforts to control the internet, passing a new set of rules by which internet users and ISPs must abide. In addition to requiring that users provide their real names to internet providers, the government says those providers are now more responsible for deleting or blocking posts that aren't agreeable to the Chinese authorities.
Hahaha, use an iPhone with location services on for security? What if I'm a modern child abductor with some computer know how. With the current state of iPhone security I can find your kid so easy now.
I used to have to stalk the kids and wait for an opportunity. Now I just wait for the foursquare checkin at the playground with the twitter message "waiting for mommy to return from the mall" to abduct and rape your kid.
That is not a good comparison. Killing someone is illegal in England and Scotland both, but this is more like getting extradited for wearing uderwear and a kilt. Any Scotsman found wearing underwear beneath his kilt might be fined two cans of beer.
Well Wilders has messed up the current coalition at least:
http://www.rnw.nl/english/article/dutch-government-brink-collapse
Geert Wilders has withdrawn his partyâ(TM)s support for the Dutch coalition government and has called for new elections. Prime Minister Mark Rutte says new elections are now very likely.
But we don't know how many votes he'll get next round. Currently they are down 5 seats to 19 in parlemant in the poll's.
> the unpatched Red Hat 6.x box was broken into and brutally killed enough weeks in a row I ended up naming it "Kenny"
That's what you get for running unreleased versions, Red Hat 6.x wasn't released until the very late 10's..... november 2010 if I remember correctly

Facts and Figures
The new Central Library will annually have contact at least 2.5 million times with visitors looking for information, culture, communication and education. Think of it as 50 times a full Amsterdam ArenA, or 1.500 times a packed to the rafters Concertgebouw. 2.5 million visitors per year, on average 7,000 per day, indicates the importance Amsterdam Public Library has for the city and the region.

* 50 multimedia workplaces
* 110 catalogue terminals
* 26 lending machines
* print and photocopying facilities
* Pin and Chip payment possible
* Education room for 50 participants
* Accessible by train, bus, tram, metro, car and bike

Ever tried DJing on a techno party? Offcourse this is also possible with cd's technically but the feeling of the turntables is very important for people who had to practice years to master the mixing and build their album collection.
This solution wouldn't be very good for that either I admit.
I agree and also noticed the shift to an IP company at Microsoft. People always say MS has until now never abused it's patents... but the "until now" part is the most scary IMHO.
I think they are definately going to try but I personally believe they are not going to make it as there are far more heavyweights backing Linux than they can go up against and the chinese don't care about patents. This will give a problem to the chinese trading in the us, but MS needs the growth in the emerging markets to keep it's shareholders happy. IBM, CA, Cisco, etc. patent portofolio dwarfs MS and it's unavoidable that the y violate lots of them.
Maybe Microsoft should stop producing software at a point and become a company of laywers:-)
Your right that linux can't be bought but your wrong about bankrupting it. All they have to do is manipulate the licensing of the software to include a chunk of change for them. If "linux" doesn't pay they can effectivly stop linux from being viably sold to any market or cause the price to be inflated to enourmous level and stop it's adoption outside indevidual hobyist. Microsoft would be in position to control this with a few more pattens on what everyone has come to expect as the norm for computing.
Don't forget about the huge amount of companies (Software, Hardware, Embedded, etc) and government agencies that have tied themselves to Linux. Maybe Microsoft can kill small parts of Linux but going up against companies like IBM and for example the Chinese government would be a bit too much even for MS.
As there are loads of International users who do not speak english fluently and there are also differences between US english and UK english I do not see it as very important unless the point the comment is trying to make can be interpreted wrong.

Well probably the SUV driving americans will be mad at the pump. And that would be bad for elections...
Plus the added bonus of tracking all the cars.
It's called Fascist corporatism. In the US and a lot of the rest of the world it is Google, Facebook, Foursquare doing it for the goverment.
In China they don't need to do it through proxies:

You're wrong ...... which is why they are doing it naturally...
There are only three now, as Samsung's hdd division has been bought by Seagate http://drive.seagate.com/content/samsung-en-us
And Hitachi by WD http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/23/western-digital-purchase-of-hitachis-hard-drive-business-approv/
Toshiba doesn't really count so now we have a duopoly
