I could see stopping enhancements, but actually taking the games down seems pointless.
It'll all become clear when they announce PetVille 2, Mafia Wars 3, etc., etc. Zynga would rather just delete all the virtual goods paid for through microtransactions and nudge those people to buy everything all over again, but doing it this way lets some people think they're getting an upgrade and not just a server reset.
Seriously? You're pinning the uprising of thousands or perhaps millions of Arabs against their long-time hated dictatorial governments on Bradley Manning?
In the US, Hasbro holds the trademark for "Memory" as applied to card matching games. So what happens if Hasbro decides to develop a "Memory" app for the iTunes store? (They already have one for Simon.) Who would Apple decide should win that battle?
Bender: You humans are so scared of a little robot competition you won't even let us on the field. Fry: What are you talking about? There's all kinds of robots down there. Bender: Yeah, doing crap work! They're bat boys, ball polishers, sprinkler systems. But how many robot managers are there? Fry: Eleven? Bender: Zero! (He throws his bottle on the floor and it breaks. A small robot comes out and cleans it up.) And what a surprise! Look who's scraping up the filth! Is it a human child? I wish!
receiving at a first server system information related to users of a social network site hosted on a second server system;
determining by the first server system a social network graph for at least a portion of the social network from the received information, the graph comprising a plurality of nodes connected by links, each node corresponding to a user that is registered with the social network and that has a profile page on the social network;
identifying first nodes from the plurality of nodes as including content associated with a particular subject of interest;
seeding the identified first nodes with first scores that indicate profile pages for the identified first nodes are positively identified as including content associated with the particular subject of interest;
determining second scores for second nodes of the plurality of nodes based on propagation of the first scores from the first nodes to the second nodes using the links of the social network graph, where:
each of the determined second scores corresponding to a second node indicates a likelihood that a profile page for the second node contains content associated with the particular subject of interest,
a particular second score for a particular second node is determined based on a combination of scores for neighboring nodes that are connected to the particular second node by one or more of the links, and
a particular profile page that is associated with the particular second node is determined to have at least a threshold likelihood of containing content that is associated with the particular subject of interest when at least a portion of the scores for the neighboring nodes exceed a threshold score; and
providing by the first server system the determined second scores for the second nodes.
If you're dissatisfied with that, put your money where your mouth is, and join us. Currently, the available listings require someone with an engineering Ph.D. or equivalent industry experience, but we will probably have openings for people with 4-year engineering degrees soon.
This isn't fucking Wikipedia. Read the article, decide for yourself whether the story is credible or not, and move on.
Also, don't assume that just because Glenn Beck is a nutjob, everything his website writes is his typical rambling insanity. In this case, the article points out an actual problem with electronic voting machines, namely that the touchscreens can go out of whack, and people might have problems selecting their chosen candidate if that happens.
This is also a detail that TFA discusses, noting that the Google ID badge just has the employee's name on it, and is relatively nondescript otherwise. All the rest of the info is RFID or something. (I'm sure somebody from Google could confirm/deny this, if anyone's still reading this thread at this point.)
It says right there in the fucking article: "What was I supposed to do, look for the guy with Google shirt? How did I know this guy didn't work for Apple?"
I'm pretty libertarian and think there are far too many laws in this country but this is one of the cases which makes me favour some law over anarchy.
To most libertarians, the most important laws are those which limit what the government and its agents are permitted to do. Those laws failed to protect this guy, because the agents of the government acted in violation of the laws. Hence the earlier comment about the guy suing the cops' asses off.
But you don't have to get added to a group against your will for that to happen. The group-adder in this case could have instead posted a cheerful "We were glad to have you at the Queer Chorus last night!" to the outed person's wall/timeline (or even as a comment to a post if the person has wall posts set to self only), and the same damage would have been done.
A truly free market is based on perfect information, in which everyone knows that these knockoffs are knockoffs and can make a rational decision whether to buy a knockoff or the real McCoy. Paul Ryan may not agree with this, but a true supporter of the free market would support regulations to fix this source of imperfect information and thereby permit the free market to solve the problem on its own.

Just curious what your face detection technique was.
Just to be pedantic, this is a publication of a patent application, not a patent.
They can have my violent video games when they pry them from my cold dead hands!

Here are the rules concerning that. See page 10.

but I keep hearing about medications that claim to keep your Cox up any time you want it up.
If your Cox stays up for more than four hours straight, you should seek medical attention. Fortunately, this doesn't happen too often.

who has done more to change the face of the world, for the better
Such as.........?
Hasbro actually *holds the trademark* in the US. Why would they need to license it there?
We shouldn't execute people, because we're not really sure that we're killing someone who's guilty.
Maybe we shouldn't execute people because it's wrong.
On the other hand, some of these things aren't exactly bottle rockets.
I think the answer to this question is best summarized by a quote from Hellraiser II:
"It is not hands that summon us - it is desire."
So it is with speech. Speech is present only by its intent.

Okay, how about your name? I hope that's not classified. Then we can just look it up that way.
Also, what's the deal with caps lock? Why the hell is that key still on the keyboard? NOBODY uses it
My dad uses it. It's like he's still yelling at me every time he sends me an e-mail. /cry
No, actually, they patented this:

breeding plants which create their own insecticide?
The seed in question here doesn't produce its own pesticide. Roundup Ready plants are engineered to be resistant to the herbicide Roundup.
They didn't even have 37 people there. But maybe some Geniuses would have taken one for the team.
