Really bad definition, since it would ban pretty much all physical contact, include those same stupid politicians shaking hands during elections, or doctors setting broken bones, or you wiping your kid's runny nose.
I'm pretty sure doctors need to be licensed in order to legally practice medicine.
"The good thing is that there's no user interaction needed and the attacker can be anywhere in the world," said Mulliner. "We don't need proximity to the device."
The difference is that Apple doesn't allow the app publisher to pass on this extra cost to the customer. See, normally Readability takes 30% of sales and gives the other 70% to the authors/publishers. Now through the IAP, Apple wants to take a 30% cut, so Readability should have the option of charging the customers a little extra for using the iPhone app. However, Apple doesn't allow this. Apple requires purchases/subscription made via the IAP to be at equal or lower prices to those made through other channels.
This is like a store chain opening a branch at a high-end shopping mall, but the mall not allowing the store to sell the merchandise at higher price to compensate for the higher rent.
Spoken like someone who's either a US citizen, or an ally. For the rest of us, there's always the possibility of getting into trouble with a the US or a US-allied country and having the US military simply turning off the GPS satellites we're using.
I think every grunt has a GPS these days - so they would ALL have to have flat batteries.
Well, if they all start with their GPSs fully charge, and they all keep theirs on the whole time, then the batteries would run out at around the same time.
Well, I imagine knowing the direction would, in certain cases, help to identify location if you have a map. Imagine you're on the edge of a lake. You don't know whether it's the north edge, or the south edge, or east or west. However, if you can look up at the stars and determine the bearings, you can have a good estimate of which edge of the lake you are at.
When my NTP server was down for a week, the 100 servers that I managed were already off by plus or minus a few seconds in a week, which makes it hard to reconcile log files.
Not being able to reconcile log files hardly seems like a show-stopper.
I put this down to the number of satellites that a particular GPS receiver needs to see in order to get a location lock. My previous SonyEricsson phone needed only 4 satelites to get a location lock, but my current Android phone needs a minimum of 6. I'm curious to know why.
Suppose you're in a mall, and you want to know how to get from where you are now to the Old Navy store. A forward-thinking mall might provide an app for that.
Nah, I don't think any mall would do that, even though I believe it's possible with current technology. The thing is, malls want their customers to look around and stumble into multiple stores instead of staring at your PDA/smartphone screen and going straight from store A to store B, bypassing all the other stores in between.
You know why windows and mac os x are used? Because there is only ONE version of it for end users.
I have never heard anyone says they use windows because "there is only ONE version of it for end users." NEVER. Okay, this does not apply at most places, but where I come from, people use windows mainly because 1) they are not aware of other alternatives (like linux) AND 2) they can get it for "free" (refer to the article after this one to know what I mean by "free").
Hear, hear. I recently installed Ubuntu on my laptop and was pleasantly surprised at how user-friendly it is. In fact, if ever me or my wife decides to get a new PC/laptop, I'll definitely go for Ubuntu instead of Windows.
I followed the Egyptian uprising from day one, and at the beginning it was not at all about democracy. The Egyptian people would have been happy to replace Mubarak with another authoritarian, albeit benevolent, dictator. The pro-democracy people came in later and essentially hijacked the revolution when it became clear that Mubarak was on the way out.

So why did female human ancestors preferred males without the spines but the female ancestors of animals like chimps preferred males with the spines?

I guess I never really appreciated how lonely it could get during the Russian winter...
You see, in Soviet Russia, the porcupine shags you.

Are the researchers evil or what?
Damn, you people are really weird. I can't for the life of me imagine why anyone would get blamed for giving away stuff for free.
"prey they do not alter it any further"
It's one thing to make a typo, it's another to highlight the typo in quotes.
The right word's pray, BTW.
You people have some weird laws.

, all it does is show me where I am and I can use my brain to figure out where I'm going.
Err, how does a paper map show you where you are?

your inevitable life joke is hilarious. har.
Hey, I know a joke! A squirrel walks up to a tree and says, "I forgot to store acorns for the winter and now I am dead."
But what good is a tool that requires six fingers to use?
Considering that most people have 10 fingers, what's wrong with a tool that requires six?

It's an act. How is this any different from movies depicting adults doing bad things to children?
While the existence of God is the subject of debate, no right-thinking adult on earth actually believes Santa Claus exists.
What good relations?
I'm sorry, but I'm not clear in what aspect you expect this phone to be locked.

Well, it's better than pronouncing it as "user AT example FULL STOP com".
