They're using CA's law that says Jobs' estate owns his image for 75 years after death, the problem is, how do they enforce CA law if the dolls never leave China?
MSNBC has always been a split venture between Microsoft's MSN and NBC News. At first they went in 50/50 with both sides of the business, but they eventually swapped some shares giving MSN control of the web site, and NBC control of the TV channel. Since that split, MSNBC TV has gone to a liberal politics channel, and MSNBC.com has focused on hard news.
They once had a day where they tried to see what would happen if they did split up for good, and MSN News quickly opened and MSN News writers booked appearances on CNN and Fox News, while NBC News was caught with no web presence at all. It was proof that TV needs the support of websites more than websites need a TV channel.
SOPA is about the takedown of servers that house illegal content.. and the overreach is that they'll take out a whole service to punish for one piece of offending content. This is about the AP stepping up and selling a bundle of content suppliers for one price, essentially making a legal store so there's a right way to do it.
RSS is covered by the ToS of a website, and that usually says that the content is for personal use only, like the RSS Ticker plugin for Mozilla... if you try to run a website based on it you'll need to pay for the rights or they'll cut you off or worse yet feed you fictional news. NewsRight is a new service for grouping those rights and having one payment for many sites worth of cont4ent
Google has always maintained that their search results are totally unbiased and not influenced by ad sponsors, the companies other businesses, and anybody trying to spam the system. This seems like an internal dispute between the search team and the Chrome team...
This is the problem with Electronic Health Records (EHR). Everybody has their own system for keeping records, and Google Health was just an extra patient-controlled database that needed custom bridging just like everything else. HL7 (Health Layer 7) is supposed to be the solution, but with it's constantly changing spec (2.x was pipe-delimited, 3.x will be XML if they ever finish it...) nobody likes to use it.
Yeah, but where would the fake webpage buy its traffic from? Apple controls in-app ads, and Google censors its search ads all the time. A fake antivirus website that nobody visits is not a problem at all.
The reason iOS devices don't need anti-malware solutions is because all of the programs that run on that platform are from a secure and curated Apple App Store. Google's "anybody can open an app store" policy means Google can't killbit programs it doesn't like, while Apple can killbit anything it wants even after the fact. Bait-and-switch programs only exist on platforms where there's no control in what can be published.
Google gave plenty of notice of the EOL of this service, and it's chief problem was that there was no sponsorship and nobody willing to pay for the service. Google was an unneeded middleman if health records, better records are collected by doctors, pharmacies, hospitals, and other health professionals.
Automotive automatic driving machines exist, the problem is the danger caused by accidents with non-automated drivers that then sue and create wrongful death verdicts. If there's ever tort reform, automated driving will come quickly thereafter.
DST changes in the USA caused times to be odd on certain devices such as VCRs to incorrectly make the change... what's Samoa's tech devices thinking for time zone updates or will everybody have to do a lot of twisting to their watch. For anybody with any interest in what goes on there this is a big tech story.
That's what I get for RFTAing... the e-mail clearly identifies it as a print subscription being canceled, but your report of it going out to app users shows a wider breach than I first thought.
We take NY Times articles about tech seriously around here. The dead tree edition may be falling apart and their info-wall turned pay-wall strategy might not be liked, but Slashdot would be worse off if the NY Times was to fail completely.
There are plenty of corrupt call centers in the world. They'll answer the phone and collect data based on the check clearing and not whether they've been hired by the legit management of the brand they answer the phone as. Some call centers are stupid enough to think they're doing the right thing when really they're supplying credit card numbers to the wrong people.
Can't be so sure of that... did people give up their account info to the man-in-the-middle thinking it would continue a subscription somebody else in the household seemed to have canceled?
This appears to be a phishing attack aimed at getting NY Times readers to re-up their subscription with a phony contact given. Looks like their e-mail list got leaked.
Astroturfers are easy to spot... they have a high follow count but a low follower count. Nike needs to get better advertising staff... just jamming twitter/facebook updates with their ad may lose more customers than it gains.
A VPN is usually only protected by a password or maybe a stored secret which is just a more complex password. There needs to be better authentication such as calling headquarters, being recognized by voice, location, and password and then having them agree your move makes sense before it's put into play.
The main problem these things have is that there's nothing more than password authentication protecting them from any random user getting in, and sometimes leak or get guessed.
For this kind of access there should be a technician dispatched to the site... no remote login should be allowed. Water control is a lot like Enron's electricity control in that a wipeout of any size can cause a complete mess of a local economy.
NBC reported last week that this Congress is on a pace for a record low number of bills passed, and cited the failed Super-Committee effort to reach a budget deal as one of the time wasters as they were doing that required-to-keep-the-Government-running step rather than marking off new territory. So, it looks like we're going to have SOPA floating around for the rest of this term until January 2013...

Your RSS reader has the ability to re-word and summarize articles? Cool, can I have one of those?

Actually, Bing gets is news from the MSN half of MSNBC... MSNBC TV doesn't offer much beyond a liberal answer to FNC's political talk.

This makes me wonder. Are people going to be paid/charged interest for a non-existing 12-30-11 there?

This post was written before the thread below it proved my theories wrong.

Hello Nike PR Shill, you must be new here.
Astroturfers are easy to spot... they have a high follow count but a low follower count. Nike needs to get better advertising staff... just jamming twitter/facebook updates with their ad may lose more customers than it gains.
