Yes, after I noticed the phone looking strange I did use Google Image search to find it but I used keywords to get there. Google's "similar images" search function is a neat idea, but I think it's based on the output of classifiers - plenty of images of smiling people came back, but nothing that looked even remotely similar.
I wish the media would stop (badly) Photoshopping images. The headline image of the girl holding an IDEOS originally had her holding a snowpea pod: http://img.wylio.com/flickr/130022/380/5367321226
OTOH this must cause quite a bit of wailing and gnashing of teeth over at Samsung and other Android vendors, seeing as they are now not only competing against Google directly on a platform Google controls, but Google now also has even less incentive to help out their partners/competitors with patent issues.
Me thinks it's exactly the opposite.
Google wants Android to dominate the market because it has so many hooks back into Google services (Mail, Music, Search, etc.). Google has next to no patents outside of advertising, market research, software and usability. Motorola has an extensive patent portfolio around electronics, communications and in particular mobile phone technologies... I can only see this as Google expanding their patent portfolio so that they can knock the Apple-Microsoft-Oracle consortium on the head.
This acquisition can only help to protect Google and their Android partners.
Just become somebody clicks through to the site doesn't mean the search result was a success.
Just because somebody doesn't click through doesn't mean the search result was a failure, either. Google often turns up many more results, and relevant results at that, than Bing. Try this experiment...
Bing gives you a grand total of two search results and neither of them are correct. The first is an Coscinasterias calamaria (eleven-armed starfish) and the second is an Coriaster granulatus (Pink cushion).
Repeat the same search on Google Image search and the first eight results are correct or relevant. The next score or so of results appear on pages that at least mention Asterodon miliaris.
In the Google world you're probably spoilt for choice and your answer may directly appear in the search results - no click throughs.
Sure, it has the word "drone" in its name, but a Parrot AR.Drone is not a drone. The "Daily Drone" is a Parrot AR.Drone, a remote-controlled quadricopter that has no drone capability. It has to be flown by a real person from an iThingy.
Even if the alleged infringer countersues for slander of title?
A lot of businesses can't afford to do that, especially when their sole source of revenue is through the PayPal account that has just been suspended.
Case in point: PayPal suspended the account of a business woman in West End (Brisbane, Queensland, Australia) earlier this year when PayPal accused her of laundering money. Her crime: after the floods that ravaged the low-lying areas of Brisbane she was accepting donations to help out a couple of locals who'd lost all of their possessions. All of her efforts were being documented on her blog, she'd receipted payments, etc., but that wasn't sufficient for PayPal. Bastards.
The effects of NAND flash adoption are already being felt in the DRAM market, as revenue in 2011 is expected to decline 11.8%.
The former is not the cause of the latter. The rise of mobile devices with less DRAM in them is more likely to blame: less people are buying new PCs and Laptops when their phones and/or tablets can do everything they need.
Most requests have the client IP and a date-time, so they're looking for the logged-in user.
In the rare case where the requesting party is seeking traffic patterns for a particular user you should tell them about Host-Header implementations on multi-tenanted servers - the only way they can confirm the user is accessing a particular web site is if they also have access to the log files on the origin server and those log files include the client IP addresses. As to whether they actually understand that... who knows?
Never said the packets themselves were recorded. Src IP and dst IP, packet size and time stamp - that's all that's needed. Note that this happens for ingress and egress traffic - the src and dst IPs are switched in one direction.
No ISP I've ever worked at logged DNS requests and responses. Not for law-enforcement purposes, anyway. All your usage bills are based on traffic crossing the border routers - you can rest assured the src and dst IPs on every single one of those packets is recorded and linked to your account.
MORIS has been around since 2009. What happened recently is that they made the iPhone dock slightly smaller and rotated the camera 90 degrees so officers could hold the phone in portrait mode instead of landscape mode when snapping pictures.
I can beat that... on the way home through peak-hour traffic recently, not only was I passed by a bicyclist who was riding between two lanes of traffic, he felt it was necessary to show off to everybody by "popping a mono" for as long as possible as well.
It sure seems nothing much usually comes of these injection requests so I hardly expect it to go anywhere. Perhaps Apple is looking for some kind of reciprocation behind the scenes for something else...
HTC just bought S3 graphics (and its patent portfolio) from VIA. My guess is Apple is trying to get HTC banned from the US before HTC starts asserting their newly acquired patents against Apple.
Yay for consistency in the media. NPR reports that bit of the story as:
"It was put in the trash can and I just took it out and said, `I'm going to keep that,'" he said.
Moser said he had Neil Armstrong sign a photo of the flag planted on the moon when the astronaut returned to Earth and he kept the picture and his rescued scrap of flag together in his NASA office until he retired in 1990.
Probably it doesn't even incorporate all weapons botnet makers have at their disposal, and their arsenal is growing. Like the arsenal of the anti-malware makers as well, of course.
True, but anti-malware makers are always going to be behind the eight-ball for two reasons: (1) they will always be reactionary, and (2) they can't break a computer to "save it" whereas the malware makers don't mind a few casualties.
I remember receiving some of those outraged replies from users who didn't (or just refused to) understand that I hadn't actually sent the spam. Spammers were going through a phase of sending from captured addresses as well as sending to them.
In this case it was because Amazon felt access to the community site around the game should have required HTTPS access. I think that's perhaps being a little anal.
In the general case, where games download their own levels and updates, if game levels and upgrades are code signed and validated then it's not an issue at all. If this was a multi-player game for example (I don't believe that it is), malicious players could supply their own hacked levels and upgrades using MITM methods potentially giving them an unfair advantage over other players that doing things properly. Those sorts of holes can really damage the community trust around a popular game.
Personally I don't think it's Amazon's place to be rejecting Android apps just because they are missing an S from a HTTPS URI. They could just inform the developers and recommend that they fix it in the next release of the apps. It's not like Amazon is in the same position as Apple, protecting their own little walled-garden iThingy community - Android apps can be downloaded from anywhere and it's not Amazon's job to be policing the security of the operating system.

Go to Bing Image search and search for the following:

To be fair, after RTFA, WalMart did switch to DRM free in late 2007, but never removed the DRM on previous sales.
FTFY
Didn't the certificate itself contain the issuer information you were looking for?

Sort of. The /. story from six months ago was about Frederico Francisco's arXiv paper. What's new in TFA is confirmation by JPL's Slava Truysev. That barely gets a paragraph, though, after summarising the previous research.

Yes he is. Keep an eye on the top-left corner of the video while the program's running.

*By ironic I mean M$ and Apple appear to be colluding to take down another competitor while leaving each other alone.
It's not just appearances. Apple, Microsoft and Oracle have actually formed up to go after Android: Apple, Microsoft, Oracle Lead Unholy Patent Alliance Against Android

I might point out that this is a Swedish game. Do you think anybody outside of America actually cares about American federal laws?
Your dad is going to be so mad when he comes home to find you've been trolling on his account.

Restore to what? From what I've read DigitalOne's a co-lo customer and the FBI's taken all their physical hardware.
