Going forward? Let's try that sentence again with that pointless piece of `office bulls**t` removed:
> If you search for something one of your Facebook friends has "liked," > Bing will note that in its search results.
Hmm. It has exactly the same meaning. I wonder if it's possible to construct a sentence such that adding the prefix `going forward` actually modifies the meaning in some way.
> As far as I know gag orders don't apply to 1:1 communication between people not named in them so you call > your American friend on the phone or send him and email and he publishes it all, job done.
It would be inadvisable for a journalist to email someone if they want to avoid going to prison for contempt of court. I don't agree with these injunctions either, but you can't say that just because it's possible to put something on the internet that you can't attach a punishment to it. Bradley Manning is in the same boat; everyone can buy a paper and read stuff he's allegedly provided to Wikileaks, but the US government is hardly going to give up the concept of privileged information because of it.
> the judge is wasting his time and everyone else's.
No he's not. He says don't post it; you post it, you get to go to jail. The information is still out there. But you're still in jail. You can stay out of jail by not posting it. Your choice.
It's like saying laws against murder are stupid because everyone's got a knife or something.
It's got about 1 million paid users, a tiny fraction of the estimated 200,000,00 itunes users, for example. Spotify could vanish tomorrow and it would make next to no difference to anyone.

Google and Microsoft both operate within the IT industry, but in completely different areas. They sort of intersect in that they both provide operating systems, but for Google that's a recent thing, not what they're about. Microsoft will slowly go away as other devices (web sites/apps, phones, tablets, other embedded/integrated devices) reduce the need to worry about which OS it happens to be running. They already know all they need to know about you as you pay for the software, and you have to update it etc, so they know what spec pc you have, where you live, what you do with it etc. The likes of Google have to try and infer this from your browsing/app downloading habits. Yes, they might have access to your email, but they'd be screwed into the ground if it ever came out that they were doing any more than using the content to display relevant ads on the side of your email.
I'm sort of the other way around. I don't like Sony, but I take each product on its merits and wouldn't cut off my nose to spite my face just because they did this or that in the past.
I think it's a startup searching for a VC to give it some money. "Loads of cores.. that's good, right? These guys are doing good stuff on smartphones, and I keep reading about them on blogs, so I think it must be worth sinking a few millions dollars on".
Yeah, but take a step back - would governments make the sorts of mistakes which leads to invading Afghanistan, backing dodgy dictators in the first place? You're saying the cost - that one person might evade assassination a bit longer - is too high?
It was probably some offshore noob who doesn't understand test environments, change control etc and who decided to stick the latest version of some code onto the live environment. It happens. Hey, they're cheap!
If you're going to go to any effort at all (I can't be arsed - stick some in a drawer, trash the rest), you might as well scan them into a jpeg and have the whole thing on line, with a filename something like:
yyyymmdd_company
You could probably OCR them so you could search text for extra tedium.
Problem with anything like this is the dual showstopper of limited battery life and "unlimited" network data. Add to that that some networks (in the UK at least) don't allow VOIP (and charge for it outside of your contract)

It's really about reducing your side's deaths. The US military knows that it can get away with killing whoever, whereever, but as soon as the bodybags start coming home people start asking why.
A lot of companies have old, shitty hardware. Doesn't mean they're going broke, just means the people in charge don't have a clue. Turns out a lot of UK companies don't have a clue.
No matter what the law (courts) say, the police *are* going to kick your door in if your connection is being used to up/download kiddy porn, warez, terrorist stuff or whatever else leaves tor exit nodes these days. Your wife/husband etc are probably not going to appreciate civil mindedness at 5am when her children have fat, unsympathetic pigs pointing their guns at them.
It's a little harder to dismiss an entire company such as Sony, which has a track record of quality hardware, films, an impressive catalogue of classical music, good games consoles etc. Anonymous appear to be a bunch of fat virgins who run other people's scripts to annoy companies they only dimly understand. You're the one generalizing if you are comparing criticism of one group to another.

Not true. At least, not everywhere.

They probably control more than 51% of the music provided by it, however, so in that sense they DO control it.

Or indeed not being a developer at all.

Intel advertises on the TV all the time in the UK - an odd way to reach `large companies like Apple and Dell` if that were their aim.
I'm sort of the other way around. I don't like Sony, but I take each product on its merits and wouldn't cut off my nose to spite my face just because they did this or that in the past.
Unlikely, unless these phones too contain millions of dollars worth of research into making them hard to hack.

It might mean that the Android version runs at more than 20 frames per second.... you know, like games used to on 7mhz, 512k Amigas 25 years ago.
Yeah, but take a step back - would governments make the sorts of mistakes which leads to invading Afghanistan, backing dodgy dictators in the first place? You're saying the cost - that one person might evade assassination a bit longer - is too high?
Kind of hints at it here:

There's also the `that's hardly caused any problems for iPhone/Android' thing though.
