I didn't say they didn't do anything wrong. They apologized and well, that should be the end of it. What is amazing is that anyone thought it was actual footage in the first place.

Well now, we all know about Captain Hindsight, but in the case where a simulation shows risks, we continually demonstrate poor collective risk assessment. Anyone who has worked in IT knows this is to be expected, but that *doesn't make it right* to ignore the best data we have on risk, when it doesn't fit with our daily convenience.
So really, what is the point of your post other than "recursive hindsight"?
You can usually change ISO on film based cameras. You can get interesting effects by mixing ISO with unmatched film stock, but you can still change it if you want and shoot 100 ISO on 400 speed film.
I used to read at least a book a month, but now, most of my reading is done on the Internet. In fact, I probably read more now than I ever have before. I also find Kupfernigk's comments on BNW to be insightful, at least in the face of common misperceptions of BNW, which is often taught as a dystopia in school. When you consider the implications of his comments, you will realize public schools teaching BNW as a dystopian example (contrasted and compared with 1984 usually), you can see this is completely without irony. It is the school's interest to teach BNW this way (self esteem, information control etc).
Back to your comments, I think the question here is the quality of what we are reading, for which only the reader can be responsible.
Electricity use in the home is way down. I compared to a power bill in 2001 and factored inflation. I have 3 times the number of tv and computers but i also have energy star appliances windows and l e d bulbs on the most heavily used lights. I also charge way more devices than i did in 2001. Factoring in inflation I'm paying same amount as I was then.... I'm using two thirds the power I use in the same month in 2001 and I didn't have a central air conditioner.
This makes sense considering how much power prices have increased since then.
I'm sure if you took stalking your homes and gave acura powerratings to your appliances and gadgets and doodads you would come to the same conclusion. If you're not beating inflation with power saving in 2012 you are doing it wrong.
Let's consider Journalistic Integrity with some possibilities (occam's razor in order of likelihood). 1) Customer asks for IPad, Gets demoed a cheaper Droid. Takes home droid, gets frustrated that he can't find Fruit Ninja, returns it "I just want an IPad Thanks" 2) Customer wants IPad, decides droid is cheaper or cooler looking. Regrets decision because it does not have this Siri thing he's heard so much of. Returns it after realizing what he was really looking for was IOS 3) Customer being completely blind and retarded, actually fails at buying an IPad.
So, do you agree with what really happened at Best Buy (Ie #1 and #2)?
Well I'm sure there are very competent engineers twice my age, but the state of project management for highly complex software systems still leaves a bit to be desired. management still has a little bit of catching up to do when it comes to making secure applications. They likely realize that these features are needed but often get left on cutting floor due to cost and deadlines. I find the security risk assessment executive management levels in the industry in general to be lacking direction and focus on this leads to mistakes such is this.
Part of me wonders if it is because management simply lacks a strong engineering or software perspective in the general consciousness. It's easy to forget that the decade ago not everyone was using a computer and that 20 years ago the internet to be measured in a petabyte. People still kept their documents and procedures and binders. I wonder if we will have better software when generations that have grown up around computers pervade the highest level of management in companies that sell and develop software.
>Seeing as the cost of civil government and the military far exceeds what the Crown Estate makes, it's nuts to say that we make money out of the Royals. That's counting the income and not counting the outgoings.
Yes, but you might say this deal gave parliament it's sac. Seems like a pretty good deal for the UK government if you ask me.
True story, I was picked up and driven to high school once in just such a vehicle (an older GrandAm stolen via club in this precise manner). The guy who picked me up said: "Oh that? That was easy, the hard part was doing it fast enough to not be noticed by foot traffic".

No it would look terrible compared to the last commercial you saw. Very unconvincing from a marketing perspective and would never be approved.
Commercials are dreams, not reality.

Why on earth did anyone expect any of this commercial was shot with an actual Lumina?
Does anyone realize how impractical this is, or even how bad it would look on your HDTV?
Nokia's only mistake here is not putting "Not actual footage. This is a simulation of actual results" disclaimer on the split screen parts.
To be fair one needs not to have anything nefarious in order to have another by the balls.
Anyone married?
IIRC It's DEP. My wintel crashed for ages without it disabled. Had to be uber vigilant but I don't think it's an issue now.
There's a difference between bug fix and feature fix. I didn't realize vendors were charging me for bugfixes probably because they aren't.
>Of course you can rationalize that we'll better care of you than anybody else, but that just smacks of a clingy lover whose jealousy and possessiveness is bound to kill the relationship.
Yes, we've all seen Pirates of Silicon Valley.
Honestly. What do you expect out of an Ultrabook class?

This wisdom is not literal, I have trouble believing that Assange also interprets this literally, as unwitting as he may be.
Who the Brits, or the Ecuadorians?
Why is Assange basically moving next door to his enemies?

But Mommy I have TO GO NOW!!!!
Dear, please hold on the car won't stop. HOW DO YOU REBOOT THIS THING?
Uh-oh Mommy I peed on the seat...
Damn Bluescreen! On-Star,help my car won't stop and nav has gone bluescreen. what does STOP 0X00C553E mean?
I pooed too....

Lettuce. Definitely Lettuce.
So what you are saying is, it's an ethical stance based on logical fallacy?
