is that it always fights the wrong enemy, and along that battle new enemies pop up at its backyard.
Microsoft thought it had the world domination in 2000 already, and maybe it had. Then it stopped whatever innovation it had and just started to kill anyone who it thought could threaten the status quo. And it thought that would be open source / Linux.
Many years later, Apple crawled out of its coffin and surpassed Microsoft in market cap. Linux on the other hand never threatened Microsoft on desktop. In fact, with Android, Microsoft even needed Linux to fight Apple (enemy's enemy is always friend).
CUPERTINO, Calif. - August 8th - Today a spokesman from Apple, Inc. confirmed that the Pentagon has hired Steve Jobs to handle the WikiLeak problem. Pentagon has been under fire when WikiLeak released about 90,000 classified military files last month. Impressed by Steve Jobs' ability in handling the iPhone 4 crisis, the Pentagon tasked him with regaining people's trust of its ability of keeping secrets safe.
According to people close to Mr. Jobs, the Silicon Valley's No.1 chief executive plans to hold an emergency press conference on Monday with the following data points: 1. There is no Wiki-leak-gate. Compared to the 900,000,000 classified files maintained by Pentagon, 90,000 is only a very minor part. The leak is obviously blown out of proportion by the media. 2. The Pentagon is not perfect. The government is not perfect. We all have weak spots. We know that, and you know that. [ show slides of leak cases from various governments around the world in all times. ] 3. According to popular polls, this administration is doing a great job in maintaining document security. Out of 100 document, we only leak fewer than one more document compared to the Bush administration. 4. The government cares about its citizens. We will give out free eye-pads and ear-plugs to people who don't want to watch or hear this WikiLeak nonsense.
Mr. Jobs believes that these talk points will appease all of people's worried about the current administration.
1. They can confirm THEIR rogue agents. So unless you have some names/numbers you know are TRUE, you can't verify their claims. 2. Even if you do have something you can verify, they can relay your query to the real phone number. They'll just write down your information, put you on hold for a minute, and call the real number to verify that.
I kind of believe that the overwhelming media reports affected some, if not most, of those drivers.
People might mis-press the pedals all the time. Normally, you realize that you mis-pressed and switch to the correct pedal.
With all the media hysteria and terror stories (911 recording anyone?), they panicked and immediately assumed it was the car, not themselves, so they stopped thinking/trying and gave up.
Why were there so many reports in the very short period of time when the media was focusing on this issue? Why are we not hearing this anymore?
It works really great. Basically, during your call if the quality goes any bad or there is a drop, the phone plays the sound of VUZULELA automatically until the signal is picked up again. This way it never really drops the call, at least not obviously.
It violates your right to follow any blog opened by a Chinese soldier! We all know Chinese soldiers form the best army of bloggers, now they are all gone!
The article suggests in no way the facebook gave FBI special access to privileged data (and why would they?), and FBI use Internet scanning software, so it's almost certainly public.

Just like the US government.

Yes, HTML5.
Try to watch Youtube on a laptop with a really slow wireless connection. Then switch to an iPad.
that I bought the wifi version of iPad
Rename Firefox to "Firefox NG".
As soon as they do that, they won't need to worry about crap like 'Chrome is version 7 already' any more.
You come off and leave and let someone else raise the child..
Seriously, someone who cannot test his own code cannot write good code.
We just need a smarter interlock.

Rationale: let's ban our people from looking at the leak, so there is no leak!
Little do they know their asses are still out there.
You said it as if there were shortage of discontinued open source products.

Freedom means also the freedom of being stupid!
You forgot money = price * volume.
I am pretty sure I heard such a speech 10 years ago, before Java came out.
It should only affect the Russian version of Windows.

So when is the movie coming out?

"You already know how to hold it."
However the problem here is that there is a very strong suggestion that the FBI had access to Facebook accounts that they were not "invited to"
I see no such suggestion. Care to elaborate?
The article suggests in no way the facebook gave FBI special access to privileged data (and why would they?), and FBI use Internet scanning software, so it's almost certainly public.
The story nonetheless raises significant privacy concerns
Like "OMG my public postings can be read by others"?
They do exist!
I heard it no longer enables autorun on USB drives by default!
