UAVs are already regulated under existing rules. For example, the term aircraft is defined as follows:
A device that is used or intended to be used for flight in the air.
Damn. No more flying kites legally without a license.
(and before someone complains that the string somehow makes it "not flight," note that the FAA includes the tethered tow time for a glider as part of "flight time."
...can't wait until the hackers fork their code, and create something stable and less buggy from it. It will obviously take lots of work, but if they have the skills to hack in, they're up to the challenge.
"Why would you even consider synthetic benchmarks when choosing a phone?"
Why do people ever engage in pissing contests? So they can say "my phone's faster than your phone, nah nah," to try and get a "yeah, well, my dad can beat up your dad" response.
Standardization is ALWAYS something that needs legislation. Always.
Good thing that Ethernet, Wi-Fi, TCP/IP, HTML, the C language, Java, HDMI, USB, etc. were all legislatively mandated, or we'd be stuck with ARCnet, AX.25, IPX, Gopher, FORTRAN, BASIC, RS-170, 20 mA current loop, etc.
This whole "must be chargeable with micro USB" was already mandatory in the EU
No, there was a strong push for standardized charging ports which resulted in a voluntary agreement among many phone manufacturers. Apple only agreed to provide an adapter which would allow micro-USB chargers to work with their phones.
in March 2009 the commission issued an ultimatum to mobile phone manufacturers: either to become subject to mandatory EU legislation or to voluntarily adopt a common charger. The manufacturers chose the latter.
Huh? There was Firewire/30 pin, then there was USB/30 pin, then there's the shuffle "charge using the headphone jack," then the Lightning charging cable.
Beyond charging, Apple's changed the other interfaces, too. Try to find a recent audio device with iPod control support which works with any iPod prior to 5G ones (and even those are iffy). "Made for iPod" means nothing, because Apple does frequently change their interfaces.
There you go again. Why don't you take the time to read the article?
This wasn't the case under iOS 6. That system wasn't devoid of triggers (full-screen slide transitions being fairly common), but zooming was minimal and parallax was absent, as were gamified animation effects such as subtly shifting and sliding balloons in Messages.
That does indeed look ridiculous, since it doesn't address the issue, as clearly described in the article:
The lack of a solution is the bigger problem. Apple provides a "Reduce Motion" option within the iOS 7 Settings app, but it is poorly labelled; it merely disables the parallax effect, but doesn't stop zooming or sliding.
'The first model in which we changed our perspective is on U.S. Atlantic hurricanes. Basically, after the 2004 and 2005 seasons, we determined that it was unsafe to simply assume that historical averages still applied,'
in a year which has had no Atlantic hurricanes despite widespread forecasts predicting more than normal. Of course, it's only "weather" when short term changes move against AGW, but it's "climate" when they support it. Oh, and now it's "climate change" and "extremes" rather than warming. Simply put, there is nothing which can happen with actual weather/climate which might support an argument against AGW. That's not science - science is based on testable hypothesis, and this game is rigged so the result of any "test" is always the same.

Well, they do have the name right - they're all yahoos. Seriously, is there anything Yahoo! does, which someone else doesn't do much better?
Well, they could rewrite it in Visual BASIC. It couldn't make it any worse.
"Way, way past time to acquire."
Yep. Buying an orchard in the 1950's, in the Valley of Heart's Delight, was the way to go.

That was an act of God. Lucas, the God of Darkness, to be precise.
Fake Steve Jobs for chairman.
...and Apple isn't losing money by subsidizing the price of their products.
Can we just get support for Unicode, instead?
Nokia 6100 series, FTW! Never any lag.

No worries. United States Air Force Brigadier General Jack D. Ripper is in control.
Whoosh! (MIDI never would have replaced player piano rolls had it not been for government intervention)

Oh, I forgot (there's so many!) the pre-"iPod with Dock" models, which just used straight Firewire to charge.

"For the first time in recorded history there existed an open-water path between the Atlantic and the Pacific."
Are you 13 years behind, or 69 years behind the times?
There are also reports of pre-western history passages from the orient.
Sorry, I should have qualified that with "which made landfall," which is what's significant in insurance terms.
