If this guy works for the Navy and it is the Navy submitting the patent application and paying for it, I'd like to think that the Navy has evaluated his research carefully. This isn't a case of an isolated crank. Doesn't the Navy have an internal process for vetting patent applications?
Where does the article say that they were "physically tested"? I see nothing in the article that indicates that these batteries are any different from the batteries originally supplied by apple.
The current issue is about transparency, but there was presumably an earlier, underlying issue that some board members wanted to keep quiet. What was it?
Exactly. A jail term is a far better deterrent than being fired and moving over to another company, which will hire them because it sees them as aggressive marketers.
You can easily tell that this is not a course in basic electronics: there isn't a single chapter on vacuum tubes. All the basic electronics textbooks I used covered vacuum tubes right after capacitors and inductors.
If this hijacking tool comes into use, surely manufacturers of drone controls will start encrypting the signals. Its not like the technology for doing this is difficult or unfamiliar.
Stanford is actually not in Palo Alto. Of course plenty of Stanford people live in Palo Alto, but the University itself is on unincorporated county land, outside the city limits.
There's also no reason that autoinjectors could not be modified to have some of the useful properties of regular syringes. For example, if part of the case of the autoinjector were transparent, users would be able to see how much of the drug remained just as with a syringe and thereby avoid partial doses.
Why is lack of development necessarily a problem? Lots of very useful programs have seen little development recently because they already do well what they are supposed to do. In the case of user interfaces, it is far from clear to me that development represents progress. Personally, as someone who makes heavy use of the command-line and has zero interest in copying MS Windows, I was quite happy with the window managers of a decade ago and currently have to spend time setting up a new machine to configure Gnome Classic the way I like it. Developments like Unity are just an impediment. I recognize that other users, and in particular, other types of users, have different preferences, but I see no reason to impose the type of interface that one class of user likes on everyone else.
The last thing I want is a vehicle running MS Windows. I don't want a buggy vehicle, I don't want Microsoft in charge of it, and I don't want to have to wait for them to fix the bugs. I want something reliable and open: Linux or BSD.
In fact, holding another citizenship in addition to your US citizenship is normally disqualifying.
I do wonder what they do with military personnel from friendly countries engaged in liaison activities, some of whom seem to be embedded in ways that give them access to secret information.
While the full extent of atrocities was not known until after the war, that massive atrocities focussed on Jews were being committed was in fact known to the allies by the end of 1942. For example, the Polish government in exile submitted a report on the extermination of the Jews to the United Nations in December, 1942.
Not true. In Japan statements that are harmful are actionable even if they are true, if they are not in the public interest. If you reveal defects in a product, for example, that's in the public interest. If you say that the CEO wets his bed, even if true, that's just gratuitously embarassing him - it doesn't have anything to do with whether people should buy the company's products, so it is actionable.
Since when does a series of lackluster to poor stints in upper management and no experience in public affairs make someone a serioius candidate for President?
Post the URL in a Slashdot article. There's a good chance a technical person in the company will read it. And since the site will be Slashdotted, you're probably not exposing any data.:)
They say that you still need to open the hive for brood inspection, which they typically do twice a year. They are advertising htis as reducing effort but not as a system in which you never need to open the hive.
Israel has NEVER restricted the supply of staple foods to Gaza and presently imposes no restrictions whatever on the supply of food to Gaza. Nor do humanitarian organizations, such as the UN, not exactly Israel's best friend, say that the blockade has caused any humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
In any case, were there restrictions on the transfer of supplies from Israel, the Gazans could get them via Egypt.

Right. People are so scared of going to jail that nobody ever commits a crime.

This is fraud on a massive scale. Why aren't the managers responsible for it going to jail?

Active service is possible for diabetics if their diabetes is considered sufficiently well controlled.

I guess I don't understand how security works on these devices. Is is it possible to replace the OS without knowing the device's password?

These folks provide advice for human rights activists who want to stay safe and protect their sources from nasty governments: Security in a Box.
But does it run Linux?
Are these things used for fire control? Are artillery spotters and forward air controllers communicating with these things?

It sounds like Smart Projects acted in bad faith towards Arduino LLC, in which case Arduino LLC is very likely entitled to the trademark.
