If the problem is sensationalism in the media, then why did they write this article? I can 3D print a mechanical replacement for my hand, I can build an autonomous drone for under a grand, and when I walk into my apartment my lights come on automatically and some nice music starts.
If we haven't invented anything in a while I would have been doing all that stuff ten years ago.
What is wrong isn't putting touch on a desktop, it's putting touch on a desktop and then configuring it as if it were meant to be controlled by keyboard and mouse. If you want a touch PC, you need to put the screen flat on the desk, tilted up towards you. THAT is the future of touch computing. Making you gigantic monitor touch enabled is technology for technology sake, without enough thought put into how it should be used.
Future touch computers should look like a block of cheese on its side.
If it were me I'd roll the entire site as well as the forum into Drupal. There are great forum modules available and the flexibility is there to do whatever you want.
I hope Apple does deny it and I hope we get a anti-competitive lawsuit like the one for IE and Windows. It's 2012, and iOS should let you install apps from any source, not just the Apple controlled app store.
Google is a tool that 50 years ago nations would have gone to war to have access to. And it's freely available to every human on the planet. Google/the internet in general is the thing mankind has created with the most potential to bring peace to the world. We can address the side-effects as we go.
Wow this is what we've been asking for all along - someone to educate everyone on securing their wifi. I think this is a good thing for police to spend their time doing. Serve and protect.
So why do you think the mormons were so persecuted? Does your version of reality really include the possibility that the people around wherever the Mormons were just hated the truth so much they wanted to murder Mormons? The idea is ridiculous. The people around the mormons were REACTING to the mormons building an army and the rhetoric from Joseph Smith about establishing God's Kingdom throughout the whole earth. Yea the people did awful things, but the mormons were doing awful things to them as well, and not just in reaction to what was being done to them. Had the mormons lived peacefully with their neighbors there would not have been problems. Modern day Mormons don't seem to be having any trouble, because Mormonism has become a peaceful religion.
To be fair, all that stuff happened to the Mormons because of how they were acting towards their neighbors.
Joseph Smith was tarred and feathered not by an angry "anti-mormon" mob but by his own people for trying to get John Johnson's 15 year old daughter to be one of his plural wives (some time before the polygamy doctrine was revealed). This, by the way, he did several times successfully - marrying several teenagers women who were already married to other men (as you can confirm on familysearch.org). It wasn't hard to get a bunch of people to help tar and feather Joseph because they had all given their money to Joseph's Bank of Kirtland which promptly failed and suddenly there money was gone (it had gone to pay Joseph's debts).
Further, Governor Boggs was against the mormons because Joseph Smith had prophisied the untimely demise of Boggs just before one of his destroying angels showed up (Porter Rockwell) and shot him four times in the head (he lived). The Mormons were also playing dangerous political games and Joseph Smith (and Hyrum) were both shopping around the "mormon vote" simultaneously making friends and enemies all over the state. To top it off, Joseph Smith taught that they were to come into god's inheritance by the sword and began terrorizing and stealing from their neighboring towns.
The Haun's Mill Masacre was a really unfortunate incident, but not nearly as bad as the Mountain Meadows Massacre.
It's not at all surpising you don't hear the REAL history in Sunday School, but it does allow Mormons to walk around and play the "victim card" every time their history is brought up. Unfortunately, people who actually have a clue about what happened just laugh in their faces.
P.S. Feel free to disregard the above true history of events as "anti-mormon" propaganda. I'm sure the church's version is completely unbiased.
This is exactly why the responsibility for what you can install on a device you own should rest with you and not a company. Do you want a PR department, compliance department, marketing, lawyers, licensing issues, etc. to dictate what you can install on your device?
If Apple would relax and allow you to install apps outside of the app store they would lose almost no mojo for the actual app store, and they would silence all the haters like me.
Everyone keeps reporting that the court has reached a ruling. This is not the case. The jury has reached a verdict, but the final judgement has not yet happened.

Definitely nothing much going on over there.

We use the last thing to invent the next thing.
Do they have one for something less than a layman? Perhaps one written for a complete ignoramus like myself.

Despite being ridiculous, it will get exactly the same amount of consideration as every other idea submitted through that site.
How much of this is legitimate worry and how much of it is the military industrial complex kicking up fear in order to get more money?
So the answer to "people are more aware of what is healthy" is to close up shop rather than making something healthy?

If this worked other civilizations would have used it and every once in a while we'd see a painted asteroid go flying by. Right? RIGHT GUYS!?
I just got some of those new Hue lights from Philips and have to say they're pretty awesome. It would be rad to fill up an entire house with them.

Why is speech the problem? Why aren't the people overreacting the problem?
No, what we need is a international collaboration to address public disorder which clearly disregards "freedom of expression."
Confirmation Bias.
This is Slashdot. None of us went to high schools where the teachers could teach us anything about computers.

All you would need to do is drop some red matter into the exploding star. Just get there in time and you can save the day!

Do you guys remember when Nokia used to be cool?

This is the internet. We already complain about everything.
