That's a problem for every one who's trying to sell any one. It would be a bottomless wealth of knowledge if you could ask your competitor's customers to ask why they didn't choose your own product. +10 marketing to the company that sets up a paid survey kiosk outside their competitors store.
Good! I'm glad some one has the balls to hypothetically speak up with their hypothetical outrage about their hypothetical purchase! Way to hypothetically let them know what you really think of them!
I know, I just changed all my passwords because twitter said my account had been compromised, now I have to do it all again! A growing percentage of our waking lives will be consumed creating and changing passwords until that's all that any one does!
There is a very good DefCon talk on youtube about barcodes and how easy they are to scam. It's so trivial to encrypt the data in a barcode but of course TSA has spared every expense in the defence of america.
When I was in high school (early 2000's) I used to wonder how they were going to teach lawmakers and enforcers so they could cope with all the new crap that was being made. Were they going to send them all to schools to teach them how networked computers worked or maybe hire a bunch of IT advisors? I was being way too optimistic, its been a decade of incompetent, ignorant, old people making and enforcing laws without an understanding of what they are making laws about. Why is there now law requiring knowledge and education in the field for which you make and enforce laws?
How much it costs to build makes a big difference. If it's 50$ to built and has a 1000$ price tag I would be less inclined to buy it. If the parts/labour value of its guts were closer to a grand I would be a lot more interested. With all the talk of apples margins I don't know why any one would trust their products farther then they can drop them without exploding the lithium battery;)
As this is going to be a never ending stream of anecdotes, here's mine! I bought a Lenovo W500 in 2008, it was $1400 and has been fantastic. It had only 1 bit of pre-installed nonsense that was easy to remove, has survived a full beer going through the keyboard and 4 years of abuse. Its been jammed into bags, dropped on tile floors and crushed in car trunks, every time I though "oh fuck, its dead now" and every time it was fine. Even putting it back to factory, I did that last year, was painless. Just pressed the blue button and tell it to go back to factory spec, it took less then 20min from pressing the blue button to setting a new background. If I ever decide that I want another laptop its going to be a Lenovo Thinkpad but this one still has years of life left in it.
His film, offensive or not, did not say "go forth, riot and kill" it was just a bad movie. The movie's creator should not be held responsible in any way for the actions of people who viewed it. If these same people has watched Team America I'll bet they would have had a similar (if not as extreme) reaction to the portrayal of muslims.
Cameras aren't general purpose devices, why would they need a general purpose OS? Buttons and knobs make for easy and fast adjustments without having to look at the camera. As soon as you have to take your eyes off the subject/out of the view finder you have negated any of the advantages that android could bring to a DSLR/Mirrorless camera. Keep the gimicky stuff in the phones and point and shoots.
Thin edge of the wedge, what's stopping them from banning all small rare earth magnets that are not integrated into a larger non-ingestable product? I'm sure there are child and parent combinations out there dumb enough to get the kid killed by magnet cubes just as easily as spheres. You just wait until they ban all magnets that come in geometric shapes.
This makes me ashamed to be Canadian. It makes us look like a bunch of morons who are afraid of the wireless ghosts of non-ionizing radiation. I have LED lights that put out more power then a wifi router AND at a higher frequency? Is my LED light going to give me cancer?
Tablet nothing, they invented the rectangular computing device. No computing device from here on may be rectangular in shape for that shape is owned by Apple.
As much as the idea of internet use requiring a minimum level of aptitude sounds like a good idea it hasn't really worked for cars or guns. I can't imagine it would work any better for the internet.

I think its more the "why" rather then the "how" that TSA would be interested in.

Well that's not fair at all, you can't bash MS and Apple practices and then leave out Sony. I find this bias in /. to be shocking.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers that.
The article title should have read "Are Windows XP/7 Users able to learn a new interface as well as a highly coached 3 year old"

Don't be silly, religion never teaches hate towards any one.

Bingo. I have a camera modified to allow infra-red and that is almost exactly what it looks like before any other filters are used.

If the women don't find you handsome, they can at least find your scientific research to be be ground breaking!

Have you looked at their product line? Their motto isn't "Think Different" its "We think different so you don't have to."
But without all my pre-programmed filters and macros how will any one know that I'm an individual?
Coming in IMAX 3D this summer, Micheal Bay's TAINT! Teenage Alien Invader Ninja Turtles!

Move in for 10 years, mess up the place and then give up?
