Once everything is connected a company will be able to use the shoddy IoT security to peek around your house and learn what brands/models of appliances and other products your own. Think how easy market research will be! No more have to convince people to complete a survey by giving them some freebie.
"If you hit the wall in an Indy Car and don't take your hands off the wheel, you'll break your wrists. Our wheel is a one-to-one replication of that, but we don't turn it up that high.
If you don't turn it up that high, it's not really a one-to-one replication then, is it?
I'm not at work right now, but since the poster didn't say what he was linking to and can't edit it now to warn people, I just thought I would put this here.
It doesn't have to be used in a crime. All cell phone switch cell towers while you travel... your cell provider it keeps a timestamp log of this switching whether you use your phone or not. If you are suspected of a crime, all they need to do is guess your (plausible) location and see if your phone agrees.
Yes, I think you're missing the point of my original reply. The AC is saying that it's makes sense to him that the police can get records on cell phone on the idea "somebody builds something for you, and you use it in a crime, the court can order them to disclose what they know". I'm saying there is nothing here to suggest the cell phone was a tool used in the actual crime, so there isn't justification for the police to be able to get the records of the device using the reasoning he claims. It's just a case of "oh, gee, this idiot was carrying a device that happens to make it easy for us to get an idea where he's been, can we haz records nao?"
Though I don't agree with the judgment, I understand where they're coming from. This goes back years to hidden compartments. If somebody builds something for you, and you use it in a crime, the court can order them to disclose what they know. Cellphones kind of fall into the same category.
Was the cellphone actually used in the crime, or was it just in his pocket at the time. Sounds like the police are just using the location records to establish the suspect being at the location of the robbery.
So can set updates to install a few weeks after they get rolled out to everyone else. That way next time there is an update that hoses people systems like last August's I can find out before I get burnt.
the funny thing is.. MS should know if the activations are legit or not. also, if they are unsure, why the fuck are they touting the ip address publicly?

It's likely a dynamic IP, and by now has been shuffled onto another customer anyway. Their legal team is only interested in who was using the IP during the time of the alleged pirating activations.
Isn't it basic writing that your IDENTIFY the subject before you start referring to them with pronouns? "The Valley's top historian" is a descriptive statement (and a personal opinion at that), it doesn't substitute for her name.
Does the author serious thinks banks are going to adopt anything that is "a significant step forward for social good and give people more control over their finances". Most of the money they make is off people who can't control their finances effectively.
Keep in mind their entire business is moving numbers from one pile to another. Anything that keeps them in control of the access to these piles and information about them is a good thing to them.
The original intention of this whole per-embryo freezing was in case she lost her ability to have children on her own after that. She survived the cancer treatment, but what her reproductive functions? Seems to me the easy answer is that if she still has that function, she does not have to have these specific frozen embryos to reproduce. She can conceive a child with someone else. They should just be destroyed and nobody will get them then.
"Robins, who filed a class-action lawsuit, claimed that Spokeo had provided flawed information about him, including that he had more education than he actually did, that he is married although he remains single, and that he was financially better off than he actually was. He said he was unemployed and looking for work, and contended that the inaccurate information would make it more difficult for him to get a job and to get credit and insurance."
Um, what? All these inaccuracies would help him get a job, unless he's trying for a very low position.
Came here to say the same thing. It's slow/unusable on the original Nexus 7, but on the 2013 version, it's fine.
Somewhat confused here. The summary says the Nexus 7 was first released in 2013, but you're implying the 2013 he a new edition and there was an earlier Nexus 7 tablet?
If Verizon is in fact breaking a contract it has with ESPN then all I can say is that it is a horrible contract.
It's nothing new. The NFL Network did (and probably still does) something similar. They had a contractual requirement that they be part of the "basic cable" package and not a special sports tier, and at the same time wanted to get paid per viewer, which means that they get paid for every subscriber that a carrier has, regardless of whether they want the channel or not.
ESPN and Verizon both realize the same thing, lots of people don't care about sports and lots of people are aware that ESPN is one of the most expensive channels to carry. Consumers want out of paying for crap they don't care about, Verizon wants to hold onto video subscribers, and ESPN wants to keep their gravy train rolling.

No, not dupees. Rupees.
Please cite the criminal code.
It would just be lumped in under that nebulous "unauthorized access to computer systems" of 18 USC 1030.

Native Kansan here, too.
The state's only flat if you discount the Eastern third.
How many cups do you drink total, though?
1) Get double-capacity mug.
2) Half fill with hot water.
3) Make one K-cup of coffee
4) Pour in larger mug.
5) Ta-da. 50% strength coffee,

Ya, the ISPs are the problem, not the NSA.
Nobody said that was the issue.
Skimming the article, I didn't see the NSA mentioned once.
Thanks for playing, though!

probably they're not doing even oem installs.

the chancellor has now outlined plans for a mandatory open banking API standard during the recent budget in March.
I presume you know what "mandatory" means?
The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry

This is what I was going to say. "Is there some sign that says 'good guys only' that stops bad guys from using it too?"
Maybe the real irony is the two are one and the same.

They wouldn't have to worry about the iPads failing a second time after they left the gate again if they went with the books at that point.

Called by another poster on the self-powered camera story recently.

Nevermind. I see someone else explained it in a lower post.
