Also, McAfee will probably hide behind the EULA for the class action, since the EULA probably also said they don't have to pay if they screw up your system anyhow.
Class action lawyers ignore EULAs because they are unenforcable. The EULA is a wish list that has very little actual meaning.
The epic fail was the initial bug. This response however is exactly what McAfee should be doing.
Maybe so. But being familure with the lawyer thing, I smell a big fat Class Action (where of course the lawyers get paid big fat checks, and the consumers get a coupon).
A lot of people really do not keep up with the latest decisions Facebook is making with regard to personal privacy, or are even aware that Facebook can, at any time, reveal their data.
You make the assumption that these people are uninformed, but I think in actuality most simply DON'T CARE. Most people do not live at the same high level of paranoia that Slashdotters do. Many people really could not care less who knows where and with whom they par-teyed with last weekend or that they are killer at Mafia Wars or that they live in Portland Oregon and read bodice rippers and think Kim Kardashian is HOT. Most people don't care if the CIA or NSA or whatever government spooks know this tripe. And most are aware that after they graduate from college, they can delete or lock down their Facebook so that "potential employers" can't see.
Those that are "alarmed" by Facebook don't use it. Those that do don't care. It's a mistake to assume that Facebook users don't know the "risks".
Really? "Clearly"? It's not clear to me. I am supposed to TRUST these people I don't know who have a hidden whois? Seems to me like an excellent way to acquire CC numbers from ignorant rubes.
Quit focusing on "Fox News". The fact is, original data was destroyed, and the metadata has been manipulated. Questions about these things have yet to be adequately answered. This has nothing to do with Fox News.
And it's a shame that Climate Scientists have not been more open, it generates distrust about a very real problem (Global Warming) and allows Global Warmings' detractors to gain footing.
As an alturnative... Even in this day and age, Cunard maintain a scheduled Trans-Atlantic passenger ship service linking the United States with Europe, with roughly monthly sailings from Southampton to New York between April & October. It doesn't cost much more than a business-class airfare, and this includes six night's accommodation and all meals. You'll travel aboard the greatest liner of them all, Cunard's Queen Mary 2, and it really is the only way to arrive in New York...
This whole "article" - such that it is - should be marked Overrated and Troll. The fact is, there are *MANY* "tablet" computers out there, and have been even before the iSuck. This "story" - such that it is - is what is called a "Slashvertisment".
You *did* see more than one linky up there, right? Like the one that references a *very recent* article? Yes? Moron... Lay off the video games and sugar, and your attention span might get longer.
So, the *majority* have registered, and a large number of the remaining know about it but don't trust the system? Sounds more or less succesful to me...
Go fuck yourself, I don't have to show you anything. If you can't build CSS based web sites for multi browsers without jumping through hoops, it's because you're a shitty CSS coder. Go back to your games, little boy.
What about those of us who don't want to see flying-rotating-3d-semitransparent-glowing-shaded adverts flying across our web pages.
I want fast clean loads of information. Not bloated pages full of shiny dodads designed to divert my attention from the information I am looking for.
The Interwebs are about freedom, and you are free not to view any site you feel is offensive in some way. Interweb freedom is about the freedom to choose. IE9 chooses certain voluntary standards, and not other voluntary standards, and even creates some of its own voluntary standards. All of which you are free not to use because of the freedom to choose a different browser. It's about freedom. Freedom to choose, not freedom to be restricted to RMS' view of how the Interweb should be.
So why then should the court of public opinion concluded that it's Toyota's fault?
Your response has nothing to do with the parent observation.
What I would like to know is what the overall average age of owners of affected Toyotas is? My impression is that it's in general an older customer base.
The eyes seem better than his last effort, but the mouth area is really where it falls short. There isn't enough subtlety in mimicking muscle movements around the lip area, and the mouth opening and closing is a real giveaway
It's supposed to be the perfect woman: It doesn't speak.

Looks to me like she was walking her dog, and the Google Car drove by, passed her, and kept on going.

People do use FB for more than asking someone to fertilize their crops...
Disgusting.

The site is clearly not malicious.

Because there's SO much to do in South Korea at night.
I don't think you've been to South Korea, have you? Now, I must admit, I only spent two years in Seoul, but it seemed pretty cosmopolitan to me...
Many moons ago (read: 8-10 yrs) I would head out to the client's house for easy money.
Hmmm... Extra money, eh?
Most "Drug Lords" use sat phones.
...the days of a weekend in Tijuana are all but over...
Ah yes. But who will forget the Donkey Sex Show. She took it ALL! A Tijuana classic that can not be had in The States.
TFA is dated 13th April 2009.
You *did* see more than one linky up there, right? Like the one that references a *very recent* article? Yes? Moron... Lay off the video games and sugar, and your attention span might get longer.
So far, only 69% have registered...

In the US Pacific Northwest, it has been found that farm raising salmon significantly hurt the wild populations.
No, it has been found that destruction of natural habitat, dams, and overfishing significantly hurt the wild salmon populations.
Are you so hateful and obsessed that you have....
You're the one that sounds pretty angry.

I develop complex Web apps that work just fine in IE, FF, Safari, and Chrome, with no problem.

The sooner the "old media" of mega corporations deciding how millions should think passes away, the better.
Murdoch is a 79 year old Type AAA. He's not long for this world.
Nobody uses the root account in Linux for everyday activity.
Really? More than you think...
So no worries about the system in general.
Dangerous assumptions continue...
If IBM is using anti-competitive practices again, then maybe it's time for some external constraint.
It's "anti-competitive" to let your competitors use your patented work? Is that you, RMS? Only on Slashdot...
