The hardest problem I've seen people have with Google Glass is how obvious it is you are wearing the glasses. People in public assume you are recording them and it bothers them.
If you over come that, I think it would be a fantastic barrier to remove.
So, you have no issues with people recording you when you don't know about it?
You think is OK for some Glasshole to walk into a restaurant where you are enjoying a public yet private dinner with a friend, record it and put it up on the Intertubes? You are OK with that. I mean, it is a "public" place, right?
I know, public places and all, just posing the question...
Not excusing HP but if someone is looking to intentionally defraud in this scenario and they have control of the information, books, invoices etc that are handed to HP then it is nearly impossible to ever be 100% certain before an acquisition, at some point you have to trust that the people you are dealing with and if you are then found to have been duped you get the police involved.
With a deal this big, HP might have wanted to verify the numbers through independent sources?
So, in their quest to be like Facebook and Google by snapping up technology for obscene money, they forgot to do "due diligence", and now they are pissed?
HP used to be such a great technology company, until they switched to the printer ink scam... At least they sold off their bench test equipment designs to a company that is still producing fairly nice stuff.
As we know, there is quite a bit that the President can do without congress. As well, with the lifting of restrictions that are within the President's power, a "critical mass" for full lifting will build. Don't fool yourself, it will - and should - happen.

University and college kids might want to keep the book forever (such as a good math book or a book on timeless algorithms).
You bet I want to keep a book I pay $200 for. Many of my basic references are fro college. This is not such a big deal for grade school and high school.
And for me, I find that I can find and absorb material faster and better with printed references. Indeed, when I buy an technical ebook, I immediately print it out and put it in a ring binder (thanks, boss for the copier)...
Ed-Tech vendors' so-called "weapons of mass instruction," argues Beyer, may show "gains" on the high-stakes tests because they mimic the targeted test format, but the learning gains don't necessarily transfer to the real world, or last much longer than the end of the school year.
This has long been a problem with "standardized tests", schools teach only to the test because their jobs and budgets depend on high numbers. Thinking and teaching outside the test? Not allowed, hell, we already don't teach proper handwriting anymore.
We should absolutely be teaching technology in schools, starting with real actual math and reading comprehension, moving on to both software and hardware and other types of technology - I'm not a teacher, who knows... But like the house with an operating system, I think many of these new computer teaching tools are simply companies looking for ways to squeeze money out of people for things they don't really need, and if the government is paying for it, you know they paid a whole lot for it. Are we just fattening some venture capitalist's pocket with this stuff?
I'm on the fence about the textbooks themselves being on tablets, maybe that makes sense. But if we are going to hand off teaching to computers, why pay for anything more than a human babysitter - or is that what we are doing already?
Your mistake is in assuming that wired homes will serve their occupants. They're meant to serve government and civil authorities at the occupant's expense. Note: I avoided using the term 'owner' on purpose.
Networks run by professionals can't keep the hackers out, and I want my home to have an operating system? I'm not intereested in my appliences sending me text messages, and my furnace is already on a fairly sophisticated timer. For me, at least, the answer is "no" - for the time being. I really don't see any show-stopping need beyond "wow, my house is wired!"

With a name like rimdingler, you would have visibility on that issue, right?

How much is a "shit ton"? Can you relate that to a metric shit ton? I'm looking for a car analogy...
Wow, the Indian H1-B contigent must be on Slashdot today...
Pythagorean theorem was discovered in India.
Really? I heard it was discouvered in North Korea by Great Leader Kim Il-sung, and later perfected under the guidence of Dear Leader Kim Jong-il
The sound of a line printer spewing out paper a line at a time.
Zip, zip, zip, zip...
borders are gone.
If you think Borders was a real bookstore, you've never been to one. Try Powells in Portland. Doing great business, they are.
that a puff story about how the internet isn't important wouldn't understand how a hyperlink works.
So says an Anon Coward.
I've been reading about how "dead tree" books and radio were "buggy whips", and by now the Internet would have eliminated both.
At the same time, I want to know where my flying car is...
Next thing you know, there will be a story about how a lot of people still buy books and go to libraries!
I simply stop reading when an author makes obvious grammar mistakes.
They haven't taught grammar in schools since the early naughties
Pumping out water for that shaft has caused ground settling in the area.
Pure speculation by the anti-tunnel folks. Water pumping has resumed.

You assume those networks are ran by professionals. They may work for a company, but rarely do you hear about a professional place getting hacked.
It's easy to make statements like that, but from a factual standpoint, you'vr got nothing to support your view.

Makes me think of "smart meters".
Thanks for the comment about Soilent News, didn't know they existed. No, I can't figure out Reddit either.

So: not for the general public.
