You didn't get the memo? We call regular windows light orifaces now. An example. Jack lost his ball when it went through sally's light oriface popping the virgin oriface and hitting Sally's baby on the head.
Mischievous hackers are going to have a field day with this one. They will really be able to crash the devices.
Popup on the console... "Please accept this paypal transaction to avoid going off the cliff in front of you."
I have seen relatives use them for Christmas and birthday presents. It makes me wonder how often that actually happens. Charge for the boxes when someone gets one. Don't give them away free expecting everyone to use them to mail something.
"Nothing with sensitive information was ever stored on it"... That you know of.
Once people start using it in a business environment they (or others that learn about it) are likely to use it for more sensitive files in a crunch. It is inevitable.
Unbreakable as in the resources required would be very significant to get access... yes. Laptops that use pre-boot authentication have solutions to protect them as long as they are powered off when stolen.
The problem with phones of any kind is that they are always powered on so a pre-boot authentication scheme does not work for them. Even if you tried to protect the key the device has to have it in memory to decrypt the data so there could be a way to get it.
For those using "GOOD for Enterprise" instead of the built-in exchange functionality you are protected. GOOD is a separate app that requires a pass phrase to access the data. I don't really like this solution because it is not integrated but that is a benefit from a security standpoint.
Do you seriously think that updating router firmware, firewalls, etc would be harder than migrating to IPv6? IPv6 transition would be much more difficult. Devices have to support IPv6 for them to work. Fixing routing just needs a relatively simple change on the router/firewall.
I have been following this issue for awhile now which also affects CentOS 4 and CentOS 5. For setting up Linux firewall systems it can be a big security risk for interfaces to come up differently on a reboot. There are workarounds but an out of the box solution would surely make setting up firewalls easier on Linux.
The big advantage to the iPad for me is that it lasts all day on battery with just about constant usage. I know that it is always available if I need it without needing to find an outlet. I sometimes go 2 days without charging it. That nvidia dual core CPU I have a feeling will drain the batteries pretty quickly when something makes heavy use of it. I sure hope they put a big battery in it. If they do I would probably end up getting one. If it only lasts 5 hours on battery under medium use then it will be useless to me.
Assuming they do everything else right... wIthout dual analog controls it will more than likely be another failure. I returned my PSP Go after realizing they didn't add dual analog controls from the older PSP generation. The gameboy franchise already has the touch screen with digital control scheme nailed down. Since the iPhone/iPad can do it now the bar has been raised. Sony needs to show some inovation to get people to switch to their mobile gaming platform. Anything less than dual analog controls will be a downgrade from an iPhone/iPad. Sony has a chance to get a big boost in sales if they do it.
This can work for smaller developers and even some bigger ones that have already priced their DLC and games properly. For companies like Microsoft though that already charge so much for everything they sell... nobody is going to give a second thought at getting a cheaper version instead of the more expensive. $50 is too much money for Windows 7 Ultimate IMHO. $30 is about right.
The PSP analog stick is way to small with movement so a better analog control is a great thing to hear about the 3DS. Not having a dual analog stick is a big mistake though. That is what hampered the PSP gameplay when converting FPV shooters(a long with the very small movement of the analog control on the PSP). Surprisingly this is where the iPhone and iPad work better with some practice getting used to not having tactile feedback of the analog controls. You develop muscle memory to know where your thumb and what amount/direction of movement it will create but you have dual analog control and you can even tweak the throw of those virtual analog controls to suite your preference. If PSP2 or 3DS had physical dual analog controls that would be one sweet setup. I honestly don't see how they could not add dual analog sticks in the year 2010. 1 analog stick is just not enough nowadays.
Or maybe another competitor might take him in since his name was published. It would be a bad idea for them to fire him:). I am willing to bet he will be better off in the long run with his name published.
I agree. I see trailers for movies just like demos. If free demos started becoming paid for demos it would just cause me to buy less games... which would be a good thing for my finances. I discover new games that I like on PSN because of the demos. Not everyone has the time to read every preview and be up on the latest games coming out. I depend on PSN demos to see what games I like. Without that I know for a fact I would buy less games. At this point I would question the quality of a game that required a paid for demo. Are they so sure they will loose a sale that they need money for the demo?
Funny you mention this. The anti-piracy intro has also started getting to me recently. I paid for the movie so I shouldn't have to spend an hour or two of my life total during a year watching them. It is always the real paying customers that get the short end of the stick. Pirates just rip that portion out.
Most important reason is that my phone is free. The built in email app works great(much better than my previous phones) for the other features I need. It just doesn't have the body searching feature. The iGmail is launched just like the built-in app so it is not like it is harder to use iGmail when I need it.
If the phone didn't have some decent Apps for it then it would be much more of an issue.
I downloaded the free iGmail specifically for the searching features. I use the regular iPhone mail app to read mail but it can not search in the body portion of the emails. If I need to do a search (For instance to see what I have bought through iTunes) I launch iGmail and us it's search feature. Apple really needs to think more seriously about their feature set. Full body searches is something that is very important for an email app.
I don't really care either because I won't be buying games no matter how good they are with that *subscription* model but I think gamers in general might care if it gets to the point that Sony starts making games 90% online and a very short single player component to try and curb even more pre-owned sales.
So much for proof reading... It should have read...
Hmm... Cellphone companies rushing to get infrastructure back up. They might be publicly saying "Lets get some help in there so that families can communicate and get the help they need". I am sure internally it is more like... "We are loosing a ton of money every day that the cellphone infrastructure is down. We need that up ASAP!"

You beat me to it. I loved that show as a kid! Beedeebeedeebeep. I did try to watch an old episode of it again with the wife and it didn't keep my attention much.
"The U.S. government has known about the flaw since the U.S. campaign in Bosnia in the 1990s, current and former officials said. But the Pentagon assumed local adversaries wouldn't know how to exploit it, the officials said"
They know about it and didn't fix it then? That should have been one of the first questions asked when they were developed. Is all sensitive data encrypted? Yes video is very sensitive data. Just that fact that they know what the military is looking at is sensitive data in itself.

"magnet to his/ her tongue with Fixodent" Certainly nothing bad could come of that... Like kids swallowing the magnets. Very bad idea.

Cellphone Transmitted Disease... Be safe everyone. Make sure to bring cellphone condoms or just don't use your friends cellphone.

DIY laser enthusiasts are already doing this with very light smoke particles. This is using 100mw home built hobbyist lasers from used CD drives, etc.

That is all I want to know. When can we reduce our latency between WAN links half way around the world down to 0ms?
