...researchers have created software that gives images an expiration date by tagging them with an encrypted key so that once this date has passed the key stops the images being viewed and copied.
How long shell we wait before some fella creates a tool that copies those photos, backs them up somewhere after removing the so called encryption?
If they doubt this is possible, they need not look very far. The RIAA knows a thing or two about this.
The submitter is myopic in my opinion and here's why:
When he writes statements like...
Meanwhile, it's been an Apple iOS and Google Android show at CES 2011, in the popular press, and in customers' hands. (Microsoft and Nokia essentially ceased to matter by Christmas 2010.)
...one wonders whether he's just ignorant or just tired. Let me educate him. The USA is not the world and neither does it represent it. Nokia is still the largest smartphone manufacturer in the world, and it's this manufacturer that he labels `cease to matter!`
Any tech person knows that it's not wise to underestimate Microsoft. They are still at the party though no one notices. Sincerely, I feel his conclusions are premature.
Save for search, Two Google key products hereunder need serious updating as outlined:
1: GMail: The interface needs more functionality. Heck, one cannot sort! Imagine that. Functionality like that of CloudMagic would not hurt if inbuilt by default and not having to get it via an extension.
2: Google Docs: The Spreadsheet needs serious love to make freezing rows, coloring columns according to programmable logic a snap.
Why 'waste' resources of these so called science fairs? Who is advising folks at Google?
What the hell do Apple think they are anyway? I am happy with Android. Trouble is, Oracle since it created a reminder that my favorite gadget may have no future in its present form. Scary indeed.
Programmers at Opera have proven to me that they are a force to be reckoned with. If the Firefox team had just 3/4 of the ambition of Opera folks, Firefox would be quite advanced. Credit goes to them. The [frequent] releases they make are a testimony to their skill.
While the Cr-48's big event recently could be seen worldwide over the internet infrastructure that Google itself supports, testing of this device was only limited to those residing in the US!
This was unfair to those outside the United States. Making things even worse was the fact that at registration, one only came to this realization after being asked about what the U.S. State of residence is. This would be after asking for all other information!
Google should have allowed those without a U.S. shipping address to be billed for any expenses if they really wanted to be part of the testing regime. Heck...Google has "Google Checkout", right?
I was not happy at all. Google being a worldwide company would have benefited a lot from worldwide input.
The oceans are about 5% explored. More resources should be geared toward the oceans as well.
You never know...we might find some creature under there that has some complex protein mankind could use to treat chronic diseases like diabetes, AIDS and the like.
Here's my appeal: I would like to know what this really means for Java, Dalvik and of course Android. A good, balanced and sensible analysis will be appreciated.
Remember that no resources on planet earth are infinite. Amazon knows this. If 15,000 people initiate these DDoS attacks, Amazon will be in trouble. Bad press also does no good.
Reuters seems to think the 'consequences' are of an economic nature, pointing out that half of the countries with economies that gained global influence during recent times are boycotting the ceremony (with Brazil and India still attending).
With China and other foreign countries holding more that half of the US debt, such a development should put the US on notice. It appears that those countries that 'boycotted' the ceremonies have seen the writing on the wall: China matters, and matters big time.
Over in these United States, our politicians keep bickering about how to 'handle' the massive deficit all the while making it worse with every regime/administration.
Sad indeed. Just the other month, China and Russia plotted to dump the US currency. If this comes to fruition, all hell will break lose. Trust me on this.
I see that Google also eliminates the word 'porn' from its auto complete...but when you complete it yourself and hit 'enter', results are shown instantly.
Given that consumers of pirate stuff always know what they want, I submit that Google's idea will be as they say, 'dead on arrival.'
I wouldn't mind eating beef from a cloned animal if I were to be informed accordingly. Matters become rather complicated when it comes to burgers and other processed meats where I understand such meats might be made of more than 100 animals. Scary!
Oh I tried that with MythTV. I did not want to spend cash on proprietary systems. What I got mad about was the constant corruption of the MySQL database. I kept asking myself why they would not use PostgreSQL. When TV changed over to HD, I needed new hardware...so I just gave up!
I will certainly make use of that feature. If extended to commercial TV, the ability to skip commercials would be a boon for my television watching habit. What I do is to mute the set whenever a commercial starts or is about to start. I can even tell when it's time for one.
What also troubles me is the fact that commercials air at a louder speaker volume than the program they replace on the set. Troubling indeed. Why they do that I have no idea.
Another bad thing is that in an hour of programming, about half of that hour is covered by commercials. Sometimes, the host will say..."We'll be right back..." [commercial for 5 minutes]...then return to say just one or two sentences and alas...[another 3 minute commercial].
But there's nothing to respect about someone who has now put some very real, very innocent people in danger of being killed by their government or others.
Ohh what about those that have been intentionally killed by the US government?
FYI, the Jordanian president is quoted as having said to the US government in the paragraph that starts with 'A report', "We'll continue saying the bombs are ours, not yours".
Question is, where is the difference? People died, even those who were at weddings!
This is Slashdot. Don't you know? And by the way, remember that only those who value financial property and material things, can be hurt by any disclosure of their turf. I am not one of those.
If they wanted to stop him, he would have disappeared along with the server holding his databases.
You make me laugh! You have what many call the Bush mentality. People like you think that that fella is alone. Get this: He's got many lieutenants beside him. If you want a taste of what I am talking about, ask the RIAA how successful they have been in fighting bit-torrent with billions spent.

Yes, you read right: "Dead - abandoned in all but name".
It's unclear that the phone will sell enough to help TerreStar stay in business, especially when it carries a $799 price tag."
I understand that the Cr-48 costs $450. Too expensive in my opinion. I am afraid that at this price, Google's product could be Dead on Arrival.
And just where are you in the world?
Thanks for asking: I am just across the borderline in Welland, Ontario Canada. This small town is less than 50KM from the US border.
Remember I did not want 'free' stuff and as such, was willing to meet all costs involved in order to be useful in this testing period.

I wonder whether this capability saves a user from an employer's ability to wipe the user's data remotely. How is this concern addressed?
...and hope that his site will continue to 'spill the beans.'
...and here's why:
The fact that after all these releases, Google still does not see it prudent to had 'print preview' added to Chrome as one of its features.
Folks, this feature is a killer for me...and I am not alone. Trust me on this.
