Things like plot and game-mechanic spoilers, shock sites, and things I'd generally rather not read or view instead burn into my brain even before I get a chance to realize what hit my eyes. Other things (however important) end up filed away in my brain's apparently vast realm of Please Jog My Memory, I Forget.
I'm pretty sure it's normal (if not crucial for natural responses like fight-or-flight), but it still amuses me (except when it disturbs me).
I know it uses Pupil(tm) technology for high dynamic range. It's closed source and hard to crack but I'm pretty sure someone in Science already used it for wall hacks. Those guys are l33t.
Though it seems like an exception to that headline law, it doesn't count because we already knew they already spy on us or allow direct use of their facilities to do so.
First they came for the netflix streams, and I didn't speak out because my plea to be saved from the abusive, well-armed government officer at my door wasn't a netflix stream.
But Mozilla's stated goals are to 'promote openness, innovation, and opportunity on the Web for users and developers,' rather than to compete with Android and iOS. What do you think they need to do in order to achieve that in a meaningful way?
Compete with Android and iOS.
Sometimes things that aren't your goal are prerequisite to it.
That's what I abhor about 8. Windows 7 still kinda-respects mouse users, while letting them use certain whiz-bang touch features if their screen happens to support touch (the taskbar icons have menus that you can "pull" out with a slow drag of the mouse or finger, etc.). Its search also respects that you might want to search for your apps and files on your filesystem on your computer.
I agree, except between Windows 8 and the Cisco cloud silliness, Apple will probably follow the trend and push OSX users to iOS instead. More control and all that.
It's easy to miss the part just before the ". BEEEEP." where they say " inc. A subsidiary of Parkinson Marketing Group", because they sped it up 'til it became a blip of white noise.
So do the users have control over usage in Facebook ads now? If not, Facebook won big. Even if so, Facebook has inspired a whole bunch of "social" marketers.
Ah, but that's a petition to "Scrap Plans to Monitor all Emails and Web Usage". If they only monitor 99.999% of them they can still say they accepted the petition.:)
MUCH harder. Shit, those few times I could even get the Less-than-Citizen Preview to work in VirtualBox only looked decent because of the Aero glassiness (and some of the Metro transitioney goodness, with the caveat that it was, well, Metro transitioney goodness). Now I can't even tolerate it for that.
Who the fuck inflicted company-wide brain trauma over there at Microsoft post-7? Was it Colonel Mustard with a lead pipe? Ballmer with an office chair?
Someday, when my soul and will are fully broken by the business world and I become an exec, I too shall use that "sharpen strategy" line from the press release...
Me
"Good news Jim-Bob, we're about to sharpen our strategy!"
Jim-Bob
"Yay! So, duhhhh, I'll be having a longer schedule in the project?"
Me
"No, Jim-Bob, you'll have no hours in the project. We'll just get some guys from China when we need help. Bwa hahaha hah!" *continues evil laugh for 4 minutes*

The Korea Association for Creation Research's motto is, "Don't let facts get in the way of a good tithe."

Just never ever see her again (lest she complain to your face about the non-working phone) and Mission Accomplished!

In 8, it's more "If You Don't Use These Mobile App and Touch Interface Paradigms Despite Your Non-Mobile Non-Touch Device, We'll Kill This Dog". So though I bought 7, I won't touch 8.
Nah, in this case they'll root their own computers and stream you the video of the resulting chaos.
Thus far, Manhattan's Second Ave Subway project has proven parts [c] and (arguably) [b] wrong. We'll see if it at least validates [a].
Maybe you were thinking a bit more colossal though.
Indeed, only the ones done legally, and that the Office learns about, have dropped.

The letters are Elvish, of an ancient mode, but the language is that of Mordor, which I will not utter here.
Don't just walk from Facebook...

Well hey, "on par with Mubarak-era Egypt" can't be that bad!
You'd be a terrible CEO to the marketing team and shareholders, but fuck the marketing team and shareholders.
As a corollary, because these reasoning-challenged kids' brains are obviously made of wood, they are witches and must be burned.
My goodness, I think your logic has saved America!
It was obviously a virus that spreads pictures of Cutie Honey in...compromising positions.

Ick.

That's happened before, but it's still perplexing after the OP linked The Register in the submission. *shrugs*
Waaait. The Romans didn't offer Pompeii Whore Simulation seminars?
