    Yeah? prove he did so at all, troll.

    No they haven't. Speaking from the use of 14.10 with latest as of today, it sucks balls on my APU. Open drivers still work great but lack OpenCL. I wish I had nvidia...

    I don't own one, I'm just transhumanist enough to really want any development at all into this kind of thing.

    I'd be okay with that, but I'm fairly libertarian.

    These places already record you though, for their own security. Look at it more like a personal dash-cam. Why shouldn't people be able to record their personal fields of view in public? Why does that offend you to the point of restricting a new technology? You're a flat out luddite. Sure if you don't like it, leave, but you should just accept it as a fact of life in the future. Camera density will only ever go up. You'll be on more and more of them, personal and private, and may not even be aware of that fact, and you can't stop it, so why worry?

    Yeah I would kill for such an app.

  10. Re:Android is being improved too. Catching up will on Could Tizen Be the Next Android? · · Score: 1

    I've a fair bit of experience here but: do you know how the average consumer buys a phone? By average I mean of the millions that make an iphone or whatever successful? They walk in to a store, all hurr-durr, ask "what's good?" and get lead to either an iPhone, or a Galaxy whatever, depending on which store they walked into, and how many northface jackets they're wearing that day, because that's what makes money for the sale. The consumer doesn't see past the brand and barely registers the device runs android vs iOS or fuckall 3.0, they just go "ooo, Galaxy, my friend loves hers!" and plow down 800 fucking dollars for a facebook and angry birds device.

    I've got an N5 now, but to say Apple was behind Google in the early days of android is.....silly. I had an iPhone 2g and a Tmobile G1. The iPhone blew android out of the fucking water at the time.

    You can't get everyone to tune in and wake up enough to do that. You can't even get 5% to do that. Especially not from your platform.

    Give me a quad core Atom phone, with an intel GPU (none of the powerVR bullshit), running DESKTOP WIN10 when docked and a phone environ when not...and I'll buy fucking 5 of them.

  17. No, as he was not a drug dealer nor a kingpin. That's like saying ebay sellers are peers to the CEO of ebay.

  18. A jury is supposed to be peers. In this guy's case, that should consist entirely of sysadmin's and cipherpunks.

    The ACA was cooked up by a republican thinktank and forced down the democrats throats as a 'compromise' to single-payer, for the sole benefit of insurance companies, and now you get to blame democrats for your problems. Perfect.
