  5. When I worked for a "Large Corporation" I used SSH to my home computer and did my "surfing" over that connection, now I wonder how secure that was =)

    As Flexcoin does not have the resources, assets, or otherwise to come back from this loss, we are closing our doors immediately.'"

    How about Google now? SIRI is just crap compared to Google's voice control.

    Oh and another thing, who in the hell uses a tablet for anything professional in terms of music or video production? Oh I know you will find one or 2 examples of "professional" work as proof of concept, but the truth is a touch surface is to unreliable to do music live, and to constrained to be useful for high end video.

    iPad mini sucks.

  13. Re:Slightly biased... on Android Beats iOS As the Top Tablet OS · · Score: 1

    Nexus 7 fits in my back pocket, it's quick and has everything I need.

    My experience with the iPad was a lot less pleasant, as you stated size is a factor, but it's battery ran down quicker as well.
    The Nexus seems to run forever.

  14. Re:So what? on Android Beats iOS As the Top Tablet OS · · Score: 0

    I think people just randomly down load shits apps because they are 'free", and get what they deserve.

    I'm sure Android encouraged it to "grow their app market" and now that they have they should take a iron fist to it and clean that shit up.

    Apple was good about that, but at the same time overly authoritarian in telling you what you could and couldn't use, and removing stuff they didn't like.

    All the apps I use on Android are professionally developed and look/work great.
    But then I'm past that point in my life where I download willy nilly.

  15. Re:The year of the Linux Tablet on Android Beats iOS As the Top Tablet OS · · Score: 1

    It's a start, and Apple is on the downhill slide.

    They can, it always makes me nervous when they pull these things out of the ice or attempt to "recreate" them.

    ...what could possibly go wrong?

    I wish someone would have asked that about Google Glass.

  19. "we don't understand anything anymore" on Scientists Revive a Giant 30,000 Year Old Virus From Ice · · Score: 1

    Obviously... when you're digging up 30,000 year old virus, right about the same time the Neanderthal disappeared.

  20. Oh my fascism on Tim Cook: If You Don't Like Our Energy Policies, Don't Buy Apple Stock · · Score: 1

    'We object to increased government control over company products and operations, and likewise mandatory environmental standards,'

    Sort of laughable considering how Apple does business, to be complaining about fascism.

    Take the Maps app in OSX 10.9 (Mavericks) on my Macbook pro without GPS the maps app is able to detect exactly where I am. The reason this works is because Apple has geo-located every wifi access point anywhere someone with an iPhone is.
    The iPhone scans everything around adds the GPS data and uploads it to Apples server.
    So I suppose most fanbois will say "that's a feature", but after turning it off in "privacy" (laugh) settings I applied the new SSL patch and behold, location services was once again active even after locking that panel.
    Didn't do that on the desktop.
    You have no true location privacy with any Apple computer, and I would wager even with WiFi off and Location Service off it still silently looks at the area around and sends your location data to Apple.

    She should have been arrested, not just ticketed.

  24. And now... on Using Handheld Phone GPS While Driving Is Legal In California · · Score: 1

    Everyone pulled over for a phone violation has an out, and with Google lobbying to make sure their Glass isn't targetted what becomes of public road safety?

  25. Good on Woman Attacked In San Francisco Bar For Wearing Google Glass · · Score: 2

    "other spycams" aren't usually connected to the Internet and a known NSA supporter like Google, they also don't generally run facial recognition software either.
    See the attitude of the girl though? "Oh you don't like my Glass and I don't want to remove them so now I will video you." Typical classless, self indulgent, sociopathic behaviour inherent in technophiles.
    Fuck Glassholes.
