considering any you are buying locally will be made in china or korea anyway then if you are scared of those cards you should be scared of just about every piece of electronic kit in the modern world. Your only safe bet is to go live in the woods with an abundant amount of tin foil.
Actually I think you are wrong, it is simply the bad games that get all the attention, most big games both good and bad have review embargoes. The intent is not to block coverage, rather it is to permit more thorough indepth reviews rather than a rushed hack job at the last minute.
you have time to do a thorough unrushed review with a properly edited write up. Otherwise if they get access the same time as everyone else it becomes a race pump out the fast review to grab the eyes to your site. In theory the embargoes are meant to help everyone, some companies abuse their purpose to prevent negative press before release which is not what they were meant for.
sadly I have tried the latest Z30, and no being a smaller security target for people is not worth the pain of being forced to use it. The last few blackberry's combined with the abortion that is the BES made it very easy for where I work to finally pull the plug on blackberry as neither the Users wanted it and the poor bastards having to run BES certainly didn't want it.
The problems you describe have _absolutely_nothing_ to do with the underlying chip instruction set architecture.
Then what is it? Android OS problem?
YES it is an Android problem. barring a manufacturing defect the chip does what it is told, their is nothing you can really do at the hardware level to counteract an OS that gets its knickers in a knot.
If I was only speaking for myself then this would not be an issue. the great unwashed masses do not want to be paying constantly for upgrades, nor do they want to wonder if their console is currently powerful enough to run Game X or Y. They want to purchase it and know that everygame release in the next 5 or so years for it will run exactly the same for everyone. Developers also love a single spec to develop for, they know every copy of the game will run at exactly the same resolution and framerate for every person with no hardware variant compatibility or performance issues. This is why consoles exist, otherwise everyone could simply have a PC and I say this as primarily a PC gamer. consoles appear to both developers and consumers because they are a fixed target with known costs.
Their is a massive difference between your own government monitoring you and a foreign government invasively monitoring you. I am not surprised they were justifiably offended by the US's breaches of trust. But your second statements are bullshit, both French and German government spying also caused uproar.
Everyone spies on everyone else, but clearly countries like the US are pushing beyond the boundaries of acceptable behavior when some of the deepest most invasion spying is against supposed friends or their own people. Not to mention spies are not supposed to be above the law!
they can be stopped or at least reduced, they feed on responses, you stop them by not responding to them, especially publically. basically you do everything the opposite way this silly cow has responded to them.
That doesn't make it credible at all. posting easily obtained information is just more trolling to ensure a response. It is simply unrealistic to investigate every anonymous death threat, especially when said person receiving them is definitely getting a lot purely to antagonize her and elicit responses which she is stupidly providing thus feeding them.
recruit agencies are all about easy money, skilled and experienced people are easy cash for them. Just avoid them all together, most companies small and large HATE these agencies as much as we do and if you look online or phone the companies you are looking for they are usually happy to take a resume directly as it avoids a hefty finders fee to the agencies.
not very many, worked with hundreds of developers over the past 20-30 years. off the top of my head I can only think of 2 that would fit into that category and both of them are very open about their issues so it is easy to get past it. putting that aside for a moment though, most developer roles require some good communication skills, only entry level code monkeys and the odd tech guru can get away with no communication/social skills in this day and age.
You hit on the key words of "can be". I have worked with a lot of developers over the years that think they can implement security, most of them would have trouble securing their fly correctly. I find the fact they are using their "own secure channel" implementation to be a huge warning sign.
People hire organizations to control their public image all the time through social media and the press. Anyone with significant funds most definitely can control their public image if they do so wish.
Firstly that so called little line is over 200,000 kilometers long. Secondly it ISN'T a straight line, there is a relatively large various (these objects are all farely small and a line "close" to the equator leaves a very large amount of space for them to play in. The ocean is thousands of times more crowded, go out in the middle of the ocean, you will be lucky to even see another boat let alone be at a huge risk of a collision.
Glassholes are unwelcome visitors in many establishments, if someone is dependent on prescription glasses to the point where they must have them then they are morons for relying completely on a device they may be asked to remove.
It doesn't even say he is taking advantage of it, just that the rules say he can (in which case he would be mad not to do it as I can't think of any group less capable of handling money than the government, he could flush half down the dunny and then give half to a charity and it would still be better spent than going in the tax coffers).
I would love to know of even one example of something I "believe" in without evidence.
Logic. (That said, I believe in it too, also w/o evidence.)
ummm that is ridiculous, I don't believe in logic. Logic is process and is the result of analyzing facts or evidence and coming to a conclusion that meets those facts. It is by definition relying on evidence.
people get pissed off with certain questions where they (rightly in my opinion) believe it is none of the governments business what I do or don't believe in and hence such questions insight a much higher rate of bullshit answers, When I am forced to do the census I also lie my arse off on questions I think they have no right to know the answer too.

most Slashdot users have a rather impressive set of breasts themselves so it is kinda relevant.

They didn't hack a nokia 5100 or a Motorola razr either. Probably for the exact same reason, why expend effort to hack something nobody uses anymore.

A console that is upgraded as needed destroys everything that makes a console attractive to both the consumers and the developers.
If you need to ask this question on Slashdot then chances are you don't have the skills to build and run such a system properly.

I have a broken watch, can't quite work out when 88:88 is going to roll past though.

It does support TLS. Not to mention if nothing else has made them upgrade then this is also unlikely to be an impetus even if TLS wasn't supported.
