It really is a slimy piece of shit move to compare someone to Sandusky because they were at Penn under the same umbrella. This definitely harms his reputation and if you believe it then certainly you will have disagreeable opinions and feelings towards him. He's a scientist who interpreted data in a controversial way that is argued among academics, he certainly didn't rape innocent children in the showers.

2). Take caution when jailbreaking your phone, this exposes additional security vectors which require additional lock down steps.
3). Install applications only from the Play Store and read reviews before installing.
4). If your provider does not update your phone's software, you should do this manually via releases provided by manufacturers websites.

News companies should be elated about this service, they are basically getting exposure and increased revenue from google's search product without having to pay Google a dime.
I don't dislike print or digital news. There is a place for both in my opinion.
When I fly it is usually realatively short flights, 1-3 hours. Knowing I can't use electronics through half of the flight I just pickup a newspaper or a copy of news week for the trip, I read it on the flight and leave it at the gate for others to read after me. Same with the newspaper at coffee shops, its a media that is comfortable for me, whereas small phone screens or electronic tablet screens really feel foreign still to me.
I had a Kindle Fire for a while but found that wifi coverage really wasn't very good even though I live in a major city. No wifi on the train, or it wasn't working most of the time so I couldn't read the news or it was so slow that I spent half the time loading on congested wifi. Print media is still the way to go in many circumstances, unfortunately the market is shrinking very quickly so it may go the way of betamax, but until then I'm holding on.

In the US, shooting the messenger is the standard in vulnerability disclosure. As such, in the past 5 years most researchers just give up on responsible disclosure, I mean, why bother?
The good deed you are doing will be met with adverse reaction by the non-technical public, the press and law enforcement. That's a risk researchers just cannot risk, better to just use your research for your own purposes; commercial, nefarious or otherwise, than risk spending 1-10 years in federal pound me in the ass lockup. Hell, even the government doesn't give a shit about responsible disclosure, look at Stuxnet, we know it had 0 days and we believe it was government backed, where was the responsible disclosure there? Government leaving millions at risk and no one holds them accountable?
When i play video games for an extended amount of time I am no longer aware of the physical reality around me, only the virtual world and the online chat. I am focused so precisely on what I am doing, a shot of cold air or a cold keyboard when I enter an Ice level would actually detract from that. Vibration from the controller is mostly ignored when playing xbox games and a distraction as well.
With huge TV's and cheap(er) high quality Audio, I really have all I need, just focus on making better games and faster consoles and more vibrant environments and gaming will be fun for years to come.
Well, if there was an edit function I could correct the mistakes I made, since I don't have that ability, you will just need to suffer the inconvenience it has caused you and move on with your day.
I doubt they have China or the US beat. Hell, I'd venture the Casino's in Macau or Las Vegas even have that beat. They just don't report it because an accolade like a world record in this field is useless and frankly not earning you any high fives from the public either.
In America the safety features usually drive the price up, but for good reason, you probably won't die in an accident. I highly doubt this vehicle would score well on any NTSHA traffic safety test in the states and likely would be rejected by consumers as unsafe.
I know Amazon says they don't make any money on the hardware, which probably sucks for them, but a Kindle fire goes for about $ 150 US so there really isn't that much to be made on each sale, even if production costs go down 30% you are only making 45$ per unit. Now if you control the manufacturing, edge out competition like B&N's nook you could release a Kindle 2 at 300$ and still be far cheaper than an IPad and make a good chunk off hardware costs.
Good for Amazon shareholders? Sure would be! Good for consumers? Nope!
If I have a driver less car in which I am the passenger, will I still require car insurance? If so, shouldn't rates be static for all driver less cars? I mean, theoretically you should never crash, and if you do it would be the cars fault...?
First you install Firefox...
Then Flashblock....
Then Adblock Plus
Then Noscript
Then Fasterfox...
Then....
Make a browser that has the ability to turn off crap like ads, flash, easily white or black list javascript enabled sites (google, gmail, etc.) and reduce bloat (170mb of ram just to browse slashdot in firefox?!?!?!) and I'll be happy. Social Media integration? wow, who gives a flying firefox.....
To my knowledge Assange is just the face of the company, people provide wikileaks with the info and Assange is the messenger.
It is important to realize that the messenger is the one getting the flogging, not those who have committed crimes or broken the law. Just the messenger. It's specifically a message from the government "If you mess with us and reveal our secrets we will lock you away like Bradley Manning!".
Citizens pay taxes, which fund governments which are be accountable to the public who pay the taxes, that's how it *should* work. What Assange is going through shows very clearly that when we attempt to hold those in power accountable for their actions, actions which they have kept(hidden) from the public, they will go after you tooth and nail. That's the country we live in folks, keep paying taxes and keep your mouth shut, or face the wrath of the government.
What horse shit. They may not matter in search or mobile due to their current market share, but I'd speculate Research in Motion is a great example of how one day you are on top, the next you are bottom of the heap. MSFT has been churning out desktop and server operating systems, enterprise applications and CRM/ERP solutions for as long as I can remember. With further penetration into the virtualization market I'd say MSFT has a bright future and an obviously consistent and impressive track record. Remember, MSFT was piling up hundreds long before google, facebook and amazon even existed.
What the hell is wrong with the Judiciary? Why not require a warrant like any other search, because it's digital? If it REALLY is a matter of national security a judge would sign a warrant in a second. This whole thing is just horse shit so the NSA can spend billions of tax dollars spying on its OWN citizens because they have been grasping at straws in the war against terror, which frankly has accomplished jack shit in my opinion.
Imagine if we took 100% of the NSA dollars and spent it on teachers and education, science programs, social programs like healthcare, college tuition forgiveness and urban development..... ahh to dream, guess I won't be using ATT anytime soon.
Are we talking about broadband like home internet, or "mobile" broadband like phones and tablets?
In either case, I don't believe they are a "right", they are a luxury. Hell, even electricity isn't a "right", try not paying your bill for a couple months.
