So, basically, password protect your cell-phone and never let someone else you don't trust use it.
Most cells don't have password protection once they're turned off. And it's not "don't let someone else use it", it's "don't let anyone use it", not your friend, not your girlfriend, not your parents, no one.
BTW, could it be cancelled easily as it can be setup?
If you dismiss the fact that you don't even know you're being tracked (and therefore wouldn't have the idea to cancel your tracking), then yes.
Excuse me, but what the hell has ever been "innovative" in the iPod? iPod is not about innovation, it's about user experience, ease of use, streamlined and beautiful piece of electronics, not about "innovation".
The first iPod was not innovative, the iPod micro was not innovative, the iPod Shuffle would not have been innovative 2 years before it was released, the video iPod was obsolete a year before it was released at least (innovation-wise). The iPod has never been about innovation, creating a product "as innovative as the iPod" means being years behind everyone technology-wise, it means having to care about the user experience, it means having to appeal to the masses, it means working for the lowest common denominator. And I wouldn't trust samsung to manage that in a million year.
You barely need the phone for 5mn to setup the tracking, a guy has already used it to track his girlfriend.
He told his gf what he was going to do and got authorization, but basically everything that's required is to get sole access to the switched-on phone for 5 minutes: setup the tracking, receive SMS, delete SMS, you're done, the owner of the phone is tracked without his knowledge. With this kind of "requirements", you can setup a tracking for quite a large number of people...
No it's not, and even though quite a lot of companies were involved in the Compact Disc itself the company officially credited with the invention of the Compact Disc is, has always been and will always be Philips. The Sony-Philips partnership started in 1979, one week after Philips' first demonstration of a CD player (in March 1979), when a Philips delegation went to a conference involving every leading japanese electronics companies (the conference was sponsored by the MITI, the Japanese Ministry of Industry and Technology)
If everybody in the country boycotted ALL music, concerts, T-Shirts and movies then they'd stop forcing DRM down our throats.
Dunno, last CDs I bought were copy-protectionless, I have no reason to boycott them. The day I won't find what I want to listen to without DRM and copy protections, I will start boycotting indeed. Until then, I have no reason to.
Correct, a really good crypto system would be continuously transmitting a constant stream of jibberish and would have a preshared library of start and stop keywords to allow good data to be picked out by automatic means.
Or your school/uni just gets a contracts with the software houses it wants you to install stuff from.
Want an example? Microsoft's MSDNAA. I don't know how much it cost my school, but I do know that thanks to this MSDNAA contract, every single student gets access for free to every flavour of Windows since 2000 (== every version of 2000, XP and 2003), SQL Server, Office, Visio, Visual Studio,... you name it, you have it.
The only cost is the time spent downloading the ISO archives...
I'm pretty sure guys like Adobe do have that kind of educational programs.
Among managers you mean? Cause struts for sure ain't popular with any dev that has ever used any other framework. Spring, Webworks, Tapestry, probably, but Struts? hell no, the only ones who like struts are the guys who only ever used it, and never any other framework.
Widely used in corporations doesn't mean that it's good, widely used in corporations means that managers can easily cover their asses by picking it.
Just tell your devs to use "the standard of the industry" == what everyone uses (struts) even if it's a fucking piece of crap (struts) and if dozens of projects have failed because of this heap of dung (struts).
Because that way, you protect your ass: if the project fail, can't be your framework choice, you chose "the standard of the industry", it's obviously because of the devs... or the marketting... or the hardware... but not you.
It's more like GPG and Chris Taylor with SupCom: "We'll release when we're ready and not before, because we want to give the players a fucking great game and nothing else".
It's slightly frightening, mightly frustrating and somewhat annoying, but at least you know the guys are commited to provide you with great entertainment, and you usually get a good game out of it. Sometimes late, but always good.
Kutagari's more of a hardware guy, not a software/networking one. I kind of doubt he has the expertise with that kind of things, while the Sony Online Entertainment supposedly do.
Now, truth to be told, there is still hope... as long as the SOE guys don't start making games for the PS3 it may recover.
I'm sure Sony actually/will/ put together a good service
I'm not, ever browsed a sony portal/website? You can hardly find worse pieces of crap.
they have the know-how over in the Sony Online Entertainment division
Yeah, the makers of SWG, the sinkers of Everquest, woohoo, that's something to look forward to, kind of like watching the titanic depart from england after knowing the end of the story.
I guess you're supposed to shout "WAH, PS3 ONLINE !!1!ELEVEN" while thinking "NO WAI", and then someone from sony will come to you and answer "YA WAY!!!".

For one that does, dozens don't, just pick one that doesn't and you can track people without their knowledge...

And I will be voting with my Euros as I won't buy a PS3.

Kind of looks like Waste to me.
Clippy sez: "Did you mean officio.us?"
they forgot the True Incarnation of web 2.0, the embodyment of what "Web 2.0" means, the body and soul of the movement.
Is anyone but Lada actually behind American automotive companies?
Hell, I'm not even sure Lada's still behind.
And datesims, and eroge/H-games.

Looks like captain obvious feels mightly insightful today.
Monkeys called, they never produced Dubya and will sue you for implying such a horrifying thing.
Sorry, I always manage to fuck up the name: it's WebWork (singular), not WebWorks (plural).

Zope's not a framework, it's an application server.
