The problem, however, is not if, but when the data fall into the wrong hands, or not if, but when the data is compromised.
The data is precise enough that Kamkar says Google not can, but will correlate timing and frequency of phone usage to pinpoint an Android owner's home address.
"When your phone is at the same location during night hours, they know where you live," says Kamkar. "When your phone location is on the move, they will guess that you're in a car and even calculate how fast your car is moving."
Yet ironically, Watson failed to score on any of the "Also On Your Computer Keys" category. Some poor IBM intern is getting reamed for not giving Watson a keyboard to refer to, on the podium.

Just like in software development with large teams, sometimes it's better to be consistent bad than being inconsistently correct.
It's better for the car to go with the flow.
If it helps, I can offer a wide range of prerecorded sound bytes for Larry to use. He can record them from Google Voi... oh, nvm.

If somebody at Twitter deleted those accounts,... what could the US government do to Twitter as a corporation?
They would ask them for a copy of the deleted information.
I'm sorry, anyone else here under the impression that something deleted off the Internet is actually gone?

I couldn't RTFA. WAY too many unrelated other words littered on the web page. Can someone sum it up for me in 4 words or less? Thanks a bunch.

If you can get a computer to understand what you mean, then it'd change UIs forever.
The Google knows what I mean now (e.g. http://www.google.com/search?q=recursion), but I haven't seen U and I change one bit!
As long as they don't get rid of the SysRq key. I use it everyday during lunch, staring at it, feeling old and depressed.
Come to think of it, the SysRq key should be replaced with the Boss Key. (And we wouldn't have to change the function either.)
