Considering they're hiring prison guards, that's a fair assumption.
They're hiring people to guard society's most violent people (murders, rapists, child molesters, etc). You don't want 'nice friendly chaps' doing that kind of work. I want the friendly people the state hires to work at the DMV or other places where dealing with the state sucks. I want prison guards to be able to control the prison population, which isn't done by saying please and thank you.
An extreme minority experiencing a problem...since when is this news? it's happened with android and with the iphone as well.
True, but with the paltry install base for WP7 it's probably a larger percentage than with other smartphones. If it is just "two particular firmware versions" as mentioned in the other reply than how did MS miss testing this update with this manufacturer?
Why bundle this with Amazon Prime? Why not just make it a separate subscription service? It feels like the equivalent of bundling a haircut with a tech support service subscription for a Linux distro.
While the library is small they give it away. Once they get a respectable library of titles they'll have a bunch of people who are using it to start charging while they claim "We never said it would be free for ever. You can't complain about something you were getting for free." Base on the amount of users they'll be able to measure what their monthly fee will be (the more popular it is the more they'll charge - up to the amount Nerflix charges - with a discount to Prime users).
Information wants to be free, but more importantly people want to be alive. Shooting peaceful protesters seems like a much worse offense than trying to shut down the intertubes.
You can dial 911 on any land line without service. If your shit hits the fan scenario is to call 911 you are screwed. Lots of other folks will be calling at the same time.
But a Stonecutter knows that the real emergency number is 912.
And yet everything is still working. How many other 'estimations', such as distances to distant stars, etc, can be off by a small percentage that would result in a large amount of actual distance? We're human and we do the best we can at estimating.
Chicken and egg. In order to grant wifi accesss, the potential juror must allow the public prosecutor's office to be friends. However, the juror must have access to the account in order to approve any friend requests. Thus the juror could, when accessing the account to allow the friend, change their privacy settings.
<Artie Johnson>Very interesting.
You're absolutely right. Who brings their laptop to court anyway? Would they protest that you were taking notes? Some may have a tablet at this point, but wouldn't most be using their phones anyway?
This is for potential jurors during voir dire. They won't have time to go to their FB page and edit settings. The prosecutors don't get to stay 'Friends' during the trial so who 'follows around jurors' will lose their jobs.
One of the main problems with initial ndroid releases (2.2, 2.3, 3.0, etc) is that Google works very closely with only one vendor. All the rest then need to play catch-up. With only one 'set of hands' working with the HW/SW mix you don't get as much progress before it hits the stores/streets.
On the other hand, I've yet to see personalized advertising systems which is accurate enough to be of value. I've never clicked any Google or Facebook ads because they have never hit anything that I would want. Until that gets addressed, there's not a huge future in that either.
These companies have real value - Google's a huge company with a market cap of $202 billion as of this morning's opening. When this issues gets addressed these companies will be more valuable.
I've actually found Al Jazeera reporting to be much better than most American news sources. The Al Jazeera articles are usually well written, don't have sensationalist headlines, and you don't have to sift through all the latest celebrity crap.
Then how am I supposed to know which article to click on with headlines like "Charlie Sheen's Porn Stars Save Egypt's Treasures From Lindsey Lohan's 'Shopping Spree' "?
The government is full of idiots (hell, we vote for a good chunk of them). But there are enough non-idiots to keep this type of shit from happening (usually). I'd be worried if there were more non-idiots then idiots though, because with all the malice and plotting they do at the moment we're safer because most of them aren't much smarter than my cat.

It makes sense that they would sprout flowers considering my shoes end up smelling like fertilizer after I've worn them too long.
I'm getting an Android! Finally, I can get a 3-way going during phone sex :-)
Exactly. Vigilance ... and trying to protect clients/users/family from themselves ... is the only way to be sure.

We're Amazon and we want to be everything to everybody!

I've actually had to try to survive a couple of nights in New Orleans in dead of summer with NO air conditioning, man, that was brutal.
You should have tried some blankets. I've recently read that they work wonders.

"Voir dire" - a French phrase translated as "jury tampering".
Not to be confused with "Very dire" - a common phrase translated as "on trial".
The prosecutors don't get to stay 'Friends' during the trial so who 'follows around jurors' will lose their jobs.

Can an attorney for the defense offer $10 to become Facebook 'Friends'? Can a potential juror sell it to the highest bidder? Or both??
Jurors have no business using wifi while they're serving anyway.
This is only during voir dire - they're not serving yet. They're being picked over like cattle.

Exactly. That's how this whole mess started.
Except if the WBC is claiming responsibility, then they're no longer anonymous, they're just jerks.
Yes they are. But to be fair, they were jerks long before this.
Oh, and I'd like to say that WBC are a bunch of attention whores... but then, that's not news.
They're just the other side of the coin in which Anonymous is minted.
A coin that Jullian Assange has tried to cash.
Xoom, Flash, all these 'fast' names ... I'd like something slower please. Can I have a nice product called 'Savor'?

Contrary to government-is-full-of-idiots lore ...
The government is full of idiots (hell, we vote for a good chunk of them). But there are enough non-idiots to keep this type of shit from happening (usually).
