That video had an awful lot of editing... and some 'instant response' from the device... almost like the commercials for iDevices & Droids on TV. It would have been nice to see a longer video with the actual response times for everything. I'm just sayin'
If the CIA really needs the IP, they could just declare it as eminent domain. Problem solved.
Maybe IISi could license the software to the CIA? Surely a government contract is worth a pretty penny (especially in this situation). On the flip side, if IISi's headquarters is accidentally hit by a drone using the pirated software it would be just a tad ironic (the CIA could just cliam the software was trying to get home while in 'homing pigeon' mode).
It's a sink... and some water coming out of the faucet. There is no mystery here and it isn't related to a black hole. Let's keep things in perspective. Analogies are great, especially car analogies, but a small wave of water in my sink is not analogous to the event horizon of a black hole any more than my garbage disposal is analogous to the rest of the black hole.
There are always unforeseen uses of tools, devices and technology. Humans have a natural tendency to find ways to use things that the inventors couldn't imagine. Advanced tool use as 'cavemen' is how we got to where we are today. Not every clever re-purposing of an object requires McGyverism.
Doesn't matter, neither of them should be driving.
I agree, which is why I wondered if it would give a drunk driver a warning. It could be just an extra reminder to someone that they shouldn't be driving. A giant fist coming out of their airbag is my first choice, but we all can't get what we want.
I don't know about you guys but after 10+ years of stagnant wages and fierce competition from India that shows no signs of subsiding, I'm finding a new career path...
Try working for yourself. Many small business need 'part-time, on-site' IT people who are 'generalists'. If you can handle some networking, server admin, hardware & software trouble shooting, etc, you can do very well for yourself.
Someone who knows what they are talking about & what they are doing can make a big difference to a small business. Small businesses talk and word of mouth will land you more work. You may end up with 5 - 10 hours a month here, 6 - 8 hours a month there, etc, etc, but it adds up and you get to control your workload and who you work for (don't like a client then you help them find someone else who is "better suited to their needs"). It pays the bills, gives you a flexible work schedule and gives you opportunities for remote work for you clients, research into new products or technologies, and many other learning opportunities (making you an even more informed and experienced generalist).
The 'success' of Android is good for everyone (several strong competitors in the smartphone OS market push development and innovation) but too many versions and handsets at this young age of Android make the future easy to predict: it will only get worse.
There is going to be a small industry built simply to provide testing for Android devices until either a) Android flavors congeal or b) developers start focusing on specific segments of the Android market.
Because they are stunt-posting these calls to twitter. If they gave a damn about the goals for a police force - not just doing their jobs as they define them - they would make all this information easily accessible all of the time. But, since that sort of disclosure would likely hold them to higher public accountability, they are only doing it for a single day.
If I had a choice between their 'workforce' patrolling the streets and dealing with crime or making 'all that information' publicly available, I'm voting for them to spend my tax dollars dealing with crime rather than publicly displaying the daily grid of shit they deal with. To bastardize an old saying, police work is like making sausage and passing laws, someone needs to keep an eye on it to make sure it's not going astray but I sure don't want to see how it all works.
Report a tasty false alarm or two across town (crime or celeb related), wait for your distraction to hit the tweetisphere and go hit your target while they deal with the crazy crowd control at your false alarm.
That would explain all the UFO sightings... and why some pub south of Manchester has been reportedly eaten by a creature resembling Margaret Thatcher. An ABP has been issued for Godzilla in drag.
If only they had some sort of facility that could house devices that could hold lists of things they could do a better job of keeping track of these types of places. Alas, some day I won't just be a dreamer...
Time to raise my rates! I'm sure my clients are going to be thrilled, but if they took my advice about security they'd only pay for my advice and not pay me repeatedly to delouse their PC's.
Forgive the layman here, but why can't Android simply switch Java platforms as well? Open is Open, no?
Oracle is trying to claim that Dalvik, Android's virtual machine infringes on mobile java patents. Mobile java was not included when Java received it's current "open" licensing.

Bat Boy Involved In Predator Drone Takedown! *
* a former bat boy for the Boston Red Sox was one of the law clerks who made copies of the lawsuit before it was submitted to the MA courts.

nevermiiiiind completely missed the second link to the chart. Rather confusing, that one. What are they trying to show?
That the Samsung Epic is the fastest phone that they tested.

I wonder if this thing will detect the eyes of a drunk driver as someone who is too sleepy?

I don't think so.

conclude this year with a X-mass break.
Is that supposed to be some kind of punny joke?
It's just a subtle reminder to never cross the beams.
Wow, thanks, you finally figured it out. Now, which car would you buy him?
According to the article, anything made before 2002.
Actually, it's just how you look at the sales numbers. If you're wearing your 3-D glasses they look much better.

But how would a city bus line offering Wi-Fi negotiate carriage with every AP on its routes?
And would a bus using this technology in the Netherlands have to register as an ISP?
I thought this was called "How Google Got In Trouble (aka 'HoGGIT')"
What, people want us to pay to access some stuff on the internet? What's next, /. offering subscriptions?
So if I added the company's name to their own black list I could have some fun?? Very interesting ...
Yeah, because THAT is the kind of stuff businesses will block. None of that silly 'do not copy' or 'confidential' stuff.
If they go as far as to block 'do not copy' or 'confidential' I'll just have to snap a pic of the document with my phone.
Does the tattoo on my keister count as a label?
