Apple has enterprise tools to deploy/manage/etc iOS that solve what you’re complaining about. I don’t know how feasible they are to set up for home use though.
I assume you’re drawing an analogy to GMO labeling. The difference is that the whole selling point of Just Mayo is that it’s egg-free. Nobody is being deceived unless they can’t read the label.
I predict they’ll end up changing it to “Just Aioli.” Not as much mass-market recognition, but the people buying this stuff aren’t exactly putting it on baloney and Wonderbread sandwiches anyway.
What fear-mongering? Some people can’t eat eggs. Some people don’t want to eat eggs. Hampton Creek is putting out products for those people. They’re not going on Dr. Oz claiming eggs will give you cancer.
"A system and methodology by which a liquid is placed into a container" is a one-line summary of what the patent is about, like the headline on a news article. It doesn’t mean the patent covers the entire idea of placing liquid into containers. I have no idea how broadly this patent is actually written, but I’m pretty sure it goes into more detail than that. It's a method of doing something, not every method of doing it.
> There is absolutely no act of "inject ink into container" which could possibly have anything to do with a patent.
Huh? Unless you do all your shopping in Amish country, just about every container of anything you buy, ink included, was filled by some patented machine.
I figured the device was "looking around the corner" by extrapolating from visible reflections. A human can easily do that given a properly-placed mirror, even a curved or broken one, but a computer might be able to piece it together from distorted fragments around the room — a shiny doorknob here, a beercan there, a metallic light fixture up above. Sort of reverse raytracing?
Pull back. Wait a minute. Go right. Stop. Enhance 57 to 19. Track 45 left. Stop. Enhance 15 to 23. Gimme a hard copy right there.

How To Fix Twitter

· Score: 1
So don’t follow celebrities or idiots! Problem solved.
I follow people I know personally and want to somewhat stay in touch with (I’m somewhat isolated,) some organizations I’m involved with or interested in, and a smattering of humor accounts. None of the shit that people are complaining about affects me -- I don’t even see it.
Twitter isn't meant for lengthy conversations or breaking news. As long as you don’t try to use the tool for the wrong jobs it works just fine.
Graffiti decals are widely available. Some guys take photos of real train graffiti and print their own, for maximum accuracy. (“Hey, STEEZ doesn’t tag Southern Pacific tank cars! Everyone knows he’s all about the Northeast Corridor.”)
San Jose is the wealthiest metro area in the country. How the hell do you not have enough money for an adequate police force, of all things? (Especially considering that all that wealth is mirrored by a huge increase in homelessness and food stamps, i.e. disaffected poor people with not much left to lose.)
if your criminal activities aren't drawing any attention, your criminal activities aren't harmful to society
Care to elaborate on that leap? By that standard, murder, necrophilia, and cannibalization are okay as long as the victims don’t have any close friends or family, and you do it at night in a secluded location.
When someone uses the phrase “rock star” in a context other than music or energy drinks, it translates to me as “insufferable prima donna.” I don’t want rock stars, I want solid session musicians.
And even with all that AJAX and screen real estate, they still dumbed it down to the point of near-uselessness. Try finding the conditions graphs for the past, even just yesterday. Try finding tide info.
There ought to be an open weather project for people to submit personal weather station feeds to. I would have been happy to contribute to independent Wunderground, but TWC? No way.
Most people, even those with some inkling of concern with privacy, really don't give a shit if a company knows what shows they like. All it means is they might get ads that might interest them instead of ads that are totally irrelevant.
TV preferences aren't medical records or bank statements or Ashley Madison accounts.

I shudder to think what that messageboard would look like...

If something has the word “burger” on the label do you assume it’s ground beef?

Makes you wonder about where hatchet pieces like this came from. And who lit a fire under the FDA's ass to crack down on the definition of "mayo?"

Fuck Lexmark though, just on principle.

Patent law does not prevent you from arranging anything in any configuration you want. It only prevents you from selling the result.

Ah, so you have to cover the whole car, not just the plate.

It's also not illegal in California to put a temporary cover on your license plate when it's not in motion, parked on public or private property.
Do you have a cite for this? It is relevant to my interests.
Since the workforce has significant overlap with the electorate*, yes, society benefits from it having a liberal education beyond vocational training.
* as well as jury pools, automobile drivers... pretty much everyone you have to regularly interact with, really.

Does fn+arrows no longer do pgup, pgdown, home, & end on the newer MacBooks?
The VirtualBox console uses it, I imagine because a guest OS or application might want pgup and pgdown to itself.
