I probably have this gene. I doubt they'll be able to find a cure for it. Even if they did, I'm sure I wouldn't be able to afford it. There'll probably be some horrible side effects, too—there always are. Bummer...
The Guardian article about NSA's XKeyscore shows that they sweep up referrer information from general internet traffic, which includes the Google search terms. So they don't need to see your actual Google activity when they can see where you go from there.
If only the NSA would let us join their social network we'd live in a safer world.
Good news! You can indeed join the NSA's social network. In fact you probably already have!
The NSA's PRISM social network works on practically any platform, on any device, even old landline phones! It integrates seamlessly with your email, SMS, and phone experience. PRISM auto-populates your contact list so there's no need to manually find and add your friends. Their strict privacy policy is the best in the industry — your personal data will never be sold or given to third party organizations or individuals, even you! Only the NSA and their direct partners have access to your information. To join, just pick up your phone and call someone, anyone!
I bought my current laptop from the Microsoft Store and it came with the Signature setup. It did have a very minimal set of third-party programs (mostly driver-related utilities), but Microsoft added a bunch of their Bing and Windows Live stuff. I suppose Microsoft doesn't think any of their own software is crap, but I'm sure Norton doesn't either.
Also, it makes more sense for them to keep a 4:3 display for a tablet since it's pretty close to 8.5x11 proportions in portrait mode, vs. a 16:10 display which is more like 8.5x14.
I actually prefer the Windows trackpad setup *because* you can scroll with one finger, or rather, one thumb. I normally use the trackpad with my thumb, so my hands never have to leave the keyboard. It's so much faster to work this way, even compared to a mouse. If you closely, you'll notice that most PC laptops have the trackpad centered under the alphabetical area of the keyboard specifically for this reason. Macbooks have the trackpad centered on the chassis, which makes it awkward to reach with your thumb. And i don't seem to have the coordination needed to scroll with two thumbs, either.
I still don't get it. Who's going to pay the programmers? If it's the art (the story, the characters, the level designs, etc.) that brings in the money, why should Valve have to pay for the programmers while Company #2 only needs to hire writers and artists?
Ah, right, they can also make money from providing servers for the multiplayer service. What if it's not a multiplayer kind of game? What if the price point for the service can barely pay for supporting the service itself?
If I write a kick-ass word processor, should I make sure I've also got some books I'd like to write to help pay the bills? Wait, I forgot, there's that whole copyright issue that people feel so strongly about as well...
I do see how Linux works, and how it has come such a long way *because* it's Free, but I can't see how it can be economically feasible to apply this to all types of software development.
I own one, and I'd have to say it's a waste of money at current prices. If you can't see yourself drawing, taking notes, or marking up documents, then the pen is pretty much just a glorified mouse. (In which case, it works equally well under Windows or Linux.)
However, using a pen is so intuitive, even for basic desktop navigation, that it's almost painful to go back to using a mouse.
It's almost like going back to vi after using emacs. Oh wait, nevermind...
It's more like the Koreans arrive one at a time and sit down at your table and join your discussion, speaking English. Then when enough of them have joined the group, they all start speaking Korean, and the non-Korean speakers get left out of the conversation.
At this point, one group should move to a new table, but which group?
If the non-Korean speakers start a new table, and the whole thing happens all over again, what next?
Gelato won't be doing real-time hardware rendering the way you would normally use OpenGL for. It seeks to use the processing power of the GPU for calculations that would otherwise be done by the CPU. The goal here isn't fast, real-time output, but rather high-quality film-res output that can still take hours to render, so theoretically it's designed to give consistent results across all cards that support it.

So... they should disable all plugins like Java and Flash and not let the user authorize anything? That would never work.

It has come to this.

Tresorit is another Dropbox clone with client-side encryption. I couldn't find any information about it beyond the marketing materials though.

I think "began to cartwheel" is not a bad description. It's pretty incredible so many people walked away.
Isn't this similar to the 3D Sweep Panorama feature that has been available in some Sony cameras and smartphones since 2010?

Why? They'll all be the same.
New Zealand isn't part of the U.S., dumbass. It's part of Australia. I swear, they don't teach kids here in America anything these days...

Gee, that's helpful.

Hmmm... There's something strange about seeing "unlicensed" and "access" used in the same phrase without the word "illegal" somewhere nearby...

I think this really means, "We want to encourage our fans to give us more money."I own one, and I'd have to say it's a waste of money at current prices.
