No it won't be coming to an ice cream shop near you because no one will eat it here in the US. Had a chance to try it a couple months ago and it's horrid. Even worse than the flavorless rice lagers that generally come out of that area of the world (and the flavorless ones from the US too).
The biggest obstacle standing in the way of promotion in the workplace for a woman is another women. Female bosses hate to see another woman succeed and will do what they can to prevent it from happening.
Years ago I use to take over for our local abuse coordinator at Time Warner when he was out of town. On average I'd say we'd see a couple subpoenas for customer information a week. I can't say that these all lead to lawsuits but some of them did. Normally to get to this point, customers would have been warned a couple times about file sharing and continued to do so. Generally the RIAA, MPAA, or other copyright holder would send a complain to the cable company who would then contact the customer associated with the IP address letting them know that they were caught downloading copyrighted content and to please stop doing so immediately. They generally would get a couple of these notices before you'd see further action where they copyright holder would get a court order to acquire the customer information and doing with it whatever they would (be it filing a lawsuit or otherwise). At that point it was really out of our hands as we couldn't refuse to turn over the customer info when it was court ordered for us to do so.
Either way, they had multiple chances and were obviously being stupid by continuing to use public torrents. These companies go after the low hanging fruit and torrent users are ripe for the picking. Never saw a single complaint where someone was using usenet, IRC, etc. It was always torrents.
I've been working from home for 6 years now. My boss is 2000 miles away and I love it. I get more done working on my own than in an office where people are going to be stopping by every couple minutes to distract me. I don't take a lunch break generally other than to quickly cook something or grab something and head back to my home office or the couch. It also means I generally work longer hours than I would in the office since when 5pm comes, I'm already at home and if I'm into something, I just continue working on it.
This isn't to say that working remotely is for everyone. It takes a great deal of discipline to be able to stay on task when you could be doing things like cooking, cleaning the bathroom, going shopping, watching TV or taking a nap. It's definitely not something for everyone but it has worked great for myself and the rest of my company.
Do people realize that everyone else uses Foxconn too? Microsoft XBOX's, Amazon Kindles, Sony Playstations, Samsung TVs, Nokia phones, and much more are all made by Foxconn too using the same practices. Apple has been the sole target of this outrage and yet they're the only ones that have publicly stated their policy over the working conditions.
Like those that are mad at Apple about their use of Foxconn because of the child labor yet the Kindle, PSP 3, Xbox, Nokia, Samsung, Wii, IBM, Intel, Microsoft and many more use them too. So far Apple has been the only one to address the issue and post a formal statement as to how they handle things when they discover underage labor is being used. These are the same people that get upset about wages in countries like China but you'll be damned if they're going to give up their cheap electronics and other items that are low priced because of it.
Fast Company had an article last month about Kodak saying just that. The only way they're holding on is to sue others. They haven't innovated in years.
The article also talked about how this guy in their labs invented a device that allowed you to take a picture and see it on a TV screen. They looked at it and said, who would want to take a picture and store it digitally? Throw that in the pile with all the other ideas we aren't going to pursue.
Here is the article:

We did a decent amount of reverse DNS setup when I worked for Time Warner Business Class (which in the Minneapolis area became Comcast later on).
At the time of the transition, the Minneapolis area Time Warner Business Class did more sales/service in one month than Comcast Business did nationwide in an entire year. The Comcast guys couldn't believe we provided fiber to the business to those that wanted it with some having 1000Mbit point to point connections or even 1000Mbit internet connections. With time Comcast has now learned and has expanded their business services.
Yup, it's dynamic IPs for residential service but as long as you don't have your modem unplugged for more than 24 hours straight (at which time the lease would expire) then you can keep that same IP for years. At the same time you can upgrade to home based business from Comcast Business for a bit more a month which offers static IPs, ability to host your own servers (you can with residential but aren't suppose to although they'll never know or care) and 24/7/365 trouble calls should you need a tech to come out and fix things.
You can get Comcast Business Class which offers static IPs and allows you to host a server. You can also do the home based business option which isn't much more than normal residential service, has higher speeds, and gives you 24/7/365 trouble calls among other advantages.
DARPA funded SRI in a project called CALO (Cognitive Agent that Learns and Organizes). SRI spun out the project into the company called Siri, which Apple later bought.
It was dorky when we played with it then and it still pretty much is now.
Google also pushed an update for the app the same day it was released and it was approved in a couple hours. Much faster than the typical update approval.
All Intel Macs can boot from USB. They must use the GUID partitioning scheme as shown in the guide to be Intel bootable (APT or Apple Partition Map was used with PowerPC Macs).
When I worked for Comcast (was working for Time Warner and then worked for Comcast for about 1 week after they took over the Minneapolis market) at least 3 years ago, they offered it in the Texas area and a number of other spots. Seems they have added some features but they did offer security system services in a small number of markets.
Why aren't people upset that GPS units log this same information (TomTom, Garmin and in-car units) and likely with a greater deal of accuracy. This information is used in law enforcement investigations and has been for years. Same information, so why isn't is a big deal there?
We've been using this information on all cell phones (not just iPhones) for years for forensics. You're foolish to think that the same information isn't collected by Android, Blackberry and other phones along with your wireless carrier. It's like believing that Google doesn't track searches and click throughs. Its still one of those deals where, as long as you aren't looking at CP or committing financial crime, law enforcement doesn't care about you for the most part. Why do so many people that download a couple songs, movies or some software believe that they're suddenly someone law enforcement cares about?
2 years ago I submitted a story about how forensic products doing just this and it was ignored. It wasn't a big deal then I guess so why should it be now?
You apparently don't know how computer forensics works nor how the legal system works. This is perfectly allowable and happens all the time in the current system. Live forensics is growing and is perfectly admissible under current laws and practices. If you do make changes to the suspect data, you're fine as long as you can show what those changes were (such as showing the registry entries changed/added by inserting a USB drive to run a live forensic tool on the suspect's live system).
When I worked for Time Warner, I'd often process abuse tickets while our Abuse Coordinator was out. It was pretty simple. You'd get the subpoena with the exact time and date of the incident along with the IP address. You'd enter the IP address along with the time and date into the abuse tool and it'd return the account that IP address was associated with at that specific time. It wasn't hard to locate them at all. The IP association data was stored for 2 years or more.
I work for an ISP. In my home, I have a 8Mbit connection and I get 8Mbit. I understand that the services are sold with your speed listed being the max speed you'll get with no guarentee it will happen. Time Warner offers SLAs on their commercial dedicated access connections, both fiber and dedicated access coax (Super Cable Modem as some call it). With those services you pay for say 100Mbit and you get 100Mbit on the nose.
Time Warner has the largest pipe in the midwest. Even if every customer was to download at full speed at the same time they would be using only 60% of the available bandwidth.
If your getting speeds more then 10-20% slower then advertised, call your ISP. They can help. It could be anything from signal level issues, flapping (data collision), CRC errors, and more. Another thing one must take into consideration is the reliability of off-network speed test sites. Just because you have a 5Mbit connection and the speed test site can handle those speeds doesn't mean there isn't a router somewhere between you and the site that's bogged down. Try on-network speed test sites if you can. Time Warner provides one for each division and has a national one for dedicated access connections. I tested a 1Gbit fiber connection using it today and it was right on the dot. I love my Cisco 3550. WankerWeasel@gmail.com

Do No Evil? Every company does the opposite of their motto. Think Different? This Changes Everything? Your World Delivered? Think? Yeah, not really.

This has been an option for some months now.
