Facebook allows you to look at just one group as does Google with circles. Of course, G+ allows people do be in multiple circles, so you can keep people's viewing permissions organized into separate circles and also include a "People I Care About" that you use only for reading other people's posts. Helps clean up the stream even if you have a ton of friends on your list, without removing their ability to read and comment on what you have to say.
It has been reported that Google is in fact preparing Google Games with some sort of integration into Google Plus, which will even go so far as to provide games that use Native Client. In the future, we could have full speed 3d farmville filling up our streams, but I'm very sure there will be an easy way to ignore it (just like there is with Facebook, actually).
The guy asked a "security guard" (never seen one of them at an Apple store... but whatever) if he could take photographs in the store. That is not the same thing as installing spyware, which is essentially what he did.
Secret Service will handle things like credit card fraud, it may be possible they believed he was doing more than just taking photos.
You ever used a Mac? Most Mac software does not use an installer. A.app is just a directory that you drag anywhere you want. Heck, you don't even have to remove it from the disk image to run it.
Uh... he installed hidden software that took pictures every minute and sent them to him, without the permission of the owner. Things like that tend to get you into trouble. Just ask this guy.
It seems half the owners of digital watches cannot tell when their alarm is going off. Or it beeps every time they hit a button or on the hour, or just for the fun of it.
You may hear it ticking if you hold it up to your ear, but not usually.
I have used digital watches, wore the same style of Timex for over a decade, but have left them for the analog world. Analog watches look classy and are generally less distracting, and no noise. I've been complimented for even a basic analog watch which is a little surprising.
I went so far as to buy a stopwatch for the rare situation that needs that kind of timing.
Speculation? People are burning backup media. The gold master has been released to developers. Not much speculation at this point.
The speculation is if it will be possible to buy an optical disc at some point. I would be surprised if it doesn't come out eventually, or maybe they only sell it in areas without Apple stores, or something similar.
The security reasons for using NAT are easily overcome with a real firewall, which at this point is not outside of the processing limits of home routers.
Get rid of NAT and the gateway has to work as a real firewall, that is all. That is not some security nightmare, unless companies do not actually put a worthwhile default firewall policy into the gateway. Things like port forwarding would not be needed, but only allowing connections on specific ports could still be controlled pretty well and locked down by default, the gateway just doesn't forward the traffic through to the internal interface. The upside is you could allow multiple devices to be accessed on the same port, rather than being forced to use different ports as it is today.
If your gateway is working correctly as a router, it should not be broadcasting things like iTunes outside the network anyway.
For your phone bit... a gateway can tell what interface traffic is coming from. If traffic with the correct address is coming from the correct interface, it's a good chance it is an authorized device. If not, then you've probably got bigger problems than someone outside on the internet. If you are speaking of a phone on the external network, it would have to do what any device should have to do with port forwarding today, the phone would have to authenticate to whatever machine it wanted to connect to. It's not like you're giving unfettered access to the entire network just because you remove NAT, if you wanted the phone to have that access then you should use a VPN.
You are correct. The IMAP client will download the email multiple times in multiple folders, and if you delete it from one Gmail will helpfully delete the message from the others rather than just removing that label (as has been my experience). Of course, I don't know how it really could work better than that, because on Gmail when you remove all of the labels (even inbox) it treats it as archived.
From the point of view that people are generally good (I know, lawyers shouldn't be included), I could almost believe he's just an idiot. That is to say, I could almost believe, from his copying of the wording of the letter onto his website, that he believes his wife coined the term Bitcoin and possibly even invented this cryptographic form of currency, and he is now intending to protect this thing she is selling.
Not saying it's true, he could just be some troll, but with the timing I find it at least a tiny bit plausible.
You're making a huge assumption that this is from a military server (hint: these user/passwords didn't come from that NATO server). Just because you see a few.gov and.mil email addresses means nothing. Some people sign up for websites using their military email addresses, just like some people do the same from a corporate email.
I love how they preface the.mil addresses as important people. More likely some random PFC.
This bad coding on Hulu's side exposed user data for other Hulu users, it did nothing bad to Facebook users. You could compare it to Dropbox's mess-up when they allowed you to authenticate with any password.
There is no motive to make this mistake on purpose, because it would give access on your site, it would not affect anyone's Facebook account.
Pretty likely, actually. There are third party DisplayPort cables and dongles even though this port is only used by Apple. I would not be surprised if third parties eventually make cheaper versions of these cables, though the R&D time may slow them down, the technology behind it is Intel, not Apple.
They exist, but people don't care. The US government has some pretty good information on OnGuard Online, written in a simple way that most users should be able to understand, but it's not like they advertise.

You can still do this, you just have to get a pass from the airline and go through security. You can also meet someone arriving.

My analog wristwatch includes a slide rule in the bezel, and I use it regularly.
You sold out. I also realize this is the second time I've replied to one of your comments. I recognized the grilling, and I'm kind of hungry.

You don't have a LAN? The upgrade is a single file. Transfer it to the other computer and upgrade it.
Lenovo also limits you to only one backup of the recovery partition, though it is easy to modify a hidden .ini file to allow another one.

Not all of that is Ubuntu's fault. Try to remove all of Evolution even on Gentoo and you will end up removing a good chunk of gnome as well.

Uh... the military uses the internet. The real internet. someone@navy.mil is not some secret account, those are air gapped for obvious reasons.
You're seeing someone's NIPR email that they used to sign up for some unknown website, and nothing more.
Facebook does act as an OpenID consumer, you can login with OpenID. It is not a provider, that I know of. They provide Facebook Connect instead.
I think you misread.

Light Peak as a name no longer exists. Intel owns the Thunderbolt name, not Apple. Light Peak was the code name for Thunderbolt.
I've seen similar reviews comparing optical to coax S/PDIF, and even gold-plated optical cables vs regular ones.
