Clearly he deserves to be murdered for potential prior crimes for which he wasn't tried, and which he wasn't in the process of committing considering he was carrying iced tea and not burglar's tools. It's good that a psychopath subverted justice and ended a teenager's life because he may have at one point stolen something.
A) How is making high schoolers ashamed of the language they hear from adults every day "higher morality"? B) It's Twitter. If people don't want to read what he has to say they can just not follow him. There aren't a whole lot of ways to accidentally come across "offensive" tweets.
In this case, if they want to avoid piracy then they have the obligation to fix the exploits that are their own fault instead of harming legitimate consumers who paid for their products.
Personally I use it on my desktop as well as on my media center, I keep my desktop in my room and it's nice to be able to watch stuff from bed using a USB remote. It's also got several Android apps (the best being the one made by the XMBC team themselves) so you can access your library and control playback over wifi.
I agree, studies have shown people will commit far less crime if they feel they're being watched in some way (including by unobtrusive methods such as billboards with pictures of eyes on them). Security theater isn't entirely worthless and there are ways of doing it without invading people's privacy.
Not only that, but what do you do if an emergency (severe weather, flooding, etc) knocks the power out and you need to buy supplies? I don't think debit or credit are very useful in that sort of situation.
There have been some incredibly obvious ones on the various shows on USA, Burn Notice and White Collar have each had a few moments where the characters have had a convenient use for things like their car's GPS's voice recognition or the OnStar service (it seems like they're always pushing cars on us). It's kind of disgusting how blatant it is to use a product's features as a plot point instead of just showing the character drinking a refreshing Pepsi or something. Sadly I don't think these ones have been tongue-in-cheek.
He's always had something negative to say about Android, but when the problem is addressed he does nothing to make use of the fixes. There are plenty of other developers who do just fine on Android and manage to not only support their apps but release new versions of them as well. Maybe they're just more talented?
For one, any in-app purchases made will be tied to your account now. I've seen people lose out on DLC-type purchases they'd made because they switched to a new phone, and the developer of the program used a different payment service. Hopefully this will keep that from happening in the future.
He wasn't looking through their databases or anything, he was offering them in-depth details of the errors he was getting. Nobody said he knows the slightest thing about SQL.
Then we can have categories for all the movie genres that don't win awards and nobody will have to feel left out! Picture it, "Best Romantic Comedy", "Best Direct to DVD Action Movie", "Best Teen Fantasy", etc. Maybe we could just give an Oscar to everybody who's upset they didn't win.
Just kidding, that's a terrible idea and you should feel bad for having it.
In many cases it's been a very useful tool for warning others about impending emergencies, or about letting the outside world know what's going on. It may not get you the help you need but it could save others from having to do the same.
By the way, I don't mean that as any sort of troll. It just makes me mad when companies step all over indie game developers (although I guess Rovio could just be considered a larger breed of indie developer) and never credit or acknowledge them, as is clearly the case here.
They stole the idea from a bunch of flash games without innovating and are now raking in unbelievable profits on games, toys, advertising, etc. What do they care if someone pirates something they put barely any effort into?

We all know that's how horror movies start.
The result was negative by a very wide margin, what more do they need to prove?
"An expert claims there's no dog in this room, but until I see a room that does have a dog I just can't trust him."
I... don't? They hear it from their parents, their music, the TV, the internet... it's pretty much inescapable.
P.S. if you want higher standards in schools, spelling might be a good place to start.

Oh, really? Obviously I'd assumed the actor had taken some time off between making millions of dollars on screen to maintain a BSD distro.
I wonder if AMD likes apples.
Yeah, I really could do without all the editorializing. I wish more people would post stories without an agenda behind them.
Specifically, the Pontiac Aztek.

It's against the word "fail" and anyone who uses it.

Probably by suing the shit out of anybody who dares to make a square phone with rounded corners. Who needs innovation when you have lawyers?
Seriously. "Psychics" say a lot of things, but none of them are deserving of headlines.
"I wonder what illegal shapes will emerge."
The idea of an illegal shape is funny to me, but when we're all printing Shub-Niggurath figurines I'm sure I won't be laughing.
