I laughed at myself when I realized how meh I was when the video was just grey. "I came here to see live video of Earth from space, can you guys get this working, gah! I'm here now, giving you my precious 10 seconds of attention."
After thinking for a second, I give them some slack. I think we might be getting a little blazé at the technical wonders of today. This live feed "doesn't just happen".
It's like offering Slashdot as a compiled zip of all articles ever published. Download the whole lot and then see if there's an article you might want to read. Simple eh? No?
That ad is super annoying. But as an answer to parent, I actually leave ads *on* for slashdot - only for their gesture to let me turn them off. You know the setting up in the corner on slashdot. This alone made me keep them on, to support them.
No, the average user should not have to understand what an administrative user is. No one outside of geekdom cares about different types of users. Compare it to a VCR, would you expect average users to log in as admin to. VCR? No. And computers are going the same route, thet are expected to just work, no fuss.
Maybe Apple just takes pride and a stance not to profit from porn. Maybe they want to be able to not have newspapers label them as "pornkings" after suddenly becoming the top porn retailer (if that would happen).
As far as I can tell the OTP calculators are only issued for business accounts, normal "end user" accounts have minimal provisions.
Most, if not all, banks in Sweden have keypads that generate one-time codes - for "normal" end-users, not just business users. This has ben the case for years. Some have different methods for logging in vs signing transactions. Some require an ATM/VISA/etc card with a chip on it.
My wife saw me print a document the other day by typing "lpr name.pdf" and she made me show her how to do it, because it is way faster than starting an application and clicking your way through a bunch of dialogs.
Not trying to take away from your point, but wouldn't you have to start the Terminal application first, then type in the path to the file, then type "lpr name.pdf" to print it?

And alchemists all over the world draw a sigh of dejection.

Yea, call it what you want AC but Safari was apparently the most secure among the bunch. Like it or not.

So OSX/Safari was the only one standing?

I'm holding my breath to compensate, hoping the thought of all of this goes away as well.
I sighed while reading this, fatigued by the comments of the congressman. Sorry for the extra CO2 guys.
I'd hate to be the one developer responsible for that bug...
That's up for debate, but I'm sure you and most other people would agree that there is some social shame in porn - right or wrong.

eh?
There they go again, degrading the quality of their product, where the competitor already had a greater quality product, at a lower price.
Waiting for Facebook to auto enroll them, give them a timeline and a social graph.
Good, they should put a tax on shelves too. People put stolen goods on shelves as well. Hit 'em where it hurts.
As much as I detest Santorums politics I feel for him and his family. Hoping for the best for his daughter.

mod parent up! great points..
It should be coupled with a timestamp, eg "I'm ok @ 2012-02-28 10:12". Things can happen in a short time in a disaster zone. Good feature nonetheless!
Al Franken supports. I would've never thought.

In the future, all the pretty girls will have flies circling around them. (remote controlled by /. readers et all).
It might actually turn into sign of desirability. More flies == more fly (pun intended).
I wonder if Samsung will sue Apple for producing a device that infringes on their large rectangular display used with a remote control.
Rumor has it this device may not have a remote control (Siri instead) so no fun for Samsung this time either.
