Someone just now noticed how Facebook's app works? First run on a phone it steals the contact list - then asks what your privacy preferences are.
I used a phone with a honey pot address book last time I tested that app...
You seem to have the mistaken idea that your Sony TV is yours. You only have a limited use license to use it within the terms of service, changeable at any time, dictated by Sony. Ownership is only for corporations...
More like: If I bought a multi-thousand dollar top of the line TV without advertising financial support, back dooring it into the product after it's too late to return it is a taking. Ad supported products are worth far less.
Yes! I had tons of Sony home theater/stereo/high end CRT (artisan pro-printshop/photographer monitors) and other Sony stuff. Not one thing since, and it every time the competing brand has turned out to be a better choice. 80s/90s innovative Sony is long gone...
AT&T forced Facebook and other apps onto the phone and made them unremoveable as part of a 'security' update. I think they meant 'AT&T Financial security'.
The Pixel with Googlefi does not have as good of a data service. In areas it'll refuse to work. In a few spots I was able to use a manual service switch app that showed it was using a Sprint tower that refused to pass data at all, and switching manually to T-mobile got things going again. The color and viewing angle of the screen are not as good as the Note, which was excellent.
Otherwise though, I love not having to worry about mandatory malware apps or having to deal with custom firmware and being locked out of app stores. I can do those things but consider it a chore.
More like they require gas purchases to pay 30%. And DRM the gas fill, such that the car computer tracks fillups with a toner cartridge like 'tracker' via NFC in the nozzle that authorized the next tank of miles. No 30% payment, and the activates limp mode until you pay a 'reactivation' fee. Maybe they can pretend safety features require a subscription paid per gallon, and put the car in limp mode as a 'safety precaution' because the safety features are disabled.
Hmm, sounds like cars aren't being 'fully monetized' yet...
Back to the lair for some marketing work!
How about find all of the Huawei employees logged and add a few things. Like chatting about the Tienanmen square massacre and that they're organizing a protest about it. In fact, with all the other breaches it'd be fun to add things like that for a random selection of party members. Free Tibet, party takeover plans etc.
New Apple laptop and desktop products will be DRM locked to the Apple app store to en$ure you have the full APPle price experience. $25 billion in revenue doesn't just happen you know.
Yep. You could meet the stated goal by requiring that digs allow paleontologists to extract the fossils, record and study the material surrounding the fossil and measure/study the fossil after removal. All limited to reasonable time spans.
i.e. Require allowing access by paleontologists at their expense provided that they work with reasonable speed (don't slow walk the process deliberately, or starve it for workers). The trade off being the paleontologists do the extraction promptly in exchange for study access. Once the fossils have been studied their scientific value has been extracted. (presumably important examples would be 3d scanned so the originals aren't needed for future comparisons) Time limit the process so that the private owners aren't unduly deprived of the fossils. That way the private owner gets free quality preparation of the fossils in exchange for a reasonable delay so that there isn't incentive to avoid the process.
Especially if they take writings from places like stormfront, then replace all the racial epithets with the names of google properties before posting. Maybe throw a few others in like any news sites that have been critical of 4chan. That way if Google automates cleaning things up the usual Google way, the AI will be keyword trained to nail posts about Google, as it'd be more funny if they start censoring anything about Google's business practices.
Hopefully the googles at 4chan will have waymo fun time.
When will Youtube flag & suspend the Youtube accounts of companies making false DMCA claims? In this case, why wasn't the VOX Youtube account suspended as well?!?!?
You're assuming that the folks who wrote the law didn't intend this outcome. Stifling content that's outside of the big media companie's control may have been exactly the point.
So Yourtube, when will there be a strike system for false flagging? Youtube can't ignore the false claims or they'd lose safe harbor, but they can surely strike the flaggers Youtube account. i.e. flag and suspend VOX on Youtube for the fraudulent flags.
Around that time quality dropped off a steep cliff. I have a Logitech mouse that predates the decline that I use daily at work and I love it. The mice, keyboards and headsets purchased afterwards for myself and my employer had a disastrous failure rate. They've been on my vendor of last resort list since. I don't need products with deliberate failure points.
On the plus side I found I love Sennheiser wired headsets (this one is a PC 360). They cost a bit more, but as they've lasted longer than multiple Logitechs they've been cheaper to own while having much better sound quality. My friend went with a wireless version which he raves about.
Everything great should be credited to Obama, and everything bad is Bush's fault (both repeated unceasingly, esp. the Bush thing)
All of it is tiresome. So is calling out the other guy for being a hypocrite while you're being a hypocrite.
I don't care who started it kids. I'm going to get out the belt if I have to stop this car. Or rather - if you're being a childish partisan I'll discount everything you have to say as you've discredited yourself. I don't need to see more poo flinging.
When I got to 10,000 emails a day I'd finally had it.
Paying for email hosting + domain means unlimited aliases. A custom one for each vendor means I can turn them off when abused and I know who sold my contact info. So when Comcast sells my email address to T-Mobile I know they did it (and they lost a fiber connectivity contract - consequences...). When companies sign you up for marketing emails not matter how apparently placebo options are checked (most recently Overstock.com) I can delete that alias.
I will not unsubscribe when I never subscribed. I will make a server side filter that forwards anything from them to one of their live person email addresses though. They can turn off the spam or not, I won't see it. Why would anyone feel obligated to respond?
Remove insider trader exemptions from members of Congress while you're at it. (and anyone else in the Gov't who might have information)
They've got lots of material insider information just from by knowing future tax and regulatory policy, before you get to any required filings by the company or information surveillance agencies have. (So, do black programs get funded via insider trading based on info from intercepts?)
For all of us, in practice this stacks the deck against at least our 401k mutual fund investments.
And companies that can simply spy on that information. Possibly that can see everything certain handheld devices contain, can get that information without running afoul of the rule. Possibly. But if that were happening, the companies in that position would profit so much they'd be rich cash cows.
Nah, that'd never happen. Apple and Google are struggling financially, right?
Yep. And a 'I got mine' tax that taxes really productive people who aren't rich yet but might get rich so much they can never get rich, while hardly taxing the already rich sounds like the sort of thing people with multiple houses and such would do. Right Bernie?
(Here I'm talking about taxing income, which is not where the rich earn their money, while not taxing places where they do. And not, say, taking away the insider trading exemption for congress. They don't leave office poor for a reason.)
That said, there is lots to validly complain about both parties as they're governing for the competing groups of the very wealthy's benefit not ours. When they seem to, it's to misdirect.

Oh... wait...
But no, I don't think the actresses openly bigoted remarks are a good look, and certainly were intended to be divisive.

6. Implement a fix that re-directs all the revenue to Google while blaming the creator.

Unofficially: We've compromised their networks and watched them do it.
The question is why say we know? Is this public notice actually a warning?
i.e. can these things be blocked by the Great Firewall or do they have official sanction and a pass?

In China, the number of malnourished children is negligible.
Suuure. And the Tiananmen Square protests ended peacefully.
The same was true under Mao. Eventually. After the mass starvation and 50+ million dead there were indeed far fewer malnourished people.
