A micro crack occurs.
Atmosphere fills the voids.
The atmosphere liquifies inside the voids.
When the LH is removed, the liquified atmospheric gases are returned to gaseous form.
The change in pressure blows out the foam from the inside, because the liquid air is gasified within the foam crack and has nowhere to go.
Result: sporatic delamination.
Where I come from we have to deal with this all the time. They are called pot-holes!
Here is video of an Airbus crashing into the trees because the autopilot didn't like the landing conditions. IIRC (remember), the pilot's pull-up was ignored because the flight conditions weren't optimum despite an obvious life threatening situation.
If this isn't a software bug, what would you call it? (Maybe the software considered crash modes and this configuration allowed the black box to survive intact.)
Forget recognizing the face. There are too many ways that can be visually reproduced. How about recognizing my ears? That way someone trying to use my phone would have to know what my ear looks like.
Ears, while public, would be examined close-up, and may be harder to reproduce in detail, while photo may be more than good enough to fool a face recognition system.
You have to put the phone to your ear anyway (most of the time). And like other biometric devices, like fingerprint scanners, the identification only has to be 'good enough', not perfect.
(Yes, I have special ears, at least that's what my girlfriend says.)
Am I missing something?
I read the summary to say that Google will essentially do anything they want with our information, and fire employees that don't comply with this policy.
Soooo...
Fire employees who aren't doing everything with the data?
Two points:
One, the Cube crack wasn't a crack, but an occlusion caused by cold plastic coming together during the injection process. (I am a material/manufacturing engineer.)
Two, solve the problem by selling plastic adhesive film like the kind you can get for PDAs.
Or is it a case that Apple people just love to complain/whine and and would rather bitch about a problem expecting someone else to resolve their complaints. (Lamers)

Get your disasters right! (granted we have too many to choose from...)

Step 1: Build for $110
Step 2: Sell for $100
Step 3: Get someone else to pay the difference + margin
Step 4: PROFIT?
I suspect, looking at the photos, that thing is so small that only children will be able to use them.
I like the hand crank, tho'. Always wanted one of those on my computer.
(Quick - somebody trademark something!)
Or are we (thankfully) over with the whole 'X' thing?

All things considered, I don't know if the pilots survived.

I can hit mach 5 for 4 nanometers with a flyswatter!
Pffft!. Hypersonic...
