I checked out the article and website, but there are not pictures of parts printed with the system. Was there no proof-of-concept, just a few photoshopped or empty shells made for these product images? On the other hand, it does look nice, although with 3D Printing looks don't matter that much.
The W530 is "mandatory" with the tech side of our business, but has a good reputation with them- they like it. I just ordered more T530s to deploy to our Sales, replacing aging T61ps. We'll see what they say. We have one ThinkPad Edge, and that's the only one we'll ever buy.
For my use, I've liked the W530, but I don't use a laptop every day.
We started with the T61p, then W500, W510, W520, and now W530 at work, and that line has done well for us. The switchable graphics in the W500 sucked- we ended up giving that to an office worker, and used the T61ps for engineers. We also deployed a T530 recently, and it was still built in the "traditional" style.
We purposely avoid the "consumer" style ThinkPads, and the clit mouse is a must.
It makes me wonder, reading some of those reviews, how HP can claim they didn't know that Autonomy wasn't worth $10 billion. The reviews go back years, and in general would convince a prospective employee to think twice.
The problem isn't whether or not the PS4 can play used games- it is whether you can get the used game onto the console in the first place, and if the game publisher's DRM allows you to play the game.
the Newspaper owners demonstrate why they should not own Newspapers. They lose their cool and react in hate and threats. People who are that uncontrolled can't be trusted to operate a Newspaper under stress or for the right reason. They should have their Newspapers taken away until the grow up. The Gun Owners published what was on public record, so the Newspaper owners try to intimidate the Gun Owners - threaten death and violence- for publishing something they didn't like. but is readily available.

Fixed that for you... it works both ways here.
TVShack hosted links. See here for more information. All TVShack did was create a one-stop source for links to content, and that is what pissed off Hollywood / the US.
Hollywood doesn't spend all their money making shows, and shouldn't kill people for it.
Anyone can "rip off" (AKA "fork") Libre Office and sell it for cash- they just need to make the source code of the fork available. That's part of the freedom of the LGPL.
I think part of the problem here is you know enough to be dangerous, but not enough to make an informed decision- just like the type of people in Goverment / Hollywood who start this crap. If TVShack hosted content, then prosecute. If not, then pass a law against linking to copyrighted content and prosecute if TVShack is still in business at that time.
While it may be demeaning to the Civil Engineer, it does make the management of the janitor feel like they are not demeaning the janitor. "sanitation Engineer" in the sense of janitors is just to make others feel good, not the janitor.
Horses are a truly renewable resource- when one wears out, sell it for meat in a foreign country (or maybe our own some day), and buy a new one. Add a buggy, and a whip to go fast, and you are green.
On the one hand, Apple has been working hard to secure supplies from other manufacturers and therefore decrease its reliance on Samsung. On the other, Apple is well-known for demanding and pushing lower pricing, meaning it just doesn't make business sense anymore for Samsung to keep supplying Apple with displays."
On my third hand, Apple and Samsung have been suing the piss out of one another, and that is beginning to strain other business relationships.
Stupid talking point for dumb people, who don't realize that in real life, a crime can't be solve in 40 minutes, like on CSI: Miami.
It took me less than a minute to realize a coordinated attack on an embassy is not "spontaneous". If anything, it should be easier to determine the Embassy attack was "terrorism" (or at least coordinated and planned) than a Chinese hacker spearfished a certain person on a certain system at a certain time. Just because you stick your head in the sand and ignore warning signs of attack and indicators of planning, it doesn't mean the attack was spontaneous. Even during deployment in Iraq, I saw sugarcoating of events... I see through that bullshit. The Embassy attack was planned, plain and simple. It was well executed. A mob doesn't have that coordination.

That is the reason the article uses the word "might"... they are expecting the world to end this December, but in the unlikely chance the revered and more-advanced-than-us Mayans were wrong, we could see the comet.
The United States was embarrassed by WikiLeaks, and they are looking to "fix" that. The problem is, they can't take any of it back. This is all reactionary, and not real rational. If anything, they need to review how/why Bradley Manning had access to the State Department cables, since it doesn't make sense Manning would have had that access in the first place (just because people have a security clearance doesn't mean they have a need-to-know- and the information system should enforce that). They need to put blocks in place to prevent future problems.
The US can't change the past this early- they need to wait a long time to spin this (probably a couple generations). Punishing WikiLeaks won't accomplish much in this case, because the next time a leak happens another proxy will be used. They are trying to punish Assange, as they punished Manning, to deter future "leak" hosts. It won't work- while the US can control the military personnel and their actions, they can't change the rest of the world.
The US is acting like a child- "I told Timmy a secret, and he told Jeff, and Jeff told the rest of the school. I'm no longer going to be Timmy's friend, and I'll tell the teacher to suspend Jeff. That way, the school will know not to tell my secrets." It doesn't work- everyone knows, and you can't wipe the world's memory with legislation or prison.
In order for this to work, do you have to have the plugin loaded? There is an image transferred to the computer- it can be copied. Hell, it has to be copied in order to be viewed.
Yea, sure. But presumably anyone can buy it (I didn't read the article for obvious reasons)
You also need to realize... "law enforcement" is what it is being use for. Just because a "law" seems unjust to us doesn't make it less legal in another place. Dissidents are breaking their government's law, and as such, the software is only being use for "law enforcement".
I don't agree with the abuse of this software, and it should be tightly regulated. However, the "law is in the eye of the beholder" (or pocketbooks of the rich), and it is that view that allows FinSpy's developers to sleep at night. Those Syrian Dissidents are breaking the law- how dare they use a computer for it!
Just had an idea: if enough peoples' credit scores are run into the ground by something like this, that means those people won't be able to go into debt even if they wanted to. It also means the banks wouldn't lend them money even if they wanted to. That means banks will end up unable to lend unless they go the subprime route (and they don't know this time who really is subprime with everybody in the ratings gutter). They'd have to fix their systems just to be able to do business. I kind of like that outcome. Too bad this has to happen for people to fix their stuff.
That's about as good as my uncle's idea that if every Veteran were to apply for disability it would make war too costly... it isn't realistic. The rules would be changed to ensure the banks stay in business (including lowering credit score requirements or modifying the metrics), and in the end the consumers would still be hurt. There is big money to be made in banking (for both banks and politicians)- just like there is big money to be made in war.

Just shoot your hard drives. That's what Adam Lanza did, and all the media reported he "left no online trace".

A few problems with your post:
I think part of the problem here is you know enough to be dangerous, but not enough to make an informed decision- just like the type of people in Goverment / Hollywood who start this crap. If TVShack hosted content, then prosecute. If not, then pass a law against linking to copyrighted content and prosecute if TVShack is still in business at that time.

The answer is a single walled garden.
Just one iDevice? I expect that someone who feels that a walled garden is the way to go would own at least 3 iDevices.
Off-topic but interesting.

Are you trying to say that the lawyer fees will be a billion dollars?
You're right- the lawyers will charge 2 billion dollars.
