Alternatively, one could say that the terrorists have won a lot in Russia, and that’s why it’s not too big of a deal... I don't know for sure, but I'm not going to be so quick to jump to conclusions.
I was going to list other shows... but I realized that I only need to start and stop with Jersey Shore. Reality television is a cheap alternative to actually having to write a script or put any work in except for sitting there with a camera. The only really good shows are on Showtime: Dexter, Weeds, etc.
Along the same lines, this would probably make the issue worse. Based on that tag, people are going to simply assume security and privacy where there is none.
This is actually good news. Anything that helps further the demise of television is a good thing.
Televisions seems to be doing just fine in my opinion. It's putting out a poorer and poorer product and making money hand over fist. Advertisers wouldn't be shelling out the kind of money if people we're watching.
I'm going to take a devil's advocate approach here. You've subscribed to a service and signed some sort of contract. That contract probably stated that you can use the service in a certain predescribed manner. If you use it in any other manner, you are probably in breach of that contract. If you don't like the terms of that contract, there are many different legal options including choosing no options and obtaining televisions shows ad-hoc across the internet for a small fee.
If your cable provider wanted to actually make a few bucks, maybe they'd provide an authenticated way to access your service via the internet... but that would make way too much sense.
Lawyers can't stop the march of the technological progress... but they can sure as hell slow it down. Stopping the sale of devices they deem to be illegal, etc. Big companies slow technological progress until they can figure out a way to turn a profit... and they probably will eventually find a way.
Yeah, I guess it'll be exactly like the app store without all the blatant censorship of "distasteful content". If you want to download malware, go outside android's official app store... I suppose its nice being able to decide.
I'm going to preface this by saying that I don't really know a single person who has this phone, but phantom 3rd party data seems like is would be software installed by the carrier. MS just doesn't want to throw whoever the carrier is under the bus. When I got my Droid phone, there was a bunch of bloatware installed by Verizon. That's just my guess... it could be the NSA or the FBI or NASA for all I know.
This is just one practical application. *Puts on tin foil hat* What about a comparable government system mining for certain terrorism related keywords? I can think of 100's of more dangerous applications to this type of software, and I don’t even have to be the person who has it installed. I find that particularly frightening.
I don't necessarily see the comparison between android locking down its app store to potential malware versus the Apple app store locking down its store because they don't like apps that are in "poor taste". One is clear cut censorship and the other is meant as preventitive security measure.
If it were more culturally or socially relevant, there probably would have been more sources out there. Sounds like a small community of people are upset that nobody took the time to write about their favorite game.
Streaming is slowely taking over their entire model. They have plans that don't even include the disk service. I'm assuming that as more and more people have set top boxs/game consoles, they'll have a better selection. It really isn't that terrible at this point compared to other comparable services.
I think the law is assuming that you've already committed a crime. In other words, if you are caught driving under the influence, they will search your car - they have a good reason to search your car, obtaining evidence, etc. The parrallel is a similar albeit gray area with cell phones [phones] (sorry couldn't help it).
I think I might sit this one out. My thumbs haven't quite recovered from all the ridiculous button mashing fighting in the first one. All I did was press X over and over and over again.
I tend to agree. I feel like Wikileaks should fill in the gaps the main stream media fails to fill in. I could see this going one of two ways, people putting forward more information with the hope of being defended if they are caught, or people putting forward less information because they know what they are doing is illegal (and they will go to jail). Either way, it now greatly depends on the outcome of this trial, which doesn't bode well.
While this is true, Manning didn't hand over classified material to wikileaks in hopes that it wasn't going to be released. He expected it to be released. Maybe he thought he wouldn't get caught... I don't really know.

I liked Inception, but I had difficulty following the plot.
Of course you had trouble following the plot, it's a science fiction movie.
I don't know. The story was posted 1:49PM and you responded at 2:19PM... So I'm going to go with 30 minutes.

I like to play Kinect Sports when I'm driving.

Maybe what he means by "open source" economic model is that he wants state workers to work for free.
Time for them for fork and start their own state.

... so you better start making smarter phones and more rigorous guidelines for app store approval. Problem solved.

they raised my plan! Arg! Damn them and there streaming media that has nowhere near enough titles!
If all you use is the streaming service, they lowered your plan :-D.

This has the upside of ensuring that everyone you text is aware of the importance of privacy.
Unless all they get is garbled text.

I like the idea for one reason - Maximized Screen Space. The entire front of the device will be a multitouch surface.
