    Are you certain users did not give the app permission to use their twitter account? Nowhere in the article on the dictionary app does it claim they broke out of the sandbox and took control of people's twitter accounts.

    You seem to have a tendency to use completely unrelated links to try and bolster a pretty weak position. Your l0pht link is equally puzzling.

    I don't see them actually claim that anywhere and their paper is not out yet.

    It's also a reminder that slashdot headlines have reached new levels of absurdity.

    Unfortunately there is no objective news today. Every network has an agenda. In all cases, the primary agenda is building and maintaining an audience. Unfortunately, there is not a large constituency of people interested in unbiased reporting.

    Maybe you missed the memo. When it became impossible to prove a temperature increase, the story changed to climate change. Those of us old enough to remember the ice at consensus in the 70s are skeptical. We should be. I am a more active environmental advocate than 99% of the climate change nuts out there.

    There are excellent reasons to reduce air pollution, waste, and water pollution without resorting to bullshit scare tactics. Climate changers are no more useful Han the clowns that scared us into the patriot act.

  8. Re: aren't there laws against monopolistic practic on Verizon Accused of Intentionally Slowing Netflix Video Streaming · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Are you sure? Why is the traffic being routed to Verizon? Because Verizon is the optimal path for that traffic. The bulk of that traffic is gong to Verizon's customers or the customer of Verizon's customers. No one is asking Verizon to do anything for free. There may be some case where Verizon has a shorter path to another provider than Cogent, but that will be a small fraction of the traffic.

    Many of the countries you believe are better have state run networks with no competition. The best have state owned infrastructure where providers compete with equal access.

    The bulb will last more than 15 years. Your arguments are ludicrous.

    Google glass is not a product and probably never will be. Just because Apple does not have people running around with goofy prototypes stuck to their head does not mean they don't exist.

    It was a silly statement. 80% of the people listening to music on their phones don't even use Android. In fact, I imagine iOS has 50% or more of mobile music listening.

    Amazon Started selling their DRM free music within in a week or so of Apple. They both started with the EMI catalog. I imagine it was really the combined pressure of two of the largest music retailers pushing on one distributor.
