Maybe the police are trying to charge this guy with more than disorderly conduct. Incitement perhaps? The police don't always tip their hand unless they need to. Sometimes they will see if you will voluntarily give information up, then they don't have to go searching for it. I'd bet someone was hoping Twitter would just cough it up.
You've described some of the more common problems I've witnessed when trying to switch some friends to Linux. In the end, they're still on their Windows and OSX machines.
Until I can get my home setup to print a coupon from coupons.com, Target, and various other coupon sites to our network printer, I can't get my wife off of Windows 7.
I had purchased a Nook e-ink refurb a few months before I received the Fire as a gift. I tried the Fire for reading for a few months and it became obvious that it was much more tiring on the eyes versus the Nook.
The rest of the functionality of the Fire was lacking, as you don't have access to Google Play. It was relatively painless to root and flash, so I went to CM9 (ICS) on it. CM9 is missing hardware acceleration, so I flashed CM7 (Gingerbread). It's fairly functional as a normal tablet. There is quite a bit of developer support on xda-developers.
Well, since the PCpro guy logged right back in to his email, however it was compromised it wasn't with the password reset token.
If it had been the password reset token, they wouldn't know his original password, they'd have changed it to something that only the hacker would know and he wouldn't have been able to log back in like he did.
So yes, it was a coincidence and/or another unknown hack.
It seems much more likely to me that it is more likely that someone who would use a 7 character lower case password for their email account would probably use the same password at a multitude of other websites. He's probably used the same password for years.
I used the same password for nearly 10 years over many MMORPG's (and associated websites) before my Hotmail was hacked. Gmail followed shortly after that. There are an awful lot of machines that my password goes through that could be breached.
I still give points to Gmail though. When it was hacked it had a nice red bolded message informing me of the fact that it had been accessed by an IP that was not in my normal IP range. The only clue I had for my Hotmail was the large amount of sent mail and bouncebacks.
That's what TFA says. The infected machines haven't had the updates installed. That implies that the owners either don't know that they are infected or don't care. I'm leaning towards the former.
With the number of machines that remain, it seems clear also that Mac users aren't using auto updates. What's up with that?

It automatically adjusts the color temp of your monitor to reduce eye strain at night. I suppose it has the side effect of lowering power consumption as well.
On Windows/Mac/Linux and pads.
No, I don't work for these guys nor am I paid by them. It's just that good.
I respond differently depending on who it is I'm responding to. There's the usual site wide formal email. Then there's the technical email to the bossman. There are also the jovial type that go to the close co-workers. I think you're just better off using keywords to look for "problems". If they start to use the work "fuck" or "kill", maybe have a closer look.
As a bonus, since this system is installed on electronic throttle control vehicles, it will soon be trivial for police to be given access to it as well.
It's funny how we can both listen to the same audio, yet arrive at different conclusions.
When I listen to the audio and the dispatcher says "we don't need you to do that", I don't hear "stop following". Assertive and Passive wording is something that is taught to police. To me it sounds more like a suggestion, instead of an order. If he felt in control of the situation (which he obviously did) he could feel free to ignore the dispatchers suggestion.
If you follow the reasoning that the dispatcher's words were a suggestion, then Zimmerman was not chasing anyone. He was simply doing what he thought was safe enough at the time.
He may still be guilty of 2nd degree murder though, even with that distinction.
The only thing I will add is that you can't undo the type of marketing that Apple has used by using logic alone. It is more or less self-sustaining at this point.
I went full circle. I had a e-ink Nook, then my wife bought a Kindle Fire. Reading on the backlit screen is more tiring than reading on the e-ink screen with an external LED light.
The problem with the Nook is that it has rounded edges, so I pretty much need to find some sort of case to put it in that has a light. All the clips I've tried don't attach well, like they would on a book. It should have come with a built in LED light source.
Roger that. I don't own an iProduct, so I couldn't exactly verify all of that. It seems about normal for someone to throw this thing on a charger at 50% and go to sleep. That should get you 100% in under 7 hours on a stock charger. That's not as terrible as some have made it seem.
I'd bet part of the confusion is people charging via the USB port on their computer vs a wall charger.
USB ports on a computer are limited to 500mA, wall chargers are typically around 1000mA, though some I've seen go up to 2000mA.
So, someone who is saying "gee this takes forever" is likely the person who is charging via their PC.
The capacity I have seen listed for the iPad3 is 14000mAh. If you were to do a dead battery to fully charged via PC only, it could take almost 28 hours. (though batteries charging rates are not linear)

That's fine. This is what due process is all about.
Is this the same "anyone" that sends responses back to phishing email and can't figure out how to setup wifi? Yep...this is going to end well.
bahahaha Eric the Half-duplex Bee
There's really nothing in this writeup that hasen't already been covered in most of the articles that have been posted here on /.
Well nothing except some elitism from techspot:

A weapons analogy? C'mon, you're supposed to use cars!
(very good analogy though)

I think I can sum up your argument with this:

My thoughts exactly.

Read two sentences before the one you quoted, right in the summary. They did contact Apple. Apple didn't respond back.
+5 informative indeed...
I agree with this SmallFurryCreature.

Agree 100%. My two children have used our tablets/phones for drawing and other activities. Nothing beats the real thing.

That's a hefty battery.
