In my opinion one of the last big drivers of "clunky" laptops is the last stages of spin-wheel drive storage. We're just on the edge of switch-overs to flash/other solid state memory, and when that happens we'll have a "tablet" form factor on a "laptop grade" machine.
I don't believe that statement from the MS exec - they can't stand not to put a placeholder entry into every item category. I think that statement was just more marketing, but almost like Reverse-Vaporware.
This post from Paul Thurrott says that MS is toying around with blending Windows 8 & Windows Phone code chunks. Somewhere in there someone will smash together a Windows-Something tablet.
In this context I'd want the rule that says "all such non public / research copies are legal" etc.
I participate in no sharing services, but once I saw those new law drafts kicking around, I started taking steps to really tighten up. It's not 1999 anymore unfortunately.
I'm on the verge of spending some $200 to buy my favorite songs on iTunes, and then the rest are project copies with changed pitch and tempos etc. None are really offered for sharing use. I am busy certifying my computers for compliance for the potential rough standard of 90% copyright compliance - songs, copies of articles are research only, etc.
I updated my glacially moving webpage to also be documented 100% compliant. A tip is the Prelinger Archives are a very low level source of many things, essentially public domain. So I am making backgrounds out of swatches of prelinger snapshots.
I'd prefer they have default options and Advanced Options
The tech crowd is an important and maligned segment - you absolutely need the ability to expand into the Advanced panel to do stuff. But it's okay if it takes two buttons to get there.
I dunno - I trust "Joe in IT" more than that. However, the pointy heads are good at rolling stuff under rugs, so even if it was detected it would be instantly classified.
That's why I ask sharply if the info is actually required, and when they first try to hedge that it is, I begin cancelling my entire sale at which point they grudgingly admit "well, uh, really it's not, my manager just told me to ask".
Oh - I wasn't thinking of the BBC - that incident dates from an earlier time. I am thinking of much more recent examples.
If I recall, on the Baen Library one of the editorials remarked that "it was too much work to fix up out of print novels to bring them back into print vs the expected sales". Also see the music industry (!) - why should anything be out of print in that field ever?
No, then the next story will come through next week that the law saying basically "every copyrighted word or picture in any form is a felony" will go through Congress except it will be real, and we'll be begging for April Fool's day.
If we switch this from single words to whole phrases or sentences, we might save 40 "summary sux" comments at a time, so your useful comment begins just past the MicroShill guys, instead of half way down the page after word finally gets out that the inflammatory wording is totally misleading.
That's the beautiful trap. Companies love to moan about how long tail materials are "too expensive to retain", meaning they're willing for it to vanish forever, but skies alive if you create a college club around it! Copyright terrorists! Sue them!
If some super-lawyer for EFF wants another angle to chip away at the copyright insanity, that might be an angle: get a statement under oath that something is "too costly to maintain", aka the retention value is negative, and then it becomes one of the CC licenses, perhaps Attribution-Only with commercial use allowed. (I don't think anyone wants to pretend that Da Mouse is their invention, they just want to make mashup derivatives.)
To my vague recall that's what started the paper shredder industry - something labeled trash is no longer fully protected property.
Elsewhere I took a strongly worded stand vs a well meaning AC about session cookies, and "left it to my betters to work out the details". You provided one - the mere (rare) existence of the bit set to on itself.
I know about the Panopticlick method, but that felt "too easy" - so let's work on sneakier tricks. Using the principle of the 20-Questions Narrowing Down theme, can they narrow it down to "you" say within four page clicks? Sure, the homepage might not be enough, but there could be 10 ways of rendering the second page, and only "you" trigger a certain sequence by page #4? My point still stands, you can never prove they aren't tracking you. It becomes a social issue now.
In the context of Non-Tracking, the normal logic behind session cookies is not good enough. I'll leave it to my betters to show the proof, but "tracking" is a data-inbound event, so even if that session cookie becomes invalid later, a company sufficiently motivated to make a big show of "Do Not Track" while simultaneously getting trackable inbound info can do it, but it wouldn't all be stored in the cookie, it would be the cookie + other steps.
Basically, it's impossible to prove a company "isn't tracking you" - we're too far down the slippery slope by now. Call it Godel's Revenge. We're stuck with our Fishbowl, so we're thrashing around how to socially deal with it.
Except it doesn't even seem to work for me - see my post above for the apregistry. What good is a method that's so buggy you can't rely on it? What fallacy is that, that they promote a feature yet for ____ % of the population it "just happens" not to work?
Sorry sir, you may cease guessing now, because it is a total lie and doesn't work.

I guess I'm surprised it's not simply offered.
Last I recall the math sequence 'way back in my day' was Algebra 1 - Geometry - Algebra 2 - Trig.
So even if Trig fell off the map Algebra 2 would be senior year.

Hi AC.
In this context I'd want the rule that says "all such non public / research copies are legal" etc.
I participate in no sharing services, but once I saw those new law drafts kicking around, I started taking steps to really tighten up. It's not 1999 anymore unfortunately.
Great answer -
I'm on the verge of spending some $200 to buy my favorite songs on iTunes, and then the rest are project copies with changed pitch and tempos etc. None are really offered for sharing use. I am busy certifying my computers for compliance for the potential rough standard of 90% copyright compliance - songs, copies of articles are research only, etc.
I updated my glacially moving webpage to also be documented 100% compliant. A tip is the Prelinger Archives are a very low level source of many things, essentially public domain. So I am making backgrounds out of swatches of prelinger snapshots.
I'd prefer they have default options and Advanced Options
The tech crowd is an important and maligned segment - you absolutely need the ability to expand into the Advanced panel to do stuff. But it's okay if it takes two buttons to get there.
Can you / someone post the matching clause for the US that demonstrates that format shifting is legal here? I'd like to put that into my files.
I dunno - I trust "Joe in IT" more than that. However, the pointy heads are good at rolling stuff under rugs, so even if it was detected it would be instantly classified.
It's all marketing. They'll go "ban them ban them" ... until Apple makes the iCar and then it will be just fine and dandy!
That's why I ask sharply if the info is actually required, and when they first try to hedge that it is, I begin cancelling my entire sale at which point they grudgingly admit "well, uh, really it's not, my manager just told me to ask".
Oh - I wasn't thinking of the BBC - that incident dates from an earlier time. I am thinking of much more recent examples.

What was William Shatner's reaction?

Nope.

Wanna see how fast that gets taken care of?
Dammit, you're right.
Total failure of search-fu. Maybe I should open a search consulting firm now.
Sorry, I disagree.
Hanlon's Razor belongs to an earlier age. Once the bigwigs discovered how much fun abusive super tracking is, the heuristic hit end of life.
The fact that you posted AC is telling.
Meanwhile viruses are not tigers. Whether Joe's comp is vulnerable has nothing to do with the security status of my machine.
Privacy situations are in the running for the defining issue of this upcoming decade. Call the previous few years a "warmup" phase.
Apps like this go for the "wait, what?" factor. Say you're my "friend" on Facebook, and you post your address, maybe in a "News from Oak St Dayton Ohio" kind of a feed, etc.
