I always wondered why there isn't an 'R'-rated or '18+' indication you can set with your video/picture, so other people can just set an indication in their setting they don't want to see it (or it's on by default), and people younger than 18 (or whatever age depending on the country they live in) shouldn't even be allowed to view the content...
it's BS that you can't 'put away' wearables, you can always turn them off.. It's not like people put away their phone during meetings anyway.. People are more and more distracted by all those mobile devices.. I would propably even go as far as just banning those devices from the workfloor..
That isn't the only problem with outlook.com, loading it on IE10 (windows 7 x64, no additions except tracking protection enabled), it will reload itself after a few seconds, very annoying if you are just typing a message... How hard can it be to f-ing make sure it works.. that's why I hate browser based 'applications', pressing a reload button or accidental 'back' will fubar your current edit..
Because nothing that was said is anything new? We all knew already for a long time that they were gathering information, it all started in the 50's.. You really must have been very naive and been living under a stone if you didn't know this...
And this is yet another good example of how fubarred the stockmarket is today. it's really time to reform the tradingmarket so stuff like this can't happen.. the whole financial crisis is more due to the media and it's reporting than on real financial information...
The biggest problem I have is with them putting them on iTunes store first.. The episodes were paid with public money so there shouldn't be an exclusive deal with one provider.. The episodes should even be available for free at least through the BBC iPlayer/website..
I really don't understand all the f-ing fuzz about DRM being added to the standard, as a developer/company you DON'T have to use the DRM on your site, you CAN use it without having to resort to external components which are not available on many platforms.. Well, if you object to having DRM in the standard, then you should also have to object to anything in the standard that replaces stuff like silverlight and flash.. People who are against putting DRM into the standard are just a bunch of morons.. If DRM works correctly as a user you won't have any problems (you can view/read/listen to the content without any problems), DRM mostly becomes a problem if you want to consume some content without willing to pay.. Go make your own content if you don't want to pay for content, see how long you can keep up with spending money but not getting any back..
It is precise that, Samsung ISN'T an american company, and therefore doesn't get the veto.
It was very clear when Apple got the veto that something fishy was going on, normally Obamah wouldn't have anything to do with it..
Like that's gonna help anything.. You have no certainty the company you are using offshore doesn't have any connections to the NSA or are safe from it (data still has to go from and to those servers)..
uhm, there is nothing wrong with the connectors, maybe you should just take better care of your devices... ofcourse any connector can fail, but mostly it is due inapropriate use..
what big nonsense is the guy talking, there is at least just as much 'malware' in free software as there is in closed, most people just download their stuff from anywhere without checking it's source. Free software seems great, but most of the times it's not as polished as closed software and being able to just fork it so you can change what you like is great if the project already was at it's end, but else you have to keep maintaining it with the original project, and a lot of times the fork just goes dead (or the original project), which ofcourse isn't a big problem if you are a developer yourself, but as a regular user it can be a problem.. There is room for both as there is enough software which is specfic and not available as free software, and you can't tell a developer to make it's software available for free, money needs to come in..
Just stop all this nonsense, if a kid wants to learn to code in elementary/middle school, just let him/her do it in their spare time as a hobby, just like we did decades ago. It's more important for them to learn the stuff we did at school when we were children, as today they seem to try to cram everything into school, even though children learn also much more outside of school now through means of internet and the millions of broadcast media..
it's not necessary to teach them coding at school, why not otherwise teach them to build a house too, or build a nuclear reactor...
yeah right, how many times do those people mis it when the light turns green, it happens so many times it's not funny anymore, i see it happening daily on my way to/from work, and a lot of times it means i have to wait for red light again because some moron wants to whatsapp to his girl/boyfriend he/she's late.. People are getting to dependant and fixed on their mobilephone like their live dependet on it. Just turn your mobile off while driving, or park you car on a parkingspot when you want to use it...
Maybe it's expensive, but it can also gain a lot of wealth in the long run, as goverments have no say over anything anymore. So if you are the first man on mars you can actually claim whole mars as yours in theory especially if it's all done through private funding..
Have you people actually seen the email-conversation between him and facebook? Well if you have, you know HE is just a moron for making it public as he didn't send facebook a step-by-step on how to recreate the bug, all he did was say 'he I can post a message on someonelses wall without being a friend'.. and after facebook asked some details all he did was post a link to a post he made.. the man is a moron, if he's a "security researcher" then he should at least know how to do a proper bug-report.. Facebook get's so many fake bug-reports (with photoshopped images) from people who hope they can get a bounty..
Why should he explain it, as it's fully explained in the full document (just like most media that covers it hasn't read it).. So don't be lazy and just RTFD....
a mini-cloud in every university and medium-sized business is called a local server, we've already got that.. A personal cloud you could run at home, is called a harddrive in your PC, we've already got that... A mobile cloude you could put in you pocket is called a mobilephone/tablet, we've already got that... Just like people call every application an App these days (even though it always have been called that, as App is short for application)... Nothing new, only a new hyped name....
so the problem is the people who showed up with bb-guns and knifes-on-a-stick etc. not the marketingcampaign itself.. Goes to show that people will just do about anything without thinking..
I might even consider signing up, but the biggest problem I have with this so called endevour is the fact they want to do it as a 'big brother' tv-show, having yourself videotaped 24-7.. That's the reason I wouldn't sign up.. I don't mind camera's being on (except in the bedroom/bathroom) so command-center can keep an eye out, but I object to it being broadcast to the dumbwhitted tv-watchers.. Also it being done by a company that has no track-record of even sending a satellite into space is another big problem.. even though they say some space-heavyweights are onboard.. And people telling, 'oh but it's not NASA, how can they even think about space-travel', NASA isn't the only space-institude, also ESA (european space agency) is a big one. But asking money for signing up also seems a lot like a big scam to me..
Another problem with all those 100K people who already signed up, is the fact that they have no idea what they are getting themselves into, I'll bet a lot of them just want to be on TV (the reality-show part of the trip)..
There is one problem, we don't know if it was said before the start of the meeting (or during) that it was not allowed to take pictures, because if it wasn't it's clearly a case of wrongfull termination as the CEO states it's the reason he fired the person..
The whole article is just a big load of crap written by an Apple fanboy.. What innovation? show me some real innovation by apple which wasn't ripped from others..
And the biggest BULL is about hardware requirements, Apple only supports their own limited range devices, so that's something completely different compared to the very VERY WIDE range of configurations Windows Vista had to keep in mind.. So when you are gonna compare iOS7 (which also won't run on all apple devices, and also will have some problems with a few devices, just like ANY iOSx has had before) to an OS on hardware requirements your whole article goes down the toilet... To me, Vista wasn't such a big disaster, Windows 8 is much more of a disaster as with Windows Vista you at least had the possibility to completely configure the look of it (with 3D/transparent options AND you could make it look as ugly as the lame windows 8 desktop) without having to resort to some thirdparty tools..
It's better than having nothing.. It's the first release and with everything (these days, especially on mobile) it does have it's flaws, but most of those are simple fixes..and who can blame MS for providing better support on their own mobile OS as they know it much better, it's not like Google has such a great support of their (few) apps on other mobile OSses..
Give it a few updates and I think the Office for android will be pretty good..
what kind of moron suggest to move away from windows, only snobs would say that. Linux isn't as secure as some people seem to think.. And the problem wasn't Windows, it was firefox.. and in the end the problem is the user him/herself...
This is a blatant expression of the corruption in washington.. ITC already keeps stuff like that in mind and still did come to the ban, but noooo some corrupt politician on the obama administration who is big friends with an Apple executive overruled the decision, what's the f-ing use of the ITC in general then..
