But, it starts with policy and process. Our organization had a breach and they jumped right to the technology before making sure they had the policy right and getting technology to enable that policy. So, instead of having a tiered risk model for information, they carpet-bombed the enterprise and locked everything down. Productivity has probably taken a 40% hit.
They need to break free of their corporate mentality and market this thing to the general public, not just their loyal BB users.
...or they could compete in the tablet space where no one else is: the enterprise. I would love to see someone take the paperless office seriously. Developing an application suite to help people do all the things they do with paper in the office on a tablet. There are some settings where writing an annotating is preferred over typing. If I were BB, I'd go after that user experience in the office. They should be thinking of all the reasons people still need to print stuff or write on paper (and lose it), and come up with an alternate experience on the tablet that is better. Healthcare could be a big opportunity here.
here's another one: poor execution of the "extra features." I've yet to see a bonus feature or "game" on a blueray release that was both entertaining but not available on DVD. Half the time that crap never works anyway.
If you ability to reason is so broken to interpret my comment as "government is the only thing keeping people from dying from salmonella poisoning" you're probably not working at all. The point is that we take a lot of things for granted that the government does through regulation to promote transparency in commerce (like letting consumers know that the meat packing plant they buy from has been inspected by the USDA and is safe) - which actually improves free market conditions. Good regulation leads to better capitalism by promoting the conditions for perfect competition (like closing the information gap between buyers and sellers).
It's time for change and since one man, who promised to bring it, couldn't. It's time for 300+ million of us to.
He did not promise to bring it. He urged us to be a part of it. Our response - elect a bunch of right-wing lunatics that held the rest of our country hostage over their ideals. We have ourselves to blame. This is who we put in office. It's a reflection of ourselves.
(what? you slept through your high school economics where they explained that deficit spending is the very definition of inflation?)
Might want to revisit the chapters on Money Supply and Money Creation. The financial meltdown and massive loan defaults essentially vaporized money supply (translation: much of the collateral capital on banks' books related to housing prices didn't actually exist).The various economic stimuli unleashed in the last few years were used to offset this reduction in money supply and prevent deflation. Think if the stimulus as making up insane for past inflation in some sectors of the economy.
Furthermore, the comments from friends are not on your computer with the source file. While most are probably banal, I'm sure some of the jokes, banter, memories, etc. in the pics' comments have some archival value to the owner of the account.
The sad thing is this was not some big brother conspiracy. This policy was inspired by pure laziness -- a cheap way to do a background check. Instead of doing the work to interview, friends, colleagues, and employers to ensure the applicant has no gang affiliations, they used FB as a pre-screener for applicants.
No, these systems aren't designed to "save lives". These systems are designed to project power more efficiently, and the purpose of that is to impose commercial interests over nations that would not otherwise chosen to accept those at the terms they do when pressed.
The "saving lives" line is how they are being sold to the more conscientious of your population, but it is just that.
As I pointed out to you upthread, US is using advanced weaponry on citizens of other countries even when there is no war, just for intimidation.
Bitch all you want, but the US puts a lot more effort into avoiding civilian casualties than the insurgents. Blowing up a Mosque leaves no question as to motive: Kill as many innocent people as possible in a very public, "F You" kind of way.
Cost savings may not be the correct metric. There is a larger question: "What is the acceptable quality level for this product (and does our development model allow us to achieve this level of quality)?" Improving the quality of your product may very well cost you more money. If your current mode of doing things prevents you from meeting your organization's quality standard, it's time to have conversations about investing rather than saving.
Educate yourself. Sometime after Pulitzer and before Murdoch, news outlets put great effort towards reporting objective news (admittedly, they didn't always succeed). Bias was reserved for the editorial pages.
The press wants to be the SOLE "Decider" of what the people get to see.
That's right. The writer and editor decide what get's published - it's what they do. No source would ever talk to a reporter if they knew everything they said or wrote would be published. WIRED is a private institution. It owns the information for which it invests heavily to acquire. If you don't like it, don't read WIRED and boycott their advertisers, or hit the street and do your own f'ing reporting.
If you want to complain, complain about how the comment is not supported by the article. In it, Wired or its staff utterly fail to take a stance on Assange's actions at all...
Who says Wired needs to have a stance on the matter at all? This might be before your time, but journalism used to be about telling a story, not selling an opinion.
Yes, because as a fan a sane reaction to a report is arranging a flyover and aerial photography of the site involved... really it is, please keep telling yourself that.
Perfectly sane if you are a financial analyst or trading/holding a bunch of AAPL and want to get the scoop on the next product offering... or if you are a real estate agent trying to get some publicity.
Humans are the weakest link. Humans want to exploit dominate and win against other humans. That goes double for the ones that already have obtained power and control.
Apparently Skynet is still in its angry teen years. We are safe for now...
It's easier to control companies. Just don't purchase their services.
Good lord. RTFM before you start spreading delusions of consumer power. Perfect Competition is more of a theory than an existing market structure -- which, btw, don't exist without significant regulation (e.g. stock or commodities markets).

Palestineans paying? Not really. They are funded by the EU.
Israelis paying? Not really. They are funded by the US.

Eat salmonella-tainted meat. Die.
Nobody goes there. It's too crowded.
That's how I use it. I follow news sites and columnists, and I never tweet. So, these stats reflect my personal use of the service.

Now assume, like GS is telling their marks erm... clients, that net income will grow 40% a year.

How is this better than a web-based news source, even a paywalled one?
