Also, from your own source:
Updated 3:51 p.m. PST: Google would only give me a further one-line statement. A spokesman said: "The car was in manual mode at the time. We have confirmed it in our logs."
That's 3:51 pm August 5th, so it was cleared up by the time you got the link.
I'm just as concerned about this, but your post is downright deceptful.

Ken's cancer has just recently begun to spread to his right lymph node but his Oncologist has assured us that this is 80 percent curative if he gets the needed surgery in time.
Unfortunately, his 1100 dollar a month SSI disability disqualifies him for Medicaid care and the local county low-income insurance he was receiving. This leaves us with about 2 weeks to either raise enough money for at least the OR for the surgery (we are hopeful of finding a surgeon to do the work pro bono) or raise enough money for the entire procedure. We've spent hours upon hours researching and contacting the links some of you have provided but they are so limited in scope that 90 percent of them are not helpful at all.
We are looking at two weeks, maybe three before the cancer spreads past the point of surgery being an option. After that, we've been told just to make him as comfortable as possible until he passes. I'm not ready to accept that.
Stupid, this Medicare exclusion. More about the guy, by Steven Vaughan-Nichols of ZDnet fame:
+Ken Starks is a Linux and open-source supporter. He also runs a non-profit that's donated thousands of PCs to low-income households. Now, he needs help to fight cancer. For more on what's happening with him see:
There's a donation page at Indiegogo, or you can do it directly from his blog. They have gathered about $7,700 and just reserving the OR costs about $50,000. Pitch in if you can. Anyway, spread the word.
Thanks for reading. I don't even know the guy; I only learned about it through an unsuccessful Firehose submission and decided to do something.
That's interesting. I won't vouch for Cuban famed health services (I live in Venezuela where they've sent an army of hacks as "payment" for oil), but latin american countries could work. I quoted your suggestion at his blog. If you want, spread the word; more people means better odds.
Thanks a bunch, even though I don't know the guy personally. I only knew about them because it has been posted three times to the Firehose, unsuccessfully
There's a distro named HelioOS, which I think he contributed to. More importantly, it was the name under which he and his buddies refurbish computers and donate them to kids around Austin (it's "Reglue" now). Google 'Ken Starks TX' and you'll see.

You're right; that would strike down the first observation. The main point stands: given that unlocking the BL does not imply overclocking and even that isn't that dangerous, the whole post is somewhat like "Going to Walmart can kill you. Ok, you have to go to the sports aisle and shoot yourself with a BB gun in the right spot".
Back on topic, there are many reasons to unlock the BL (and rooting) other than squeezing MHz: some stock kernels lack features like advanced routing (for VPNs) and swap space. I for one was eager to see the latter in my aged Milestone (aka Droid).
I don't know how this gets rated Insightful and not Troll/Funny, but here goes:
Unlocking the bootloader is not the same, does not require, or is a prerequisite for rooting a device. Just as in a PC, the bootloader controls what kernel gets loaded, mostly by checking a signature. Some bootloaders even allow dual booting.
Unlocking the bootloader has nothing to do with overclocking ("CPU into overdrive")
Overclocking, badly done, will mostly drain your battery very fast. The phone itself will overheat, possibly shortening the lifetime of the battery, but hardly anywhere near enough to make it burst/combust.
You're welcome to provide well-researched counterexamples.
I've been wondering: is it actually possible to store or protect data in such a way that if such an event occurred, data survives and is recoverable in a useful form? Optical and magnetic media would probably be rendered useless by a large enough solar flare, and storing source code/graphics in paper format would be impractical to recover, so Slashdot, short of building a Faraday cage 100 km below the surface of the Moon, how could you protect data to survive a modern day Carrington event?"
So, kactusotp, there you have it: splice it into as many mice / E. coli as needed, release into the wild.
At work I need to block/filter SMS when I'm not on-call, and I need a hotspot/tether function. The options are down to:
Symbian: SMS blockers available, no hotspot, OS has not much of a future. I'm sticking with my crumbling Nokia 6120 classic since it's quite small.
Jailbroken iOS: expensive, not too fond of the apps.
WP7: Has hotspot; SMS/call blocking only on a certain Samsung model.
Android: pretty much any phone running 2.3+.
So, what Android phones can run ICS (I like updated software)? It needs ~1GB RAM to run, but suppose I can do with 768 MB. GSMarena tells me I'm pretty much in big-screen land.
it created significant barriers to the free flow of goods and services
If a government or another 3rd entity is implementing the block, then it's a barrier between Hulu/Amazon and you. If Hulu blocks you for whatever reason, it's just them refusing to serve you.
In the case of ad-supported TV, it kinda doesn't make sense for Hulu to show you ads for stuff you won't buy. Or am I missing something? As for Amazon, it's plainly their loss.
I can't help wondering if RT could get such a candid interview (assuming they ever wanted to) from some ex-KGB. I guess it's up to each country's media to show the other side's dirt.

This is one of those put-your-money-where-your-mouth-is situations.

Even under the best microscope, optical images have an ultimate resolution limit, and this method hits it.
And the linked Wikipedia article quoth:
With green light around 500nm the Abbe limit is 250nm.
That's a bit more than 100,000 dpi. Visible light goes down to 380 nm (~133,000 dpi), so you'll never see anything smaller by optical means.
