There is a difference between storing "backup your last location read, all of your notes, and bookmarks" so that "you can automatically restore your annotations, bookmarks, and the last location you read by downloading the item from the Manage Your Kindle page on Amazon.com" and using this information without the owners permission for any purpose.

Since this license to reprint exists for books that have not yet been written, I would say there is the ability to have future violations. Google will be free to reprint future books long after this case fades from the headlines, and the authors do not realize they need to opt out.

Next to every song is an "Add" button which for a single credit will add the tune to your personal collection. Credits cost 10 cents and each new customer gets 50 credits for free.
Once a song is added it is accessible from your "My Collection" area where it can be listened to an unlimited number of times.
So you can listen to it online as much as you want for $0.10, you just can't take it with you.
Although keeping the pilots safe is great, the problem enters in when you consider how cheap this makes war. I am not talking about money, but in the cost of US lives (or whoever has this level of technology.) If those in the government can wage a war without worrying about losing the lives of their soldiers, there become less and less reason not to wage a war.
Right now US citizens can say the cost in US lives in Iraq is too high, thus keeping the debate focused on the war. Do you think there would still be this level of debate if all that is at risk (from the US standpoint) is a few R.C. planes or ground vehicles?
I would think the problem is getting the error bars small enough to show those who use Linux. Looking at the comments posted already we are talking around 1-3% (optimistically). Most surveys I have seen have error bars that large. Thus permitting those vendors to discount the survey.
"8. No emoticons on the virtual keyboard: Apple someone stole the emoticons from your virtual keyboard! Seriously, it just seems like an Apple thing to do to include a few emoticons on the virtual keyboard."
You are right in that librarians need to know where the information is stored, and that is a part of what they learn in their master's program. And if you get a decent librarian they will be able to get the information you are looking for if you ask. At least any university librarian who would be at a reference desk can usually find what you need.
However what happens at many universities is that these same librarians are tasked with creating and managing the interface to access the information. This is where I imagine the game playing comes in, as a method of learning the basics of UI design so that a student doesn't get frustrated trying to find what they need. The universities would be better off hiring an expert on computer interface design, but so many feel that anyone can just whip up some webpages and be done with it. A few links here and there and presto the students can get to whatever they need. My wife is an university access services librarian and every at college library she has worked at (3 libraries in two universities) that is exactly what happens. She doesn't know the first thing about UI design (or for that matter even HTML coding). Yet her job in part is to contribute to the design/or create the web pages that are used to get the information. She is stuck designing interfaces for, trying to decide which systems to implement and then create methods of passing information between systems as you move from one to the next to complete your task, and then troubleshooting problems that come up. None of which was covered in her MLS program.
That's well and good but the vast majority of college libraries don't use the Dewey Decimal system, rather the Library of Congress system. Since many high school systems use the Dewey system (At least I think they do still), this can cause some confusion to a freshman at a large university.
However more to the point, university libraries are not just for grabbing a book of a shelf. they are for doing research. The good news is much of the information is availably digitally, the bad news is there is no single database to search. each publisher is pushing there own database with only a few subject engines out there which combines information from multiple databases. Thus the student needs to figure out what information they want, learn what is stored in what database, learn how to navigate the databases to find the information, request materials your library doesn't have, or retrieve the information from a course management system if its a reserve. Each step of the way is a typically a separate system created by a different vendor with no interactions between them. For instance different publishers has separate databases. The end result is confusion on where to get information on top of the old problems of what kind of information the student really wants.
Currently, the librarians are playing catch up on trying to create interfaces which tie all these functions together, so you can access more and more from one location. Wouldn't it be nice for example to be able to look for an article, see your library doesn't have it (without searching again) put in a request for it (without entering a third system) and then getting an email when its available. Or they try to make the transitions between systems transparent so the students don't have to log into each database separately, have to remember what the isbn number of the book, or issue of a journal their article was in.
Most people run out of gas on a weekly basis or so. Running out of disk space (for average users) hardly ever happens. So of course people are more familiar with what to do when they run out of gas. Plus they have been driving for longer and probably grew up watching their parents interact with cars.
When they are trying to make more room on their hard drive, of course they start to remove files they never have touched, Why delete something you made and might need when there are these other files which you never use. Especially when most machines get shipped/issued with tons of extras people don't use and don't want.
Gas nozzles have different shapes and colors to prevent or at least help make sure people don't put the wrong thing in their tank. Good OS's use file permissions and other clear markers to stop people from trashing their system.
Some schools have that sort of program but very few do. There should be more help from professors with getting students into internships for summers, which would provide this experience. I went to a university which had a research focus. Thus, as an undergrad there was not much interaction with professors,(and yes I tried.)
I have since completed my M.S. and saw the amount of time professors needed to spend trying to get grants and publications for tenure, (one of the reasons why I did not continue for a PhD.)
Career centers tend not to be too helpful, from my experience, since they are trying to focus on many different majors and goals, so they tend to give generic advice you can pick up from anywhere. Departments should provide an individual who will work with undergrads to get this connection with the industry. Advisers are a hit or miss method as there is no check to see if they actually can advise.
It really does require both aspects. Unfortunately when I went to school ('93 mech eng) it was strictly book learning with no connection to actual problems. I was sick of just solving differential equations by the time I graduated, thus did not seek an engineering job. A little connection to reality and the like would have kept my interest after graduation. That said, It took awhile, but I eventually came back to engineering and the focus that was used while I was in school, and deeper understanding of the physics permitted me to jump back in after a decade and succeed far more then if it had steered toward a tradesman approach that I see others had.
Nothing in the article seems that advanced. We had a spoon feeding robot for yrs in my grad school lab. The Rumba has been out for a while and the seal seems straight forward.
It is interesting to see how different the robotics field is between the US and Japan. The US focuses on UAV's and others for the defense department/DHS or the space program. While the Japanese focus on human robotic interaction and humanoid robots.
According to blackboxvoting.org's forums, some places send the machines home with the poll workers with the cards installed and protected by a plastic seal. Blackbox also shows how to remove the card without breaking the seal.

You obviously don't live in Indiana where we have to pay a book rental fee. $73 for my first grader, and rising prices as you get older.
