How many Mac owners do you think run their admin account as the personal account. I bet more than a few don't bother with the distinction between user and admin.

The funny part of that is, that is the inverse of how it is now. The post office charges for PO Box rental [0], but delivers to your house for free. Keep in mind that most post offices do not have sufficient PO Box numbers to cover all teh points they currently deliver to.
[0] the exception being those places with insufficient density to justify street/rural delivery. In those places the customers must travel to the post office to collect their mail, and they get the PO Box for free.
Traditional printed mail (flats, letters, etc) will not go away until every person has an iPad (or equivalent) and has broadband. Many many areas of the US are still without broadband access.
There are quite a few locations (including mine) where the remote infrastructure is fractured (for lack of a better term). The remote box out here, a Lucent Mod 5, is quite capable of housing a DSLAM, and I am certainly within a functional distance from the Lucent box (4k-5k feet). The problem is the distance from the Lucent box back to the CO (6 miles) which is on copper T1 circuits. No fiber out here. The ILEC, AT&T Florida, appears to have no interest in replacing the T1 cable with fiber, nor to populate the box with a DSLAM.
There is an ISP that has deployed 2.5GHz WiMax, but I'm on the fringe of the range, plus I have vegetation issues.
When I see a title like the one at the top, I always cringe, because I know full well that saying 'everyone' will get this is hyperbole.
Another article said that the burial at sea was completed by 2 AM EDT (so they presumably were done by 3 PM in Pakistan, about 14 hours after the first tweet).
I fail to see the importance of physically moving the servers. What value is this ? Was the attack an inside job with physical access ?
What that suggests to me, is that the time has arrived for an external organization, one that sells loss-of-business protection against such failures, needs to become involved. Such an organization, should enough cloud customers subscribe to it, would become an influence upon services like AWS. I'm not sure I 'like' this idea, but the premise that a customer is using the cloud service at the whim of whatever the provider decides is best practice needs to be revisited.

convince the major (big box) retailers to provide an access point, so that you can price scan with your smart phone, instead of having to hunt all over the store for a working scanner. places like walmart, target, kmart, bestbuy, etc, etc could all benefit from this.
assuming that Apple wanted to be in that type of business, they could achieve a similar end by buying Frontier/Echostar/DISH. In addition to the satellite assets, they get Frontier's LTE licenses (which cover a very large part, but not all, of CONUS).
Here in Florida, and due to the mild climate, certain species of Oaks will hold their leaves right up to the time they put out fresh buds in the spring. I have a large quantity that need to be raked up and mulched/burned/etc.
silly, but at least it has length going for it
It means that the citizens will now try to book a group-rate 2-day stay on Ibiza, then return to clean things up before the next renter arrives.
Yes, the three words that define the last 10 years (in this context) are: exceptional, entitled, and special. Many people are merely average.
The devaluation of vo-tech schools also contributes to the bubble. Much of the CS technical skill training (like configuring a router, network planning, etc) needs to moved to vocational technical schools. You don't need a 4-year masters degree (nor the student debt) to do basic design and troubleshooting.
While this is capital intensive, they're trying to accomplish something that no private carriers seem to have interest in.
Was anything mentioned about the OS running the servers ? I presume it is an optimized linux, but who knows.
AT&T didn't buy Cingular per se. In late 2006 AT&T and Bellsouth each owned 50% of Cingular. AT&T got their 50% ownership via SBC. AT&T became sole owner of Cingular by acquiring Bellsouth. That deal closed about Dec 30, 2006 (after many delays getting approval from the FCC). The original iPhone was announced by Apple on January 9, 2007.
Based on the auction maps, T-Mobile USA had virtually no LTE/700 spectrum space. So AT&T acquiring T-Mo should not change the mix on LTE/700.
The wild card is Frontier, which won the auction for the 'E' block for a large part of the US CONUS. Frontier is somehow interconnected with Dish/Echostar. See the maps here ..
In this case, various street turn-by-turn GPS based systems (for locations in JP) would now be off by 2.4m (assuming the article is accurate). Likewise the ground coordinates for runways would be shifted slightly (if I'm following this correctly).
As time went on, things got better. Codewarrior by Think appeared, documentation was distributed on CDROM, and the annual dev program dropped to $400.
The $99/yr, or the $4.99, is a pittance. Seriously.
