Can you think of any privacy concerns with this technology?

The author describes a case-work example where he compares an analyzed audio file to ENF data from the power company (?) about the building and can prove it wasn't recorded on the claimed date and there were multiple deletions.

Don't mistake non-paying for no-profit. Those users don't pay cash but they do give google lots of personal data and ad-clicks that makes google money. I would personally rather pay a fee and keep my data private and not see ads.

If google loses "non-paying" customers because of performance issues or outages that they don't know about because there's no effective way to contact them, they also lose money just like a company with paying customers.

"get over it"? why?

Can I be the judge of what kind of UI controls I like instead of Apple deciding for me? This hasn't be a problem with any Windows or Linux app I've ever used or any webpage I've ever visited. I guess I don't confuse easily.

And without those same app store policies holding them back, how long do you think it will be before Android passes Apple's ecosystem?

200,000+ is a lot of apps, but how many of them are "fart apps" or something equally as useful?

The $4B in revenue also sounds like an impressive number, how much of that money is because users had to pay for apps to make up for the lack of flash? And why does it matter to me how much money they've made? Isn't that part of the problem? At the end of the day the app store doesn't exist to serve users, it exists to make Apple as much money as possible, this motivates them to maintain as much control over it as possible no matter what the cost to users or developers is.

I'm eager to "jump on the Android bandwagon" but I have to figure out how to deal with the ETF on my current featureless Motorola phone with Sprint. Apparently replacing a broken phone resets your contract date.

Other limitations Apple puts on their devices come in second. I'm a very technical person. I would be happier having another gadget with Linux on it.

Another way to look at it is, I've been convinced by marketing and countless articles on HN telling me how amazing this new gadget is that I went and bought one.

Now I need to find a place it fits in my life and convince myself it's something I didn't know I needed and that I didn't waste my money.

I've only owned it for a week but I'm sure that a year from now I'll still love it because it's a great product, not because it's new and shiny.

Not a problem, our server room has independent cooling that takes the heat to a unit on the roof. It might have to work a little harder on long weekends but we keep track of our heat budget and this isn't a problem.

A better title: "Amateur high-level wireless traffic analysis of 21 consenting students during a 45 minute class"

I worry that the real "hype" right now is buying into the recent anti-facebook trend.

I fixed it by switching back to NVIDIA.

Why?

They should spend the rest of their life in jail for invading someone's privacy? Is this to protect society or for revenge? Do you feel it's not possible to teach the person why you think their actions were wrong and release them back into society so they can continue to contribute positive things? What if there really was no ill-intent? What if the software was legitimately installed only for the purpose of recovering stolen property and the images that were archived were done so only for that purpose or accidently? Does the person responsible only have to serve a life sentence if they had voyeuristic motivations?

I'm not saying it's appropriate.

I feel like this article is just a fund-raising advertisement for the "Linux Foundation". I wonder what's more valuable to the community, money I give to one organization or time and skills I use to benefit many different applications.

""" Then her diarrhea turned bloody. Her kidneys shut down. Seizures knocked her unconscious. The convulsions grew so relentless that doctors had to put her in a coma for nine weeks. When she emerged, she could no longer walk. The affliction had ravaged her nervous system and left her paralyzed.

Ms. Smith, 22, was found to have a severe form of food-borne illness caused by E. coli, which Minnesota officials traced to the hamburger that her mother had grilled for their Sunday dinner in early fall 2007. """

The whole experiment seams to be about his ego, I wish he tried to gain more insight into other reasons people chose to stay clean enough to not offend their peers with their smell instead of just concluding:

"I felt myself standing apart from the sheep-like masses who had been led to confuse their wants and needs."

0. Once a piece touches another piece, you lose control of it.

1. The weight of one piece can affect the balance of others.

2. If you hold a piece against the side walls, it will stop descending.

3. If you move a piece into the wall and then immediately away from it, you can put it into a slow spin while still being able to flip the piece.

4. You can control the descent speed by tapping the down arrow. After each acceleration, the downward velocity resets when you stop accelerating. If you reduce the speed with which the pieces collide, the already stable pieces will not bounce as much.

5. Getting something really close to a complete horizontal row does not cause the row to disappear. I have not yet achieved an arguably perfect horizontal row.

But if I search for that result, it doesn't find it.

If I search for 12345678 it finds it and you can see 89 before it. Why can't I search for that number?
