and I dont even have to read the article!

From the article:

Combine that with the problem of data retention, then this is really an issue.

But you win some you lose some. I did not hear the police complaining when they were allowed access to private profiles of people on facebook. Now it is the other way around, and the criminals dont even have to break law doing it.

Aren't they afraid of looting? I am afraid as soon as the locals learn these are not manned, they will start noticing the helicopters and loot the trucks once they are deployed.

I was thinking the same thing. Looks like an overkill for a problem that already has a pretty good solution that one can reach intuitively.

A company with the caliber of On2 to hold patents that do not infringe on h264 and still claim to reach h264 quality is hard to believe.

Video compression is a mature area and you have to fight teeth and nails get your IP in the standard (I attended the VCEG/MPEG standardization meetings for h264, I witnessed the blood first hand). The IP holders are huge companies http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG_LA, and they have very decent research labs.These guys are not fucking around, they do their patent research before fighting to push their IP in.

That sounds like pure fantasy.

MPEG-LA does not seem to know what to do with h264 either. They keep pushing the "end of free license" period. We are safe until 2016 for now I believe. That is about when h265 should be finalized.

I don't really understand why owning 27% of the search market is being shown as a failure. It may be below expectations, but it is still considerable. The search results are more decent then ever and at least google felt threatened enough to honeypot it. BTW I still use Google.

Interestingly it seems /. agrees that a company that made wolfenstein, doom, doom, quake, quake, quake, wolfenstein, doom, quake should not be the one to comment about FPS creativity.

Thanks for the technology, but their gaming experience is still where it was 15 years ago. To top it off, visuals have come a long way since Q1 that it is really hard to sell a game purely based on "pretty" gfx.

You missed the part where he layers sand and makes 3D objects.

Do you have a key for "£" on your keyboard?

i think you totally missed the point.

That statement is purely personal. I still cannot find my way around xcode, I get lost everytime I fire up itunes and ipod wheel still feels awkward to me.

What you say makes sense. But I have heard this excuse from two different flight attendants on different occasions, never thought to ask why they let the book readers read books. Still I am going to believe them. Perhaps electronic devices are more interactive and engaging?

Still you wouldn't have room to turn on your laptop without further endangering people in case of emergency.

How many times do you have to be told that the point is to make sure you pay attention to what is happening around you since take off and landing is when the plane and you are most vulnerable.

how rock band like games were the thing not so long ago? I feel like the same hype is brewing again but this time with mobile games.
