It takes people who know about technology to spot the ways a technology can be abused.
You know, I'm sick and tired of all these articles about "studies" proving this and proving that, where that "study" refers to a fucking poll! That is NOT science, that is not a study, that is not a good way to draw conclusions. Period.
Let's also ban talking to your passengers and thinking about food while you drive.
They way I see it, it's still possible for parents to educate their teens in any way they see fit, for if they want to allow their son/daughter to play after midnight, all they have to do is create an account with the parents' names on it.
I think this law is only providing a good tool for parents to control their children's addiction. Of course, if it's as simple as creating an account using your parents' info (without them requiring to sign up on anything), then the whole thing is kindda useless, but the article doesn't say.
I find it hard to blame Apple for this problem when parents are giving their unsupervised children an iDevice with credit card information.
It's a good thing they backed away. Anonymous usually attacks organizations that are somewhat bound by law and fear of PR disasters, so their retaliation is quite limited. Drug cartels care for neither of them. That's why being a reporter in Mexico is a very risky thing to do.
Had they gone ahead with their attacks, they could have unleashed hell for all bloggers in Mexico. A lot of blood could be in their hands.
Or the gas tank and it doesn't explode.
I know, completely off topic, but I want to mention that the mythbusters busted that myth. Gas tanks don't explode when you shoot them.
and core gamers far more likely to continue happily playing on two-, three- or even four-year-old PCs than they were in the past....
What? People played starcraft for ten years! What about Diablo 2? Warcraft 3? Age of Empires? All these have in common two things: First, they're from related genres, which just comes to show my ignorance on other genres. Second, they have really strong multiplayer, which adds replayability far beyond that provided by a good story.
