It's not new. Here in Oregon (and in most states) voter registration is public record. Got a name? They'll look it up for you on the phone for free. DMV records are public, too: it's a bit spendy to buy them one at a time but surprisingly cheap to buy them all in machine readable formats. (Wonder how that mechanic knows you have a Honda to send you the "We specialize in Honda repairs!" flier? They bought a list from the DMV of all registered Honda owners...)

The local county will gladly sell a list of all properties, their assessed and real values, owners, square footage, number of bedrooms/baths, year built, etc.

None of this is new: it goes back for decades -- it's just easier to sort through now.

Yes, it seems problematic for privacy: on the flip side, when CA changed it's laws after Rebecca Schaeffer was killed (a stalker found her home address through DMV records), a lawyer friend of mine complained about how hard it was to find people in CA to send notifications of recovered property. The DMV would no longer give out addresses, so they had to jump through hoops to demonstrate a compelling legal need for that information.

Voter registration is public because of a need to verify the validity of the election rolls: think you have fraudulent voters in your district, you're empowered to wade through the data and look. (And not to mention every party wants to be able to get the a list of the self-selected members... if you claim to be a Democrat, the Democrats want to add you to their literature and 'get out the vote' drives...)

Nothing new at all... only the correlation of data is new, and that's not all that new: there was a guy busted here 20 years ago because he combined the list of "cars owned by women" with voter registrations looking for single women to send mail to. He was only busted because he happened to also work for a politician and didn't pay for the lists.

Wrong. Droid, Droid 2, Droid X from Motorola are all on 2.2.

HTC has several 2.2 Phones (Incredible, Evo 4G, Desire)

Your information is dated.

You left out FFX-2. So your total is inaccurate.

Methinks you're guessing there unless you know the future.

What makes you believe MS is not evil?

The actions of MS are what make MS evil: not the actions of others.

Being unprofitable is not the same as being a non-profit.

Ugh, if they have buzzwords on their resume, shoot them.

Using buzzwords is a cover for lack of actual experience.

Right, and the "custom 1GHz Apple A4 chip" uses an ARM core....

Citation for this?

I've only seen D&H with legal threats (and since they didn't ship the fakes in question, it's very understandable that they are upset with the "fact checking" that wasn't done).

Your link says that D&H, not Newegg threatened legal action.

Considering that D&H did not sell the fakes to Newegg, well, they are justifiably upset that people are wrongfully blaming them.

IANAL, so I don't know if they have an actionable complaint, but your link doesn't show a Newegg legal threat, and, again, D&H is understandably pissed off that they were blamed when they had nothing to do with it.

I'll third this.

I have SB2's in the living room and bedroom, a Boom that gets moved around, a Duet in the Office and Radio at work.

All sharing from the same library. Great WAF.

One of the best purchases in my life was my initial SB2, which is why I keep expanding the player count.

And, yes, they can sync.. or not: each player is capable of playing its own stream so if you want one thing in the living room and another in the bedroom that's fine.

Not happening here in Oregon, either.

CBS Records that published Michael Jackson's Off the Wall is NOT the same company as CBS records that published the NCIS soundtrsck.

RIAARader's database does not know this.

CBS sold off their recording labels 20 some years ago.

CBS Records was "resurrected" to sell TV show soundtracks... specifically NCIS.

It has no relation at all to Columbia or CBS/EPIC etc etc. NONE.

So your link to RIAARadar points out mostly records owned by Sony, not CBS...
