Seems like Seagate is merely trying to breathe some last breaths into a dying technology. I cannot fathom the need to have a half gig of storage on a smart phone at this point in the technology, and when it does potentially become necessary flash memory will still be the better option.

Somewhere along the line you were given the incorrect information that the US House and Senate have complete oversight of NSA, when in reality it's more accurately the other way around.

You're in luck! By posting to the thread after moderating it, you get your mod point back!

Are there any projects within the Android realm that can combat this? Given the open nature of the OS, it'd be nice if we could somehow adequately firewall such things.

Perhaps the gunshot triangulation technology from the earlier rhinophant poacher story can be used here as well.

That headline caused the heads of many a troll to explode.

CTU showed this technology like two years ago. Even works on vending machine reflections.

I'd like to believe that someday we will get to a more enlightened part of our evolution and realize that Bradley Manning's actions were the start of a more transparent government, and that the Internet took on the role of government overseer that the media long ago surrendered to the very same government. Maybe then he will be released, pardoned, and seen as the hero that he is.

Changing the puppet doesn't not necessarily change the puppeteer.

I would venture to guess that without the smart phone market taking off the way it has, that we wouldn't see as good of recovery in the software development sector. Thank goodness something came along. Oh, and here's the full article on one page.

I doubt that Microsoft will do much of anything for those early adopters, but check with your place of purchase. Frequently they have a price guarantee that will cover price adjustments both at that store and with competitors.

I know that you didn't ask about which service to choose, but given their age perhaps the long library of older TV shows offered by Hulu might be a better choice. They've got many shows from the 50's that might appeal to them more.

Why did doubling a word to change it's meaning become a thing?

As a long time linux user, I find it perfectly okay for someone to like a Windows product, and say so in public, without fearing that Microsoft is paying shills to post.

So then I guess we should be looking into ways to prevent government agencies from using this against us. They've already proven to be completely incapable of trustworthiness.
