The magazine doesn't look big enough to have a separate owner and editor. I'd suspect it's one employee.

I'm pretty sure you have to be served a subpoena directly.
No, that Google - as they did here - should probably reject ethically suspect apps that are pretty easily deemed malware.
Let me know when syslog defaults to shipping those logs off to a third-party.
And if I trust someone, and that trust winds up violated? It happens.
Anyhow, it's not like Android doesn't warn you - isn't that widely approved "permission list" that it pops up going to tell you it has access to SMS and the like?
If you have access to someone else's phone to install this spyware, you have access to approve the SMS permissions on install. The person being spied on gets no warning.
Finally, I think it's an app that has been marketed truthfully.
It's an app designed to be installed on someone else's phone without their consent.
DLP Mobile also tried to sell the app on Apple's iPhone app store but was rejected.
I doubt that. The iPhone walls off SMS messages from apps. Apple can't have rejected it - you can't write it.
The point of his post is invalid these days. IE is below 50% market share. There is no monopoly in the browser market any more, and even if you got rid of Firefox there'd still be Chromium and Webkit (both open-source) to fill the gap and continue innovating.
OK, what are the Firefox features that Chrome and Safari lack that require massively more RAM and CPU usage?
The argument is that Chromium and Webkit can take over that job, and have major corporate support behind them to boot.
Firefox got spun off the Mozilla Suite because the Suite was so bloated. Firefox then proceeded to get more and more bloated.
This really doesn't make me confident in their ability to make a lean, fast Office suite.
Sure, if we wanted Somali-style warlords running the country.
This dev is more concerned about Minecraft not working...
Mars has gravity, resources in place, an atmosphere to protect from micrometeorites, the ability to go outside more easily (nice psychologically), the opportunity to burrow deep down to protect from radiation, etc.
Colonisation to prevent the death of human civilisation if the Earth gets pegged?
Potential discovery of life/fossils, which would have massive implications for exobiology and evolutionary theory?
A better platform for space telescopes than Earth? (the Moon would be even better, though)
Without life, Biology itself would be impossible.
