It totally should, although until then I think that iiNet's court victory coupled with the un-earthing of the clandestine activities of the record company & US embassy will hamper any cases brought by the recording industry in the near future. Or is that just wishful thinking?

The workers committing suicide in their Chinese factories know what's going on there...

Hahahaha Classic.

I thought so too at first, but most of the tasteless comments have been modded down pretty quickly by the rest of the community. The asshole group isn't representative of the rest of us, they just post quick.

My thoughts exactly! How the hell is flickr data useful unless you know what percentage of all photos taken are uploaded to flickr in the first place? If they actually *could* get that data, and it turned out to be something like 80%, well then that might be different. FTA: "(Admittedly, the number of images on Flickr is about 5% of that on Facebook. It would be interesting to repeat this analysis using Facebook data, but there is no reason to believe the results would be substantially different.)" BS article FTW!

You misspelled mum.

It warms my heart to know I got so far under your skin :)

TL; DR :D

Doesn't your iPhone come with malware from the factory? Why re-invent the wheel? http://apple.slashdot.org/story/11/04/20/1357248/apple-logging-locations-of-all-iphone-users

If you read TFA you'll see it's not actually a manned structure. Confusion understandable given the sloppy title.

If you use a spy, tech stolen. If you use an engineer, structure cap'd.

Also would be interesting to see what China is bidding.

I thought the poetic part was that the German economy was the only one in the Euro where people might actually be able to afford an iPhone/Pad.

I think it might depend on how the company is viewed in the industry. Will you gain some street-cred by releasing it as open-source after your initial advantage is becoming less relevant? Perhaps there is an option to open-source the code after it's been in the wild for some time, and the company has new and better secrets to push their latest products?

You do realise that half the world could die from a virus like this without anybody from America ever being infected, right?
