The title of the original article says that these exoskeletons may soon become like bicycles. I doubt that and I'm sure that most governments will outlaw them. Whoever wears them could pose a serious threat to the people around him/her and why would anyone wear one for show if not for work (like construction) or fighting (which is illegal) ?

Well, someone finally someone is doing something about it. I can't even remember how many hacked computers I got my hands on and I could clearly see the spam bots / irc bots processes, who controls them, how they are controlled, etc, but nobody would help me bring down the whole network. I've sent countless emails to companies who had their computer hacked, their ISPs and about 90% of them got replies from postmaster@ and the other 10% didn't get any reply. I sent logs and all the information they needed to track down the "mastermind" behind the bots but nothing ever happened.

DON'T do it, seriously, I hate having the tabs on the titlebar. If they go with the tabs on top and no titlebar, I'll switch to Opera.

Do you have anything at all to sustain that statement?

What about calling from another country? I'm from Europe, but I've heard that the telemarketers solved most of their "problems" by simply using call centers from other countries. They haven't done anything, except outlawing robocalls from US telemarketers to US residents. One country down, 202 to go.

That's easy: I didn't RTFA and neither did the mods :)

I've recently heard about a concept called single point of failure, maybe you should look into it. If anything goes wrong and Google goes down with its malware list or they simply choose to block IE, we'll be completely defenseless.

Ever heard of genetic engineering? When they run out of species, they'll just create some more with iGod (TM).

AFAIK, it's considered parking if it takes longer than 5 minutes. At least in my country: If you stop the car, it's considered a stop. If you keep it in the same place for more than 5 minutes, it's considered a halt and if you halt in a parking place, it's considered parking. We have the same situation here, you have to buy tickets and put them in your window and if the police wants to prove you've parked, they have to have at least 5 minutes of footage of your car not moving while other things are moving around it. The question is: what do you do if it takes you more than 5 minutes? Now, in that case, you can object by proving that you didn't have enough time and you should win the case and that would get you rid of the fine... so the actual question is: who pays you for the time you spent proving you were innocent? The classic question in democracy.

That's just an assumption and has no relation with the rest of the summary.

Such as copyrighted material which is legally downloadable in some parts of the world but not in the US?

I don't want to turn this into another discussion about copyright, but what happened with TPB is the answer to your question.

Look at what happened with OpenID.

Replying to myself, with additional information for the OP: And how long have we heard about this? We're already so used to Windows exploits that we don't even care much about them...

Of course we'd never hear the end of it, because we paid a shitload of money for a system that would be vulnerable for months until MS would decide to release a patch that wouldn't conflict with the rest of the bloat. That wasn't always the case, but it's what happened most of the time when Windows (as an operating system) got pwned with an exploit like this. There are still tons of unpatched Windows computers infected with Blaster... as long as you still hear about Blaster, you'll still hear about the vulnerability. That's why you'd never hear the end of it.

Of course their "elite" editors stayed the same, because their contributions are accepted... because they are the are part of the "elite". Yup, I just gave a circular argument there.

OTOH, editing Wikipedia is nearly impossible for "one-timers" because it's getting more and more features so it's becoming more and more difficult to just add a freakin' row in a table. This may be keeping new people from entering the group of "elite" editors, because they give up only a few seconds after they try to edit something. There is much information I would gladly contribute with, I would have the time to write about it, but I don't have the nerves to learn Wikipedia's special features.
