The big issue will be that people will use this to display rude things on random people's armbands.
So you are saying the Anonymous script kiddies will use this to advance their devilish plan to "out" pedos and bring down ISIS?
The whole "Internet of Things" craze, or article summaries that presume everyone knows the acronym?
And still I don't know what that means. I guess the old chestnut "Google Is Your Friend" is in order here...
And to pay this fine, the execs have their coffee ladies sweep the corners of the executive lounge for dropped money...
A Mars bas would be outstanding for Amazon, send its stock into the stratosphere, because it's a perfect location to drop-ship for the customers on the outer reaches of our solar system...
And keep in mind, Mr. Musk is not some schmuck like the Amazon guy who has a Space Vanity Project. SpaceX has launched real rockets into real space with real payloads. Musk and SpaceX are here to stay.
That's pretty much how teenagers operate in general.
And don't forget those "cool" masks...
Anonymous isn't some kind of coordinated collective. Anyone can take on the name...
Apperently, almost 100% of those now using the name are glorified skript kiddies.
There are many things Anonymous does which are morally dubious.
For example they have already forgotten about their pledge to take down ISIS interweb sites...
Sometimes I think they are just a bunch of publicity whores, but I haven't yet figured out what it is they get out of making announcments, doing it 1/4 assed, and quickily forgetting what they were doning and moving on to the next great headline grabber...
SpaceX will sell the Air Farce the rockets. The AF launches their gear into orbit. SpaceX has nothing to do with it more than to get paid for the hardware and some support personnel who will have to have security clearances.
That's not really the way DoD rocket launches work. It's certainly not how Boeing and ULA work.
Launching spy satellite is a very very lucrative business, and if Elon Musk is too headstrong into butting his SpaceX in, who knows what ULA will do next
Like what? Send over a few "tough guys"? Sabotage at SpaceX? ULA is going to have to "re-factor" their cash cow to be more competitive, or they will continue lose out on choice US government work; the public eye is on this stuff now, the politicians will have to answer for this sort of thing.
Maybe someone high up in the USAF food chain is retireing soon and looking for a job... Boeing obviously didn't pay them off enough to keep exclusivity on their overpriced program.
The model for today's social networks appear to be to deliberately start with low-friction, low-bullshit, come-in-we're-open policies (sometimes after a beta-for-the-leet-only period), become popular, then cash in and pile on the restrictions, rules, ads and dataraping.
A lot of this is because at a certain point the realize / understand that the vulture capitalists who invested the bizziolns of cash for the cool office space and retro pinball machines want a return on their investment. The other part is that many or even most of these start-ups have from the word "go" operated under the plan of developing a product and than offloading it to Facebook for a billion or two. It's all about the money, and you can't make money without "monetizing" the product.
I hereby announce slashdotplus. It's like slashdot but without stories.
Slashdot has stories? When did this happen?
The hardest problem I've seen people have with Google Glass is how obvious it is you are wearing the glasses. People in public assume you are recording them and it bothers them.
If you over come that, I think it would be a fantastic barrier to remove.
So, you have no issues with people recording you when you don't know about it?
You think is OK for some Glasshole to walk into a restaurant where you are enjoying a public yet private dinner with a friend, record it and put it up on the Intertubes? You are OK with that. I mean, it is a "public" place, right?
I know, public places and all, just posing the question...
