The US people would never let that happen. We prefer to give our government the power to monitor secretly, because they only watch "bad guys" not me.

What a great compliment this would make to my last purchase.

People do have the choice to cover the risk instead of asking the lawyer to do so. They could pay some hourly rate plus costs in which case the attorney is just working for them, the same way businesses use lawyers. What's to be pissed about? People don't want to risk their own money so they choose to pay the attorney a percentage of their "winnings".

Didn't RTFM. Don't know how the money was divided in this case.

Theirs some truth in they're. There going to find you.

Why would RIM wants that money. It is certainly embarrassing and probably illegal to profit in that way.

I just read on IMDB that Leonardo DiCaprio's next movie is call "Fart Apps" so you know it must be wrong.

With few exceptions (modern Linux, early Firefox, your-favorite-here), when is FOSS not playing catchup? I'm a big believer, but it is my experience that most F/OSS projects are a response to some commercially available / big corporate solution. Often the FOSS project provides some some feature set or widget or level of access that is an improvement over the existing package, but, as a whole the F/OSS project often lags behind bad-guy-based software. And the more UI there is, the greater the disparity becomes between F/OSS and big corporate.

Commercial software vendors would have a hard time staying in business (and plenty didn't) if they couldn't stay ahead of F/OSS.

I thought it was hard to build large, useful electric vehicles. It turns out the real innovation is in small, impractical ones. Well done fellas.

I remember reading about a study in the UK that said it wasn't what the kid did, but what the kid ate. This summer my son started playing football, improved his diet (cut out crap, limited snacks) and lost a bunch of extra weight. I cannot say one or the other did the trick, but he plays as much or more XBox 360 (resting for two or three hours of football practice five days a week) than he did before. I guess the answer is get rid of the Playstation and get an XBox.

I think the issue of Jailbreaking is more about running the apps you want and configuring the phone to work the way you want. Apple and AT&T exert significant control over an OOTB iPhone. Jailbreaking it puts the control in the hands of the user (and the authors of the malicious apps they install).

So it's OK to use his images in magazine articles, news paper stories, TV shows and Metalica album art gratis? Where's the honor in that?

I get that it's bigger, but can I get that in "Libraries of Congress"?

How is this different from what Safari does? As I recently discovered when someone gave me their old PC, clearing the cache (which the person did) does not get rid of the page images Safari creates. There were hundreds of them: news stories, many Google searches, emails being read and written, adult content. I imagine Safari creates the images for the frequently used wall it puts up when you create a new window or tab. However the images were the full page (top to bottom, not just a 4:3 thumbnail) and there were low resolution JPG's and full resolution PNG's. What Safari needs the full page, full resolution images for I can only guess. This was nine-ish months ago, so it may be different now.
