I'm one of the 5000 artists that submitted to this campaign. All of the music on my page can be downloaded for free. For artists like me who have only dozens of listeners, the exposure is worth any potential loss of income.

I feel like calling the united states' bluff on how many citizens it's willing to imprison, despite overcrowding, is a bad idea.

Exactly, Apple requires developers to include a splash screen while the app is loading.
Resuming apps is another thing, perhaps what the author meant (for iOS at least) is how quickly they can resume from a suspended state, but every iOS app has a splash screen.
Comment Cross that section out (Score 1) 467
I don't know if this is legit, but when I was hired and saw that clause, I simply crossed it out before signing it. It seemed ridiculous to me that they would own an iPhone app I wrote on the weekend that had nothing to do with the company. HR was ok with me crossing it out.

Comment How do we know the third storm is coming? (Score 1) 111
This is hurting my brain a little. How do we know a third storm is coming when it's traveling at the speed of light toward us? Don't we detect storms by seeing them from earth, when the EM radiation has already traveled here? I'm guessing maybe we have sensors closer to it? Also doesn't it only take 8 minutes for sunlight to hit the earth?

I'm surprised not to see this on the homepage, and I tried to submit it too. Many debates on Slashdot have leaned towards cellphones being safe because the radiation is non-ionizing, and I would like to hear the community's take on this new development?
Submission + - WHO: Cell phone use can increase possible cancer r (cnn.com) 2
suraj.sun writes: Radiation from cell phones can possibly cause cancer, according to the World Health Organization. The agency now lists mobile phone use in the same "carcinogenic hazard" category as lead, engine exhaust and chloroform.
Before its announcement Tuesday, WHO had assured consumers that no adverse health effects had been established.
A team of 31 scientists from 14 countries, including the United States, made the decision after reviewing peer-reviewed studies on cell phone safety. The team found enough evidence to categorize personal exposure as "possibly carcinogenic to humans."
What that means is that right now there haven't been enough long-term studies conducted to make a clear conclusion if radiation from cell phones are safe, but there is enough data showing a possible connection that consumers should be alerted.
