We will not have "driverless cars". Ever.

Is this to say that the Earth's climate has gone through natural changes over the centuries? Warming and cooling? All by itself?! I thought global warming - I mean - climate change - was caused by man burning fossil fuels.

Say it isn't so.

I disagree, based on presumed innocence. If you accuse me of infringing on your patent, you should be required to provide proof, as would be the case in any other legal proceeding. If I'm charged with a crime, the burden is on the prosecution to prove my guilt. Consider also a civil case. if you accuse me of being negligent in keeping my floor clean, causing you to slip and fall, the burden is on the plaintiff to prove that the floor really was a mess and I was negligent in not cleaning it.

No, it's today. I got the email too:

As of January 21, 2014, LogMeIn Free will no longer be available. To continue using remote access, you will need to purchase an account subscription of LogMeIn Pro. ...

I've been using LogMeIn Free for years. I'm not a heavy user by any means. I used it to remotely control one of the home PCs when I'm out of town (which isn't often). If they want to take away the free access, fine. It's their product, they can do whatever they want with it.

But not giving any notice? That conveys a sense of contempt. It wasn't long ago when they caught hell from their userbase for re-directing their login to a page in India (log.in) without bothering to tell anyone. I'll be sure to recommend against their use for any future employer.

MOD THIS UP. We may have been suckered by the news media (once again) trying to make much ado about nothing. Show us a story about MS deleting software people actually installed. THAT would be a story.

When I'm on the road, I often I make heavy use of the smartphone to provide GPS w/ Google Maps and streaming audio to the car stereo. So strictly speaking, on a trip that's about 14 hours each way, the smartphone would win. But when I'm chillin' at my destination, I'll have the laptop on.

I was wondering how far I'd have to scroll down to see someone call BS on this. Wish I had mod points now.

Sounds good but I'll wait a few years.

Most hairstylists are women. Should we wring our hands about that too?

Because everything else our glorious government tries to control turns to gold.

If every 3-letter agency in the federal government wasn't so busy spying on us, I might get it. But nowadays, I don't trust anyone from Washington.

I won't. Hopefully more and more people will learn what they're doing and choose to shop elsewhere as well.

If I had the resources, I'd immediately launch a competitive, cross-platform VOIP/video service that plays nice and clean up by poaching Skype customers. It would take a massive, worldwide marketing campaign and lotsa servers and bandwidth, but the market is hungry for a competitor and this is a great catalyst for one.
