the biggest breach lately is by far the sony playstation, in the cloud the place with most personal data is now facebook, in the cloud the personal emails are in typically in the cloud documents and address books are going to the cloud fast while a phone may get stolen or lost, the big things are on the net an easy solution about mobile devices are to have the data be wiped when away from the user, and then just pull what is needed back when the user is close chrome laptop is one example of this, and new phones could be made the same way, could easily respond to an rfid chip in the clothes or purse

back in the days apple newton was sold at all stores; it was pretty useless and doomed with a heavy pricetag! i tried android tablets, no update and no external keyboard option, only for one samsung model so you are stuck with that brand; if there was a standard for periferials that would cause more trust, when all tablet producers make their own confusing interface and block updating of course there will be lack of trust. the ipad is simply very good hardware and very good software (not perfect, alas!) coupled with a functioning ecosystem of apps grown from iphone while keeping the same connector so most thirdparty devices are working, spreading trust in users. palmpilot was once the main pocket computer on the market and destroyed by everchanging models with different interfaces and stiffened innovation, had they kept to the slow and steady development that apple do, we would all be seeing palms now (their interface is still faster for looking up appointments, adresses and taking notes than the iphone)

They crawl up the post box, there are red iberian snails, black forest snails and italian great snails all over the garden, often in the hallway or arriving at the garden door, sometimes they enter the bathroom too

As seen in the many postings replying to the link, the problem seems to be windows 7 using the battery "design capacity" value which in many cases are wrong, thus making the warning and possible causing haywire in the charging system Thus it is a real issue with many new batteries of various types and m$ is flatly denying it without reading the possible solution and test suggestions in the comment thread...

After my first 3 years in state school i was homeschooled for 3 years, and learned much faster and more than my former classmates, when i went back to school i had become used to the quiet and effective learning, and was totally shocked and outcast in a rough, tough, loud and unnatural world with awful food and daily beatings. Although getting brilliant exams i had to quit university and society due to the traumatic years in the state school, later reading the "sudbury valley school experience" i realized how absolutely unnessesary the forced schooling system is and the "highly sensitive person" theory i now support all kinds of homeschooling or private schooling with the knowledge of the vast differences between each child and how children can seem perfectly happy while being forced into submission, physical and mental torture

I fully agree!!! The worst is the acting (from writing) of persons who quarrel and talk as if nothing happens to human language, emotions and understanding the next x hundred years; same goes for movies trying to depict the past, the minimal understanding of language structure would help (we talk way faster now than a hundred years ago, and the ego is much more evolved thus most conversations in past or future movies are emotionally totally off the mark)
