As part of the app approval process developers should be required to explain why they want certain sensitive permissions, such as access to contacts, messages etc. Google should then deny approval of apps that overreach in terms of permission requests.

The biggest problem with the economy is wage stagnation. I think that supply and demand is a terrible way to set wages as a job is a necessity for nearly everyone. Demand for workers can shrink but the supply will not and wages will bottom out and as they do so will demand for goods, effectively creating a catch-22.

If the price for GB is below $0.50 then they got a winner.

They are being given 3 year work-papers they are not being given legal-immigrant status or even a path to that. Work papers simply allow you to work in the country legally. Of course fact don't work well with the Conservative mindset that the working poor whether U.S citizens or not, simply want to live on government handouts. It does make the injustice of wage disparity much more palatable I guess.

I am paying the toll to get on this shinny 6 lane highway only to discover that the exit to New York city is back up for miles because the city refuses to pay them for a large exit. What do I care how many lanes the highway has or how fast it can get me to Jersey city, what I am paying for is to get to my destination the fastest possible.

Sending people on glorified joyrides is about the biggest waste of money I can think of.

The laws in many states go far behind simply decriminalizing possession of small amounts. In many states there are regulatory schemes that authorize and control the growing and distribution. These regulatory schemes can most certainly be challenged in court as they go far behind "giving their citizens more rights" which is generally allowed.

There are those that vote for a party and there are those that vote against one. It is a unfortunate eventuality of the limited choice presented by a 2 party system.

If the feds re-schedule it before there is enough public support than you will see a bunch of outraged state legislators quickly moving to make it illegal at state level, to "protect our children" of course. Federal law preempts state. The Obama administration could sue and have all the legalization laws, recreational or otherwise stricken from the books. Not doing that and directing federal agencies to even ignore dispensaries and growing operations unless they have suspicion of their drugs moving across state lines, is a pretty big deal.

All the uses for gigabit connections I hear basically boil down to multiple HD video streams and rented applications running on remote servers. Until someone can actually give me some truly useful purposes, know what you can keep your gigabit connection. Replacing TV tuners and Cable boxes should not be what we envision the Internet to become.

People hate Obama-care and like the Affordable Care Act.

A smartwatches primary usefulness is hardly as a time indicator.

Smartwatches could take a revolutionary leap by dropping the watch moniker altogether and all the design constraints that come with it.

Neither merchants nor banks will see real benefits until there is near universal adoption and merchants can stop accepting swipes. With the large upfront cost and the benefits perhaps a decade away, neither side is willing to invest.

Technically it is still unlimited the same way a slumloard could close the main water valve to allow barely a trickle and claim that he hasn't shut off your water.

You mean like GM's ignition switch fiasco. Killed plenty of people and they knew about it for years.Liability due to bugs or design issues is nothing new in the automotive sector.
