Actually the key here is that you can remote wipe only the corporate data. Some people are not keen in connecting a BYOD to a corporate email service if that service gets snoop, wipe, and enforces security policies over your whole device, (including personal email, apps, etc.) This sounds like a reasonable tradeoff .. give the corporation a walled off area of your phone that they can enforce policy over and allow you to still own the device and services you pay for out of your own pocket.

I don't think Google cares if AT&T undercuts them. They are not doing this to become a profitable ISP, they are doing this to shake up the last mile provider so that they can upgrade internet services to their customers and market new google products and better gather data for their ultimate customers; advertisers. If Google fiber takes off and goes national, Google wins. If Google wakes up the ISPs and forces them to compete with better broadband nationally. Google wins and will shut down fiber .. That's the end game .. faster internet, better google service. Doesn't matter who delivers it....

Why should we prop up old industry with new?? Old industries don't have a right to exist just because they existed in the past ... as a prior poster said, better just to try and "save the buggy whip"

Glad I started using unique passwords for each site after the linkedin breech .. only one password for me to change :)

I guess you misunderstood my 1% reference. I was talking about the sequester decrease not "THE" 1%. I guess I'm curious why you think I'm a republican, I'm happy with cuts both social and military...

only one rebuttal, Obama signed the bill. Like it or not every president gets saddled with the collective decisions coming out of Congress.

> Obama's biggest fear is that we'll see that everything is just fine without that 1%, and then maybe we'll start demanding more decreases.

Which is why he has to make the cut hurt. Instead of minimizing waste (reducing travel budgets, etc.) he's going to cut positions with that 1% ...

In total agreement. Anyone can shave 1 to 2 percent of a budget .. In fact as you so rightly point out, we all were asked to do this in 2013. The thing that gets me is how Obama got away with raising a regressive tax like the payroll tax and didn't get slaughtered in the media for raising taxes on the poor and middle class.
