Complicated enough...

Of course, if he invented it today, he and his descendants would have prosperity guaranteed for as long as they could buy lawmakers...

Or you could just not use Windows.

And if that's not an option, you could use the dev channel version of Chrome to sideload anything you want. Or use Chromium instead. You're not locked into the App store unless you want to be,

Look, you can spin it any way you want, but his is pretty obviously a step to protect non-technical Chrome users from malware. It's not aimed at people who have the know-how to manage their own plugins/apps.

I've just plonked down the cash for a Ninja Blocks kit. http://ninjablocks.com/collect...

It's very simple to use, based around the open Beaglebone SBC and has both free apps and open source development tools.

I'll probably upgrade to the Sphere when it's available too. https://www.kickstarter.com/pr...

I remembered the statistic from presentation at a trade conference, and don't have a direct reference.

Googling "fatal fall from a bamboo scaffold" brings up the most relevant links, and FANG1 titled link closest to my memory of the presentation,

Perceived as safer by the group of workers familiar with its use, but actually no.

According to HK accident statistics, the real probability of a fatal fall from a bamboo scaffold is close to double that of metal scaffolds.

That's been considered, and I assume the checks would already have been completed.

You can see all the known runways on this map: http://i.imgur.com/Iwa6Ali.jpg

The rest of the discussion here is interesting as well. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum...

Or the first step to the pervasive organlegging in Larry Niven's Known Space. Where's Jack Brennan when you need him?

People are choosing Android to get away from the Windows complexity and bloat. Why replicate it on a compact device?

AIDE, DeuterIDE etc are made for the job, and in the case of AIDE are Eclipse-compatible. Choose whichever suits your purpose.

The drone looks like a DJI Flamewheel F550, and I'm guessing by his comments he was using the DJI iPad Ground Station (or equivalent) to bluetooth to his iDevice.

That gives any hacker two vectors of opportunity, but also the operator two transmitters to get out of range from, with the Bluetooth connection being the shortest range and most likely culprit. And if it was really a bad guy taking control or disrupting the connection, I suspect the iPad's Bluetooth is again the one any opportunistic villain would be more likely to be familiar with.

Its more likely to be Microsoft who'll be doing the downmodding, or rather their SMM partners who patrol here.

The thing is, this is where the rubber meets the road for the new, open and friendly MS image they're trying to project with the viewable DOS code and open .NET compiler . If they oppose this move to open and free document formats, we'll know they're still the same old aggressive, monopolistic, and user-hostile company they've always been, and who we are trying to escape from.

If they decide to support open formats and choose to engage with those of us who want interoperability and competition based on quality and features instead of lockin, it'll be a sign they might be on a path to being a good corporate partner.

We can always hope, but personally, I won't be holding my breath.

That's exactly what's happening.

Windows 8 has a built-in advertising layer. Microsoft's not doing this to help customers, they're just eliminating competitors.
