Comment Re:Passwords are property of the employer (Score 0) 599

I would agree with this if it was a sale/transfer from one company to the next but it wasnt. This is like if someone gets kicked out of a house, they need to relinquish their keys, especially if they are the only ones that have it. THEN, they can change the locks and doors after they gain entry back in.

Agreed with the logmein/admin solution. Quick and painless and as long as the computer is connected to the internet, you can gain access and fix. Meaning, mom doesnt have to sit there and wait for your to do stuff. I have this loaded on all of my PCs here and at my parents house.

hilarious...but this is the problem with BYOD type stuff(and Android fragmentation). I work at a company that allows people to buy their own phones and bring them in and get email set up on them. I cant tell you how many different ways there are to get to the same settings on an android phone. Its in stark contrast to the way iOS devices work since they are all the same. Like it or not, this is how it is with android phones.

No worries! Its all good. I hate when I encounter other photogarphers who are territorial instead of helpful or even communicative for the sake of community. I also think unions need to die as well... Hell, if this gets thru the system and I dont need permits anymore, more power to all the creative types!

Please explain how I have no credibility? I do this as a part time thing and yes, I would consider myself professional but in no way am I trying to bar other people from doing creative things. You forget how litigious the American public can be. If I slip, fall and break an arm in your house, I can sue you. If I slip, fall and break an arm in the park, guess who has the right to sue? The permit has some legal mumbo jumbo in it about not being able to sue and the liability insurance handles any costs that may arise incase something does happen. Everyones ass is covered.

The way i look at it(im a photographer), is that the permit IS necessary. The argument that its a small production and like a family pulling out a video camera and nothing like a large production is that they are intentionally filming this for monetary reasons and IF they arent, how can they prove that? The 2 million policy isnt absurd at all, all parks and buildings in IL, especially chicago, require this. I have liability coverage up to 3mil and its only $600 a year. Pretty reasonable for what it covers(theft, damage, injury, TRAVEL). If youve got a crew of people, and this is going to be posted online or used anywhere for public viewing, you have to follow the rules. No ifs, ands or buts.

Comment Phone OS, same or different? (Score 0) 389

How is this any different than phones running Android or Symbian? The OS is developed, then phone manufacturers aquire the OS, adapt it to their hardware and then lock it down. If you want to boot something else, you have to hack it. I dont see you up in arms about it, you just deal with it. It was only a matter of time before this started happening with computers too.

Not to mention a voided warranty for phone.... When will people realize that Android ISNT OPEN! its locked down once a manufacturer gets their hands on it. By unlocking the phone, they make it same like they are appealing to the masses but they arent. Open your eyes!
