The fact that something is "under investigation" should have absolutely no bearing on this. Either it is, or is not, currently involved in the legal system. Beyond that, it is "innocent until proven guilty".

There is a huge difference between personal privacy, and the privacy of governments or organizations. Especially if these governments are meant to be publicly accountable by nature.

Except that there is no legal limbo. No charges, let alone convictions have been rendered. This is simply Apple enforcing their morality.

My theory about why the usage is so high, is that this demographic is treating SMS just like an instant messenger. There is probably lots of low-content back-and-forth chatter that the older generation would probably structure differently since they are more likely consider the cost per message.

Quicktime Alternative could be a viable option. It works for me.

It's part of the K-Lite codec pack, or you can download it as an individual codec here: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/quicktime_alternative.htm

Agilent has the MSO6014A for sale on their site for around $8500. Has the price really dropped nearly an order of magnitude since yours was purchased?

I second this proposition

I wonder if the timing of this will hurt the deployment of Galileo GPS systems?

Shouldn't it be said the XP won't support IE9? Or that IE9 is not supported on XP? An app doesn't support an OS.

I use Nod32 on my corporate network and at home, and can highly recommend it, but this doesn't fit the 'free' specification. AV comparatives is a great independent site where they do regular testing (several times a year) including both free and paid AV software: http://www.av-comparatives.org/

I can watch Colbert Report, Daily Show and South Park just fine in the Netherlands, direct from Comedy Central's official sites. No trickery required (unlike Hulu).

None of it is unprecedented. Image Metrics technology was used for facial capture, which has been around for years in the games industry. We have used virtual camera work and real-time animation for our CG TV show Sprookjesboom since 2004, and other games like Resident Evil used virtual cameras long ago.

Cameron is to be applauded for tying all the tech together so nicely, and the animation teams' work on rigging and lighting is breathtaking - but the key mocap and camera tech was already in place.
