I was given a Nexas 4 Android. I am not a cellphone devotee, I use it for phone calls received. I hardly ever make outgoing calls and because my fingers are large, texting is folly. My text stuff, when I do it, is full of errors, even to where I select the word that the software anticipates I want to write. If I am sitting in the car while the wife shops, I play freecell. I have a 6 gig data plan and use about 50megs a month. (Yes, a waste).

With a physical keypad, there is a space between the keytops, and there is tactile feedback, and I can type with many fewer errors. I don't need voice response. Occasionally I will use the cell as a gps to guide me to an address. I own a wristwatch, so I do not need or use the cellphone to tell time.

I turn it off at meal times, or when I am in public (theatre, restaurent) places.

A cellphone is great for teens and pre-teens. Leave me to a phone with tactile feedback.

OCZ had a bad bad bad design, and went bankrupt due to the SSDs they produced. They are back, and FWIW, I wont touch an OCZ product for a long long time to come.

There are several non-Suiss wrist watches on the market that today will be around
I wear a Seiko. It is less thick then the thickness of two American Quarter coins. The battery lasts seven years, and the precision is better than one second per month.
For month that have fewer than 31days, I have to manually change the day number.
If I wanted a watch that is "perpetual", (has a built-in photocell and produces enough power to recharge battery and this watch can keep going for weeks, if left in a drawer, that watch will be 1/3rd thicker than mine. And I can go swimming with my watch.

What will the band of the Apple contain? Will contain batteries to allow the watch to run 18 hours?

Enough said!

When you have to shlep two laptops where you go, and the government one weighs twice as much as your own, and the government did not allow you to create a private logon for yourself, what would you do? You leave the crappy one at home.
And since Hillary communicated with government officials, they all have copies of her messages and their replies. Government messages to her open account would put the blame on the sender, not the recipient. I am sure her emails to government individuals were encrypted and sent via vpn.

Is the problem actually the education system? Are potential graduates given a work term at a company in their field.

Our community colleges require students to complete a work term and write up a project accomplishment report. This process eliminates the chafe from the seed.

None, and if Google disappeared, I would be sad for about 2 screens of commercial postings that I wont have to look at with a search. I just love my rapid scrolling reflex.

Strange as it might be, I have both Chrome and Firefox, and not because of familiarity, I feel Firefox is a better browser. I know what it is tracking, and it performs well for me.

Chrome too performs well. I probably use Chrome about 2 hrs per day vs Firefox's 5 hrs per day. There is something about look and feel that prevents me from dropping Firefox for Chrome. There is a successor to Opera and I will be considering it in the coming days.
Chrome 3/10 FF 7/10 is my rating

Want to defeat the bill. Organize a massive switch from your current carrier to one that everyone chooses. A carrier that loses a million customers wont remain so insistent on following through with non-neutrality.

Europe is considering or has modified net neutrality as follows:
An ISP cannot give preference to his own traffic over traffic he carries by another ISP. He cannot reduce priority. He can sell higher performance only if capacity is available.

Someone somewhere is going to make attachments that hang on emails and text with all the keywords that trigger a "we got to look into ..."
Glue the following words together, such a B omb T errorist S hot K ill M urder T NT E xplos iv e and D y nam yte in random order in every email.
That should Flood NSA with their search engine tuning and you can keep them busy for a long long long time.

ARE YOU SURE?

I am sure that she BCC'd every business email. Have you ever thought that she did not want to travel with two laptops, or that she did not want her personal stuff on a government laptop?

I concur, C++ is the way to go. Once you know C++ you will quickly adapt to other OO languages. (I started with Python3)

Subject line says it all. Snowdon, you can't get a fair trial. You have to burn your bridges. It is unfortunate. If you want marriage and children, and the pleasures of raising a family, you cannot return. By the time you are on parole (if ever), you will be too old. And if you think you will not be kept in solitary, think again. And wait for an inmate to take a knife to you.

Latin America is a place to head to. They are understanding and recognize that you did not murder anyone. You can get a good job there, and the timezone is not more than one or two hours difference.

And lets face it. The hackers, terrorists, and all the bad guys have known about encription and monitoring from today -7200 or from the end of the first world war.

All you did was let the public know, and we are grateful. Our financial transactions and our bank accounts are not going to be hacked, because industry now knows that NSA is prying everywhere. If NSA is doing it, criminals are also doing it.

You need to have an engineered timepieces that work more slowly. Your hour will be minutes longer, and your Mars pulse somewhat lower. That suggests you should live longer on Mars than if you remained on earth. (grin)

When you have 20 to 40 percent profit margins, and your institutional investors call the shots, Verizon, AT&T, Comcast, etc. have to respond to these investors. If not, presidents, VPs and directors lose their heads.

Net Neutrality is fair. Absolutely fair. Netflix pays for the pipe it has, and the volume of transfered gigs. There is profit in that. And at the receiving end, that end-user pays for his connection and the bytes he accepts to receive. The first can't work without the second.

Why should there be differences where for the same pipe that was purchased, it now deserves a premium. And that reflects in the price the consumer has to pay.

Time to allow free commerce in the fibre world. Let local businesses, groups, municipalities, state organizations or federal organizations open to compete. The city electric companies have the distribution network as well. Let them compete.

In Europe, speed is around 10x faster, and at a much much lower cost than what an American pays for USA service.
