Read the article. The first drug can't be created generically until July when the patent expires. By then Actavis will have switched everybody to the new drug.

There are no generic formulations of the old drug available yet. It only goes off-patent in July. Actavis are trying to switch as many people as they can onto the new patented drug before then, killing demand for the old drug. So yes, companied can still produce clones of the old drug in July but by then everybody will be on repeat prescriptions of the new drug, and most doctors won't bother to switch back.

Dude, if you have an Android phone, Google wouldn't need to use the Maps app to get your phone number or other personal details. The permission you have described is the standard "Device ID & Call Information" permission that is used by many apps. https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/6014972?hl=en-GB

Self-encryption? So it encrypts itself? Wow. On my laptop I have to encrypt my drive myself. Takes ages to work out all the ciphers

Here is the link to the original blog posting by the security company FireEye http://www.fireeye.com/blog/technical/2014/06/what-are-you-doing-dsencrypt-malware.html

Well said. I've got no idea who this asshat is, or why I am supposed to be interested in his lame idea

Since when do we use 2d for second? Are we that short of space in the new Beta?

Those are all about high-dose supplements. Most people are talking about a daily multivitamin which has 100% or less of the RDA. The FUD about harm overblown

Facebook Beacon was the last time I remember them bowing to public pressure. Of course, since then they have instituted technologies that are far more intrusive, yet after the initial outrage over the privacy violations dies down, people just forget about it and silently accept the FBRape

It would be nice if TFS included an explanation of who Laura Weinstein actually is, and why anyone should be interested in the views she writes on her amaterish-looking personal blog.

"To prove the point, here's an anecdotal based on a sample of one (myself)" I don't think proof means what you think it means

"In case you can't tell, I'm being sarcastic"

Instead of Start->All Programs->Vendor->Program, I now hit the windows key, and start typing what I'm looking for (which is pretty quick) and I just click that.

You could do that in Windows 7. You could also use the same method to launch any documents, songs or videos on your drive, without needing the extra step of pressing the down arrow to select the "files" lens.

No serious enterprise would use an OCZ SSD, they are reknowned for poor reliability and lack of manufacturer support.

The display is amazing, yes. But all the other specs you quote are pretty ordinary. My 2011 laptop has double the capacity SSD, a faster processor, 16GB memory for around 2/3 of the price, albeit at the expense of some battery life.
