And thus the end of Apple's 'security via obscurity' is coming to a close. It was nice while it lasted, but it's time to move on

Well, I won't comment on the rather slimy move by the gov't, and their clear lack of ability to stand up for the reasonable privacy of their people... wait I think I just did. However, there is a simple solution to all this -- don't use Facebook. I used to use the site, but deleted my account about 6 months ago (permanently deleted... not just suspended as they do by default), and I've never been happier. I found I didn't like the practices of the sites owners, and it was just a constant drain on my time. I have better things to do with my day then look in on the lives of distant friends / relatives I don't care about. Anyone that I really consider a close friend doesn't need FB to see what I'm up to, nor do I need it to see what they're doing. If you don't have a FB account... certainly no employer can demand access to it If they ask you for your FB login information you can quite honestly and frankly tell them you don't use the service. Still, I think that it's supremely slimy for an employer to want this information from you. Just another reason that if you use these social networking sites, you should never post anything of significance on them.

We all know this is how SkyNet started this way.... I guess 2012 really /is/ the end of the world!

So.... I can develop for Android ICS. Now! Just to learn Java! *coughs*

Eat a taco, recharge your smart phone from the caloric content.... sound's like a win win to me (jk)

*facepalm* That would explain the black hole that just formed in my office and consumed my co-worker. Poor fool, that's what he gets for taking my seat!

Well, we can clearly see that it's not an iPhone 4, else holding it with her left hand would kill the signal.

The Blue Screen of Death will now cause the green cloud of radioactive fallout! Gate's is simply looking to create a rainbow of diversity for the ways that he can cause pain and destruction. Though... I'm not sure leaping from electronic to biological desolation? Might their be some anti-trust issues here (again)? Billy when oh when will you learn?

This sort've thing drives me insane. DLC is a good idea in concept but in practice? You get results like this. You shouldn't have to pay any gaming company for additional content they included on the disc, it's madness, taken to another high level. I get severly annoyed with these gaming companies that release DLC 5 days after the game's out,a nd change 15 USD for it. Or the ones that release DLC that actually just fixes bugs in their game whilst adding very very little to the experience. Its one thing to add an expansion to your game, it's another thing to take content that should've been free that was already on the disc... and charge people to play it. I don't say this often, but I hope the hacking community figures out a way to open up the extra content on the disc for free on the PC, because if I owned the game... I'd crack it.

Actually we've run into that. But That's a violation of HIPPA (Health Information Privacy and Portability Act), and if you find your users doing something like that in a medical environment? It can mean very serious action is taken. We actually had one person refuse to 'not' use post-its.. and they where let go from the organization. And I mean honestly in the grand scheme of things, you're adding one password to your daily computing life, that will ultimately save someones butt if their PC gets stolen. Where I work, most of the Doctors are grateful for that extra layer of security. They know that if patient data was leaked, on their watch? It would likely mean their jobs, a black mark on their names in the public, and a lot worse for the organization they work for. I'm sure its similar in other fields.
