Has anyone tried to do this with an incorrect phone number? If the call is locating you based on your Facebook ID, then the phone number shouldn't matter, but who knows how Facebook implemented the feature.

I don't have an iPhone, or I would check this myself.

I understand that AT&T is trying to argue that since FaceTime is a bundled app, they can restrict it however they like. If Apple cared, they could just make a FaceTime Pro app that is available in the app store and tell AT&T to go pound sand.

Let it go Carly.

My favorite Dazed and Confused quote: "That's what I like about high-school girls. I keep getting older, and they stay the same age." So creepy, yet so true.

This isn't just a Christian-head-in-the-sand issue. There are an embarrassing number of people who share my faith that think that the Sun revolves around the Earth just because Maimonides said something to that effect over 800 years ago. On top of that, you have: Birther, Bigfoot, ghosts, the Loc Ness monster, the connection between autism and vaccination. The list goes on and on. Faith is a powerful thing.

This has been debated for over one hundred years. No amount of discoveries will resolve it because evidence is sort of tangential to the argument anyway. It's a bit like the joke that 2012 will be the year of the Linux desktop. Will 2030 be the year of Evolution?

I agree with this. Also Target if there is not a Costco nearby.

If only these were made by Apple and not Phillips. There would be block long lines forming to buy the latest iBulb.

Maybe the government could contract with Apple and produce a White Box model. People would be lining up around the block to get it installed.

I just went through the exercise of trying to get Game of Thrones without paying for $100/mo worth of cable. I wish there was a streaming version of HBO, but it's just not meant to be right now.

In general, the books are slightly better. To their credit, Weiss and Benioff do a great job. The sex scenes are much improved from the books.

I use an LG Optimus-T on T-Mobile prepaid service. The phone itself cost me $100 and the service runs about $7/mo, but I use very few minutes/texts in a month. If your usage is higher, there are options for that as well. I have WiFi at home and work, so I rarely feel the need for cellular data. In a pinch, I can drop by a Starbucks or McDonalds and get connected there.

"The flaw results in too much information about the PIN being returned to an attacker and makes the PIN quite weak"

Does anyone else visualize a router responding with: "Getting warmer!"

I use T-Mobile's Pay as You Go prepaid with a LG Optimus T. The phone cost me about $100 and I spend $8/mo or so on the service. I have regular phone service and WiFi at home and in the office, so the the phone is mostly used on the go. I mostly use the smartphone features for G-mail and to sync my office calendar. I refuse to set up my office e-mail on it. I'm not exactly a power-user, but at least I'm not paying power-user fees either.

Just remember that if a contract company is quoting you $14/hr, they are paying their programmers considerably less than that. If a US company can save itself a factor of 3x by going overseas, shouldn't an overseas company be able to save itself a factor of 3x? so you are looking at $5/hr or so now. Maybe. One of the biggest problems with outsourcing is that you have more hands in the cookie jar than you need. If everybody is looking to maximize their piece, the odds of corners getting cut go up dramatically.

I never understood this argument. I'm an Electrical Engineer, and I understand that there is an analog value that gets interpreted as a digital one or zero, but the implication that 'a weak one implies that the data was previously a zero' sort of assumes that the hard drive was only written once in the first place. What happens if, in the course of writing legitimate data to the hard drive, the bit cell was set to zero, then set to one at a later date? Wouldn't the magical forensic tool get confused and come to the wrong conclusion that the 'weak one' was really a zero, when it fact it was just a 'weak one?' If you look at the analog value for one bit, you should be seeing evidence of the entire history of that bit, though in an indecipherable way. I suppose it depends on how often the hard drive is being used, and how often it is being overwritten.

It seems odd that the only screen shots show very little utility. How do you use Excel in the Metro interface? Word? Does everything just default to full screen? Based on the screen shots, apparently Microsoft thinks people spend half of their time looking at the screensaver with the current temperature overlaid on top of it.
