That's why I said "almost all." Many will see it immediately, most will see it eventually, and some may never see it. Still far, far better than sending to an e-mail list or hoping the user will (register and then) post in your comments section. It works and we prove it every day. And if it builds Facebook's business then all the better.

They're useful on Facebook. If I have 1000 likes for my show and I post something new then almost all of those 1000 are going to see it in their newsfeed. If I send 1000 e-mails only maybe 15% of them will open it. And I paid to send the e-mail.

I stopped doing this when the US Post Office wouldn't take my credit card. They can't manage to get my catalogs all delivered in 3 weeks, but they've got credit card review down perfectly.

That's almost $1,000 each...? No wonder public schools are in trouble.

> You take 100 employs making 20/hr sitting and doing nothing for 2 - 3 hours and you've bought yourself the cost of the PC's.

Only if you buy PCs for $40-60 per. What probably happened is the owner's terminal was connected to the failed switch, and then someone had a really bad day.

Not only willingly sharing, but actually "friending" the agent. That's like inviting the agent over for a dinner party with all your friends. Yeah, sort of hard to maintain an expectation of privacy there...

In the US at least it wouldn't be a warrant or a police action. You would just file suit against the chip maker, the vet, and the guy who has your dog as John Doe. During discovery the records would be subpoenaed and John Doe would be named in the suit.

It's the same way you go after an unknown person on the Internet. File suit, name the ISP and the anonymous offender, subpoena the offender's name.

Please do. Notice how the graphs show Windows with 10-12% of the issues unpatched?

That's the problem. Well that and the missing graph showing "time to patch"...

Multitasking is not primarily in the UI. Platform lockdown via the app store is not primarily in the ui. I would think that readers of a geek web site would know that.

Almost right. They'll release a mac mini with this OS at a *discount* to the current mini. A desktop version of the iPad...a "home browsing appliance" or some such thing.
