Related, but not to this particular case.
In the EU, the GDPR will take effect in a couple of months and will have a penalty of up to 4% of worldwide turnover for these types of breaches.
I guess some really big companies will be affected by this in the years to come, and it will force a change of focus starting from the top of companies who want to do business in Europe.
I have the same problem. It took me ~15 years or so to figure out what's "wrong" with me - I'm not completely face-blind, but slightly.
I find it difficult to recognize characters too, especially when watching a movie with two or more particularly beautiful persons - where the faces are more or less flawless. Then you cannot use the flawless face as a distinguishing factor by itself.
Why did they have to put two "identical" blondes in this movie?
Opera is QT by the way.
Unix versions used to be, but not any more (since version 10.50).
I've had it, I'm writing my elected officials & USPTO to suggest a faster, cheaper, and reliable review system.
You should patent it.
No, certainly not...think "iPhone" without having to touch the screen.
So what's the point of having a touchscreen if you never touch it?
That's a pretty broad statement, isn't it?
I think video games are like any other product, in that most of them aren't going to stand the test of time -- but some will. Take movies, for instance. For every "timeless classic" that we still enjoy watching 50 years after it came out, there were a hundred or more that deserve to rot in some film vault.
It's the same with video games.
Pac-Man, Tetris, and Galaga will always be good games.
As for M.U.L.E., it always appealed to only a subset of gamers. It's about economics, it's about competition, and it's most fun when you're playing it face-to-face against three of your friends. For the gamer who only likes shooters (whether we're talking Doom or Space Invaders), M.U.L.E. will seem boring.
But for the people for whom it was made, it's still a good game. It is to me, anyway.
Hence the hopes for the iSlate which are so high that it may be difficult for even Apple to meet them.
Anyone who regularly reads rumors about Apple products knows that this is always true. The expectations set from rumors and fanboys are always too high for Apple to meet.

Thats what the first sentence seems to implicate.
The funny thing is we already have something like this in the UK with the TV license, used to fund the BBC.
We have a similar thing in AU, with the ABC.
This is because there is a government mandate that guarantees the ABC\BBC its funding as well as other sources such as DVD sales that contribute the to the ABC\BBC. The Broadcasting Corporation (this is what the BC stands for) has a mandate that does not require it to make a profit what so ever so ever, just to maintain that it's under budget so they can fund things like "original productions", "actual comedy" and "unbiased news services" without fear of shareholder reprisal.
A government funded, independent corporations that works, I think I've just made a libertarians head explode.
