Not really silent if you need to be told you need to update.

But, do you understand what the Uncanny Valley is?
If you did understand how is it 'BS'?

I have no knowledge of what is patented by this company but wouldn't you want to stop the patent infringement when other companies are using it? Why did they wait for it to be adapted and ingrained within our society for so long.

I expect to see some typical comment about the possibility of foreign entities being persuaded, coerced, bribed, or forced by a Government agency of the local government to modify the design of the hardware in order to have a backdoor for spying.
I'm sure these big corporations inspect their hardware thoroughly.
Anyways why does everyone paint eastern governments as entirely evil.

Submission + - DARPA seeks app developers for War App Store (extremetech.com)
MrSeb writes: "DARPA has a problem on its hands: Satellites, unmanned drones (UAVs), and myriad other worldwide sensors are now so ubiquitous and omnipotent that the Department of Defense (DOD) doesn’t actually know how to make the best use of them. In other words, the hardware is there, but the software isn’t. To tackle this particularly tricky issue, DARPA is looking for smartphone app developers to help build “sophisticated, adaptive applications.” Yes, DARPA wants to give smartphone developers access to the DOD’s fleet of Hellfire missile-equipped UAVs. Instead of using a single, remote pilot to fly just one UAV, DARPA imagines “an app [...] that allows a swarm of small deployed UAVs to be controlled as a single unit (a hive [mind] so to speak).” DARPA also wants app developers to help out with easy-to-use app interfaces, novel uses of smartphone-like sensors (accelerometers, cameras, gyros) — and ultimately, it wants to make a War Market where a soldier can simply log in with his DOD-issued smartphone or tablet and download Angry UAVs, Nuke Ninja, and other battlefield apps."

Australia beats my connection / price on everything except Data caps.
I currently have Timewarner Wideband Internet in Dallas, Texas.
I currently have 50 Mbps Down and 5 Mbps Up as my selected tier package. Which costs $99.99(USD) a month.
I see that it would cost a Australian with iiNet only $99.95($99.95 Australian Dollars = 97.0015 US dollars) for Twice the speed with a 1 TB Cap.
They have me beat on pricepoint. But Timewarner has no Data caps in my area.
