I hope it was because they want to use port 443 instead.

12 hour factory shifts are/were common in the U.S. as well, before all the factory jobs got moved overseas.

How is setting the minimum price of books different than setting the minimum price of apps?

I can assure you I could buy a whole fleet of Google Glass if I wanted to. The class argument is laughable.

Also, unlike you, I've actually tried Google Glass and I can say that the only worthwhile feature was the ability to record video by taping the side of it. The very small display (it's like 8 lines max, maybe 5 words per line) and constant looking up and to the right do not make for a good user experience for any real information, imho.

The barrier is getting fired from your job.

So if I walk up to you and point my cell phone camera in your face - No problem? I think you'd get annoyed rather quickly.

Also, let's be honest, the security camera argument is a false argument, since we all know how crappy the footage from security cameras are and that there are more controls over the purpose and use of that footage.

With Glass you may become part of some weirdo's "art project" or have your image stored with Google in perpetuity for them to eventually add to their facial recognition database and who knows what else.

Occam's razor would suggest that she got pwned by a drive-by exploit on some site she visits. In the same way anyone else might. She just happened to be of some level of importance.

Ah, but those folks are already on the fringes of society. The "punching" reaction is a form of intimidation in the hopes that this will not become a mainstream activity.

Survey suggests P2P Users lie through their teeth. Who is going to answer a survey about illicit activity honestly?

How often do you listen to your friends recommendations right now? How often are they right for you?

You can be friends with a lot of people, and have different tastes in all kinds of things: music, food, movies, doctors, cars, clothing, ... etc.

I think everyone is afraid to click on that link.

I'm sure most of this will come from metasploit, packetstorm, and exploit-db. Directly selling exploits is shady, no matter what company is backing it.

Until this article, I forgot it was ever announced.

I sincerely hope not. However, I suspect that if it's automated in any fashion, some sites will get wrongly tagged. The general public doesn't know the difference.
