Why does a critical system have unsecured USB ports? Fixing that seems more important than clarifying you'll bomb people over it.

No, restart-less extension installing and updating is a separate feature that's also in the works. I don't recall if they have a set release for that yet or not.

No. For a lot of us, that's like asking, "Does the ability to run JavaScript put Chrome at risk of becoming bloated?"
I don't know, judging from some NoScript fans, they certainly think so.

Yes, you did. The 4.0 update from the beginning of this year added SDHC support as well as the ability to play WiiWare/Virtual Consoel games off of the SD slot.

I've always found it kind of amusing that it's basically all about sex and pooping. Of all the forms of speech that can be censored due to being offensive, of all the activities which we can't tolerate because they're too objectionable, we've picked out sex and pooping.
We hate the Germans _that_ much.

The problem is the reverse actually. Whoever has the rights in your country won't let Hulu run the shows in it because it cuts into their advertising.
Bionic Contact Lens May Lead to Overlay Displays 213
pfman writes "A University of Washington researcher has developed a
contact lens including circuitry and a matrix of LEDs. Although not yet a working prototype, this may be a foundation for terminator/robocop style overlay displays in which computer graphics could be superimposed on your normal vision. 'Building the lenses was a challenge because materials that are safe for use in the body, such as the flexible organic materials used in contact lenses, are delicate. Manufacturing electrical circuits, however, involves inorganic materials, scorching temperatures and toxic chemicals. Researchers built the circuits from layers of metal only a few nanometers thick, about one thousandth the width of a human hair, and constructed light-emitting diodes one third of a millimeter across.'" Kotaku notes that this has some obvious gaming implications.
Submission + - Prosecutor announces charges against Pirate Bay
paulraps writes: Almost a year after a police raid on the Pirate Bay's servers, a Swedish prosecutor has announced that he intends to press charges against the individuals behind the file-sharing giant. They will be prosecuted for various breaches of copyright law, reports The Local. But a Pirate Bay spokesman was defiant, saying, "I think they feel they have to do it. It would look bad otherwise, since they had 20 to 30 police officers involved in the raid."
