I did not know that. I guess it's a good thing I no longer own cats. Seriously though, the couple of times I did play with them with a laser pointer i do recall saying "ok, you've clearly had enough of that" after only a few minutes and putting it away. I remember it took longer than usual for them to calm down…

How was laser pointer omitted from this list? I'd have to guess that the listmaker is either not a cat owner, doesn't own a laser pointer, or owns neither.

The transition to Pethacker has begun.

Why are so many people pointing out that Android tracks your data too, but utterly ignoring the fact that Android doesn't track your data until it has warned you it is going to do so and given you the choice to opt in or not? This is a HUGE difference where privacy issues are concerned. Apple doesn't give you a…

Spitting image of a cat I had for 14 years. If someone told me that cat was cut and pasted from a photo of mine I would believe it. Uncanny.

Senator Franken sends a letter to Apple demanding answers about this stupidity: [bit.ly]

Wow. You so totally fail to grasp this seriousness of this issue it's as if you're being willfully ignorant. You think "Whatever" will suffice as an answer to Senator Franken's letter? Somehow I think not: [bit.ly]

I see. So, you're either 14 years old or a pathological Apple apologist. oh, I mean fanboy. Why did you even bother posting if you don't have anything to say?

"Whatever"? This is your argument in favor of logging all location data to a device without the owner of the device knowing it is happening? And what of lost iPhones? You lose your iPhone and you get to wonder if the person who found it is stalking you and casing out your house for a great time to rip you off based…

Reason #476 I'll never buy another Apple product. (Crazy stalkers are going to love this. Just steal or 'borrow' the victim's phone and find out all you need to know about how and where to find that person. Very significant negligence on the part of Apple IMO)

Did they factor in the high use of Marjijuana among gamers? The munchies effect would seem to be relevant here. ;-)

Or do what those of us in Seattle do: Just ignore the rain and go about your business as if it wasn't there (until/unless it turns into a flood of course. :-) )

A friend of mine who works on the ChromeOS team thinks the rumors are "cute." (He won't confirm or deny them, but he thinks they're cute.)

didn't realize you were the dev. of course the root servers can handle your app. i said "if every client on the 'net were directly querying..." i'm kinda thinkin your app isn't installed on every client on the 'net yet, but world domination is as good a goal as any. ;-)

you do know you can mix operands right?

Then you didn't need to ask the question you asked.

Just the asking of that question suggests you might benefit from a look at this: [www.googleguide.com]

Shared caches are our friends. That's why DNS caching is in the RFCs. Because if every client on the 'net were directly querying the 13 root server clusters all the time the root servers wouldn't be able to function. Read about it: [www.zoneedit.com]

Ah, yes. So you were. And so he did. Me + this thread = FAIL.
