Given how many idiot thieves out there open up a stolen laptop and immediately start logging into their personal accounts without deciding to wipe it first, I don't think many people will think to take photos and then clear the exif into it before uploading to flickr or what have you.

True, but it's also more likely that someone making unauthorized use of their photos will have changed the file somehow (edited it in photoshop, by cropping, adding a logo, what have you) instead of just straight copying and pasting an image. Again, you might as well go for it, but it's probably more helpful as a…

no no no, THIS time it has one more G than previous generations, and the pixel density is even greater (with a 2 year contract)

I got Lou Henry Hoover as well, searched "stanford mining engineer banner"

Fast Five was, no joke, my favorite movie of the year. And I saw a handful of them this year (including that one) at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences theater. Maybe it was the fantastic audio and projection (though I also saw Tree of Life there and was disappointed)

I will add abortion to the list in that I hope by then we'll have figured out how to not need to have them to begin with.

You don't understand, none of the actors have ever actually been in the same place at the same time... the crew set up green screens in each of their houses' kitchens and they did their parts remotely.

This kind of remark continues my concern from Batman Begins (that were allayed a bit by the Dark Knight) that Nolan actually doesn't have much of a fondness for the Batman mythos itself, just that the stories he wants to tell just interesect enough with Batman stories for it to be worth making. Sounds like he became…

wow i really hope the guy fed the dragon actual lizards after this.

and AT&T hasn't caught on that you're using the wrong sim on an iPhone? I thought they were pretty savvy with figuring that stuff out, like how they actively keep track of whether you're tethering unofficially, or even using the iphone with a voice plan but WITHOUT a data plan.

You're making quite a few assumptions here that I don't think are true a majority of the time making your statement a rule of thumb.

The tough thing about this model is with Netflix there's an upper-limit to how much media each person can consume, and relatively easy to quantify how much a certain show has been watched or rented, so revenue sharing isn't too labyrinthine. But how do you quantify how much developers get? By how many times the app is…

I agree. I have the cheapest voice plan at 450 minutes and after less than 18 months of use I've got 2500 rollover minutes. maybe i should go back to calling people instead of emailing them.

If I use google voice within gmail to call, how can I possibly get charged minutes, if it never routes through my phone?

Yeah, I don't necessarily want to own everything I watch on TV, and I certainly wouldn't subject myself to only 10 hours a month for the same price I'm paying now, regardless of whether I can own it or not.

If TV networks took a page from this instead of getting free TV or paying 50/month for cable I'd be paying 5 dollars for every hour of television. No thanks.

ha, i was thinking of patlabor, but I think you're more spot on.

Oh and 4k resolution on a 55" display is beyond overkill. [www.ecoustics.com]

Except there are no consumer products being developed in 4k... certainly no delivery system in place that can handle it (Blu-Ray can't do it, and streaming would be infeasible). If Apple were to do this now it'd be an even bigger disaster than Apple TV is now.
