Problem is, if it's a 3rd party doing this, there isn't any kind of "correcting" that Amazon can do. Amazon can't tell them, "Hey, tomatoes go for $1 here, so you can't charge $10." Neither can they say, "You were charging this much for this item last week, so you have to sell it for that much this week." That isn't…

Unlike today's modern classical computers there will be no logic to program...?

Preferential treatment? So I guess giving HTC the Nexus One and giving the Nexus S and Galaxy to Samsung and proclaiming them as "Flagship Models" wasn't?

Actually, I don't think the intern's feelings are hurt at all. They're probably blown away that they got a mention on Gizmodo!

"Fortunately, the power sector is bracing itself for such problems. "The industry is engaged and stepping up widely to respond to emerging cyber threats," one electric-industry official told the WSJ."

I'd hate to say it, but this is not new for Apple. They've been doing this to their own users since at least back in the 90's (when I first jumped into using computers and my friends had Macs). This tendency also extends to their iPhone line, as well (anything before the 3GS has pretty much been dropped).

So which aside from the free AV apps you've mentioned, what other apps would you consider good? I'm currently using Kazpersky, which seems to do a good job, but I really wouldn't know better. I've stopped trusting the free stuff ever since AVG started to bloat.

Maybe, from a developer's stand-point, they would assume that if Apple's guidelines allow it (and got past their approval), that Apple has somehow made it acceptable from a higher level?

How about those peeps who use their iPads as cameras? That just kills me every time I see them. It's ridiculous!

ONe thing I've been wondering is what are the 4 hardware (home, menu, back and search) buttons used for once the OS goes ICS? Do they become shortcuts or go useless?

2 protestors + 30 (or 40) journalists = Something wrong about this scenario.

1) Turn on your consumable media player.

OF COURSE, Pasadena is the center of the universe. It's where the Rose Bowl parade happens. duh.

1st Question: This guy has the source code, basically the key to a Security company's security and he only asked for $50k? With all the risk involved, why only ask for enough to survive for a year (or two?) It's like those caper movies where they're like, " We have put together a team of super awesome specialists that…

I would think that it's a lot less about whether they have back-ups or not and more about their client confidentiality getting exposed. Liability-wise, this could/probably will open themselves up to serious lawsuits against them for breach of confidentiality agreements. Their reputation is so shot at this point, they…

But then that's what makes The Onion so funny. Many of their stories are way out there (love the one about the Make-A-Wish Foundation going bankrupt on wishes!), but some of them are *just* outside of the realm of possibility enough to freak people out.

Sure, there may be a great number of duplicates, but maybe it evens out when you introduce a friend of a friend who has a VERY large number of friends? I know many peeps who have 500+ friends.

I understand the whole mentality of doing messed up things in a spectacular way to get everyone to pay attention to certain issues that are happening but it just seems like they would do WAY more harm if they were a little more subtle.

How can this be bad? Blockbuster had policies like this and modified the movies they stocked and look where they are at now!

He never said, "Everybody blindly loves Apple".
