Did giz just have a article a day or two ago that scientists found Zika in a guy’s sperm over two months after being exposed? And that the article went on to say that they aren’t sure yet about the exposure period?

This makes it sounds like Apple has keys to iCloud backups. So, while they cannot decypt imessage in real-time...as soon as those messages are backed up to icloud they could get access to them. If that is true then so much for Apple not having the keys to the kingdom.

Is this actually true? I don’t see one other tech website reporting this. Nor do I see one news website reporting it...especially the conservative websites that HATE planned parenthood. Has this been doubled and tripled checked?

Because a master’s degree ain’t cheap. Especially when you get one from northwestern.

Exactly. And that average SL debt that everyone likes to talk about...that is for an undergrad degree. You want to get a masters or phd degree...try doubling that amount. And unless your salary increases with it than you are SOL. Your budget becomes all about paying the loans.

Because I make a good salary. The government feels I can afford to pay more. So, even under the debt restructment payment plans, my monthly payment went from $800 to $600. Now, add on a car payment (almost paid off), mortage, taxes, and every other monthly bill and you can see why true savings isn’t happening.

My debt is under control and managed but I just don’t see this path to financial heaven people like to talk about. I have a 401k that my employer matches up to 4% and some small investments. But I doubt I will retire before 70.

Not trying to pry...but unless you have a job paying over 6 figures and zero other expenses, how did you pay off $154K in 6.5 years?

All of these financial goal planners are crap. They were made for a generation that doesn’t have student loan debt. I am 35 and 5 years out from my masters degree and still $60K in debt in loans. How in the hell do they think I can afford to put away money like that when my monthly loan payment is $600?

As curious as I am by this...I would never buy it from their website. The shopping cart and checkout isn’t encrypted at all! I have no idea when I submit my details (including CC or paypal info) if it would be encrypted or transmitted in the clear. Very bad coding.

Two things:

Everyone needs to understand that magnetic swipe cc readers are NOT going away in October. Merchants must offer chip/pin readers starting in October.

I am a huge type 'a' personality and I have 2 rules when it comes to deadlines:

How was the government going to fine yahoo? With what authority could they fine anyone? The government (fbi/cia/nsa/ or any 3 letter agency) is not a body that can impose criminal fines. Unless my knowledge of our laws is wrong, only a US court/judge can impose fines.

Mythbusters did a whole show on this a few years ago and figured out that while it is a great material it would never work as an actual long-term ship.

There is a way to hide an icon from the dock if it is not an option. This trick goes away the next time you update TV but it is a quick fix: http://www.cnet.com/news/prevent-a…

I actually thought this existed already and was opened. I thought the american tv show "build it bigger" profiled this a couple of years ago? That show by the way is sooo cool and a favorite of mine.

Am I the only one who thinks that in the 24 years that hubble has been in service that the 100 TB of data that has been produced is quite low? With all of the spectacular images it has captured, you'd think it would be in the petabytes of data.

I probably am really dumb for asking this but at 320 degrees...how do the towel not burn or catch fire? I realize it is wet but at some point it has to dry out. Do towels really have such a high burn temp?

That is what I have always done also. I used blue painters tape. It let me know what area has been cleaned out. That way I never had to re-open it again during the packing process.
