@Criosphynx: I don't think that's true. I think it used to be true, but I haven't heard of this problem happening in years. Quick google search seems to imply it's a myth.

In Windows 7 it's not even a Start button anymore. Vista too, I believe. The answer is to upgrade so it will be "less confusing" to them to do the same action.

I can't get my eyes to unfocus enough to see any of these in "3D".

@crosis101: That explains the callback: "You can take a crack at your old man's high score", too.

@fizzlefist: Besides the back of one of the Flynn's motorcycle helmet?

I am pretty sure that in the beginning of the movie, characters are sitting around a board room working on tablets and stuff, and a Ubuntu commandline is shown. I am almost positive I saw the words "Ubuntu" in some of the commands.

@HalLumos: Apps don't have intentions. That's where you're confused. I made no such argument that an app won't use permissions it asked to access. Is it possible? Sure. Not very likely. I used the word capability and you went off on some tangent about possibility versus the intentions of a piece of software. You're

@HalLumos: Your hyperbole notwithstanding, it does mean that the app is capable of taking an action. Your description, sarcasm aside, outlines this pretty much.

@Master_Soda: You don't know that. It's a reasonable assumption, sure, but it could be something with friends lists (connecting in to facebook/email lists to add to your friends lists is a common feature, actually).

@KamWrex: You're right in a sense that the Pandora app says it has access to personal information. What it says it does, though, is the following (source: Android Market on my Evo):

@MTVAH: That's a great point, actually, as inclusion of stuff like this in the App Store is an indication that Apple condones this kind of activity, where as I don't think that's the case on other systems like Android.

@Almightywhacko: Yikes, that's pretty crappy. Also, very misleading of Pandora, considering the "significant control" they promised. Although I guess it does specifically only promise control over what the public and other users see...

It's interesting the amount of privacy people expect to get versus what they actually get.

@Wittyname: It gives about the same info, but lets you do more with it (easier rotating and image manipulation), but you're spot on with the less-space part.

@xhedgehogx: Hilarious, I just fear that someone might take this seriously.

Now we just need to improve shirt-sleeve rendering technology.

@MushyHeirloom: Ahh gotcha. Sorry, I've spent way too much time arguing with people online that I went immediately into defensive "he must be trying to tell me I'm an idiot... somehow..." mode. Sorry!

VOTE: ESX for at work.

@sooper_gizmo12: I definitely agree about the gimmicky part. I don't think I've ever been tempted to buy a 3D TV. It's not the content, either, I just... don't care about watching stuff in 3D.

@mathemology: Not to mention people who already wear glasses. It's always incredibly awkward to wear two pairs of glasses at once.
