It's not guaranteed to not die—revelation after revelation has been coming out for nearly the past decade, if not longer, and people always forgot and moved on, or stopped caring—even in the tech community. It's only now, with so

Protests are good because they 1) keep the story alive, 2) make it more obvious to ordinary people out in public, and 3) indicate to others that this time we're really angry and possibly get more people to join in as well when they rea

I don't know. For a nation of people that supposedly treasure their privacy, I don't know why we aren't taking to the streets and protesting all of this. There should be ongoing online protests as well, like with SOPA. The SOPA protest was

Serious question: if this is the case, why does my phone's battery last significantly longer when sitting idle and not making calls vs. when I'm talking to people on it? Surely the energy cost of constantly transmitting audio would make the

It won't. If it does, it will last a week or two and then people will move on and forget about it.

Pretty barebones, just a wireless mouse (Logitech Performance MX) and headphones. I alternate between sitting at a desk, reclining in a chair, lying on a couch, and standing.

I'd been biking around 10 miles daily prior to it, but was still hit hard by my first hike. It was about 8 miles with a 2,000 foot climb, and I could barely walk for three days after. A few more hikes, however, and I was reasonably well con

This reads more like a warning to inform parents about its existence. Nowhere does it say not to let their children use it, it merely says "If your child has access to this particular application, please consider having a conversation about

It was a heavily classified project, as evidenced by the enclosure to hide its shape. I don't think they would want to be flying it out of Burbank in plain view of everyone. Additionally, its first test flight occurred at Area 51, after thi

I had a situation last year where the IRS sent me a notice that I owed something like $20,000 in taxes from a single 1099 they claimed I did not file. In fact, they had missed a decimal point on the 1099 and read something like $75,000 rath

I definitely agree to a certain extent. I go hiking regularly and I wear a chest-mounted camera harness for my DSLR, which I always take. I take 50 to 100 photos on each hike (unless it's a place I've been to before) and I definitely notice

I don't understand it either. The lack of easy email encryption effectively makes it impossible for me to use any at all, because no one else wants to take the effort to set it up (or is even capable of doing so) on their end.

Google Reader is the back-end/syncing platform for many desktop and mobile feed readers, so everyone who uses those apps suffers from this as well. It's especially useful for feeds that update frequently, because if you go offline for a per

This is the primary reason I use Google Reader too. I don't use the web interface at all, I just use it to keep track of everything so I can sync with it when I reconnect later, long after a number of items have disappeared forever from the

It can't, and it doesn't have civil rights (or other capabilities) to defend itself, which is why the government likes to sue it—it's an easy win for them.
