yes, though those require things to be seriously rewritten, I'm not convinced this can't work with existing code and putting the changes into the OS itself. Unconvinced apps needs fine grained sandboxing, even if they can benefit from it.

the easier answer is to leverage SSL authentication. There's no reason we should have to use passwords every time we login to a site. All sites have to do is generate a single device asymetric key pair and provide the one part to the clie

Let's say you're upset with someone, want to vent so say it anonymously and restrict said person from seeing it, so you can vent publicly, and not embarrass anyone (presuming people wont be able to figure out via the post itself who you are

oh well, didn't know about that. This isn't really too complicated, I just can't believe no one has looked at the json for the newsfeed before!

i doubt an idea you sent to google in in april/may was ripped off in 2 months. They probably were working on it already. I have enough friends at google that when I say "the product you are working on should have feature X" they smile know

what I'm surprised about is that travelling in a lincoln town car is considered luxurious! This is the standard livery cab service in NYC (which is used a lot by people who aren't considered wealthy).

depending how big your backup is, can take a while (copying to or from a 2TB disk takes a long time). With that said, probably easier overall as dont have to babysit it at all.
