Anybody else feel like both of these stories (this one and the one from last year regarding the iphone 4) were planted? My BS meter is going off like crazy.

It was Inevitable the stock would dip a little when Jobs announced he was stepping down. Considering he's still going to be the driving the force of the company as chairman of the board pretty much tells you all you need to know. Secondly,

The main reason they hire MBA types instead of engineers is because the main purpose of the company is to make money. A lot of MBA's don't take a long view on technology for various reasons. Thus, when every product you make isn't shipping

T-Mobile is a third rate carrier as it is. They can barely compete with AT&T Verizon at this point. The only reason wireless carriers buy each other is for infrastructure and customers to boost its bottom line. Apple has neither. To buy

Unfortunately, this is the beauty and the beast of a capitalistic economy. One the one hand, you have incredible opportunity to achieve success. While on the other, you end up with a concentration of wealth and power to a small group of ind

I'm wondering how many people actually take this as purely entertainment and not a show where they can glean useful information about new cars on the market. I've never watched the show, but it seems like they're trying to blur the two line

I think they sending a clear message to the US government to get their financial house in order. The fact this has never happened (to either democratic or republican presidents in the history of the country) is a major issue. Imagine if we

First of all I fail to see how taxing people sustains jobs. As a business, if you're having to give more money to the government, and putting less of it back into your business, it would seem you're actually creating an incentive to lay peo

Even if you tax the hell out of the rich, it still leaves this country TRILLIONS in debt. It's a fact - you don't tax your way out of a recession and you sure as hell don't tax people to create jobs. It simply doesn't work. And yeah, great

Interesting for hackers who like to use this type of information. Although almost six years old, I'm not sure exactly how useful it would be. Completely lame for anybody outside the hacker culture. We're all looking for the juicy stuff, not

After reading the article, it appears as though Anon were lured into the attack by PayPal. Then it sounds like the Feds already had all their stuff in place to collect the data while the attacks were happening.

Well, Mr.Swartz should probably thank Anonymous and Lulsec for provoking the US Government. They're fed up and have determined whoever they get their hands on (minor hacking or not) they're going to drag you into federal court and make an e

I've been on Twitter since the beginning and have had the same experience. Start following some people, post some interesting things and you'll get followers. Another way to get followers is to either pimp a product or complain about a prod

Well it was fun while it lasted. If they delete my account, I'm not going to lose much sleep over it since 95% of the people I interact with are on Twitter or Facebook. None of them have Google+ accounts yet. Easy come, easy go.

Agreed. I had the same reaction. The guy outs the problem and the blatant use of cheating by his students and all he gets in return is a kick in the teeth by doing so. I'm glad I never stayed in academia.

It has nothing to do with activist history - this how economics works. What happened to the price of gas when there was a disaster in the gulf of Mexico? Oh yeah, gas prices went up and up and up. Who really paid for the disaster? BP or us

I wonder if they'll ever understand the people they're trying to protect are actually the victims in their actions. They hack Sony. Sony loses millions. How do you think they're going to recapture their loses? By passing the loss onto consu

I thought about that or just do what the wireless companies do and charge him per KB over his limit. The first $2,000 bill should get him back into line pretty fast.

I think this is the main issue I'm seeing in this discussion. I'd say yes, there are other options available. You use a lot of bandwidth? They have your roomies chip in and get a T1 or something higher. There are alternatives, but you have

Good story, good life lesson. You tried to game the system and got jacked in the process. Let me tell you, I hate bugs as much as the next guy and I feel for you. I lived in some dumps, but never with any roaches. I went to college up north

For all you unfamiliar with sales, this is what's referred to as, "the close". I highly doubt Zuckerberg thought about the biblical overtones. It is, an easy way to close a prospect, and a great way to convince somebody to join Facebook. It

Not only that, but it says right in the terms and conditions they can change the terms at any time without notice. It also clearly states if they feel like a party is using their services for illegal activity, they can block any payments or

You don't have to go these lengths. I use quite a bit of social media and none of the sites I use, has my correct personal information. All my ID's are all made-up personas and connected to junk email accounts. It would take a lot to get to

Oh Julian, how arrogant you are. Every time I read this guy spouting off, he just continues to lose credibility and respect. If you don't want employers or any other companies looking you up on social media, then don't use it - or just use

You are correct in terms of state and local ordinances, and I did do some more research and came up with the landmark case of CALIFORNIA v. GREENWOOD, 486 U.S. 35 (1988) where this very issue was argued before the Supreme Court: http://cas

I'm pretty sure the FBI and most likely CIA are already tracking these guys and building cases on them as we speak. They've broken enough laws in enough countries to go after them. You'd be pretty surprised how much money is available to th

You might want to read up on the laws regarding digging through trash. If the trash is on your property - it's illegal. Even if its in your driveway waiting for pickup, it's still illegal to go through. Also, In most states dumpster diving
