Concerns of RussiaToday are warranted but in this case they are just parroting NPR [1] who in turn are repeating a story by The Salt Lake Tribune [2] (but NPR actually bothered to credit them). 1. http://www.npr.org/blogs&#x

I'm confused too. The blog post mentions violence against women and sexual-violence several times. The cached page is unreachable for me but I suspect a "seduction guide" doesn't advocate hitting women. Seduction guid

You'd need a 2-3 order of magnitude increase in storage density to get anywhere near reasonable. I suspect that's not going to happen in 10 years but I don't know the current and projected rates of storage density increases.

A yottabyte would take 3.333×10^11 3 terabyte hard disks. A 3.5 inch hard disk has a volume of 376.77344 cm³. The NSA buildings in Bluffdale take up around 1.5 million square feet. That means just the hard discs for a yottabyte would be

The post says they are transitioning over to Wallet in the very first sentence. It's amazing how many people are commenting without even getting that far into the link.

Nothing you're saying is based on anything but speculation. Babel (most likely called Hangouts) is real, yes, but that's about all we know about it.

Yeah, Walter did end up opening up the backend to DMD but the backend is still not Free Software only because Walter is licensing it from Symantec. He accepts patches to fix problems in it but it is less than ideal. The frontend is GPL and

I'm curious what the "few other things" are because the things you mention specifically are a few years out of date at this point. I'm not sure what licensing issues you've had but phobos is Boost licensed which is extremely liberal (basic

I remember at the last Google I/O the Chrome team said they were working on a more granular permissions system and recognized how scary "Access your data on all websites" was. Not sure when that's supposed to debut though.

On Android it turns on the GPS once every 30 minutes to update your location. If another app turns on the GPS it'll take the opportunity and update then and reset the 30 minute timer. When I got Android 4.1 with Google Now my battery life

I don't know how you can jump to that conclusion. Provo is one of the few municipalities with a fiber network already in place. Combined with Provo wanting to get out of the fiber business itself makes Provo uniquely suited for Google Fibe

Once they give the private key passphrase out there would be no need for us to judge for ourselves. The hackers would have everyones credit card information at that point.

> Verizon won't let phones access their network if Google Wallet can be installed. That is significantly different from every other network. That's not true. I use a sideloaded Google Wallet on a Verizon Galaxy Nexus just fine.

I don't believe you even need to root to sideload Google Wallet. I installed and regularly use Google Wallet on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus. I'm running the Bugless Beast ROM which comes rooted but I don't think I needed to be rooted to do it.

The Android Market had this same problem in the early days. It was frustrating but pretty amusing how terrible Google, of all companies, was at getting search right in their app store.
