Had the iPhone failed it would have fit perfectly in that category. In an alternate universe nobody wanted a huge display with no physical keyboard. When you introduce new products or services the market may or may not buy them, it's v

I was talking about a encrypted message vs. a non encrypted message, I wasn't taking into account random strings of text. But who would send random strings of text if not terrorists?

As absurd as this sounds, I agree. Just look at all the 09 F9 controversy.

So what does the US law say about spying on your own citizens? Wasn't the NSA acting within its powers too?

Sorry if I came out as cynical, that wasn't my intention. I'm genuinely interested in knowing if there any other big mysteries to solve, like this one or the neurons found in the gastrointestinal system.

So you are saying that this was an known unknown, what other known unknowns are there about the human body?

> get stereo from mono data Why do you call it mono data? Given how close are each lense from another, I'm guessing, that anything far enough (0.5m?) from the cameras is beign recorded by at least two cameras at all times.

You can look at it from the other side too, maybe Americans are putting too much weight on the SSN. I could practically post my Spanish ID number next to my name online and nothing would probably happen. As a matter of fact, a stupid region

The two are not mutually exclusive, and I'm not even sure about the net effect of linking to the non firewalled article. If I couldn't read any article from the WSJ, I don't know how likely would it be that I'd sign up.
