Neither Comcast nor Verizon use POTS lines around here. Everything is routed across their cable/fiber network. While the poles themselves were down, a majority of the wiring was still intact. The power went out as a result of over 400 trans

This is why heuristic tests suck and statistical classifiers are superior.

I'm not entirely sure the author himself understands the difference between data and metadata. It has nothing to do with importance; rather metadata is "data about data". The author seems to think it's got something to do with a distinction

Apps have been running in the background since Backgrounder was published on Cydia. And it doesn't cost anything to do so. Backgrounder lets me set up my TomTom, Flow Chat (IRC), and AMBER Alert to background themselves automatically... and

How does this factor in for the large number of people I run into who don't seem to have a brain whatsoever?

Six weeks is not a long time to wait. I've had applications take 3+ months before they ever get a response. Google should stop acting so entitled and get in line like the rest of us.

Perhaps also is the fact that many newspapers are no longer newspapers but editorial-papers... maybe some are failing because nobody wants to read everybody's opinion, but is actually interested in finding some actual news.

$15B in sales and he makes $75k a year? Doesn't sound like a sustainable business model to me.

Arbitration clauses are getting tossed out left and right... a class action clause would likely be out the window even faster. They might as well put, "you permit us to be evil greedy bastards and screw you" in the contract... it's not goin

I respect Schneier as a security expert, but he seems to have completely failed at conceptualizing the threats involved in using password managers. Other than your basic problems, such as malware, screen spying, and the like, whenever you u

Hmm I exercise daily and have been more tempted to eat healthier foods, rather than undo all the work my body has put in exercising. I'm down 30LB in the past 45 days. Time can suck it.

The fact that you have PhD at the top of your list, rather than as a footnote, tells me that you don't know what you need in a designer/developer, aren't entirely sure that your concept is viable or even doable, and are likely to wind up wi

Give me a break. How desperate are these people for news. I can write secrets to. Here's the secret code to tenthings' thought process: if (lame) write_about_it; else write_about_it; notify_press; waste_my_time; act_like_a_dillweed;

Apple used to be smart enough to understand that most voidable actions weren't the root cause of problems with their devices. It wasn't long ago that you could even disassemble your Powerbook and not void the warranty unless you really co

John, I'm surprised this surprises you. Egregious violations of freedom and privacy have been going on in the UK for years now. This is just another step towards a full-on totalitarian form of government. It's time the UK broke into civil w

It's not really "give it away, let people pay", it's more, "let people choose whether to pay or steal". Bezos' prediction that e-commerce would "work" when it became easier to buy than to steal has been true now for several years, and I thi

This is the same old trick that AT&T used back in the 60s and 70s to somehow pass legislation making it illegal to plug anything non-AT&T into your phone jack: the stability of the network. Yet any GSM expert would tell you that wha
