Forget the embassy. This man had an Interpol Red Notice issued because he is wanted for questioning about why he did not wear a condom with someone he had been sleeping with regularly. Does that sound like standard operating procedure to y

This makes no sense. If I send off an e-mail to multiple people, does that negate my right to privacy? How many people can I talk to at once online before someone decides that my conversations are not considered private? If I have two frien

I downvoted him. This is ignorance that shouldn't be tolerated. He's acting like the Taliban is a personal threat to him when traveling by air. They are not, and citing things like Richard Reid (who was British), do not support the argume

He knew that he was obtaining sensitive information that he shouldn't have been able to access (through at&t's negligence), however instead of following any sort of responsible disclosure, and reporting the incident to the company, he g

It goes deeper than that. As soon as I read "skin care products at the mall" I immediately thought, "I wonder if the sales person was from Israel". I honestly didn't think I would see that addressed. Do you remember those Zoom Copters tha

For the past several years the Facebook mobile site has been much better and performed faster than the iphone app. Why then have people still been using the facebook app? When you realize the answer to that, you'll understand.

Nay. Reaching between your legs? I'd honestly never even thought that was an option. You just lean to the side, while seated. Just try it once, and keep an open mind.

From what I read on the internet 25-40% of people out there seem to stand up to wipe.. and I have to believe that's largely due to people never discussing how they use the restroom.

There's no evidence that the document wasn't deleted. It's not the document that's being accessed, but an embedded image within the document, accessed by some unique identifier. It's entirely possible they just have this jpg saved with it's

A devil's advocate could also say that they didn't have everything set up properly back then, and now that they have proper security in place, that it isn't possible to apply the new security to old documents because the options didn't exis

Accessing anything from TOR in his position would be silly, because that sort of activity is likely to be picked up on many computers he might use. Why have to explain why you're trying to hide your tracks? I would buy a cheap tablet or an

He's not pretending to be a tech trendsetter, he's being an investor, and hedging his bets, as all good investors do This is a hedge against the unlimited patent exposure all the companies I have investments in face. Patent risk is impossi

I'm in that camp. It's also interesting because I close the tab on 50-70% of the "Hey HN, look what I made" posts for the same reason. (requiring Facebook)

Or some of the products are so advanced that the the product teams won't deal with the fruits of the research for many years. I remember being excited about Microsoft's SenseCam just a little under 10 years ago. 4-5 years later I thought t

Novel idea for something you would see on an infomercial or skymall, but no tech savvy person would ever purchase one because (1) Tech people already know how to block ads. (2) The idea of having a random linux box on your network that has

Forstall is an engineer, not a designer. Are you chastising him for not recognizing the design of a clock of a railway half-a-world away? That's pretty ignorant.

Step 1: Ask people if they want to share who they voted for in as many places as possible. Step 2: Add results. Other than simple math, I'm not seeing what there is to mess up.

Did you watch the video where the computer was talking? There is no possible way to confuse that robot voice with the speaker. Technology like you suggest is a long way away from the consumer market.

You misunderstand. This is not an anonymous data-dump like the AOL fiasco, and there is no way to get any raw data. Basically you just pick a few things like your age, salary and where you live, and then out of all of the people out there

The article doesn't really describe a "bug" so much as a complete lack of planning, ignoring warning signs, brushing off questions and constructive criticisms, and in general demonstrates the exact wrong way to implement any system. No, no

As someone who operates a fairly large datacenter in Iceland, I'm open to suggestions on how to cater to the "datahaven" crowd. Of all of the datacenters in Iceland, the majority of it is all local business, and although there always seems
