So ignoring the fact that the US has far more lax privacy restrictions than many other countries. It would still be illegal then to record audio without consent and record video on private property, wherever a sign has been displayed or in

Not on iOS IIRC. And it definitely is a law that ALL smartphones make that sound in many countries e.g. Japan, South Korea.

Usually it involves customizing what data is captured, what workflows are in place and the reports that ultimately get generated. Given that SAP is quirky (to say the least) it typically requires some real world experience.

I still don't understand why nobody is talking about the legal and social issues around the video recording capabilities of the Google Glasses. Which so far looks like its only real use case. It is illegal to record someone without permissi

Your question is misguided. The real question is why are some technologies subject to particular exploits and others not ? And the reason is that technologies are implemented differently.

Not a single bit of what you just said makes any sense.

Or more likely the database is sharded and they just compromised those physical machines.

Okay here's a few counter points: 1) There is no evidence that all of the records were compromised. So Twitter is keeping users secure by proactively resetting passwords. 2) People need to get over this Friday afternoon release. Twitter is

Issue is that you don't know which of the tens of thousands of internal IP addresses would correspond to the one or two sysadmins who would have production access. Which means either the production servers were hacked or there was a widesp

Nobody hacks Twitter just to get valid emails or impersonate someone. That's ridiculous. Pretty clearly this was the work of governments e.g. China, Iran who are trying to find out more about political dissidents or the sources of leaks. Th

So we are in agreeance then. MongoDB IS durable but it will be slower doing so. Hardly a surprise there. And still have to disagree about the joins but hey agree to disagree. As for MongoDB performance well making a blanket statement is pr

Why not just use KnockoutJS?

MongoDB IS durable now by default, has a third party MVCC implementation (MongoMVCC) and has pretty decent admin tools. And this idea that joins is a requirement for a "serious" database makes absolutely no sense. Database level joins are t

One year for a digital currency to be accepted as US tender and two years for Facebook to beaten by (assumably) Google+ ? Seems just a tad optimistic there.

For those that don't know bugs entered on BugReporter will feed directly into the internal Radar bug tracking system. And I highly recommend following the format and most importantly providing clear, step by step instructions on how to repr

I don't know why I'm bothering to respond to such an idiotic statement but: 1) Apple is a huge contributor to open source (WebKit, LLVM, OpenCL, GCD, LaunchD, ZeroConf, CUPS just to name a few). 2) Given how much of a sad joke "Linux on a L

I have to agree with this. The biggest reason is the separation of your "work" and "home" lives approach. BlackBerry is the only device on the market to do this in such a cohesive way. And it gives this impression that Blackberry is the onl

Other way: Finder->Sidebar And add your computer or individual hard disks to the sidebar.
