Ignorance is not bliss. You can't claim not to have knowledge of something and not suffer the consequences...

I have a bad feeling that one of these days we will lock ourselves out of our own accounts...

This is substantial when you consider that a few years ago GM has been losing money on each car they sold. I believe it was something like $200 per car...

I think you are taking this personally when you really shouldn't. I love Top Gear, and I watch it purely for entertainment value. I doubt anyone purchased any car based upon their recommendations or takes them seriously when they &quot

This is largely due to the manufacturers. "Americans" don't decide that a 5-series is luxury, it's the manufacturers. You can't buy a BMW or Mercedes without all of the bells an whistles. You can't even buy man

I've read many complaints by EV owners that state the range really isn't nailed down... it's usually "it depends". Something as simple as temperature changes can cause the car to lose many miles range. That being sa

I think this is true for most new tech. Being an early adopter means that you will encounter SOME problems that will be fixed later on.

I see nothing wrong with preventing the publication of the exploits UNTIL they are resolved. If the company responsible for the security system does not want to resolve the security vulnerability, then they should be published. Even though

I feel like if we were to implement this on our ecommerce site, we would loose millions. That said, it does have potential for displaying saved credit card information in a nice layout. As for the input, the standard forms that we grew used

The problem is that most researchers are employed. The inventions are thus property of their employer.

Volvo is not the only auto manufacturer to do this. I believe that Mercedes and Bosch do this too when their technology can considerably help the safety of the cars on the road.

Fearing someone for organizational reasons is different than the fear I believe he is referring to. People may fear him due to the power he holds on changing people's lives with the information he controls and has access to.

There was a similar discussion on HN a few weeks ago regarding a similar issue about ISPs buffering the CDN (I think). I dug up a link that I saved: http://mitchribar.com/2013/02/time-warner-cable-sucks-for-yo...

Well, you're paying for the middle man. They setup and main the infrastructure for persons that are not technically inclined and for whom it's not feasible to hire a coder to do it for them.

There is a lot of truth to this statement. I've seen so many jobs that are looking for .NET coders that pay so much more than most other languages...

One thing that a friend in management (on the technical side) said that he felt least secure in that position as it meant that he would most likely be fired first if something happened at the company. Also: Because he was a manager for a fe

I don't have an iMac, so I can't say :) But seriously: IMO, that's where the market is heading.

I'll buy this once there is wide adoption. I would like either a Bluray player or VLC to support this.

In all honesty, you may not get a chance to leave for your second home when such a situation arises. Poor mans solution: keep in touch with family in other nations.

Is it just me, or am I missing the point of this article. I have yet to meet a person that is embarrassed to make money. Everyone wants and needs to make money, because without that fundamental goal, nothing else in the business or venture

I don't think most people will design a cnn.com on a regular basis or from the ground up.

I am imagining a layout similar to an ipad, just for a larger monitor. Apple is slowly moving their desktop OS to a mobile-like experience.

The hardness doesn't mean that it won't break or crack. The only difference is that in low-impact situations it won't scratch as easily.

I love this concept, but I can't help but think: If apple releases the next iphone with an hdmi compatible connection, that would eliminate the benefit of this, no?

I doubt you can "join" PRISM. You're forced in.

I love how the tech community promotes something until it's over used and only AFTER everything breaks then we THINK about how / when we can use a technology...

Also: Your website is hard to navigate. I wanted to see how much it costs, and I couldn't find a direct link. I clicked a buy link and then subsequently found a "go green" link which finally allowed me to see the product. Jus
