That was an older test with who knows what software load? Here is the same test done by EuroNCAP with a model X (same Hardware v3 as Model 3) and look how well it does. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2Fx7Hp2zACGmg%3Ft... It only hits one of the dummies that popped out from behind a parked car and even then it slowed down. The difference is in the time between October and December last year there were software updates for the Tesla. It gets better and smarter with each one. How many updates to their pedestrian collision avoidance do you think the Camry or the Malibu got during that time?

Listening to everyone here talk about all the IT administration benefits of VDI I am reminded why most IT organizations are so out of pace with their businesses. Not that the enhanced security, control and back up are bad but the cost in end user and business agility is simply too much. Need too roll out video conferencing on the desktop - sorry too bad (I know there are some exceptions), need real mobility - sorry too bad, need to install some new system that doesn't play nice in VDI - sorry too bad. What if you want to access outsourced or hosted services, now you have to ride back to your server, then ride out to the internet or VPN, all in all not a good solution for majority of users.

Why would any user voluntarily give up the features, and freedoms of local computing just because the IT guys say it makes their job easier. The answer is they won't. Thin will remain where it is now a very effective niche solution for basic application access. The future is fully functional multimedia mobile clients with access to secure services provided via your own data center or some outside cloud provider, not a wyse terminal.

Netflix? Are you listen as MS kills off that piece of bloated junk. I never let Sliverlight touch my Mac, and so I was forced to watch Netflix streaming on my inferior windows laptop. Do you you know the pain and anguish I felt as I tried to enjoy my netflix on the lenovo's screen? My eyes have slowly melted.

So Netflix, please move all your web base streaming to a nice non MS standard like HTML5 based players or Flash or anything that keeps my machine free of extra players.

Thank you, your humble customer

I'm an IT Consultant, and I've had plenty of experience working with the Federal government. I can tell you first hand, the word consolidation is not something they like to hear. You see the Federal government employees I've worked with don't care about saving money, in fact I have seen just the opposite, they care about spending every last cent of their budget (but not going over). IT operations at the federal level are difficult to consolidate too because everyone has a very small change purse, rather than one large wallet. So they operate and purchase goods and services like a million little small businesses rather than consolidate into one IT Services purchasing power house. Finally you have the people angle, never mind the usual politics of fiefdoms and control, the mere mention of reducing head count upon completion of a consolidation project is very taboo.

So good on industry to try and show them the way to operational efficiency and savings but I would be shocked if it were actually implemented. A project like this would take a decade at least, or 2.5 terms, so I just don't see it.

Tell that to the Credit Reporting Bureaus that use your data to make money. My money says Telco will simply see this as gravy, and not pass along any of the financial benefit to the customer.

How is it these guys can get away with this?

Where is the user outrage and class action lawsuits? You sold me X and then you remotely turned it into Y and Y

Sadly this seems to be the trend, we are expected to concedes that all electronic devices we buy (a la iphone, ipad, PS3, Canon DSLR, Nintendo Wii) are no longer ours, and we basically have no rights to their internals. We are willing victims, trading our money for their experience rather than the product.

Why have I not heard one person use the B word. Boycott, don't buy the PS3, don't buy their TVs, don't buy their camera, camcorders, over priced laptops or see their movies. Maybe then they will learn that their are financial consequences for their actions even if they seem to believe otherwise.

Not to start a flame war here, but to give my opinion as IT person who doesn't code (scripts don't count right ;) I read 8 different versions of who owns the codes, depending on state, and contracts, even sales tax got in there. Reading all this made me think, wow I would go to elance, find a shop in India tell them I own the code and let them at it. Knowing full well they will probably keep it for themselves over there, while I have full rights over here. Done Simple. Yes it would probably not be as good and would take 2X longer to write (I read slashdot you know), but I don't have the headache that apparently accompanies hiring a local subcontractor.

I have a magic mouse, and apparently we share the same messy fingers, I can report back it had no impact on function whatsoever. You just made me so hungry and its only 11:25.... Now I need a " a great three story cheese bacon hamburger filled with majonese, chipotle ketchup and delicious cheese with deep fried french fries, topped with a cold beer and chocolate ice cream with strawberries and chocolate dipping." Where do I get one!!! Tell me now!!

A Internet Governance Conference in Egypt is like.... Vegan conference at a McDonald. You really expected the UN or Egypt to do something China might not like?

Seriously? A download, installed, and password prompting program is a vulnerability?

That must mean that apple's Remote Desktop is a huge vulnerability. Giving the attacker complete control of the victims system, and the ability to execute remote code! Oh the horror! Oh the humanity!

I pray to the gods of streaming video make Netflix follow suit! I refuse to install Silverlight on my machine, in fact I click on the view now button, just to get the 'install player' message in the hopes someone is watching how many abandoned sessions there are!

I am willing to miss out on part of my netflix service because because of their awful choice of player. If Hulu and now the MLB can stream full length movies with flash, so can you! And I watch more movies on Hulu because of that!
