And didnt nuke this cancer in the bud :)

Wow market forces have never ever been wrong, have they?

So now facebook is the new google, extremely minor changes are finding place on tech news sites.

Is facebook really technology? From what i can figure out, its a place where people spend 700 billion minutes a month playing farville and mafia wars.

I'd rather have all the facebook employees working on something significant, like i dunno, developing software for the space missions, or heck, even search engines. Search engines are awefully complicated - facebook is just a photo album with lots of cookies to track you.

At what point do we realize that people wasting time on such sites is as big a danger as say, drugs?
When's the war on facebook ?

I'm sorry- but that's the worst buying advice on this page. Android doesn't even support http proxyies - and hence is utterly useless in most offices and universities.
 

Maybe apple just doesnt care.
The PC division is clearly not the main focus of their new strategy, all they want is handheld dominance.

It would have been every fanbois dream if apple used their growing power with iphone/ipad to defeat M$ with their OSX sales but i doubt if Jobs wants that.

Identity theft is only a real problem in civilized places.

More seriously, i wonder how many of the prison inmates here in india are able to speak english. If people who went to english schools and have had 'accent-training' programs and what not speak so horribly, how can petty prisoners be expected to be fluent?

Happy birthday Linus!

Are you asking me what school I went to or what kind of planes I like?

I'm assuming school. I went to Embry-Riddle at first, hated every second of it with every fiber of my being. Transferred to Purdue, had the time of my life, and learned a hell of a lot more too.

Stopping the shipping of free CDs is a long overdue but unfortunate move.

CDs were absolutely the only way to obtain a linux distro for me, and canonical's generous free shipping saved me(and countless others in 3rd world countries) by providing the discs.

However i have seen enough rampant abuse of this, so much so that i would rather see a few thousand people unable to use linux because they cannot obtain CDs than canonical shutting down because of the greedy unscrupulous jerks.

Its not just about real-time monitoring but also collecting data.
Knowing the complete medical history will enable far diagnosis.
Everybody is different and this data will stop doctors from generalizations and treat patients based on their past data and actual deviations from /your/ average.

Yes why dont we all stop using hospitals as well.
If its your day to die its your day to die.
Asking for some-one's help to save your life is for sissies.

I can monitor my laptop's fan speed all day long, but cant do so for my heart, which is /much/ more important than a replaceable gadget.

Can someone please tell me where exactly free speech ends and defamation begins?
Is sarcasm defamation? Is questioning the reasons for the existance of a political organization(like in this case) defamation?

Coming to this case.. the comments were made in a forum which was intended for this very purpose. What next are they going to do, jail everyone who was a member because they are associated with someone posting a nasty message?

i _am_ a native hindi speaker you insensitive clod!
