Comment Dream much? (Score 1) 81

Whether or not you are a fan of Apple or thinness in phones, this is no more than fevered speculation about something two iterations away. Either this is clickbait for dreamers or it is a new low at attempted insider trading. Glenda the Good Witch says "You have no power here."

Comment End of trial period? (Score 1) 93

Could it also be that people stay longer after their 90 day "trial" or "warning" period is over? Since most contracts these days are terminate at will, maybe they need to also look at the contributions and worthiness of the trial period rather than add bonuses. Don't get me wrong, bonuses are great, but if the sticking point is the 90 day wait period, why not remove that?

Comment Careful with this one... (Score 1) 266

The poster says he was contacted by someone who says he is the hacker. Nothing was confirmed about AppleCare involvement, though it is a possibility - especially if the hacker knows his victim. But the best part? The INSANE posts to the original article: Death threats from "Navy Seals", tons of homophobic comments and hatred for days. Oddly, very few were able to respond directly to the original post since the comments were so ridiculously incendiary. Sadly the adage still applies:Think before you post or you are toast!

Washington, D.C. Police Affirm Citizens' Right To Record Police Officers 210

dcsmith writes "Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police Department Chief Cathy Lanier says, 'A bystander has the same right to take photographs or make recordings as a member of the media,' and backs it up with a General Order to her Department. Quoting: The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) recognizes that members of the general public have a First Amendment right to video record, photograph, and/or audio record MPD members while MPD members are conducting official business or while acting in an official capacity in any public space, unless such recordings interfere with police activity.'"

Comment Nope, just weird (Score 1) 302

I have a concern about this, but can't address it because of the hypocrisy: Odd to have the government so deeply concerned about invasion of privacy when they have implimented numerous policies that greatly curtail it. Now if Chuck were interested in pointing fingers at both groups, we might have something...

Comment They clearly don't search their own data... (Score 1) 500

...because if they did, they might remember a little incident of assisting the chinese government with its great firewall. And those pesky others? Coincidentally competitors. For a company with such deep search capabilities, they are amazingly blind sighted when it concerns themselves.

Comment Uneven response (Score 0) 356

How we react to this should be independent of our feelings about Stratfor. I recall a breaking at a a certain hotel Watergate which upon discovery, had drastic consequences for its perpetrators . Why should we stop to congratulate these guys for breaking in any organization?

Comment Not all peaches... (Score 1) 427

Yep, without clear guidelines we only have warm fuzzy 'good intentions". Those don't show on a resume. Nor does an extended indentured servitude. There are possible good perks here, but the practice of it outweighs them. Anyone here have similar experiences with grad school? Med rotations? Let the intern beware...
