Meh lame, tinted contact lenses are actually used to protect eyes for medical reasons or by people who don't want to wear sunglasses.

And the transition contact lenses are coming: https://www.cnet.com/news/contact-lenses-that-darken-in-the-sun-fda-says-yes/

Yes, people most certainly did notice the difference. And this is far from an isolated case, it is merely one of the more public.

I hate crap touchscreens. Haven't really had a problem with them on dedicated devices like phones, tablets, etc.

I do think putting a touchscreen in something like a car is borderline irresponsible. There's some promising work being done with haptic touchscreens, but it's early days yet. https://www.cnet.com/news/tanvas-reunites-touch-with-feel-using-refined-haptic-feedback-ces-2017/

But there's really no substitute for a dedicated control surface.

The hilarious thing is that all of this is completely unnecessary.

Firstly, it's of questionable value anyway. I have seen little evidence that Farook wasn't acting pretty much alone. Even if the unlock his phone, they'll probably just find he likes ISIS on facebook or follows some well known twitter accounts.

But more importantly, all of the data on the phone would have been backed up to iCloud, which Apple does have access to and was willing to turn over to the government.

But then some muppet in the FBI changed the password

Yeah, these are really the kind of geniuses we want deciding how companies should write secure software.

And forget taxes, Apple should use some of their $18 billion profit (for a quarter!!!!) and pay their workers in China a decent wage. Seriously, it works out at just a few percent of their profits.

is what the nbc site gives as code, someone might fix it i dunno

CNET has an article suggesting alternatives, and the Google so long and thanks for all the fish notice suggests using Google Takeout to get your data.

I read another article which suggests Feedly, RSSowl and NewsBlur as other alternatives... and also that feedly has been quick to capitalise on this, and has put up a guide to migrating from google reader to feedly

Fact is Wikipedia is better by far for checking most things , where its inaccurate or wrong you can simply check other sources which are all linked in and out of the site ( which you should do for all information) . and because of the way Wikipedia is edited it will be much more up todate. Its also the case that Britannica has errors in it but it takes them longer to update due to there 15th century method of editing.

if britanica want to not be useless as a company then they should focus on making a on-line Encyclopaedia that's specifcaly for scientific papers and documents or focus on a very very very small subset of things but make them far more in depth and more media rich.

The way Britannica tries to act as a mature service with the guy saying "oh jah wiki is good for factoids " is a joke.

http://news.cnet.com/2100-1038_3-5997332.html

The single reason why Wikipedia PISSES on Britannica is that its so accisable you can get up an artical on ANYTHING and then from that artical you can get a good overview of the subject ( maybe with some things wrong). You can then Google very specific things ( using your overview knowlage from Wikipedia) or go on Amazon and know what to type to get very specific books on a subject.

Begun, the culture wars have. And brands are realising they can't stay neutral - (see the Komen debacle).

Ha. The best part is the last line where they ask him if he's wearing a JC Penney outfit - you can feel the cogs turning quickly in his mind.

Ok, I'm sorry, I got about halfway before I had to stop otherwise I would have chainsawed my own ear drums.
Sorry, I don't really buy it. CNet wasn't owned by CBS until 2008. And even then the suggestion that it's some sort of conspiracy by disney or whoever to spread the use of file sharing seems really far-fetched.
Whenever I'm confronted by something like this I always ask "What's the profit motive?" I don't really see the end game for the content producers here.
Exec A: hey let's distribute file-sharing software and then people will pirate our stuff without paying for it!
Exec B: errr, ok. How does this make us money?
Exec A: we'll sue a bunch of poor people for millions. They're bound to pay up and the negative publicity won't impact us at all.
Exec B: riiiiight. /backs away slowly
Frankly, I think it's far more likely that cnet, zdnet and so on were tech web sites run by tech guys whose owner hadn't a clue what they were doing. Meanwhile the tech guys were just doing what every other tech guys did and hosted the popular software. I can't actually credit the studios with that much understanding of the technology. "Never attribute to malice what can more easily be attributed to incompetence." Frankly, if anyone in the content industry were even slightly less retarded, they'd have done what valve did ages ago. When we get the movie/tv version of steam, this problem will largely go away.
a good question to ask climate change deniers.


Um, yeah, he did explain the motive:

a) You get heaps of traffic to your sites in the first place to get the file sharing software etc.
but mostly
b) You can then go to the law makers and go 'Look how many people are illegally downloading our content, you MUST allow these hugely heavy handed and insanely over the top punishments to go through'... 'Well, before we thought it was just those 'fringe' elements, but you bring forth a compelling case of this becoming mainstream... yes, let's give you these insane powers'.

It does make sense. They didn't like these people pirating their stuff, but it seemed to be too 'small time' and 'limited'. So, let it slide, and even actively encourage it, until it becomes mainstream enough that you can start jumping up and down and get laws passed that give you far greater powers than you otherwise would have had.

He is annoying to listen to though, I'll give you that.

He also has an over-inflated sense of himself if he thinks that his video will single-handedly bring about a stop to SOPA
