    Facebook Solves A Crime

    So let me get this straight. When the police ASK THE VICTIM if they know the owner of the truck, and the victim goes and looks them up on facebook, that's somehow shitty police work? No, wait ma'am, don't pull out that smartphone! Leave it to us, we'll canvas the neighborhood and start the...

    Nearly 13M Hit With Identity Theft This Year

    That would be shocking, if it were remotely true. Identity theft is an act of fraud. This article is about exposed records.

    Texas Warns IBM of Outsourcing Contract Failures

    Anything IBM is a bloated world of horrible crapware. But, why wouldn't it be? The slower it runs the more (IBM) hardware you have to buy, and it's not like you can just leave IBM. Once you're infected with IBM it's either a full recoding of your software or more IBM.

    Gizmodo Works with DA in Lost iPhone 4 Probe

    They knowingly received goods without the consent of the lawful owner. That is theft or receiving stolen property, depending on how the DA wants to push it. They then revealed trade secrets, violating the Uniform Trade Secrets Act and documented the entire thing on the Internet for all to see.

    PCs Beat Apple in Summer Price Wars

    I love the idiots who claim "build quality" as a good reason to spend 3 times as much on a laptop. Nothing says a good deal like a durable turd.

    StarCraft 2 to go 3D in Post Release Patch

    Why does it have to be an advantage? Lots of gaming revolves around graphics, and for those that like 3D graphics the game looks better with properly dimensioned levels. The game is already rendered in 3D, all they have to do is do the rendering at two slightly different camera angles and they...

    Tesla's IPO Speeds Past Expectations

    And how big is the $100,000 toy market? There's something like 10M millionaires in the world. A company with a market cap well under $1B is tiny in comparison the the market.

    Foxconn Is Installing Safety Nets on Buildings?

    You're still missing the point though. What grouping of people could 800,000 factory workers WOULDN'T expect to have a similar rate? Factory workers 18-25? Definitely will find suicide there. No-collar labourers? Suicide is normal there too. East Asians? Well, they have lots of suicide too...

    Foxconn Is Installing Safety Nets on Buildings?

    Nice theory. Except 1 problem. Starvation is a direct result of financial position. Suicide is not. Rich people commit suicide. Poor people commit suicide. Young people commit suicide. Old people commit suicide. Mental or physical health issues, drug problems, and relationship trouble are the...

    Introducing Hulu Plus for $9.99

    Pay to see ads? No thx. Pay to only see the current season? No thx. I'm sure this is gonna compete real well with the HD, add-free, no-cost, no-limitations options that currently exists.

    Foxconn Is Installing Safety Nets on Buildings?

    You're missing the point. The suicide rate at the Foxconn factory is no higher then the average suicide rate around the world. Somewhere between 500,000 and 750,000 people kill themselves every year, aside from the attention-whoring media there really isn't a story here.

    That requires an intent to intercept personal communications. If I were to walk by with a radio that just happened to operate in the same frequencies no laws would have been broken.

    Google's Street View Wi-Fi Data Included Passwords

    Google utilized their wifi? Last time I checked they were simply sitting in a vehicle, on public land, being bombarded with a one-way stream of information being purposely and openly being distributed by a private individual. Are we also going to make laws against over-hearing or over-seeing...

    A Night at the Foxconn Factory

    Kind of hard to claim the Americans are the "working poor". The working poor are the hundreds of millions of people who built China into a manufacturing Juggernaut thought hard labour in the late 20st century, and they, and their children, are enjoying the same rapid increase in standard of...

    Foxconn Increases Size of Raise in Chinese Factories

    I don't know... The only union job I've worked consisted of doing very little, getting regular raises, and knowing the management couldn't touch me. They do suck for the ones that are stupid enough to work hard at a union job though.

    Foxconn Increases Size of Raise in Chinese Factories

    You're so goddamn lazy that you think 60 hour weeks (Which, BTW, is much less then many Americans do, and yes, many of them standing) is cruel or torture, and you apparently didn't even read your own quote. Oh God. Happiness and satisfaction are subjective?!?! WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT. What...

    U.S. Has Most Serial Killers in the World

    What's this you say? Things that cost money are more prevalent in wealthy countries? I bet you would also find that richer nations have more food, housing, cars, gold, diamonds, and pretty much everything else people want. Mainly because that's the definition of wealth...

    Wikileaks Hiring Lawyers to Defend Alleged Army Source?

    Amazon Cloud Uses FedEx to Ship Data

    I'm thinking you're going to need credentials anyway. I somehow doubt they're just going to accept a harddrive mailed to them. Most likely you get some kind of unique key through your Amazon account to tag our box with.

    You're obviously far to slow to understand the simple concepts of wealth. These people have become vastly more wealthy and had their quality of life vastly increase.

    Foxconn Increases Size of Raise in Chinese Factories

    Just because you're so god damn lazy doesn't mean that's how the world works. 10 years ago these people would have been working 14 hour days doing hard manual labour on a family farm for a fraction of the income. You're a moron. Try going to China and telling them you're working to "free them"...

    World Cup Fever Sends Net Usage to Record Levels

    I think America should adapt 180dB airhorns as their fan instrument of choice. I'm not a fan of the game, but it's pretty obvious that SA's "instrument" is nothing but an annoyance. I'm sure drowning out the players and the coaches is great for the game. :rolleyes:
