I am looking forward to a wider release of google glass for reasons like this. I can't easily jump into my pocket and pull out my phone to film a cop without, probably, getting shot but to be able to have it ready to go with some sort of motion/voice activation... will be so great.

Why is this on here?

What is defined as work? I code for fun. I code at work. Where do we draw the line?

I never understood the fascination with Helvetica. It looks nice, sure, but there has to be more to it than that.

This is great security for what it is. Probably enough to keep you 98% secure.

Which is still exactly 0% secure as far as I'm concerned.

All in all though - in general - I'll be more than happy to continue using iMessage and feel at peace. As a general rule, however, never send anything electronically that may screw you over later.

Exactly. I stated above that it is a user's fault for not keeping up to date and making poor technology choices.

Yes there is. Buy a new computer. That is how Apple works. If a user had a problem with that, they should not have purchased an Apple product.

Users are responsible for their own (possibly poor/uninformed) choices.

No, customers leave themselves vulnerable.

How would you use this? I'm racking my brain trying to figure out what this would be used for. I just shared my vagrant file.

Thanks for posting this. Better than, you know, the Twitter post that is already posted.

> Countries that have extremely fast, cheap, and accessible Internet have made it a national priority to do so. They don’t listen to companies who think they can make more money by keeping speeds down and prices up.

I think it has to do more with the modern world building up their infrastructure much later than the United States did. Late to the game, in this case, isn't bad since you'd be using newer technology. The United States (government and corporations) that built the infrastructure years ago don't have a reason to upgrade. People are forced to continue using it.

> Who’s fault is the current lack of competition?

Government. Businesses have only one reason for existing - maximize profits. They will do anything to do so, which is great! But the problem is the "anything" portion.

I've come to the conclusion that, unfortunately, government regulation is necessary. For example, look at China and their lack of pollution regulation. Cities in the US might have got to that point if it weren't for regulations (in the 70s?).

Another problem that isn't covered in this article is the, generally, uncaring public but that is a rant for another time, I think.

>It’s cognitive dissonance at full strength. I feel you.

This is only temporary for now and from what I was reading from other sources [1], Google may go back to court with the MPAA. I don't know how to feel about this.

I'm sick and tired of retail outlets anyway, especially video game outlets. They were the only game in town for distribution until digital made every one of them obsolete. I would not shed any tear if all of these places were to die out.
