Not when you are watching. If yours is anything like ours they do so when they know you are not around.

Lets not forget that Apple and MS, along with a few others, were responsible for creating the Rockstar Consortium patent troll. This was a further attempt to destroy Google, Samsung, LGE, etc. Companies that they already have attacked directly in the past.

The "more about" link shows that there are no malicious codes detected, etc.
Maybe someone is sending false warnings?

Been on Chrome for about 50 minutes, was on Gmail at the beginning of that. The only thing that was crashed was the chat on Gmail. Have not had a single problem with Chrome.

Re:Study: Teens Think Your eBooks Are Lame, Prefer Actual Books

The thing is these very teens will be seen walking around with the Hunger Games or whatever the recent teen "must read" is. They brag about having read the last Harry Potter in 4 hours. It has become a cool thing to actually be literate in the latest teen book craze.

Re:Enough with the QR Codes
on Monday March 19, 2012 @01:23AM (#3722476)
I used them for a QR code scavenger hunt once and, even in this tech backwards town, got a couple people involved. This was when they were still new.
It familiarized people with our website and our store layout. It also got them asking at the counter for help to find things.
All in all exactly what I was hoping for.

I know of a guy who changes his birthday every month on FB just to see who wishes him a happy birthday. Every single month the same people fall for it.
Re:Apple Isn’t The Only Disruptor: How Amazon Is Killing Publishers

You are going to make me quote Giles (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer):
"Smell is the most powerful trigger to the memory there is. A certain flower or a whiff of smoke can bring up experiences long forgotten. Books smell... musty and rich. The knowledge gained from a computer is... it has no texture, no context. It's there and then it's gone. If it's to last, then the getting of knowledge should be tangible. It should be, um... smelly."
It is true though, things I read physically stick with me a lot easier and hold my attention better then digital reads.
Unless of course my computer was to catch on fire. I am sure that experience would stay with me for a while.

There is still PIPA out there. Basically the Senate version of SOPA. Just a change in focus is all that is needed.

Right there with you. Never was good at creating these, but actually did get that game mousetrap because of this reason.

They used to, but then the publishers forced them to accept the agency model of e-book pricing.
