Amazon accused of remotely wiping punter's Kindle

Apple has the same TOA.....

While we may not have all the facts of this specific individuals story, what is important to keep in mind is that Amazon is not the only corporation that has this kind of power written in thier Terms Of Agreement. Apple has the very same power to wipe all your content and cancel your account.

This is one of the biggest inherent problems with trusting all your content to these companies clouds. This is one of the reasons I created my own cloud. The technology is not as hard as most would think. The biggest joy is having control over my content and not relying/trusting these huge companies to manage your personal content in one-on-one personal approach.

I stream all my music/video content from my home server using Subsonic and also have file access using homeserver provided address.

Remember, You lose power/control when you give power/control to others. Don't be mad at them when _shit happens.....be mad at yourself for making that choice.

Ay caramba, Ubuntu 12.10: Get it right on Amazon!

The start of a dying OS?

This kind of forced injection against the wishes of its users, is THE opportunity other Linux based distros have been waiting for and can take full advantage of.

Ubuntu users are NOT novices or the general public. They ARE quite capable of backing up their data, wiping the OS drive and installing a completely different OS. There are other choices available.

Makes you wonder who the Twit is that thought this would be a welcomed feature. Must have been a bean counter. Well the person who decided to implement the idea should be fired today.

Air China passenger arrested for in-flight phone abuse

Passengers DO NOT OWN the planes. Buy/Rent your own if you don't like the rules.

Regardless of what any individual believes, when asked by an employee of the airline to comply with a request, they must do so. If you don't like the idea of this....its simple. Buy or rent your own plane. When your actions/choices could affect the lives of many others...your self serving attitude does not take top priority.

The number of ignorant fools who think they are above established rules/expectations is growing exponentially.

Just wish there was a place we could send people like this guy. I'd like to see how they survive on their own and in their own society when they are responsible for themselves. I have a feeling chaos would ensue.

On-demand streamed music services compared

Re: I use MyCloud. It's actually my own large music colletion...no fees...no ads.

fyi. SubSonic will also run on your main desktop if you don't yet have a home server. It will work with Macs, PCs, etc.

You may be interested in what it takes to have your own server. It's really not that difficult and an old pc will do the job just fine. There are some free server OS options, but you can buy MS WHS2011 for around 50.00 and you get a web address with no annual fees.

I've got an Atom powered ITX board, 2gigs Ram, 4T HD storage. It's been running 24/7 for over 3 years now and no failures (knock on wood). I do regular backups to an external drive as a safety backup.

one last note....SubSonic allows streaming of your videos in addition to your music collection.

It's just a pretty cool solution for people who prefer not to use Pandora like services.

I use MyCloud. It's actually my own large music colletion...no fees...no ads.

Using SubSonic, I'm able to stream my own music collection (+20GIGs) to my phone (Android), tablet (Xoom), work computer or any other web connected device. I have a WHS at the house and run SubSonic service. Setup the Port and just go to my WHS site and add the specific port to the address. I can login through a browser or simply use the app to stream days of music. Any new music is simply added to the server and thus available to me anywhere.

I prefer not to use pandora due to ads and even though I have some decent local stations, the random play feature does the job for me.

No need to upload my music collection to some companies "Cloud" service. I just created my own cloud.

eBay frets as right to resell comes under scrutiny

Re: By inference

"Land of the Free" is becoming more a more a pathetic joke within this nation's borders.

While I live in America, I've had the opportunity to travel quite a bit. I always chuckle to myself when I hear Americans brag and pump their chests that America is the freest nation, yet in truth, it is really one of the most restrictive. Rather than respect others choices....many wish to control the way other americans live and believe. They even try to dictate to those outside it borders...and yet it has millions who are poor and hungry within its borders. America has become a country without character and resolve. It relies more it its payouts to countries to buy friends/alliances. It's overwhelming transparent and cheapens the character of this once great nation. The UN is overrun by corruption and special interests...yet the US chooses to continue to play along as if there is nothing going on. Turning a blind eye to these kinds of issues will bring this country down even further in standing and respect. Sure other leaders smile and shake the hands of US Leaders, but don't fool yourselves into thinking it changes once they exit the room.

My key point is American needs to focus on cleaning its own house before thinking it knows what's best for other nations. Give them some credit, as America is one of the youngest nations and is heading towards another period of civil unrest due to "Redistribution" beliefs of its current leader.

Steve Jobs is STILL DEAD

Enough !!! BS is overflowing here.

Cook said "one of the greatest gifts Steve gave to the world is Apple".

I would think Steve Wozniak would have something to say abou that, since he was one of the founders and actually the one who designed/build the first Apple.

Woz would have something to say about the BS.....if he had the ego that Jobs had. I'm sure Woz is more than happy to let this kind of public BS continue, rather that try to educate the Fanbois on reality.

Anyone remember the Atari Game Breakout? Just google "Steve Jobs, Wozniak Breakout" and learn who was the REAL programer and genius behind Apple. Steve Jobs was the Salesman....and a very good salesman, but that's as far as it goes.

Re: Why?

I think this can be related to IT and any other postion/career.

The point is:

NEVER jeopardize your position/livelyhood for the benefit of someone else just to be nice. First reflect on whether the proposed actions would conflict with company policy first. The girl should really be mad at the employee and herself, not the owners. The employees are the ones who broke established company policy.

This is a lesson she should not forget anytime soon and it clearly communicates the company is serious about this policy.

Time to grow up kids... or start your own company and run it as you wish.

Apple weekend iPhone 5 sales miss forecasts

The real question is.....how many ISheep are out there only to be counted in the popular group?

Seriously though,

The whole situation is kind of childish. If you want to own and IProduct and have the money...buy it. It's your choice to enter Apples walled garden. Just understand there are other individuals on this planet that will not be interested in owning one. There are many reasons for this...but they will be personal choices and should not be taken as an insult to your decision.

Just make sure you fully understand that Apple runs a closed ecosystem where you are helpless and restricted to their every whim. You do not even have the choice to shop for content from another market places. Android OS allows each individual owner to CHOOSE on their own.... if I want to allow downloads from other markets other than Google's market. There are at least six markets I can choose to purchase from.

You should also know that Apple also had 100% control/right to wipe all the content from any IProduct and any ITunes account at their discretion and you have zero input on that. It's in the ITunes agreement. You should read it.

Publishers, Apple bend over for EU eBooks probe

The only loosers will be the consumers. Price fixing now or two years later is still Price fixing.

"The offer, if accepted, would hold good for two years. The parties have also offered to suspend "most favoured nation" clauses for five years."

So the offer is....I won't manipulate prices now....but I will later. WTF !!!!

"The parties have also offered to suspend "most favoured nation" clauses for five years."

This is the biggest joke of the day IMO. So the generous offer from Apple is that....we won't do it now...but after a couple of years....its back on. Whats the point of this? If its wrong now...then it will be wrong two or five years from now. Apple is one of the biggest monopolies around. Try and get content for any IProduct without going through Apples store. You can't. Apple users will have zero options to shop from other less expensive vendors.

Any one who thinks this offer is NOT an insult....is a fool.

Ding dong, the Ping is dead! Apple brings in Facebook for iTunes

Re: Apple believes all its followers will eventually comply as history has shown...

"Resistance is futile"

Apple believes all its followers will eventually comply as history has shown...

IMO

You really don't have a choice as long as you continue to stay in the controlling relationship with Apple.

Re: More to the point...

You may need to verify that you actually "purchased" that content or just leased it from Apple. You may have to just divorce Apple and be happy getting out of the walled garden with just the clothes on your back.

I don't know if its been confirmed and I haven't taken the time to read the Itunes agreement, but since I don't own any Apple products or use any of their software....I'm content watching from the outside.

Apple: You'd want hi-fi streamage from us, not poor-people Wi-Fi audio

Re: DLNA codec problems

No problems experienced in my DNLA connected network. I've got an LG Smart TV and have been able to stream videos, photos and music from my server for sometime now.

It's unfortunate that many of the clueless consumers out there will think Apples created a new technology and shell out hundreds of dollars to be the "First sucker"

There are so many options currently available...that Apple will only be able to market to the ISheep. But since Apple has been able to sell the same products again and again to the same sheep....I guess Apple profits will continue on. Hey, a fool and his money are quickly parted....Apple knows this and feeds on its own IFools.

PASS. What a joke. Seems Apple also wants to re-invent the wheel and patent that too.

I just hope manufactures don't start drinking the Cool-Aid. No true Audiophile would take Apples sales pitch. Considering Apple limits the max bitrate in Itunes. I've used DNLA for my movies and music and its is more than meets my needs/requirements. No true Audiophile would take Apples sales pitch. Considering Apple limits the max bitrate in Itunes and online storage limits and charges.

Anyone who doesn't already have a central home server/storage solution...should be looking into how affordable /flexible it is.

I have zero use for any Apple products and will never own one.

PayPal co-founder sells out of foundering Facebook at VAST profit

Re: Foundering?

Its users are its product, If you really didn't know.

FB has THE largest pool of potential consumers in one place. Any company wanting to market to a select group can easily hit them through FB targeted ADs. This is how all online marketing is done but when you have customers that are constantly logged in.....you have a greater number of opportunities to market to them.

Just think....how many hours per day is the average FB user logged in? That's a marketing persons dream situation.

Now, as more and more people get tired of the FB routine...then FB will continue to loose its edge/value to marketers AND investors.

Australia on path to social media regulation

Re: Sadly

When will governments learn....You can't please everyone all the time. The idea of regulating whats on the internet is just dumb. In today's worlds of "Free Speech" you either agree with the speakers statement or think it a fools rant and choose to ignore the level of ignorance some people spout. It's still important that we as free people allow those who we feel are idiots...to express themselves. We can simply choose to ignore them. Ever heard the song "Sticks and Stones, but words will never hurt me...." I think its time our governments gave us more credit to self govern our own lives and they just need to focus on national security and ensuring we the people have a voice in whats truly important to the country as a whole. I don't see the need to censor the web...I will just not visit those sites I have not time for.

People make choices every day on their own....we don't need governments to protect us from this kind of stupidity. Unless the governments think its citizens are dumb fools and can't think or choose for our-selves.

When did self-reliance and self-responsibility cease to exist or be expected? Soon governments won't trust us to wipe our own behinds.

Buzz: iPhone 5 arrives September 21, demand 'unprecedented'

Can you say.....Addiction? Apple is the drug dealer and its hooked millions of zombies

Any twit can see that Apple has created an ecosystem of control and it's millions of users are salivating over the next re-incarnation of Apples last IProduct even before the specs are known. Well, I guess not the millions of ITwits realize it.

Apple has successfully created IProduct fashonistas and I give them credit for that. It amazes me each time I see an IProduct user and how blinded they are to the fashionable prison they've willingly entered.

I guess the old saying.... "A fool and His/Her money are quickly parted" holds true...especially if Apple has anything to do with it.

I'll just keep watching from the outside thank you very much.

Best wishes.

What happens when Facebook follows MySpace?

Really?

Well.....

Google's Picasa web-albums works well and you can choose to use Google+ or not. Family and friends can still comment on each photo if you'd like that.

My questions is.......Why would you give the responsibility of your memories and data to anyone one else but you? Setup your own home server (I have WHS1) and you can store and display/share any number of your family photos using any number of free ad-ons. Just setup regular backups of the server as well. You can use a back-up service for your WHS or do your own and store your backup disks off-site.

There is even free server software you can get and use any old computer you have laying around.

With your own home-server...you can store all your families documents and digital content...and access it using any phone or tablet. Make your own Family Cloud.

Just think how important is this data to you....and how important is it to companies. Not everyone is a quick to give "Control" over to a company whose sole mission is profit.

No reason to mention the IPAD (Ver 1,2, or 3) as that's like comparing a small car with a bigger four-door. Built for different purposes and buyers needs. Although Apple is NOW building a smaller version of its product, even when Jobs balked at the idea years ago.

How about what the Nexus gives you that the Nook did not....camera, gps, compass.etc. How about the Samsung Note? Come on man. Make an effort at least.

Geezzzz. Good thing I don't bother counting these reviews towards my own purchases.

Apple fails to block stolen iOS in-app content

Nice to just to know Apple has a thorn in its side at the moment.

Apples current ongoing ecosystem is the most restrictive in existence today. You can't even load their OS on non-Apple hardware, thus preventing Hackintosh's.

Where's the DOJ on this companies huge anti-competitive MO? Obama must get millions from this company.

No skin off my nose. I'll never own an Apple product. I wouldn't even accept one as a gift.

'Young people don't want to become like us', say IT pros

Todays youth are the "E-Generation". E of course stands for Entitlement

Most of the kids today don't know what work is. They want to play and be entertained all the time. I know of two boys that play games most of the day and have mentioned more than once about being a game programmer. Yet both boys are barely passing school and seem headed towards a life of manual work and a lifetime of dependence on their parents. With the new US health bill allowing children up to 26 to remain on the parents healthcare....seems the US government just doesn't understand the idea of children growing up and being self-sufficient. Children want to be given jobs that they like and don't understand the reality of how life really is. The kids just want to have stuff done for them...since most mothers still treat their children like babies. I know, because I was married to a woman who was more interested in pleasing the boys every whim over being a responsible parent/adult and focus on raising a future responsible citizen. There's a time and place for work and play. Kids today don't get that...yet.

I consider today's youth the "E-generation". E of course stands for Entitlement

Kodak's using bankruptcy to rob us of our rights – Apple

There will NEVER be a knock out ir IPAD Killer......The IPAD will just fade into the crowd

While the media LOVES to through around the pharase "IPAD Killer" or some other form of sensationalistic BS. Anyone with a decent knowledge of technology knows that the media is just spinning crap to get readers. The reality is that no tablet will have the same fan-fare that the IPAD has garnished over the years. While we all know that the IPAD was NOT the first tablet on the market, we also know that Apple succeded in dummhing down the produc so any child of 5 or older could easily navigate it and buy product through ITUNES. Apples REAL money maker. Hey when IProduct users only have one market to shop at....you are guaranteed to make loads of money.

What we will see in the coming years are products that provide greater functionality for thouse seeking something more than what Apple thinks you need. While Android has more of a learning curve than IOS, you gain many more choices that Apple allows you. With a full OS on a streamlined tablet...well you gain more functionality than IOS will evern provide. The only option for Apple is to add their OS onto a MacTablet.

MS has just taken matters into their own hands since many manufacturers have failed to provide the hardware many techies desire. Apple does very well for several reasons. ...they control the hardware specs so that their IOS will perform at its peak. Try loading IOS on some other hardware...and it may be less significant..

iOS was SO much more valuable to Google than Android - until Maps

"it is also avoiding having to pay out to someone else for their use."

Not quite, but I'm sure Apple is paying Tom Tom less for the use of its mapping than it was paying to Google.

It was a smart business decision and also was a way to spite Google. Apple does not play well with others..."You're holding it wrong"

Also, since Maps is a part of Android and not an add on...Of course Google doesn't make as much on that one app. This "Opinion" article is comparing apples to oranges. Pun intended.

Personally, I only own Android based products and will never own an IProduct. Just my personal preference. Apple is way to constrictive/closed for my tastes.

'Kindness of America' snapper shot himself in 'act of self-promotion'

Why the delay in filing charges? Come on people. Smarten Up!

"Authorities in Montana are considering whether to charge Ray Dolin over the whole sorry saga."

Why is this even a question? More and more people are filing fictitious stories to create and profit off of these false police reports.

This is as simple as it can be.... ANYONE filing a false police report should have charges filed against them and they should have to pay back the money expended due to their lies. How serious are they in deterring this kind of BS? If your punishment is a slap on the wrist, then why be surprised when the frequency of this increases.

Time to stop being an impotent society and follow through on the expectations for all citizens.

If not, this country is surely headed for an even steeper decline than it has already achieved.

Apple's Retina Macs: A little too elite?

Not surprised as Apples arrogance is only exceeded by its greed.

I'm sure no one in the tech field is surprised by Apples arrogance in demanding such a ridiculous triple price over market prices. We know there will be those Fanboys who will pay. Apple is the drug dealer/cult leader of the tech world. Once you start down the Apple road...there's no turning back. Your locked into dealing with only Apple products. There are no other choices accessible to those who have only general knowledge. Now for those techies who do have the know-how, they will find a way. Although they risk upsetting the great OZ and a lawsuit will ensue.

I'm just sitting back and watching the sheep.

I wonder if there will be an increase in the Hackintaosh systems out there. Why not just buy a PC/Laptop with similar specs and install Max OS X on it? If your really using it for work, then who cares if its got the trendy apple logo on the cover. Posers of course will avoid not being part of the tech fashionista crowd.

Re: Going in the wrong direction. - Apple is the sheep heard of weak-minded fools....IMO

" All flash integrated into the laptop (without having to replace parts) is the future as long as vendors can support it."

Flash drives are of course the future. They existed before Apple integrated them into the Air, but Apple's choice is to limit your options. Apple builds into their products...a dependency on them and them alone. Just price out 8 gigs of ram from Apple and the same memory from Crucial or NewEgg. You pay at least twice the cost when you buy from Apple. Apple makes HUGE profits margins because of these controls and the consumers constantly having to buy a completely new product (MacPro, Air, etc.) from them if you want any kind of upgrade. PC manufactures provide more flexibility in upgrades and options. My point is that some of us are NOT ok with working with what tools Apple or any other company thinks we need to do our job. As intelligent and unique individuals...we know best what we need. Apple thinks you don't even know how to hold a phone....what else are they NOT telling you. Sheep.

Re: Only us geeks care about OS versions

Ah, there are ZERO other options. Apple has successfully played consumers in to believing that Apples controlled/restricted environment (aka Prison) is the option they need. Who cares if you don't use FB...Apple is telling you that you DO need to join the sheep herd.

Reality is that most general consumers are dopes and have zero clue about what options are out there. They just follow Apples lead and gleefully accept what Apple thinks they should have and how to hold the phone :->.

Re: Harvard

Agreed, but you won't see any lazy POS Americans seeing that point of view.

American continues to want the wealthy to take care of their lazy asses. I'm not wealthy, but what I have I earned and paid for. I paid for my education and paid off what federal loans I took. I bought my own house without any outside/family assistance.

I think the biggest problem with this nation today is the lack of self-responsibility and lack of self-reliance. Heck Obama and his cronies want parents to keep taking care of their children...even after they should be self-sufficient and self-reliant (allowing kids on health-insurance up to age of 26)

More and more today....the lazy and inept have incorrectly talked themselves into thinking they are entitled to the rewards of others.

More likely...America's bruised ego

I think a lot of this is more about Americas bruised ego. Who in their right mind would leave the US and reject US Citizenship? Count my father in that group. He turned down US Citizenship when He was moving from the US to Canada. For anyone who has traveled the world...or even to Canada...they understand that the world DOE NOT actually revolve around the US.

For such a free country (as touted by many Americans even today), I find that the common US citizens are lying/fooling themselves. This country is moving more and more towards a government ruled society. Mostly due to lazy people who would rather the government take care of them....than being a self-sufficient/self-reliant person. This does NOT apply to ALL in the US, but there is a rapidly growing number of people in this group.

America was founded by people who knew that an individuals success was solely based on their own work ethic. Todays lazy POS just want to take the easy route and let the government take over where the weak parents left off. If I were wealthy enough...I'd be leaving this sinking ship as well. Americans need to stop lying to themselves and face up to the reality of their current situation.
