David Ulevitch is one of the nicest people in Tech. Couldn't be happier for him. This is great news

Folks are getting really carried away with this type of thing. If you curse out a cop, you're probably up to no good and you will be harassed or detained. If not then you're an idiot. Why curse out a cop? Why?

Crime could possibly get worse with the consequences of this recent anti-police sentiment which isn't really fact driven but an availability bias drummed up by the news, social media, etc.

By injecting excessive bureaucratic checks in the manner in which police keep the peace, we're putting a hurdle in front of their ability to provide it.

It doesn't matter whose debt their defaulting on. They will be suspect borrowers for decades to come. They'll have a harder time getting loans from any country in the west or east. Their business and government infrastructure will suffer the consequences from the decisions of this current government. This will end badly for them and the ramifications will last decades.

If you don't believe me ask an Argentinian.

Um, no. You can't change the apple ID email if you're using apple's email. I ran into this problem myself.

I signed up with a nickname email when I was younger. For example teenager@mac.com. You can later make an alias like John@mac.com. But every time you sign into iCloud, or write a new email on your phone, it's gonna default to teenager@mac.com.

It is a really bad issue for people that use apple's mac email exclusively.

And I can sympathize with the article. If you're divorced, and you change your name, you have to sign into iCloud with your ex husbands name every time you sign in or send a default email. You can't change it.

Well that's a bigger conversation.

Is it a coincidence that this story appears the same week the senate renews the patriot act?

reminds me of this article I loved about how Facebook is the new myspace

Now this is the type of thing that's fun to see, I feel like this story's gonna be mentioned in the next freakonomics or Gladwell book. Good for the FDA, they should be congratulated for doing something good. And this is good.

That was so well written and so sad, I literally started crying at the end of it. Goddamn, it's a reminder to live it up while we still have our health.

this guys music sucks and is worth about 30 bucks in royalties in a quarter. I see nothing wrong with this. The musicians can make millions or consumers can listen to everything for 10 bucks a month. I prefer the later. music is the worst business ever. You have no pricing power and you're competing with all music that's ever been recorded. if someone made a record 50 years ago and died, they're still your competition. ouch bad scene.

Very good point! how did it make the front page?

Not enough differentiation, give us some other channels, live news, or broadcast TV and we'll buy it in a heartbeat. Otherwise your features are surprisingly irrelevant.

This is mostly bad news for Roku, before this, the paradigm was, Apple TV for iTunes, Roku for Amazon. During the holidays there were so many roku photos on amazon, I thought they owned them. I think Amazon will slowly strangle Roku. Amazon probably tried to buy Roku, they declined, so they said, "fine we'll make our on device and crush you" Typical Amazon.

Rule of the news, is there a question mark in the headline title? The answer is always no.

I emailed my best friend's dad who is a retired ER doc and Harvard grad, this was his response...

"We already do this with CPR survivors. It is not clear that it is helpful. It is logical, but as you know logic is the great deceiver."

He's literally made the world a better place

He also fails to mention when he's bashing the quality of the Tesla that it was ranked by consumer reports as the best car of 2014. As well as motor trend's car of the year in 2013. The stock might be overpriced, but the Tesla is the only car that has non car enthusiasts talking. My Father in law and my mother, two out of touch folks both wanna get a Tesla and can't stop talking about them. There is serious consumer demand waiting in the wings for a cheaper Tesla.

Perfectly stated

Surprise surprise, he's saying something about peace and happiness again. I think the Dalai Lama's personal brand is getting stale. He should start shopping at JCrew.

LEGEND

There's some bands like wilderness survival(http://www.wildernesssurvivalmusic.com) that have always given away their music. Perhaps, this is how things will work going forward.

AdamWong, you are exactly right!

Surprisingly, just heard a song that I loved on it, http://open.spotify.com/track/6cZ1tXMm5BaYQzddgcY7W9

What if this whole story was a lie? What if it was the hacker's final attempt to steal the @n twitter name.
