itsmillertime4u··on Microsoft is phoning home the content of PowerPoint slides
No they run in isolated networks. No classified DoD networks have any access to the internet.
itsmillertime4u··on Teens Aren’t Partying Anymore
I think you are right with this too. I several friends and coworkers which are afraid to let the kid ride their bike through a neighborhood, play ball in the field, or roam the mall with a parent present. I'm starting to see this starting to flip though as more and more kids are having cellphones, which seem to give the parents more insight on where their kids are, and give them an avenue of getting hold of them when they need to.

We got them all over the DC area, and they are mostly microbreweries. Most don't serve food since they don't have a kitchen or a license for that, but they often times have food trucks outside where you get your snacks.

They have a branch here in the DC area also, but the can't handle any money there, and are there for more of a presence to help with financial wealth planning.

These reviews and blog posts that he does isn't how makes a living. He has a full time job that he makes a living from, and he does this website on the side (he mention's this in his About Me section). He also gets many of the items he reviews direct from the manufacturer for free in return for his review. He does also have ads on his website, but luckily there is few of them and the few that they are aren't annoying. His website and reviews are great and I'll give you that, but I assure he does not make a living from this site alone.
itsmillertime4u··on Apple refunding all purchases of Peace
The device has to be a 64-bit CPU though. So if you load iOS 9 on an older iPad or iPhone, then you will not get this feature.
itsmillertime4u··on Ask: Can an app survive without push notifications?
I actually hate notifications and turn them off on just about every app that has them. They are attention grabbers that often take me away from other important tasks at hand.
itsmillertime4u··on John McAfee for President
Yeah I'm 99% sure that's a green screen video special effect. The origination of the backdrop I don't know but I can assure he was not in that room when the video was recorded.
itsmillertime4u··on Like Airbnb, but for algorithms?
This has to be one of the worst analogies I've ever seen. This business model is nothing like Airbnb. It's more closely aligned with something like TemplateMonster, eLance, or oDesk.

I see no way you can rent out a algorithm for a business use and lease basis..which is what Airbnb is.

Other then that this I see the reason that something like this exists. Creating accurate mathematical formulas is definitely an art in itself that not just anyone can do.

itsmillertime4u··on Automakers Trying to Prevent Hackers from Commandeering Cars
The problem is that doing so removes the ability to do the self parking, or doing something like the remote kill switch that they can invoke in case the vehicle is ever stolen.

Me personally, I know how to park and particularly care if my car is stolen..that's my insurance companies problem. So I could live without both of these features, but you can see how some would argue the opposite. I'm sure there are other tie ins, I'm just can't think of any other that as obvious.

itsmillertime4u··on Why we maintain desktop apps for OS X, Windows, and a web application
There are many iOS apps that I wish had equivalent apps on OSX, but sadly they don't. Ones that come to mind are Netflix, HBO Go, Amazon Video, Amazon Music, etc.
itsmillertime4u··on What Twitter Can Be
I'd gladly pay for premium API access as a Twitter user which would then allow me to use third party apps.
itsmillertime4u··on Introducing Hello
Wow...this looks like everything Google Voice does only with a prettier interface. I sure wish Google would put more resources towards Voice rather then trying to merge/replace it with Hangouts.
