Or some guy who lives in the same building as Bao (his friend) was used as an actor in a viral promotional video for Backblaze. Mark Bao goes to Bentley College, chances are most of the residents of his building do to, probably even the "thief". Waltham Mass isn't exactly Compton.
We also don't know the circumstances of the "theft", very possible he left it unattended in a public space, and it was more or less found. Plus how was the guy powering it, did he get the charger too? If he happened to have a charger already (highly unlikely) I doubt he would be making films in photobooth, on something he stole when he has a similar if not identical device... Personally I would peg Bao as a guy to have a password on his device too. Obviously the HD wasn't purged if Backblaze was still running.
This whole story screams promotion for Backblaze, it is also the first tag of the article.
I believe XCode (I may be confusing the interface with RunRev Cards thing from a while ago though) has a simple check mark to make window a top most window on Mac. But I'm not sure if they can be scaled. Some of the Logic Pro and Final Cut tools function like this, where they are abovee everything.
Some of us are a little more concerned about privacy to never clear our cookies or cache. If they were smart they would use the same technology HN uses to allow me to post with my Google account, circumventing login completely. I've been an active NYTimes reader my whole life, but I'm not going to make an account when I can read the same article mirrored somewhere else. Which is exactly what will happen when they attempt a pay wall.
They generate income from advertisements regardless if you have an account or not.
This is one of the smaller devices like this I've seen. I am really curious about the photographic opportunities that could be open with such a device. Footage could be directly streamed online via ethernet cable connected directly to the camera...
This is similar to the digital billboard panels on the sidelines at sporting events. There are some augmented reality applications possible with this idea too.
Back in the seventies and eighties before very large TVs having 20 TVs daisy chained together was all the rage to have in your coke dealer mansion.
For anyone who wants to fiddle with development and doesn't know any form of C, a company called Revolution Media makes a scripting tool called LiveCode. It is pretty easy to use but I'm not sure how advanced your apps can get.
Key point everyone forgets in today's IT sector and you said it yourself is LAN. To say NK lacks LANs is foolish, to maintain any kind of the military or industrial operations they have, requires some form of LAN, as do any type of similar thing anywhere in the world. Plus forgetting the internal LAN setups, NK has it's own state run nets used for commerce and operations with neighboring China.
I think American's need to read this article, scale it down, and apply it to their own lives. I love how people think just because you earned a bunch of money you are entitled to spend it on a bunch of crap, whether today or in a year...
They were designing for the wrong hardware, Nokia hasn't had a single device that rivals the iPhone's technical capabilities. With that said Nokia's brick phones have some of the easiest interfaces to use of any device ever, which is a huge reason they are so popular in the developing world, that and they saturated the market.
those pirated copies of windows are probably so dangerous, who knows what kind of malware comes along for the ride, it would be like passing the same women around to millions of men...
a little birdy told me they are just a crummy Lenovo desktop clone, which isn't surprising they are just copies, the NKs are exceptional counterfeiters and copiers
arizona should be paved over as a massive photovoltaic lot. you don't need to live there anyway you won't have water soon. as for questions of putting that energy into the grid, we already do it, just because energy is locally produced doesn't mean it is locally consumed.
Nigerians, scammers, fraudsters, and all other sorts of Internet criminals already do this kind of stuff and have for years. Plus this happens in the real world, it's just called identity fraud. This once again further proves the technological ineptitude of the US Government and it's contractors, this isn't in any way an advanced concept. HB Gary got rooted by a 16 year old girl, what is everyone so worried about?
This is a ridiculous waste of money. What happens when there is a major continental fracture/disaster in the next 10000 years putting the sites possibly thousands of miles in any direction... I know it isn't likely to happen but putting this refuse inside the planet probably isn't a good idea.
Why was he not caught when himself or one of his associates attempted to pass off the chips at the casino, he obviously found out some way they were worthless. I am really surprised the Bellagio cage allowed someone with a chip that couldn't be cashed to walk away AFTER a robbery had recently taken place... The whole chain of events is suspect.
They are leaderless in the fact that there is willing cannon fodder to take up 'arms' at will. The action is similar to a 'pick up where others left off mentality'.
