This may sound petty but happens quite often on this blog. I wish the authors when referencing a name that could easily be confused with something other than a name would add "Mr" i.e. instead of discussing an international story involving Amsterdam. It would be Mr Amsterdam.
Such an odd story it was as if my grandparents wrote it. Wasn't there people out there saying who needs Hi-Def I'm never that close to a tv. Or why bother with 1080 480 is just perfectly fine.
The post kinda sort of round about gets to the point but then still misses it. People like 3d tv they just don't like the glasses lack of material etc... 4k TV's make a huge visual difference. However few have yet to see an actual 4k tv plus the price starts at like $12k so no it's not about marketing. There are a few issues that need to be resolved before a discussion as this article insists...on marketing occurs and as this article implies we call this technology dead.
Holy Hell!! I live in Oregon one of the many states that Vegas style slot machines are illegal.... Can I get a swat team to visit me should I design any portion of any software used for the production or tabulation of slot machine and gaming used in Vegas???
Senator McCain and other Senators are calling for the launch of an official investigation. Into the recent movie portraying CIA operations falsely. Claiming the CIA fabricated lies in an attempt to mislead the Producers and directors of the recent Hollywood movie.
Yet you then look at all of the recommended regulations that crash investigators have urged quick passage of. Such as screening mail, putting baggage and mail etc in containers that would contain a bomb or fire or the 101 other legitimate proven safety practices like requiring rest periods for pilots etc that continue to get ignored.
Ironic that a case about illegally copying something resulted in illegally copying "Someone"
Further ironic in that Identity theft has less of a fine than the duplication of a file. Yet actually harms and takes something away that costs real world legal action and costs to get back.
As previously mentioned and by other experts. The long long security lines are now more of a target prior to screening than being submitted to being searched etc... Just imagine how air travel will look should no one want to ever stand in a screening line again after an attack that would kill more and create more fear than a much more difficult hijacking.
Furthermore once you make it past security minus razor blades or nail clippers. Look at what is on an airplane. Pop-cans that can be opened up to create razorblade like weapons or hundreds of other objects
article doesn't exactly say how widespread or on what computers the virus was found. Was it just one computer or whole network was it limited to the secretarial pool or drilling and other critical infrastructure computers.
This is like complaining about an employees email that passed through the corporate network. Yes the email might have been offensive illegal etc.... But since it just passed through and even to this day has no way for either the creators or others to use it to do harm to Chevron then uhm..... I'm sure an occasional Chevron handles dynamite does that make him a terrorist because he handled dynamite but never used it for other than intended???
Symantec released the ability to scan and identify on July 13th 2010
Microsoft offered a Stuxnet patch Sept 15th
Personally I think Not only Chevron but all industrial and infrastructure computers should be secured off the net.... And made to accept only secured recognized files and such.
Microsoft overcame this problem by assuming everyone was legit unless proven otherwise. Basically meaning if it cannot connect to the server for any reason you can still use the said program. But once upon connecting and authentication fails then your deemed unworthy. What this also means is if someday they don't want to enforce or decide to shutdown the authentication server no one is cutoff.
WB just announced sales where at an all time high. They are now imposing a limit on the numbers of copies a person can buy. For fear that all those darn sales might result in a copy being rented.
Furthermore only the top one percent are allowed to view their movies. Those that can purchase not rent a movie.
Another worry is that a demand for toys and other promotional products might increase if you watch their movies.
The story is a bit worse for two reasons. The Democrats on the subcommittee forced a vote right then and there that any rules being enforced to remove him be waived. However they where voted down by the higher number of Republicans on that committee. (not taking party sides I'm just saying) Also he had indeed properly applied for and did the proper paperwork to be allowed. However the chairs staff kept going back and forth saying he was approved then maybe not etc...
In a interview today Fox who was removed claims the results of the scientific studies are being skewed via a manipulation and appointment of favorable scientists by this same committee.
Imagine if the patent system worked like this....Dear patent Troll it's amazing how much your patent looks like something seen on episode xy of Star Trek glad to see you had time and money to patent it. Too bad you never actually figured out how to build it nor sold or intend to sell XY product.....meanwhile I've been in a cave for the past ten years surviving on a diet of Red Bull and Cheetos. I had no social life and still wish to meet a girl someday. Amazing how you showed up out of no where...only after my parents sold there house to help pay for the first run of my X product and only after my sister slept with a producer on Oprah to get it featured on her show. If only my inheritance from my grandparents death that was spent on doing a patent search had discovered your patent. It would have saved me nine and a half years of making the damn thing work.
P.S. One question why did you change your patent to appear more like my invention only after mine went to market???
