  "Low Level" or "Junior" IT Professionals aren't normally paid $200k salary

  on Perhaps The NSA Should Figure Out How To Keep Its Own Stuff Secret Before Building A Giant Database
  Everyone keeps calling him a "Low Level" or "Junior" IT Professional. He made over $200k per year. That is not the normal pay range for anything "Low Level" or "Junior". It really looks like either he was grossly overpaid or someone is trying to make him look less important than his salary indicates.

  on California Legalizes Some Texting While Driving, Sort Of

  on Game Of Thrones On Track To Be Most Pirated Show Of 2012; Pirates Still Asking HBO For Legitimate Options
  I have practically stopped pirating music. Services like Pandora and Groov Shark fill my need
  
  Same with me. I have subscribed to Pandora for the last two years. Since I got the subscription I haven't downloaded much music at all.

  on Game Of Thrones On Track To Be Most Pirated Show Of 2012; Pirates Still Asking HBO For Legitimate Options
  My opinion: Game of Thrones and Deadwood are the best HBO has ever had. Rome was a distant 3rd place.

  on AT&T Threatens To Cut Off Phone Service For Guy Who Beat Them In Small Claims Court Over Throttling
  I have the T-Mobile MyTouch 4 and it comes with a wireless tethering app pre-installed. There is no charge for wireless tethering, but there does seem to be a charge if you enable a wired tethering link using USB. I don't understand that.

  on New Rules To Block 'Distracted Driving' Will Likely Make Things Worse, Not Better
  At the NHTSA's own web site they have a chart ranging from 1994-2009. The worst rates in all that time was in 2005 which was before the texting boom started. Heck if you look at the stats the fatality rate has dropped since the time that texting has really taken off.

  on VW Will Block BlackBerry Email When People Are Off Work. Isn't That When It's Most Useful?
  TV stations stop broadcasting at 3am every morning
  
  That would be news worthy at 3am in California we get nonstop infomercials. I so wish we just had the end of day snow & tone from long ago. I do not need to "Just set it and forget it!".

  on VW Will Block BlackBerry Email When People Are Off Work. Isn't That When It's Most Useful?
  Different labor laws there than here in the US. It could have been in response to the employees wanting to be compensated for after hours work. Rather than pay extra just in case someone checks email, they just shut it down.

  He even added words to create the point he's trying to emphasize..
  
  He actually dropped an "it".

  Netflix keep on raising your rates and losing studios !!!!
  Awesome News !!!
  
  Actually by splitting the streaming from the DVD rentals apart they saved me $12. I can Red box the DVD rentals I want and still be under the $12 I'm saving per month. Good luck to your friend and his dieing business model.

  on California Wants To Put Jurors In Jail For Tweeting About Trial
  Jurors are not to talk about the trial so there is no outside interference. There are 13-14 people in the jury (including alternates) and all the information about the case is supposed to be delivered by the lawyers and only in the courts controlled setting. No one wants Jurors getting there information from TMZ or from gossiping with there friends.

  Re: Names vs Trademarks.

  on Washed Up On The 'Jersey Shore': The 'Original DJ Paulie' Sues DJ Pauly D
  So, basically, if someone trademarks my name, and I then get famous (still holding out for someone in Hollywood to randomly cast me in the next mega movie), I can get sued for this?
  
  Not sure, but if someone trademarks their name that happens to be the same as yours then yes.

  The police have been using the dashboard cameras for years to record traffic stops. How is that not illegal wiretapping if us recording them is?

  on Irish Hotel The Latest To Sue Google Over Autocomplete Suggestions
  Not really. Since autocomplete is already set to filter sexual terms, they would just need to add these company's to the same type of list. A search would find them but auto complete would have no record of them at all.

  on As Pandora Goes Public, How Come No One Is Pointing Out That It Misled The Press About Being Profitable?
  I've subscribed to their service for almost 2 years now. Well worth the yearly fee. Too bad they will be pushed out of business by the recording labels.
