The first tablets from Microsoft around 2000 had Windows XP tablet edition installed. They all had excellent pen input, and they had plenty of screen real estate. Despite all of the badmouthing they've gotten over the years, Windows tablets actually got the handwriting thing right. And yet nobody ever gives them credit.
The one thing she doesn't tell us, any where at her site, is what DMCA notices she has delivered to the sites at the links.
It's one thing to ask Google to take the links out of search results. But the links would become a moot point if she delivered a take-down notice to the site hosting the infringing content (assuming the site complies, of course). But then again, maybe that is just the point-- it's easier to send one DMCA notice to Google and list all the infringing links that Google shows in the results of a search, than to issue take-downs to hundreds of sites, only to see new sites the next day.
At a glance, she doesn't seem to be very competent at rooting out piracy. But then again, she only has one film to her credit at IMDB.com, so she must not be too competent at writing, producing, or directing, either.
And thus, she has all this time to obsess over piracy.
Imagine if we used this same logic to gun control. Oh, wait...
Haven't we been told by Law Enforcement for years that if we have nothing to hide, we have nothing to worry about?
Seems what's sauce for the goose is NOT sauce for the gander...
So, they find you owe more than you are allowed to, and they confiscate your vehicle.
Now you can't get in to work, because they impounded your car.
Now you lose your job, and have to allow your house to be foreclosed upon.
Clearly somebody did little thinking about the ramifications. Or they thought about them and decided to ignore them.
I'm sorry Jay-Z. But I respect music.
You are, however, missing the point. (Just like Taylor Swift did with her rant against Spotify.)
People have respect for music. But we don't valuate it as high as you do. And until you understand that, you'll be chasing the respect chimera.
Does Bay Area Rapid Transit get their trains on time? If not, maybe they should focus on that first?
For the police to consciously, for a modest gain in time, to thwart my legal constitutional rights and to break encryption, shame on them.
The likelihood is that MS responded to many Excel community requests to make data entry easier for some sorts of data, such as dates, and so Excel now "senses" a date has been entered and converts the data to its default date setting.
Excel is used by many organizations for many purposes. You need to at least be aware of how the software functions. Otherwise why are you using it?
Sheets app for Android; OpenOffice or LibreOffice. (Not sure if they share similar issues.)
Click on the square above row 1 and to the left of column a to highlight all cells, then right-click a cell, choose format, choose text, OK as many times as needed to get out and get back to the sheet.
Why is a major undertaking like what BMC Bioinformatics was doing not being entered into a database? Use the right tool for the job, and Excel is not the right tool for this job.
I can remember when, a few years back now, I found a site that had a picture of something I wanted made for me, and when I tried to right-click the picture, the site had some javascript or something running that caused a pop-up to appear telling you the images were copyrighted.
I knew how to work around it, so I did. It took a bit, but after trolling through the code, I finally found the link for the image, made sure it worked, and passed on the link.
The idea that you would go to such lengths seemed far out of proportion to the degree of protection it actually offered.
More importantly, the site owner and designer decided that it was more important to "protect their rights", and changed the way a browser is designed to work. I mean even right-click and choosing back was disabled.
Technology is designed agnostically so that it works best for everyone who uses it. You're pounding your copright square peg into a technolgy round hole when you do this.
Guardelay? Vandermay? Wait, is this a scheme involving At Vandelay?
(sigh)
Clearly many of you do not even know how the device operates.
If you are taking a picture or capturing video, it will be obvious either through hand gestures (taps and swipes to the right side of the device) or voice commands. You could have it set up to take a picture by way of an exaggerated wink, bu you still need a tap to get it started.
I have found that it's easier for me to tilt my head back and say "OK, Glass, get me directions to [insert address]" and let it give e tur-by-turn directions via the device and not my phone. (With earbuds in my ear, I don't have to worry about noise from the road, vehicle or music interfering.) The map only shows up just before an intersection or turn, so it isn't overtly intrusive.
While I am driving, with just a tap, I can have it read a message or news story to me. Admittedly, the stunted voice of the computer is a bit jarring. But my ears are on the story, and my eyes on the road and traffic.
Maybe the problem with Glass is that people just don't know enough about how it works. If true, then perhaps the good folks at Google should spend more time educating us about what it is, and is not, than admonishing Geeks to not be Geeks.

"In a letter signed by Steven Tyler of Aerosmith and music attorney Dina LaPolt (and echoed by like minded artists like Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Sting..."
This is theater of the absurd. None of these artists have had any release of note in this millennium.
I would like to invite them all, in the immortal words of Barnabus Collins, to repeatedly press their lips upon my posterior.
In the lawsuit, it is mentioned that "In addition, Prince has suffered and is continuing to suffer damages in an amount according to proof, but no less than $1 million per Deffendant..."
However, it fails to mention that he had suffered and is continuing to suffer damages to his reputation at his own stupid hand.
Haven't we been told in the past by judges, lawyers, and the police that ignorance of the law is no excuse?
I think the reporter got it wrong when he said Hayden was talking about Snowden as "likely to become an alcoholic who was 'isolated, bored, lonely and depressed'". Hayden probably said that because of Snowden, Hayden is likely to become an alcoholic who was isolated, bored, lonely and depressed.
It's all in the semantics!
Stop destroying the bands I like.
Say no to music industry accountancy.
