Dotocm and three others were arrested after an FBI-led raid at the mansion, which he leases, on Friday morning. The FBI is seeking to extradite the men to the US to face charges of conspiring to commit racketeering, conspiring to commit mon

Exactly. I'm sure the New Zealand taxpayer will cover the difference. http://tvnz.co.nz/business-news/20m-rebate-hobbit-in-first-y...

iPhone and double tap font. There's something amusing about reading this particular article on an iPhone more easily than on a computer. Your right, it reads terribly on the desktop computer next to me.

Have you read the article or used the app? Broken is exactly what it is, and it's a Google product. So yes, I'd assume that's exactly what's being said.

I'm forced to use a windows xp tablet at work. Made by Philips. It's so bad it hurts, and every so often you see the cursor appear that is under your finger when you hit a button. It's buggy and hideous. Used once it could put you off Micro

I pay 33% tax. Ill confess to being jealous of your 3.5%! However I support state subsidised education and the various other state funded systems we have (health for one) but yes, they do cost. It isn't someone else's money though, it's min

Costs about this in New Zealand for everyone. State subsidised. Perhaps a touch more. And longer degrees are obviously more. Living costs excluded, although there is a small student allowance to help out.

Making stuff and burying it is very common in archeology according to my (limited) knowledge. Chucking stuff as offerings into springs, holes etc as offerings. Burin it with dead people (anyone under that stone is now 2 dimensional). But I

Your giving me Kodak software flashbacks. The software was god awful. Right from login. New password required every few weeks. Can't be related to your previous one, and the 'change password' button that you had to click took you to a page

I just watched the rugby world cup at a friends house where the TV had a volume bar that honestly looked like a sperm. Wiggly tail and everything. It's not that Apple will get it right, it's that they'll do it less wrong.

He did seem the obsessive type, however given that there is hardware asymmetry (the camera, volume mute etc) I doubt he was.

Yeah. They should have extrodina rily rendered him and tortured the hell out of him. If they can do that to random innocents I'm sure someone as suspicious as this could even be interesting o interview

Not sure if there are more robust bits of hardware about, but my experience of radiation detectors is that they are very sensitive and have to be very carefully handled. And docks tend to be fairly rough environments.

Very good point. Here in NZ much of what I want is literally years away from coming out and paying for it through legal means isn't an option. But paying in the form you suggest is an option. It's annoying to have to resort to illegal measu

Agreed. Although it would be a brave person who thought they could get a better advertising campaign together than Jobs.

Surely someone can find a better issue than this? What about the lack of any option to dismiss the red circle notifying you that an update is available - sometimes you don't want the updated version.

Not that up with US stuff, but didn't GS get money from the government during the AIG bailout? If so, doesn't that give every one in the US complaining rights?

That's clever. The Forbes story mentions the use of google advertising done directly by dropbox, but noted they found it ineffective. However that probably referred to the uptake of paid subscriptions? "They toyed with advertising. “That

You mean "couldn't kill without" I think.

I think that your agreeing with me, but do you know what SODaniel is meaning? Is his/her argument that Apple exploited mature markets? I'd like to understand that idea. Is it somehow meaning that Apple products are for 50+ year olds? That's

It reads well in instapaper! Laughed when I realized why I didn't understand tour comment.

How can you argue that it only works in mature products? The point was about revolutionary rather than evolutionary change. Or am I missing what you mean?

Unfortunately (and without any sarcasm) the answer is yes if youre American. But there are a few more countries where it's ok too. Russia and the polonium saga springs to mind, although responsibility wasn't claimed unlike the UAV hit. Any

And no less scary, 15-40% of the time a civilian is hit instead of the correct target. http://edge.org/conversation/mc2011-history-violence-pinker And given the dubious right of the CIA to hit there intended target in the first place, the

War is becoming much safer. The world is too. Fascinating article on it here. http://edge.org/conversation/mc2011-history-violence-pinker However I'd love to see any evidence showing drones keep deaths down in war. Maybe in the future, bu

I hope that British spellings weren't the basis of the UK search. A fair portion of the English speaking world use British spellings. Not that I'm claiming bitcoin for New Zealand.
