Credit card signatures are intended to be verified on the spot. That's why the back of the card says it isn't valid until signed. The cashier was originally supposed to compare the signature on the card to the signature made at point of sale to verify the CC holder's identity. https://consumerist.com/2014/07/19/10-answers-to-credit-card...

Of course this doesn't happen, and for good reason too since the signature made on a resistive touchscreen ends up looking nothing like that on the credit card.

This is a somewhat strange story re: "the flu" and I'm guessing that's why it's been downvoted.

The flu is a virus and antibiotics have no effect on it. There is a yearly vaccine for the flu and the CDC recommends all adults take it, although it usually only protects about 40-70% of the time due to the large number of flu strains in circulation. The flu is a deadly disease and even a person in good health (taking vitamins, etc) in the prime of their life can be killed by it, which is why vaccination is recommended.

I think this will have a lot of difficulty remaining faithful to spirit of the original book series.

The original Foundation Trilogy stories take place across quite a few time periods. This would require a different cast for each story within the books. The stories are also focused on dialogue and characterization plays a minor role. Even the space battles are barely described at all, as the main focus of the book is on the broad plot lines created by the concept of psychohistory. There are few female characters and I don't recall any sex in the original series at all (though there was some in the weaker 4th and 5th novels written decades later).

If they are going to try to make this into a typical HBO show I'd expect the main focus to be on the Mule plotline from book 2, the second foundation plotline from book 3, and then the Trevize plot from books 4 and 5 which seems most amenable to TV adaptation.

Windows Phone does this - when paired with a list of specified Bluetooth devices (such as a car GPS or stereo), it can switch to a DND mode automatically with an optional auto-reply.

Motorola seems to have recently rolled out a similar feature across it's entire Moto G/E/X product line - Drive Mode for their Moto Assist product.

But unless these kind of features become opt-out, I suspect it won't help that much. Right now you have to actively seek them out and turn them on, which many people aren't going to do.

The 3DS downclocks the ARM CPU and disables its second core when playing a NDS game. As a side effect, battery life is better when playing DS games on a 3DS than when playing native 3DS games on the same 3DS.

The 3DS processor is capable of emulating 8-bit systems, as it has virtual console NES and GB/GBC games. SEGA also ported some Genesis games to run on the 3DS, but I think they had to re-write parts in native ARM code as straight emulation wasn't fast enough (Google "Sega M2 GigaDrive" for a great series of interviews about this).

I think it will also be free on XBOX ONE

Decimate means to remove 1 out of 10, so a decimated share price would have fallen by only 10%, technically.

Since ActiveSync is a patented and licensed technology, no major manufacturer is going to make a device that falsely claims to support remote wiping but actually ignores the command.

Remote wipe is usually implemented by simply re-setting the hardware encryption key, so there's no easy way to have remote wipe destroy only the corporate data.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124591.aspx says that would actually be acceptable, but they note no manufacturers have created devices that are capable of selectively wiping only corporate data.
