Haven't read the ESC's guidance document, but clinical trials are going to change drastically in the future. Telesurveillance and telemedicine will become much more acceptable now.

Yep. It's an ad.

Hey... Thanks for mentioning Bookfinder. Seems like a great resource. I ordered a copy myself as well. :)

Hmmmm they're not ALL down. Working just fine for me in India and my friends in the US.

Oh how the turntables have turned...

I thought it was common knowledge... Masa is pretty much MBS's agent.

That's high school chemistry. Surprised people are still getting it wrong.

No, this is completely different. This is a patient group that needs interventions, and the focus of the investigation and the controversy is about the type of intervention... A small stent or a large bypass.

CM's commitment to bringing support to legacy devices is admirable, but they bundle some very annoying, redundant and as OP says unsecured applications with their ROM packages.

CM Account, CM Updater, Movie Studio, File Manager and CM Wallpaper are all apps that I uninstall as soon as I flash a ROM to one of my devices.

Their CM File Manager for one is a totally redundant application that hasn't been updated in a long time, despite being broken (it doesn't work in Super User mode without done juggling about)

Their CM Account is one other thing that I find totally pointless.

CM would be better off bringing more innovative features to Android instead of just copying drivers from CAF and changing headers to say CM instead of CAF or AOSP.

The innovation in the Android ROM community has been coming from Paranoid Android, AOKP, Omni and Slim ROMs, and from the Xposed community.

They've been reduced to being a repo shepherd for certain devices, but most of their user base comes from people running "Unofficial" builds compiled by independent developers.

I think, as a start up, they'd be better off if they focused on features instead of just trying to market CM Phones that essentially run a Nexus like build of plain vanilla Android.

Just install YouTube on an android or iOS phone and use the YouTube TV website on your TV... You can pair your phone to use it as a controller for YouTube TV...

Maybe they'll release it as Facebook Paper... But to be honest, if there's a genuine app already bearing that name, they're better off going with something else...

I think this one's a repost.

I might have used that if it was made by a company like Twitter.... which advertises, but doesn't meddle with the content. But seeing that it's Facebook, most of the stories we see will be targeted towards our 'Likes' and the rest will be targeted ads.

Wow. The ability of people to only see what they want to see is amazing.

So Obama deserved a Nobel Peace prize for running a successful electoral campaign, but Edward Snowden doesn't deserve one for making one of the largest exposés of compromises of individual freedom in the history of the world.

Bravo, Americans.

It's not a PC, it's a bootable USB drive. It's not going to "bridge the digital divide" as it still needs an x86 processor and a monitor.

This is a more practical approach to connecting more people to the digital universe. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aakash_(tablet) So is this. http://m.androidcentral.com/intel-introduces-yolo-android-ba...

I don't know what this company aims to do by handing people who can't afford a square meal a USB drive.... If you guys are on HN and reading this, please stop sensationalising your USB stick and make a real piece of hardware that gets people connected.

Well to be honest almost nobody on Android uses Bing.....

Google search is default, and for those looking for alternatives, there's also an excellent DuckDuckGo app.

Lots of games do that, and that seems to be the only respectable way to monetize.... that and in-game item sales.... but those tend to go too far and then cripple gameplay.

Mobile games have pivoted from being short, fun to play vignettes into honey traps that lure you in and get you hooked to consume your time and/or money.

Every major studio out there makes formulaic bull that basically copies some other schmuck's idea and adds their own "StudioCoin" on top to monetize the game.

Temple Run spawned hundreds of clones, then Candy Crush clones came out and now apparently it's Clash of Clans clones. Everyone from EA to Mobage does this cloning instead of focusing on bringing new ideas to the table. If only they tried to innovate, the crappy studios like King would go out of business.

Indie developers try hard, but it takes a team to make a well rounded game with large scale mass appeal... :/

tl;dr Today's mobile games are time consuming black holes, and once done credible competition comes forth, they're sure sink.

RON PAUL 2012!!! :P

Well, just one more step forward in Britain's unrelenting stride towards becoming a total surveillance state. :/

Once the data is commercially available, it'll be sure to lead to even more targeted marketing, and discrimination by insurance firms.

Edit (couldn't resist :P)

England Prevails!

After making all his Nobel prize winning promises, all Obama has done is systematically break nearly every one of them. Tomorrow is just going to be one more in a long series of disappointments.

Bravo! All human rights violations aside, what the US doesn't realize is that every new drone strike is creating new cadres for Al Qaeda and others to recruit from.

What right does America have to kill a wedding party in Yemen? Indeed, what right does America have to kill any "suspected terrorist" in Yemen?

This is just another example of how the convenience of drone strikes has led to the belittling of war.

The thing is, the convenience of drones has made it much easier for countries to carry out strikes without any regard to the damage they will cause.

In the past, the possibility of your soldiers dying on the ground was a huge deterrent to frivolous strikes. Today, drones conduct major strikes without paying any heed to international borders. Drones conduct missions nobody would have imagined possible a few years back. While there is a huge benefit to the invading army in terms of reduction of fatalities, there is also a cheapening of war that lets commanders order strikes at their whim. I'm sure nobody in the US or NATO armies in Afghanistan admits this, but this happens in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

But unfortunately, it always is. American life, and American citizenship is more precious than any other life.

I know it's not the same issue, but throughout the whole NSA snooping revelations, Americans have only been concerned by the legality of spying on their own citizens. All of us foreigners are fair game.

This is similar. The value of an American life is much more than that of a foreigner's life.

May I present, for your viewing pleasure, a certain Raymond Allen Davis.

"President Barack Obama asked Pakistan not to prosecute Davis and recognize him as a diplomat, stating, "There's a broader principle at stake that I think we have to uphold."

I see that this 'broader principle' doesn't seem to apply to a legitimate diplomat... en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond_Allen_Davis_incident

And yet Raymond Davis went scot free when the Americans claimed that he had diplomatic immunity.

Let's just take this for what it was, a District Attorney trying to gain as much publicity as possible.

The Saudis have been committing graver abuse of their domestic help for years, but nobody in America has had the balls to come out and cavity search an oil rich Saudi yet.

I sympathize with you, but Boeing never had a chance if one goes purely by cost: benefit comparisons.

The only way they could have won this is if they lobbied enough for the Brazilians to look past the significant shortcomings of the Boeing aircraft. And I think even then their lack of cooperation when it comes to transfer of technology and offsets would have sabotaged the deal.

Brazil already has a very reliable civilian aircraft maker in Embraer, and they are looking to bootstrap them into defense through transfer of technology. Boeing never would have done that.

The Gripen is simply the most cost effective choice of aircraft.... It already uses a lot of American technology, so backdoors probably exist, but it is a newer design than the old airframe of the FA-18, and it's easier to service than the Rafale. The IAF had conducted multiple tests during their MMRCA competition, and Rafale, Typhoon and Gripen came out as a equally matched, with some saying that the Typhoon was an inferior plane. In the end, Rafale won the Indian competition because of intense lobbying by the French, with their Premier paying a visit to India to clench the deal.

Saab was very open for transfer of technology at that time, and I imagine it still is, which would be one of the biggest factors in their favour. There have also been some rumors about the less than stellar performance of the Rafale in recent conflict situations which I'm sure also contributed to the deal.

Another example of no matter how much HN headlines change, they still stay the same. :|

Scored 12/20... this bot is good!

However, a lot of the headlines sound like I've read them, even so even if the bot is generating new titles for old stories by itself, it's using the same keywords as the original titles, so it ends up confusing me a bit...
