She also gave a lot of attention to vaccine skepticism by making Jenny McCarthy seem like a medical expert on Autism.

Sorry if I misled you. I like it as a horror movie and the Mars/spacecraft scenes as a backdrop look pretty good.

Agreed. I can't imagine how he came upon that method of making a capital "A".

It's a little cheesy, but I like Last Days on Mars for a similar topic.

If people start choosing their flights based on aircraft type, it seems like the airline could just list all flights as the "good" aircraft and then automatically change it to the "bad" aircraft close to the departure date.

Isn't it typical for a lawyer to be held in contempt for not following court rules? Will there be contempt proceedings near the end of the trial?

I wouldn't call it "harvesting" if you have operate power transmitters on each floor of the house. "Energy harvesting" usually means you are using something that is already present in the environment.

"each floor would have one or two RF (radio frequency) power transmitters to powe r up all switches inside the house."

The article says they are powering it using dedicated transmitters:

"each floor would have one or two RF (radio frequency) power transmitters to power up all switches inside the house."

It's confusing because earlier they talk about energy harvesting, which implies "free". But then they talk about how you will need to run these transmitters, which certainly isn't free.

Beeper has been working in this space for awhile - there's no way they would publish an app with a copyright violation. I assume they have a workaround for that aspect.

It looks like Beeper has purchased the software from the person who developed this, but his GitHub repo for it is still up.

He has also created a way to permanently side load apps on iPhone without jailbreaking. I imagine Apple will be working on both of these "problems".

Interesting. I just checked and found the information. It sounds like they want to rebuild the whole app and just add one service at a time. They are starting with just iMessage.

Edit: I wonder how long this will last. They aren't using a Mac to log you into your iCloud account with this. They have found a workaround.

"This is now possible because the iMessage protocol and encryption have been reverse engineered by jjtech, a security researcher."

Edit 2: I'm really curious about this. The researcher has some Python that can run anywhere and let you send iMessages. It seems like something the Apple would shutdown, but, on the other hand, I wouldn't expect Beeper to introduce an app that might get disabled.

I'm confused about this article because I have Beeper, but they make this statement:

"Beeper Mini is a new app from the folks behind Beeper, a unified chatting and inbox app that brings together the best chat apps under one roof."

I haven't heard about a mini version.
