At my last job IE was declared the "most secure" because my boss read an article sponsored by Microsoft that compared browser security. Yeah...seriously.
I wish we would build corporate browser based apps with AS400-esque green screens and menus. I cant count the amount of resources that have been dedicated to accidental click disasters and the reworking of overcomplicated UI controls for applications that are not customer facing.
It is not eye candy it is aesthetics. One of the main reasons people paint their walls and decorate their homes...so they don't subconsciously make themselves miserable and detract from their creativity and quality of life. It is utility with more than physical purpose. Crawl out of your mom's basement for a while and visit the homes of good people...perhaps drive something a little better than an econobox and experience inspiration.
Windows 8 (the tiles UI) is by far the best UI available these days. Microsoft hit the nail on the head with their new design. From the first day I used a Windows Phone it flowed perfectly and was very easy to use without losing any power and I found myself missing it after moving to an S5. Anyone who thinks the new IE interface or Microsoft's tiles UI is ugly or less of a UI than the alternatives is just a hater. Something about the cleanliness makes me feel like I have more power for some reason. However, Microsoft did abandon accessibility with thier new UI and I wonder why thye do not have a high contrast theme for Office 365--that is very annoying to me and a show stopper for people with bad eyes.
Vivaldi certainly looks and feels good. The ascetic design alone appeals to me and means a lot when you have to work something as much as we do a browser. Chrome and Firefox have lost their appeal to me. I use Firefox for general browsing and use Chrome for applications. Chrome is crap-shoot whether I am going to be able to access some sites/applications because of their security model. For a week or two I will be able to access Manage Engine (hosted) fine but then for a month straight I get a message complaining about the certificate and it will not display the page (the protocol acronym escapes me right now).
First thing I notice about Vivaldi though: I right click a link and open ion a new tab and the new tab is brought into focus...I'm a power user, I am opening that to read LATER!!
Does it violate their terms of service? Dig up the terms of service and if they say that they will protect your information then it is a violation...numerous lawyers will help you for free.
"they're taking a black-list approach, rather than identifying the security hole that the hacker tool exploited in the first place?"
I think everyone is mind numbingly in a thoughtless black-list approach. I used to work security at a college where I would perform application risk assesments, penetration testing, network analysis, and so on. The help desk, for which I was tier 3 (contacted me when they couldnt figure something out essentially), was constantly removing "viruses." I would have to get involved with removal sometimes because I understood the nature of the various malwares and how they would get a foothold in the system. Anyway, after doing this a few times I would talk with the users trying to get an idea of WHERE they got the virus by tracing their browser history and interviewing them. A majority of the time (mostly academic types) thee people were just on popular news sites like MSNBC or whatever. Their browser history often backed up their stories 100% and these people where not in a place to be browsing privately if you know what I mean and they were not savvy enough to clear their tracks anyway. I always felt the root cause was the most important aspect of removing malware but my boss and "colleagues" never gave it a second thought..."oh...you got a virus...lets try to remove it" was the extent of their thought process.
The judge does not want to make a ruling that would set precedent for preserving the privacy of medical data as information the government does not have a right to...a ruling that would eventually be overturned in another case loosely related to medical privacy...like this one.

Loigitech MK 270...best Logitech available. $29
Pretty much the general profile of an infosec...no programming experience, and a meager grasp of infrastructure.
Well....the network (internet) is the computer.
I would sometimes invoke that theme just to stare and wonder for a bit...never saw anyone use it.

Are you OK?

There was no flat look in the 90's. Everything was always drawn in 3D perspective...horrid...but it seemed to make sense at the time.
Ever heard of Foxit?

"Use internal devs who know the app inside and out"
Not a realistic option. Devs move every year or two.

This all reminds me of those crazy scenes in robocop or skulls with dangling spinal cords.
The heart has a neural network.

"The burden of proof would be on you to show that your former employe"
blah blah blah...the burden of invoking arbitration and whatever the costs of that would determine your automatic settlement.
Welcome to the real world.
Thank you.
Yeah.

Then we would all be quivering balls of fear who would then kill eachother by expressing some other fear derived personality trait.
Aggression is a result of fear...someone push this retard down some steps already.
