  2. Re:I wonder how much of this will go upstream? on Ubuntu Asks Users To Pay What They Want · · Score: 1

    I agree this I think is just another way for them to make revenues. Just like Fedora thats red hats way of giving to the open source community but it's basically to pacify cause it's not real red hat.

  3. Re:What the fuck on Steve Ballmer: We're a Devices and Services Company · · Score: 1

    I think Microsoft is lacking in direction that's why they need Gates back. They would have owned the gadget market if they stayed on the track they were on with the Xbox and Xbox 360. I mean now the Xbox is most popular game and entrainment system on the market by far. They needed to have same mind frame with gadget market and they dropped the ball. Bring Back Gates.

    NFC is a technology that allows data to be sent over very short distances. For mobile devices, the protocol allows digital wallet applications to transfer money to pay at the register. While the technology has been slow to take off, despite the adoption by Google for its Wallet payment application, a number of recent high-profile announcements have boosted its adoption.

  19. Re:FB shares on Mark Cuban Blames Himself For Losing Money On Facebook IPO · · Score: 1

    I predicted FB stock to fail I mean the company was hugely over valued and after the linked in stock did so well a lot of people that missed the boat on that stock though they would try there hand at FB stock.

    I know a lot of educational institutes do not take Wikipedia as a source for any factual papers because of the way the editing process works. I have found good information on the site but fact checking is an important piece.

  25. Re:No surprise on UPEK Fingerprint Reader Software Puts Windows Passwords At Risk · · Score: 1

    So basically if you entered the windows password you were unsafe. The fingerprint itself was safe it was if you had a windows password entered you were insecure as mentioned "UPEK stores Windows account passwords in the registry "almost in plain text, barely scrambled but not encrypted." The fact that 16 major venders used this software kind scary. Some places just use bio metrics and no windows password in that case you would be safe.
