So they need Chromebooks, something dumbed down that can do everything 80% of our customers want to do, surf and read email. Self updating is nice also.
If there was no breach then there is no need to force a password reset. It's an unnecessary annoyance that does not add security at all. If a hack takes place after the resets the information is still stolen, and now you need to reset it again. This never makes sense to me. It seems like a knee-jerk reaction to "do something so it looks like we care".
I only surf fully sandboxed. Twice in the past four years zero-days told me I was infected. A reboot said otherwise as the sandbox was deleted. There is no reason to surf the web other then virtualized.
Microsoft these days does no separate quality control. Consumers are their QA "team" now. It seemed like a bad move two years ago. It isn't any better today. None of their mistakes surprise me. Many annoy me, like Windows updates changing drivers and settings because MS felt like it. They don't have a lot of capital left in the minds of consumers. Bing maps moving a city into the ocean does not bode well for Microsoft.
I am aware of the CFC excuse. HFC's, currently in use in prescription inhalers, could have been substituted. I don't believe for a minute that it could not have stayed on the market with a propellant sub.
Epi-pen dosage is 0.3 mg of epinephrine. One dose from a Primatene mist inhaler releases 0.22 mg of epinephrine, exactly the same active ingredient as an Epi-pen. There are over 60 doses per Primatene mist inhaler. at a cost of about 50 cents per dose. Several years ago Primatene Mist was removed from the market. Our health care system is now fully controlled by corporations that don't give a rat's ass if we live or die as long as their profits continue to skyrocket, at any cost. Health insurance companies could fight back. But they don't appear to care, as they just raise their rates to cover the excessive and escalating cost of life saving prescription drugs.
Having asthma, and having worked with suppliers of delivery mechanisms during my career, I estimate the cost of goods sold per Epi-pen is about $2 to $3 each. Any figures beyond that are profit. Any higher CGS presented by Mylan, should they choose to do so, are likely accounting techniques where they move ongoing R&D costs onto old and fully paid for products.
The retail price of Mylan's Epi-pen is legalized theft such that Al Capone would be proud.
Western governments are using this technology, often illegally. I doubt that they care what other countries do with it as long as it pads the bottom line of the home grown corporations that sell it abroad.
That makes no sense. Optical drives for computers are about $15 each at NewEgg, on sale. USB optical drive is about $20. CD players for a stereo system don't figure into this thread.
These have been increases in temperatures. This implies global warming. Since we are still at the infant stage of understanding and accurately predicting what will happen over mid to long spans of time it's best to stop arguing, try to pollute less since that just makes sense, and enjoy our lives. Life is too damn short to fight about issues primarily created and controlled by oil, gas, and energy corporations.
Since it's Microsoft buying them, more than likely they want a snippet of the code, and the coders. The rest may just sit and rot since Microsoft is spinning too many plates while juggling them.
Did the FBI allow crimes to be committed simply to make their jobs easier, or because it was the lesser of two evils. I suspect that it's a bit of both. More FBI sanctioned crimes will occur. The trend isn't ending because of a report about it. In upcoming years, we may not be able to find out how much sanctioned crime occurred, as they are likely to redact just about everything to hide their combination of laziness and criminal complicity. It's really a sad state of affairs in the USA these days.
Having more real cops on the streets would be best. I know that the ghetto is the last place Chicago cops want to be. But, that's where most of their murders take place. To curtail murders requires more than a computer program that does nothing actually predictive, only data mining.
Couldn't Adobe put out a web only version of Photoshop that would "run" on anything, if they really wanted to? They would have to have some serious cloud processing power. But, why not?
The first ones are being designed and built by Foxconn with a license fee going to Nokia. I'll wait until the phones are 100% engineered by Nokia before considering one of these "Nokia" phones for purchase.
Subscribers pay for a service. An access charge to let them actually use the service should be illegal as it lets the provider advertise a false bottom line price, while putting the add-on access charge in fine print that many people don't notice. No thanks, AT&T or Verizon for that matter.
The new product will simply be the next generation of console. Sure, you can update it as you please. In 7 years they're bring out the next and, again, "final" version. If it looks like a console...

You haven't been looking for it then. It's even on plenty of cheap ($300) laptops. It's small and might be overlooked.
Canadian football, silly.

AC may have been referring to "the battery of the Galaxy Note 7 battery". That struck me as an odd phrasing to not catch and correct before posting.

I don't like Twitter. However, to state that it's offered in support of terrorism is stupid. It's offered to everyone. It's service is neutral.

I appreciate the irony of a ten year development project being in a "rapid release cycle" at version 0.42.
Facts and evidence rarely change a tin-foiler's belief system. Nice try though.

About 2% of desktop users use Linux. That's about 30 million, not billions.
Apparently with no competent IT department either.

Your sarcasm deserves many up-votes. because it's all too true.
