An "Infosec" vendor that no one knows and cares makes big prediction about how future hackers would kill you with compromised Internet devices. You need protection! We offer it! Remember our name so we stay relevant!
I would probably consider this news (that is in no way interesting and informative) if this prediction is made by Symantec, McAfee or Kaspersky. Put some obscure "IID" here and it just smells so slash-PR.
Isn't Bitcoin's FLOPS number just an estimate, and a grossly inaccurate one based on the wrong assumptions that there's a single formula for estimating FLOPS with just integer performance, and the formula's applicable to all platforms?
The fact is, Google is not struggling because the Great Firewall or because the government makes competition hard. Google is struggling on their own regards and only by themselves. They seem not to be able to justify their existence in China and doesn't seem to offer Chinese citizens what they want.
Hmm, it only takes one paragraph to tell that you're talking out of your ass. Have you ever tried to use any Google service from China? Do you have the faintest idea how long does it take to load one page of search results, or how often does the Wall reset all connections to Google from your IP for one full minute, for some censorship filter was triggered by the most ordinary and unoffensive search terms? And these things are not exactly good for business.
It was a mass DNS poisoning for the outage in China, at least for me. All subdomains on google.com were deliberately resolved to some random IP allocated to South Korea, and a hosts file quickly fixed it.
From my first hand experience: Wrong. Internal networks of many Chinese educational institutions are total hell with all kinds of worms and trojans roaming around.
"Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence."
Actually only the best are exported, and in China "export quality" is a synonym of top quality goods. Domestic customers get only the second-class products and services.
Maybe I'm gettting nostalgic... but I really can't get comfortable with the new layout. Is there an addon bringing back the entire pre-4.0 UI of Firefox? Or most of it if not everything.
Perhaps the UI designers would say that this shiny new thing is more efficient at browsing pages or whatever... However I just don't like it.
Also: I get Bing in my search bar after the upgrade. Removed, but what's that doing there? Did Mozilla get paid to put it here?
Authorities have made it illegal for Internet cafes to serve minors under the age of 18,
And the last time I went to a internet cafe I was given a vaild ID number of someone over 18 along with the name associated to log in when I explained that my ID card's missing and a new one is not yet available. Didn't even bother asking me to give my number - guess they do the same when the minors come to play online games.
Who needs to reverse engineer the Google's search algorithm when you can simply copy the results? Read the Google accusation again and it didn't even mention anything related to reverse engineering. Why is the "industry" always so silly?
It's InfoWorld. What else could you expect from a website that inserts shitty inline advertisements in the articles and splits a short story that fits well in one page into three pages?
No government is stupid enough to throw someone into jail just because he made some calls through some cheaper operator which was only recently declared illegal in some obscure announcement.
I read this as: like cancer, C++'s stronger and much more powerful than its old host; taking all the nutrition and grows bigger and bigger at mindblowing speed; changes (mutates) quickly and spreads to everywhere expanding its influence. Unfortunately all these things come at the expense of C and other languages.
Exactly what Liu and other public intellects did. And they all ended up in jail, regarded as state enemies just because they said China could change and do better, with some other ways.

When? Electric shaver hasn't been something exotic for us since, say, 2000?

Looked at the title... Thought it was correct and the $1.9 is just a token payment.

Should this be called "digital slave labor"?
Seriously why these idiots get elected again and again?

Yes, it's quite hard to believe that...
iPhone's actually coming to China Mobile - currently iPhone is exclusive to China Unicom in China.
Ever heard of UAC?

The latter part is quite fascinating...

Man, that's simply too disgusting.
Damn, can't resist the urge.
Your plan has a hole: is it really that easy to tell the difference between compressed hard drive and other metal scraps?

Three Russians, a Chinese, a Frenchman and an Italian-Colombian walk into a Mars capsule and can't get out.

Look at the brighter side - there're no dangerous animals and agressive natives to worry about!

Such things happen every day, every time.
