MS is all about hiring geeks and smart people and Apple is all about hiring designers and marketers: it still amazes me that MS is so bashed on/. and Apple so celebrated.
Apple could be hiring pastry cooks. What matters is their final products.
Experts could be tempted to work for Microsoft, considering the money they can get as a reward.
Indeed, Microsoft facing the Google and Apple challenges hunts the valuable people with expensive baits.
The problem is that this company fails in trying to get the best out of those experts due to an inefficient management.
SSL will be helpful to protect your password against people listening the network.
A key logger on a machine (that belongs to the hotel for instance) is going to act before the transmission is performed and therefore can hardly be prevented. However, if the hotel client is IT aware, it will be easier for her to detect the spy tool on the very hardware she has in her hands, than it would be to detect a distant network device spy.
An hotel implementing a key logger on the computers takes a bigger risk to be caught.
Ideally, one should bring her own laptop and use only authentications via SSL to reduce dramatically the risk of password stealing.
The transition from Motorola to Intel processors decided in 2005 by Apple may be another reason that encouraged Motorola to take legal action later on, when they could.
eh eh:-) Well there was no mention of that possibility in the previous posts...
It is probably obvious for geeks like you, but not for everybody (say, 0.01% of/. readers).
Looks like the ID type of the row in the database was a signed integer, overflowed from ~2 billions.
In this case the problem would be a simple database structure design problem, using the wrong type (with heavy consequences).
On MySQL instead of int, using bigint would have allowed up to the theoretical value of 2^63-1 records.
That would be a valuable addition. Currently, many people rely on the word-completion from the search bar. For instance, one prefers to chose what comes from the propositions, since the results will be more numerous.
With this new feature one can adapt in real time the search pattern to converge towards the desired results.
I agree and endorse that kind of behavior.
However, for the same price, Google gets also a lot of free advertisement that contributes to improve their image.
But I'm not complaining...
On one side, most of the WSJ readers are not IT-aware. They imagine Google viewers to be able to find references to them on numerous web sites while googling. That is true.
But the potential Google privacy interference goes beyond that: Google could perform some data crossing from IP addresses, cookies, web pages, images and exif, map locations, mail, chat, videos, documents, network traffic, sites affluence, news... Google holds underestimated power over people they could use if they want. And so far they didn't show us that ability.
On the other hand, it is undeniable that we will have to deal with privacy - our own and others privacy - differently in the coming future. But are we ready to access that level of privacy, "Google like"? I'm not sure. Not now.

Now we have real evidence: all of this is a gigantic Tetris game.
Yet another way for a big Internet organization to collect phone numbers.

They actually remove those characters (I tried the kanji, the HTML entities... nothing works).
Have you ever tried to enter kanji on /.?

Any chance to see mysql freed from Oracle as well?

Sounds like the number of comments is inversely proportional to the number of words from the article that have to be deciphered with a dictionary.

I use FF 3.6.8 daily on Ubuntu 10.4 and it is pretty stable. Their new "Plugin crash isolator" works well (e.g. Flash).
FF4 will be one generation ahead in November (according to Wikipedia). Aren't 3 months enough for the competition to catch up?
Sounds like we have also English teachers around here :-)
The rumor is a bit misleading. Actually the new device is the iPhone 5, basically a new iPhone 4 equipped with a 2 inches bumper.

Good. It will give Mr Hurd some time to fix my slow and ink-greedy HP printer.
