"Illegal streaming device" = "any box Hollywood doesn't control" - this includes YouTube to a certain extent until Google played ball. From a more prophetic standpoint I think the various devices are turning into de-facto cable boxes and I think Hollywood is looking into making their content available only to exclusive devices - let alone services as they do now. (Although it'll probably end up looking like the DVD consortium where only approved device makers that agree to monopolistic conditions get licensed to stream content)
Besides, your format-shifting causes children to starve because you're not paying your fair share to the artists who labor long and hard to bring you quality entertainment. Same thing when you skip over ads you thief!

Most movie piracy was from DVD/Blu-ray screeners given out to critics or friends/family.
Unless Iger's thought that he was going to try to defray the poor ticket sales of Pirates on it. "It didn't do well at the boxoffice because everybody PIRATED it" (pun intended)
I wonder if the FBI got serious about investigating it and he had to walk back his statement...
Maybe we can build a campfire, sing some songs...
Why was he even CTO? It's not about choosing a car over a horse (which is a dumbass comparison) - it's comparing a Model T to a Mustang... and yet people still preferred to buy VW Beetles.
The war is far from over because I refuse to use Chrome as I can barely block ads, let alone use a tool like NoScript to block specific javascript sites and I try to limit my google tracking as best as I can.
Give me a browser that DOES that (Brave comes close) and renders web pages to the standard and I'm there.
Y'know... like Opera or Palemoon.
Firefox lost because Firefox refused to compete with Google (and they couldn't because they were funded BY Google) and decided they wanted to be an OS and then abandoned their principles by forcing ads on you anyway.
Sure, you can map the events easily - that's not my point and you're falling into the same trap "it's just buttons and scrolling"
I can easily the mouse cursor to the tilt of my head on a VR helmet but I wouldn't want to
Interface schemes have different contexts and, as such, require thoughts of how to display the information to the user for access.
It's easy for a music player to be "universal" (as in the example here with Groovy) because it's a few buttons and a scroll to control music playing. Now try that with different windows groups - in windows/mac that's bring up the dock bar or key combination to access the group display then select the window group you're interested in displaying. But that's silly with a VR helmet where you can store your windows groups "off screen" and just tilt/rotate your head to see the window group you're interested in seeing - then a "click" to bring it front and center.
Though visually there are common elements, the system is designed to work across virtual/augmented reality, phones, tablets, desktop PCs, games consoles, using mice, keyboards, motion controllers, voice, gestures, touch, and pen, with the interactivity and input optimized to each particular form factor.
1000 times NO - you cannot use the same definition language across different input strata. You either end up with a least common denominator of interactivity or you sacrifice one for the utopian goals of the idealogy (That is to say Windows 8 and Metro).
Its always a grand idea in theory because you immediately think "It's just buttons and scrolling.. how hard can that be?!". It's not - it's text and selection and finding the items you want vs need vs trying to recall the interface paths to access them plus the needs of the input device you're working with.
A VR system isn't going to acommodate the subtleties of a touch screen (though they'll try) and a touch screen drops the finer gesture control of a pen which is simillar (but not the same as) a mouse interface.
You need a CUSTOM UI and access strategy per device type that interfaces to the underlying control scheme. That's why the iOS is DIFFERENT than MAC OS and not a one-size fits all strategy like Windows 10 which does NOTHING well (and don't even get me started on that craptacular Xbox One UI)
"Application Guard works by creating a virtual PC that is entirely separate from all storage, other apps, and the Windows 10 Kernel, meaning that the browser should be completely impervious to malware."
Except...you still need to be able to download files and I presume those would be in shared spaces outside the VM and install web apps/plug-ins which have to be saved outside the VM too. (Presuming you destroy/recreate the VM if it gets corrupted as you'd still want to keep the apps, cookie settings, bookmarks, passwords etc between nuke and paves so they have to be stored outside the sandbox.) That's still the exact same security risk as browsers have now... they're just moving the access points.
Yeah I've not figured out the hype on that stuff. I checked one out at the microsoft store and couldn't figure out what made it $30 better than the other keyboards.
Might as well have it sold by Ricardo Montalban - "And this keyboard is made with rich corinthian leather!"
I understand in devops how even server configurations are "executable" but those aren't programming languages being used to generate those configurations but JSON or some other definition format that may contain executable chunks (like javascript, shell calls, etc).
And even though HTML and XML have the term "language" in them they're not "programming" languages per se.
He's talking about interpreted vs compiled and interpreted languages have been around before C (BASIC anyone?!)
And as others have posted COBOL made these same claims years ago.
Expressive isn't necessarily better and really depends on your interpretation of such. It is far easier to "express" new hardware concepts/manipulations (like memory handling) in C than it is in Java. It is also easier to make "Expressive" code in C++ much to the detriment of most maintainers!
Python and Java (like BASIC before them - and we're talking about the one with line numbers, not that MS bs) provide low barriers to programming - code, run, repeat. They're great for learning and beginners and to quickly hammer out program concepts. With faster hardware these days you generally can get away with the performance you get from these languages without having to transcribe them to a lower level language (C, Assembly).
It used to be standard practice to write the algorithm in C then run the C parser to output the code directly to the assembly it was going to generate and then hand-tweak the assembly! That we don't need to do THAT anymore is a testament to the hardware and less to the languages used. (and in some cases because you can't anymore because the hardware is too disparate - IE phones)
And I say this as someone who's worked on personal projects on company time (both with and without their knowing).
Ultimately that right resides with my employers who are paying me.
More realistically it depends on if my boss is a jerk and/or if I've been working up to THEIR standards (and that's the key)
It's no different than my surfing on the web while waiting for a compile to finish and posting on slashdot (looks over shoulder) or working on some personal app (I can claim I'm enriching my skill set by doing both).
I once worked at a company where a guy ran a PRIVATE BUSINESS from his cube (and would take calls for work/contracts during office hours...successfully too). He got sacked even though he put in good work because of it.
Microsoft has this product called Outlook that, at one time, had a ToDo list built in... Microsoft built Outlook to compete with Lotus Notes which had... a ToDo list built in... Microsoft already HAS ToDo list functionality in their OneNote product - designed for the Windows 10 ecosystem and is already cloud based.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is why MBAs SUCK! "I need a ToDo list app to fulfill market segment XJ27- go buy this popular one and integrate it with Windows 10", "But sir we have a ToDo list app built into our OneNote product" "Don't be a fool - that's for taking notes, not a ToDo list app. Apps are appy apps." "But you told us to get rid of the ToDo list in Outlook to cut costs on developers?!" "Don't bother me with trivialities."

It's like meeting a celestial! :)
I can get my PC from intel, my monitor from Samsung, my OS via Linux and internet through some sort of fascist company.
I don't need those 5 at all.
They've got Mr. T on Waze right now.

I'm not sure I follow.
Wouldn't the proper term then be "evaluatable"?
I understand in devops how even server configurations are "executable" but those aren't programming languages being used to generate those configurations but JSON or some other definition format that may contain executable chunks (like javascript, shell calls, etc).
And even though HTML and XML have the term "language" in them they're not "programming" languages per se.
Well it obviously worked so well when Obama did it that we need to do it again.
Frankly this just sounds more like both political parties have figured out how to get silicon valley onboard to justify taking their lobbying dollars.
You mean the hobbit's leaf? ;)
Programming languages are "executable" now?
Really...
