I disagree, or else the marketing industry would not exists. Algorithms can be made to become pragmatic and change over the course of use. While humans can do the same, they also have emotions. I fully expect this to give rise to a new paradigm in marketing strategy.
Agreed, but this just means the upstreams need to have their feet held to the fire. Using my previous example AT&T BGP gear has no business accepting routes from AS 123abcxxxhost.nl that include netblocks for Google, Yahoo, Verisign, etc. None. If their border routers do take those adverts without any checking then hell needs to break loose at AT&T/ISP.
This issue doesn't require a technical solution or a New Wheel v2.0, it requires network engineers with a bit of security design/best-practice knowledge. Even if they picked up the damn phone and called someone on their security team to ask if it's an issue....
BGP is almost always setup manually, at least when first configured. Network admins: DO NOT PUT UNTRUSTED PEERS IN THE ACLs. Joe smith running BGP on 123abcxxxhost.nl has no business being in your tables. If you're accepting adverts from any AS you deserve what you get.
The routing on the Internet has always been hierarchical: get updates from your upstreams. If they send you bad info you're SOL anyway, just like SSL certs and Verisign's root certs.
How can you say Apple is "Monopolistic" ? And what gives you, or I, the right to tell Apple how they can engineer their equipment? Apple is not a monopoly - if you don't like Apple hardware go buy your own and put Linux or Windows on it.
Pystar is trying to ride the coattails of Apple's marketing department and the brand they have created. Does it make any more sense to sue GE for the software/operating system to any of the Nuclear Reactors they design? Pystar is playing off of the emotions of the uneducated/irrational with this one...
An easy way to end this is for Apple to release OSX with a stand alone license cost so high that it makes it prohibitive for 3rd-party OEMs to include it. What, next we're going to see people complain because a company charges too much for a product they made? This whole suit is lulz.
Greatest SciFi Writer of Our Age. Period.

Ray Bradbury Turns 88

I contend that Bradbury is the single greatest science fiction writer of our age. Period. What he did - his vision - and when he did it was truly remarkable.
I still remember reading the Martian Chronicles and the Illustrated Man. For a kid that didn't like to read for fun it says a lot about books that kept me up 3 nights straight to find out how things ended.
Our mail platform has beaten google in uptime and security "bugs" for the past 40 months. Why? I attribute it to using proven technologies and not everyone wanting an account being able to get one: we charge every system user. You would be surprised how much this cuts down on spammers/excessive usage.
Google has had their mail in beta for years. The last time I checked SMTP was ratified as an RFC over a decade ago.
100% Agreed. We started using Vaultwise for our servers and laptops and couldn't be happer. We spoke with some of their engineers and they have some kind of CDP that they are going to release that does block-level backups. Very cool stuff. I don't know why, nowadays, why anyone wouldn't want their backups accessible online.
"Also, Republicans can thank Shadegg for turning on the microphones the first time. Apparently, the fiesty Arizona conservative started typing random codes into the chamber's public address system and accidentally typed the correct code, allowing Republicans brief access to the microphone before it was turned off again."
Get the parents more involved. For kids, school should be akin to their 9-5 job. In order to excel they need to put the time in at home, and the only people that can help instill that discipline are the parents.
When the Pentium platform first came out people didn't know how to pronounce it; I remember friends trying "pent-see-ummmm" among others. I think the Pentium chips have done well for Intel...
How about making sure everything is legit before holding it out in public as-such? It shouldn't matter if it comes from Myspace, Bebo, or the LAPD - it should all be verified, in triplicate.
The reasons I still use them are that I think the quality and utility outweigh the risk, and because my much-smaller web hosting company is more likely to do something bird-brained than Google is.
That's actually a foolish remark. Use google to search for things like "gmail outage" or "gmail issue". My favorite is "gmail security issue" with over 100k results.

Humans are a lot harder to game than algorithms.

I did, and the PDF, did you? The summary is _still_ enough to address this issue.

It's not that I have faith that the feds would do anything - I guess it's more hope than anything...

Well, all I can say is, no one, not even him can prevent this shit from happening if a server out of their control such as this is unpatched.
Run a recursive nameserver. Hard to have this happen when you patch it yourself.

In our testing VMWare is by far the best performing VM platform out there, especially on the networking benchmarks. This is nothing but a good thing.

For the record, IBM's JVM is based on Suns. All they did was add some proprietary items to the base classpath.
... why couldn't they do that 10 years ago? I am waiting for those a long time now.
I'm still waiting for my flying cars. Makes me wonder if there is some nefarious motive for me not being able to do a George Jetson already....
And chicks dig guys with skills........right?!?!

I've heard stories personally about people logging into gmail and ending up in someone else's Inbox. Yes, that's right, full access to someone else's email. Or how about another goodie: mass deletes of random emails.
I don't understand why people have the idea that Google is better then competent system administrators - it's just plain foolish and naive.

Has google jumped-the-shark with their recent products?(things always in beta, no adult supervision claims, etc.)
