At least the Chinese do something about it. Unlike Americans who sit down watching tv and drinking beer and bitching on slashdot (and never doing anything about it) while their government not only censors their internet connections, but the whole worlds.
This is why Americans are so fucking hypocrites. Do whatever you want on your own land, but leave rest of the world alone. We don't want your bullshit around here in Europe, and the rest of the world.
There's really never been any problem. I need to do business flights many times a year and I usually fly with Emirates (United Arab Airlines). The first class private suites are truly awesome and come with your own minibar, adjustable ambient lighting, big tv and lots of movies and a la carte menu. Drinks are free too and theres showers and spa. I have no idea why anyone would fly with American Airlines when you can have service like that.
I do also like flying with german airlines. If you fly business class theres always a specific person that serves whatever you may need - beer, your dinner and so on. And the service is great too - they usually assist me a guy, probably thinking I need some fun bro time while away from my girlfriend. Always had a great service too, like "my" guy asking me if I slept good (and they are sad if I didn't) and asking if I want more beer.
Eh, wtf are you talking about? There isn't just hosting at your house or hosting in the cloud - there's the normal style shared hosting, dedicated server hosting and co-location hosting too, which is what most people use.
I think there might be some successful sites in that 59 million domains. In fact, since it requires payment for the licenses, most of them probably are rather successful. Linux and Apache you can install for whatever.
So what? He has UID 524434 so he has been around on slashdot for a quite while. That just shows he has past coding experience in Java, and quick google query shows he is coding with C# now. Java->C# is a natural progress (as the languages are similar, but C# is better) and Visual Studio 2010 and Windows environment makes a lot of sense for C#.
Uh, he specifically wants to spend more time on developing and not worrying about the hosting part. He also understands the risks in it. In that regard using cloud hosting and storage could be really good, as long as you calculate the price comparatively.
Since he is using Visual Studio 2010 for development, I even suggest using Microsoft's Azure. It integrates beautifully with VS and you can run your code directly in the cloud, while debugging too.
In the wild. That's how you rootkit your phone too. There's no reason why it wouldn't be used to install other crap on your phone.
I also find the comparison to Android funny;
But according to Gartner, the number of Android handsets sold in 2010 alone exceeded 67 million units, giving it an installed base that is larger, and growing much faster, than the Mac base. If a large numbers of eyeballs is indeed the lure that causes criminals to write malware for a given operating system, surely Android is a more tempting target than Mac OS.
Android has malware. And I think iPhone owners are better target money wise - mostly US rich kids.
Yes, because every marketing campaign is done out of "desperation".
No teen/twenties or anyone else will pick OSX instead of Windows if he/she plays games. Which is exactly the target audience with bundling PC and Xbox360.
Rather than making assumption about the whole humanity, maybe we should make assumptions about the intelligence of your family when other brother replies to random emails with his cc number and the other one spends friday nights trying to socially-engineer and hack his brother.
You tell people two simple things. Click the update button when the updates happen
How do you think that will work out? The bad guys will just craft their website to look like an update and the user will stupidly run it just like before.
I don't even think the number of unhappy customers is that big. They do actually send the products you order. It's just the patent-holding pharmaceutical companies that are unhappy with people ordering cheaper drugs from 3rd world countries.
Of course it can generate millions of orders for viagra. You want to sponsor this with your own credit card, or how did you plan to get past the payment stage?
So, they will just open new credit card processors, or worse yet, start spamming random websites to get them shut down? Great way to take your competitor down.
Except, Nokia previously agreed to license everyone ELSE (under RAND terms) those same patents Nokia accuses Apple of violating. The "ND" part stands for "non-discriminatory" which means Apple should pay the same price that everyone else. Not the same price AND patent licenses. It also means that all Apple has to do is pay the fees, and Nokia has to suck it up.
Except that Apple is not part of that and doesn't want to be, because that would mean they also would have to license their patents to everyone else at fair price. Apple can't just expect to get the good things (RAND terms) while avoiding the "bad" things (having to go by those RAND terms too).
It's nothing new from Apple. Remember that Apple always ignores everyones patents when it doesn't feel like paying for them (all the Nokia thing), but if someone else uses their patents Apple sues them. Same thing here. Apple and Steve Jobs are just being retards and think they can do whatever they want. And still MS gets blamed for being evil and Apple with its fully closed garden is some kind of white knight...
LinkedIn is filled with professionals. That isn't your everyday farmville-playing soccer moms or pirates who just have free content and who have little market value. These are people who's value is highly over that and they can be offered professional, high paying services and advertising. This is very valuable user base.

Where I live (sweden) that would be illegal. In fact, every store that has security cameras must also have a clear note about it outside the door.
Maybe you're talking about the UK.. Yeah, they're same lunatics as Americans too.
Oh yeah, this poker censor too, as well as wikileaks and countless of others. And here you guys are saying how bad Chinese are...

That's also what contracts and SLA's are for. Just FYI, Azure/Microsoft offers SLA. So does any other good company offering services for businesses.
If we have a need for a skill, we simply hire someone with that skill and get them to work.

Every year I spent half an year living in Thailand. With all the fine ladyboys and fun time around, I'm not surprised no one cares about the servers.

That's fine, as long as you filter MY credit card number out of your random number generator, thank you very much.
Sure! Just post your credit card number here and everyone promises to filter it!
