I read an article about how AI's ability to evaluate trends, process through an abundance of market data, understand business strategy, and make hard decisions make them well suited to replace the CIO role in an organization. CIO's mainly deail with data analytics and big data, computers do this better. A good CIO usualy just looks at the numbers given them and nodes there heads at the conclusions. Think we need to replace the CIO's first.
US hadn't been drone attacking the middle east for years Immigration laws and procedures where improved and followed the world addressed the rising conflict between major religious beliefs or one of a million other things that could have more significantly impacted the risk of a terror attack in Paris!
Crypto is a protocol, nothing more. It can be used in so many ways. Its like water can be used for a hydrogen bomb We need to stop demonizing it, embrace it, and understand it.
It was my understanding that the US Government was in favor of putting security back-doors in everything? Are they just mad cuz it wasn't their backdoor?
From what I've seen of the Video Game industry and software development in general, profit margins are huge. This just another case of management and owners taking all the profit and stiffing the working class? Its not like there is a narrow profit margin where increased staffing costs would destroy profitability. There is the carrot of "getting to make video games" but it sounds like that losses its teeth over time so you end up with a revolving door of under skilled workers.
Maybe this industry need a little right-setting?!?!
I have deployed computers and devices in a manufacturing setting. The number one factor in ensure that a device or even rugged terminals is to make sure your putting stuff on it that makes the users job easier or benefits the user directly. Quality checking systems, work reporting tools, extra work when its functioning will DOOM a device. These things are breaking because they have homework on them...I'm really sad to say.
I watched this documentary about how a government agent was a webmaster on a similar (or maybe this site) to entrap people and build "trust" with people dealing in this. The strange part is that the agent was clearly a part of the exchange of credit card info. With identity theft corporations and how organized the business is, I highly doubt theses teens where the leaders of this. Most probably used for some of their skills and information and then now it looks like they are taking the fall.
I think this could be good for this project. Its good to get nailed with security issues as early as possible. This just means that focus on security will get higher...end result could be a very secure system. GL!
Welcome to the real world intellectuals....this is how things are done. I'm not saying its right, but knowing the right people is how things function. I know the University and intellectual world like to think that they are removed from such things but that is just not the case.
I remember a news show highlighting a "famous" professor that did some amazing work in his early carrier and then proceeded to build a bigger carrier while reusing fake data and bogus information. He WOULD NOT have been able to do so if he had not known the right people and had the "right amount of fame". No one doubted him...however if his papers where published by a "nobody" they would have been caught QUICKLY.
Despite government rules on how they monitor communications of people with in there nation the real issue have with India and other countries "listening in" on communications is the fact that that country gains a business edge by listening in on communications between citizens and other people. its not about "big brother" its about a COUNTRY having inside information on any global company. That is just dangerous. We've already seen the bleed over of government and corporations during recent bailouts. When do we become a world wide "corporate government"?
Ok that might be a little more "conspiracy theory" then I really believe but these privacy issues defiantly bring things like that to mind.
if I recall correctly. The Chinese government pushed Microsoft to delivery to them the source code for Windows, stating that they "needed to check the code for what could be security issues for them". I believe Microsoft said "heulz no, you'll just bootleg it" (that was paraphrased)
Odds are China has backwards engineered what they needed from the search engine. They will "rehire" all the Google China staff when Google leave and make there own Google. Just like they do with John Deer lawnmowers and every new piece of equipment that lands on their shipping docks. reverse engineer it and start making it for themselves. China is know for having two whole manufacturing plants for the same product. One by the "owner" of the copyrights and one that makes the same product but for china only.
China will have their Google and how they want it, big brother and all.
How inevidable is it that corporations large and small will find ways to profit off of anything? Anything of "value"...someone will eventualy try to/will make money off of...this is...enevidable.
*not sure of anyone will catch my lucky charms pun*
I work on security systems and I've proposed "security paranoia"
Fear isn't going to help grow technology. There are hundreds of social engineering, web based, technical equipment base, and good old scam based ways to get your info.
We can't fear new technologies...everything will have its bumps and flaws and with time they get worked out...if they are accepted by users.
Your not a whole lot more vunerable then you are now with a chip in your credit card.
Watch and work your money like a job...get proper coverage for inevitable loss and go with it!
If your really worried about being vunerable...get off the internet!!! (At least I can't get flamed by those paranoid people now)
So true, I would never argue that a one handed keyboard would be faster and more erginomic. I saw this handle grip keyboard that utilized up to 3 key entries using swivle twist and finger griping. If i trained myself for months and months I would love this thing! but I'll never do it.
Tablet PC
Having owned one and looked from the outside in as well. You don't use the extending features of the tablet PC as much as you would think. In the end my utilization of the pen and the handwriting recognition was reduced to near zero. For hotpitals and "mobile" user I've professional designed systems around Tablet PC's but its a nitch, its not for the masses.
OLED Keyboards
Again, it will have its niches but mainstream technology that will change the way we work and play with our computer. Doubt it.
I could think of some interesting psychology experiments using this screen with three test users debating what they see on the LCD screen but beyond that, please tell me what this technology does for me?
Is leaning right and left to get another desktop useful? Isn't this just like those animating stickers that show two or three pictures? Please, give me applicable technology, not just technology that looks neat.
This obliviously uses video card cycles to generate the 3 views, if I can't conceivably use them in tandem its just a waste.
I guess you could watch porn while your giving a PowerPoint presentation to your client?!?
Other then "gadget factor" whats the real value in this?
This reminds me of the "Tablet PC" revolution (I baught one). Although a great piece of technology there wasn't a significant increase in productivity or features that warented the extra effort to adapt to the technology.
A big win for any "bleeding edge" technology is if the added productivity and features out way the effort to convert from an existing platform.
Winning Examples: iPod (MP3 Player) Mouse -> Cordless Mouse Touchpad Cell Phone OS' (When a cellphone started doing more then dialing) PDA
Losers: One-handed Keyboard Tablet PC OLED Keyboard
If your average user has to change they're process and spend alot of time configuring with low return on the effort your user accaptance is going to be significantly reduces.
Sure you can through any piece of technology in front of me and I'll play with it for a week or a month but if I can't adapt it to existing effort or it changes me to do things differantly then I'll put it down.
I read and artical in a video game magazine that pitted the drop in violant acts to the growth of the gaming industry and there is an inverses relationship. In this poorly contrived comparision video games are curbing violance but there are more poorly contrived statitics that point to video games as the responsible factor for violance.
I guess my point is that its even silly to try to create a corrilation between the two.
IMHO, going home at night and headshotting a newb or 20 has kept me a calm and docial cube monkey for years now, thank the First Person Shooters for preventing me from going postal!
Its seems like just a few years ago that I say a web address in an advertisement for the first time. The internet has changed so much over the past few years. The one thing I've always appriciated about it was how open and vast it was.
Now I just feel this being segmented, sliced up, analized, commercialize, and legalized. Don't get me wrong, some of it has been good. Would have never gotten outta dial up days if nothing happened to it but the face of the internet in another 10 years scares me.
Am I gonna need a passport to go to a website in another country? Will I have to log into more then one "Internet" depending on who I am and where I want to go?
I think, the price of the internet should eventualy move to nothing, with the right commercalization wouldn't commerce want to you log on to the net like they want you to turn on your TV?
This makes a PDA sound like something its not and it links a sites physical/personel security to the PDA.
You can smuggle 1 GB of viral data into a facility in the roof of your mouth (SD Card) SD CARDS ARE THE NEXT THREAT TO WORLD SECURITY!!!
I think you get my point.
PDA's are computer, now a-days they are about the horse power of a full size computer 10 years ago. Thats all we need to know, and address the PHYSICAL and INFRASTRUCTURE security appropriatly for them.
The number 1 hacker method will always be social engineering. A./ artical a while back showed that a guy stold a mainframe and he didn't use a PDA.
The internet is a free scale network. If you look up some of the information behind such a network you would realize a few KNOWNS
Believe it or not a free scall network and the Internet:
Can not be destroyed Can not be owned Individual or single entitites on it only have minimel impact (HUBS having the most influeance, and I don't me devices) No one can even fully understand the complete workings of the internet.
These are almost FACTs, I know some may despute them but with out going to deep into the concepts I can asure you that Broadband or a Nuclear War will not destry the internet (Though it might lower its usage a little)
With all the "Star Power" and the number of candidates that obviously are looking for media attention (I.E. Gary Colemen ), do you really thing that the candidates or the office really going to be taken serious when its all said and done?
Won't this whole election fiasco cripple anyone who actually wins?

Hmmm, how can we back down from a battle, we are clearly losing, to Apple while saving face and boosting our Israeli relations related to terrorism?
The Paris attacks would not have happened if....
US hadn't been drone attacking the middle east for years
Immigration laws and procedures where improved and followed
the world addressed the rising conflict between major religious beliefs

0.5 billion on cyber defense and 2.3 billion total for the cyber program. That means 1.3 billion on cyber attack?
