It's worth remembering how small a quantity of RAM 128k really is. That's the same amount of RAM as 2 Commodore 64's, 3 ZX Spectrums, or 1/4 of an Atari 520ST. Most competing systems with comparable RAM were text based with little or no GUI available. Most other machines with a GUI (Atari ST, Amiga) shipped with a minimum of 512k usually
TRWTF is using Apples presentation software. Sure, it works, but it's got nothing on PowerPoint or compatibles, such as Open/Libre/Whateveritisnow Office.
It's like trying to crack a nut with a hammer. Sure, it'll get the job done, but you still should use a nutcracker.
Most kids. I'm 25 and am happiest sat in front of my Amiga, or toggling the switches on my PiDP-8
Most kids today have grown up in a world with apps, smartphones and a complete disregard for data privacy, and i hate it with a passion. My iPhone won't even play music if it can't get a good 3G signal any more. That was a simple fix though, i took out the SIM card and put it in a Nokia 3310
Yeh, they're fucked. I've been watching their stock price tumble over the last few days. Maybe by the end of the week i'll be able to buy the remnants of the company with the change i have in my back pocket.
They were quite obviously trying to shut the barn door after the horse bolted. No point spending money of infosec when all the info has already been stolen.
In that case, they've just leaked their income all over the internet. Why would i pay for thei services when all that data is freely available on the web?
After a breach that big, it's hard to see them coming out of the other side as a financially sound company. Especially since it's an agency the deals with credit ratings. If you can't trust them to keep your data secure, is there any point having business with them?
I'll be here waiting for the news of their bankruptcy
Yup, and after my dad forked out an insane quantity of money for a SONOS sound system a few weeks ago, i'm going to hunt down some vintage stuff and show him where he's going wrong.
Plus, it's just nicer not to have your stereo connected to the internet IMHO. Also, analogue or bust.
That's all this "Air Taxi" company will be. Another company sapping the cash from venture capitalists. I expect this will be one of the last times we hear from them, before they inevitably go under. And i guess that'll be in a few years.
I'll be there in the comments with a link to this post and an "I told you so" underneath it
It makes it look less likely to be from a government agency. Stuxnet got traced back because it was clearly the work of a major intelligence agency. If you make it look like some idiot in his bedroom wrote it, chances are they'll believe some idiot in his bedroom wrote it.

That's like comparing a pile of shit and a bucket of shit to a rose. which one will smell better?

Does it have a rain screensaver? After all, it always rains in Manchester

Yeh, lets chuck a bunch of $500 processors into a bucket of water! What's the worst that can happen?!?!
Whenever i get cold, i just fire up my dual Xeon workstation and let it run a bit of number crunching for LHC@home

They make nice novelty tea coasters for the technically inclined. Keeps the coffee stains off your authentic tabletop Pacman cabinet
It might be an old source, but Apple seem to still trounce Samsung on profit margins...
God knows how though, samsung's phones are expensive to buy and cheaply built compared to Apple's. Maybe labor costs are a factor...
I'm still toting an iPhone 5
Who are you? Huawei?

You could set up an air taxi today if you wanted. Just buy a fleet of helicopters, and hire a bunch of pilots.
We have a water taxi in my home town. no, it's not an amphibious car, it's a crappy dinghy with an outboard motor on it. Taxi != car
