That means that NYT might not have been compromised. The e-mail spammer just took advantage of NYT to ensnare recipients or intends to damage NYT.
MS chief guru magician evangelist strategist thought it is a wise move to not let developers use proven technology like OpenGL and C language. Turned out nobody would want to develop for such a skilfully castrated system.
iOS is NOT an open source. Many parts are "sourced" by Apple from the open source community and they are pretty much forced to release them under various licenses, also some other unimportant libraries are made open, but that doesn't mean that you can just configure&make the OS on the spot.
Unlike Android the shell of a CarrierIQ system that shipped with iOS was never enabled
Really? It looks even worse, Apple and not the carrier has chosen to install it. Why? It is burried inside the OS for an unknown purpose. It is there.
Android is shipping with active key-loggers
Again, that CIQ software is NOT installed in Android by Google, it is put there by those carriers. You can still update your device to clean OS quite effortlessly even compile your own Android ICS build (from real open source repositories). On the other hand iOS features CarrierIQ spyware as a permanent part buried inside your phone under unknown conditions, it might be tracking you or not, some GUI switches might not be telling the whole story here.
iOS is far easier then Android thanks to the use of Objective-C in applications
ObjC is not that friendly or easy, it sports some weird syntax, slow code (compared to plain C), incompatible outside iOS and it crashes iOS apps. App crashing is common on iOS, even Microsoft solved crashing in the late 90'.
This is the reason, I believe, why EFF withdrew its support for Bitcoin. They were enthusiastic in the beginning, but then they saw who uses it and what Bitcoin is really used for, almost exclusively by the 'darkside' internet. They didn't want to be associated with it, which is understandable.
MS and also Apple think their trollish patent practices will strengthen them, but it is already apparent this whole patent bullying of late is turning into one big PR nightmare.
It makes waves over at Facebook and Twitter. For example lots of former Apple drones and die-hard fans are now turning away from the once idolized company. Open and friendly competition is gaining traction (the green robot stamped devices come to mind) because of this bad behavior. You accumulate patents to prevent Texan patent troll to abuse you, that is fine, but you can't use them offensively to prevent market entry for others, specifically using broadly applicable text hyperlink patent or some other creepy software pantent, that is just plain evil.
Streisand effect -- somebody tried to ban the paper and now even the nerds on Slashdot knows about it. It has made multiple hits on Reddit, Digg, Fark, the social networks, TV channels and the blogosphere. The whole internet is aware of it and talking about it. Finally it is time to suppress and censor the journals with a scientific Patriot act of sorts. Face palm.
I feel ashamed now, I also bought their products and give them this kind of power. And.. after all these years in development Linux really is a viable option now, technically speaking.
Really? Sony has a good record of quality products like the whole PlayStation brand. Their only real fiasco was the CD rootkit gaffe, but that was not due to their intended malice, they just wanted to try a new DRM offered by some 3rd party, the executives did not even know how it should work or what the rootkit is anyway, they just bought 'amazing new proprietary security technology' that turned evil beyond their imagination.
So you want to waste your precious time messing with those used cards? I personally prefer to download everything from PSN, don't want to have another dust collecting stuff around me to shuffle around. Now, thanks to people like you I can't just download Skyrim off PSN.
Wrong. High radioactivity is spread all over Japan now. The soil is radioactive. Watch this children's playground just outside of Tokyo, nowhere near Fuckupshima. The geiger counter shows 6.4 micro sieverts while the normal background level is in 0.1-0.3 range. You might say that is not a big problem, as it is in the ground only, but the dust particles get spread as the children play, once they breathe them in, they have a problem.
HP thinks, lets make webOS open source, like Android, that is hippy and cool, it will save it! Wrong, Android is a success because it is a Justin Bieber of operating systems, a product of cunning marketing machine, the "american marketing" that is Google inc. Just like the under-performing singer, the OS is fancy nice and all, but flawed, slow, underbaked, not really open etc. In spite of all these odds it makes winning progress. If market forgives all such flaws that means we have a winner, an alpha dog out. HP should sell webOS while it has a pricetag and build around Android.
Call center? That is a sub-human job man. Most of these positions are outsourced for a reason, many of those manufacturing and similar level employments are simply awful and will be replaced by robots (Siri like call-bots here) in the near future anyway making them sure dead-end jobs we should avoid anyway.
> It doesn't matter
yes it matters, particle physics is very important as are cosmic radiation studies, recetly Soudan 2 (underground proton decay particle detector) measure that 10000 relativistic muons are hitting every 1m2 of earth per minute (avg.), now we got this new type of cold fusion confirmed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muon_catalyzed_fusion, exciting times!
Bottled water is unregulated by the authorities in most EU states (subject only to irregular inspections), while tap water is monitored on day to day basis. The problem is that the bottled-water companies trying to render tap water inferior while tests show their overpriced bottled-water is often of worse quality then the tap water.
$200 is definitely a high price when you try to register all typos, abreviations and variants of your mark, but a good price to deter squatters and bulk buyer speculators.
Except nobody noticed that it is just one extended socket for the massive proprietary Broadcom BCM2835 chip (SoC) that provides pretty much everything, so this is 90% Broadcom thing, the UK team just provides fancy packaging and folklore. Does anybody know the price point of that Broadcom silicon?
is needed to run a simple text reader? I mean B&N exposed themselves to this huge attack surface of Linux OS. They have been lazy to not develop their own thin OS layer and now it backfired... even Chinese teens in Hong Kong can do that, I mean why use full Unix/Linux in such a simple device?

Actually it is (check out Darwin sometime).

actually tried whale meat? It's delicious.
Woohoo, we have a whale eater in the discussion, and since whales are delicious, it is OK to kill them, right? (just following your logic)

If the item has a solid record of verifiability, is scarce and famous then the resulting artifact could be a good non-degrading value/money carrier.
Snapped my HTTPS encrypted banking credentials before the device onscreen rendering even finished. How come they are still in business?
Might translation: we fear that SOPA might actually hit our bottom line.
Kaspersky Lab makes big $$$ over "checking" the pirated/counterfeit content to be virus free, so hardly any surprise here.
Good post! It seams very insightful.., thanks. Russia deserves to be a better country, some great people once originated there..
And Intel is pushing this? Microsoft, the former "Wintel" conspirator must really be shaken by this move.
It looks like I have more job safety then you will ever have, you freshly B-1 visas endangered IT/EE degree white collar soon to be displaced workers.

hmm, is there an MS-troll-free alternative to Linux for simple devices like Nook that is not a Linux based OS?
