The ad industry probably believes it can stop the growth of ad blocking by consigning the big ad blocking apps and hoping users either wont notice 'approved' ads creeping into their browsing experiencing or that they'll be too lazy to find a replacement. But this is not like changing the default search engine of a browser to increase search traffic - ad blocking users are a much more motivated group. Not to mention that waving greenmail in the front of AdBlock will only encourage other developers to create their own software to cash in on the largess.
They're apparently not content with only failing miserably in new markets like smartphones - they're now finding ways to destroy their successful businesses as well. They should just sit on their hands and keep collecting their checks.
In that case we'll all continue to run ad blockers until you guys are able to figure out which ads are good and which are bad. This fiasco should serve as motivation for the ad industry to start aggressively self-regulating, including funding action against rule breakers. They'll be the death of your industry if you allow them to continue.
The more information that leaks the clearer it becomes that this was a planned hoax to achieve exactly the outcome that it did. To wit:
1) Ahmed claimed he invented the clock - now we know he simply repackaged it.
2) Mark Cuban on Bill Maher's show said that he spoke with multiple individuals in the school district (Cuban lives in Dallas) and they claimed that Ahmed took it upon himself to take his "invention" out of his bag in every one of his classes and it was only in the 6th class that a teacher became suspicious, in English clash.
3) That teacher repeatedly asked Ahmed to explain what his invention was and to put it away and Ahmed failed to engage and respond to the teacher.
4) Mark Cuban had a long conversation with Ahmed on the phone and said he could hear Ahmed's sister advising him how to respond to each of Marks' questions as he asked them
5) New stores leaking imply that Ahmed's parents are muslim activists, although there is weak confirmation of this.
So now we'll need an aftermarket "green-rod" chip that makes our cars environmental friendly. And instead of advertising the chip in beefy car magazines they'll advertise them in nature magazines sold at Whole Foods.
That's how the grant progress works - make a discovery, overstate its importance, collect the next grant, and repeat the process when the grant money runs out. As for evolution, throwing random insults at someone is the evolutionary equivalent of monkeys throwing their feces at each other.
Sounds like the last few generations - lots of incremental improvements and excellent technology but wont amount to much of a difference in general performance.
Not to discount murder, but people are going to murder each other whether or not police are permitted to access decrypted data on phones. Murdering are civil rights and privacy will be a lot harder with encryption.

Probably one of the worst sitcoms I've ever tried to watch. Go to youtube and search "big bang theory without laugh track" and see what I mean.

CPU utilization will go to 100%, causing all kinds of emission changes and power consumption alerts.
Because the only thing holding average people back from becoming programmers is source control.
In other words, eDekka LLC just got tea-bagged.

If I had a small kid I wouldn't parade him on national TV multiple times. Think a little bit deeper about this one.
It's not the child who masterminded the hoax, the same as it was with balloon boy.

Don't waste time browsing on twitter.
Electron-level threat protection. It analyzes randomly-moving electrons to decide how best to separate people from their IT budget dollars.

That controls the switch they found this year. And so on and so on. The complexity of nature is bested only by the ego of man and his "discoveries".

Heard that somewhere before :)

I guess they only wanted inflation directed the "right" players in the economy, ie people instead of businesses.
They're in dire need of better UX talent than they are of developer talent.
Because that's exactly what HEVC is going to get if they pursue this.
That way you can't tell who's incompetent by just looking at who's dressed up anymore.

It seems the only thing Pao is good at is collecting degrees.
