Why do they need a motivation other than revenue? In fact, revenue should always be the only motivation for taxes. When the government tries to do social engineering through the tax code they always botch things.
In the context of the article he's talking about Microsoft's *old* phone strategy. Windows Mobile was basically an attempt to do the Blackberry thing with Windows. It could have done worse, but obviously it didn't succeed, which is why they dumped it for Windows Phone.
I don't think he's criticizing Windows Phone.
Nobody uses the term "Android" when pitching to consumers, but Samsung is particularly aggressive about differentiating their software.
If all the distributions competed only on hardware it would be a boring market.
I really don't see the point of jailbreaking this device. There is no native Windows software that will run on it because that's all x86 code. You could run.NET code (at least some, we don't know if the full.NET is in there). And while it's possible to write native Windows programs for ARM, who's really going to do that for the few systems that are jailbroken?
BTW, there is no simple jailbreak procedure to invoke this. It's complicated.
The article goes into this some. It's not GoGo who's switching to direct satellite operation, but ViaSat which (as far as we know) will only be on JetBlue, some time in 2013.
Ironically, what got us doing this article was when one of us was flying on Virgin and the charge was $24.95 instead of the advertised $14.95. It turned out that this was one of the planes with the upgraded GoGo hardware and Virgin was charging more for Wi-Fi on those flights. This led to an internal "WTF is going on here?" memo and this story, which we hope to keep updated.
I'm Larry Seltzer, Editorial Director of BYTE.
BYTE survived in print well into the 90's and was then bought by CMP, who stopped the print edition in 98. It existed online for a while, mostly as a subscription-based site which folded in 2009.
BYTE is now owned by UBM Tech, and part of the InformationWeek Business Network. Our focus is consumerization of IT, which I define as the use in business and other managed networks of products designed for consumer use. This mostly about mobile devices, and I hope the connection to in-flight Wi-Fi is clear.
Incidentally, my earliest memory of BYTE was reading it in high school in the late 70's in relation to the TRS-80 Model I Level I we had. I think there was an article about Z-80 assembler.
Why do we log the above^ information? Being able to locate abusive users is imperative for the survival of operating a VPN service, if you can not take action to prevent abuse you risk losing server contracts with the underlying upstream providers that empower your network. Common abuse can be anything from spam to fraud, and more serious cases involve terrorism and child porn. The main type of logging is session logging – this is simply logging when a customer connects and disconnects from the server, this identifies who was connected to X IP address at X time, this is what we do and all we do. Some providers choose not to do session logging and instead try to locate the abusive customer by using the intelligence from the complaint, for example if someone hacks XYZ.com they may monitor traffic to XYZ.com and log which customers have a connection to this website. Ask yourself this: if a provider claims not to do any form of logging, but is able to locate abusive customers, how are they able to do this without any form of logging?
When my father was in for aortic valve replacement and bypass I asked the surgeon (Dr. Oz, the guy on TV a lot, did his surgery) and his cardiologist why there weren't artificial grafts. Instead they take vessels from the legs, adding another opportunity for infection and something else to heal, not to mention time to the procedure. They said that nobody had any success with it, they didn't know why. Venus grafts clog right back up pretty frequently; arterial grafts do much better, but you don't have a lot of arteries you can spare. TFA talks about capillaries, not coronary arteries. I'm not sure if the tissue needs would be any different.
Parent is correct. Admittedly this story is up to/. standards, but the editors should fix the post.
Parent is wrong about "published". PCMag isn't in print anymore, but is still a busy web site.
Disclosure: I have written for them for many years and run the Security Watch blog.
I worked for ZD when he bought the company (97 maybe, from Forstmann-Little). The man is an infamous bullshitter. If he's actually giving serious thought to doing something along these lines then it has to be a scam that he'll make money on.

Humans must buy carbon offsets for the privilege of exhaling. They can choose not to exhale and sell their offsets instead.
I know others have found more, but McAfee were very clear that there could have been more, but they were only reporting what was in the logs they found. Anyway the point stands that you don't need especially sophisticated stuff to achieve success, especially once you have a beachhead inside the organization.
This is related to the fundamental fraud behind Sun's lawsuit against Microsoft back in the late 90's. The contract between the two defined the standard for compatibility as the Java Technology Compatibility Kit or whatever it was called at the time, and defined it as Sun's publicly available tests.
Sun/Oracle has never had any publicly available tests. You've always had to sign a strict NDA to get access to them
We keep hearing that Mac share is increasing, but I've yet to see any study that shows Mac usage over a few percent. They don't need to control the market to make $Zillions.

It won't fit under the seat in front of you or the overhead bin.

RTFA The story was run on that day because it was exactly 25 years to the event.

I use it mostly as an encrypting proxy so I can use open Wifi and other untrustworthy networks.
Hear hear. I'm an HMA Pro subscriber BTW and I'd go so far as to say that I'm glad for them that they could be part of busting these assholes.
If there's a demand for it some OEMs will satisfy the demand.This is pretty obvious actually.

You might consider the fact that the phrase "Extended Validation" does not appear in the document.
Old wive's tale. Pirated Windows users can download service packs and critical updates.
I think the proposal you are referring to (Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and Management of Publicly-Trusted Certificates) is not about EV certs but a proposed less-stringent standard for non-EV certs. Here's the announcement and request for public comment.
Huh? How does IPV6 solve "this problem" (presumably authentication)?
I know others have found more, but McAfee were very clear that there could have been more, but they were only reporting what was in the logs they found. Anyway the point stands that you don't need especially sophisticated stuff to achieve success, especially once you have a beachhead inside the organization.
If they can be effective using mundane attacks and get away with it why shouldn't they? Not all attacks need to be Stuxnet-level sophisticated.
It's one of the basic problems with these attacks. There's always plausible deniability.
