Even the Wikipedia people say that there's lots of information on Wikipedia that isn't reliable. Wikipedia should never be relied on as a source of truth or accuracy.

If a company employee changes an article, why is that worse than a volunteer changing an article?
The researchers probably found there isn't just one controller - there were many, many good controllers, each for a different audience.
Why didn't they release multiple controllers, one for kids, one for adults? One for women, one for men? As Prego discovered, there isn't one spaghetti sauce that makes everyone happy; there are many, many sauces, all of which will make some people happy.

Well actually, an individual in that situation makes a decision based on their particular understanding of reality. When you start getting into multiple individuals it's less clear about what how they decide. Decision making by groups is substantially different, and can be totally sub-optimal. As an example, look at the various mass deaths in clubs/bars that burn down - or traffic behaviors in the third world.
Apple may collect that information, but as Apple said, their business does not depend on the sale of that info. Selling access to you is not core to their business, like FB and Google.
They'd be stupid if they didn't collect that information. You're a 5 digit ID - can't you tell the difference between "we don't care about selling your data" and "your data is what we sell?"
I doubt that you'd be able to hang around a cash register with a serial cable and update some device's firmware without someone noticing. At that point why not just update the cash register's firmware and have it give you money directly?
If the runtime moved memory around during a realloc, this code wouldn't work. However, you'd never notice if you use the same runtime all the time. This is why it's a good thing to compile/target different platforms and compilers, and to do a -Wall (or the equivalent) at every optimization level. You have to do it at every optimization level because some compilers only do checks like this during their optimization phase (gcc?).
This type of thing wouldn't get caught by any automated tools when I was doing C. Funny that there isn't a way to specify "this argument gets borked" in any language I can think of.
In a surprise move, it was discovered that the NSA has secretly been moonlighting by outsourcing its collection abilities to third-parties, including foreign governments.
"It's a natural fit," said James Clapper, embattled NSA chief. "We spend billions of dollars yearly on collection, computation, storage, and analysis. By leveraging these investments, we provided intel capabilities to foreign governments at a fraction of their retail cost - and at a significant profit." Intelligence analysts pointed out that by providing these services the NSA was essentially hamstringing foreign intelligence services. "What they don't do they can't get better at" said one anonymous intel source.
While the NSA refuses to break out specific numbers, it is believed that revenue from this operation runs in the billions.
If it wasn't for that other guy, I would never have even thought about tapping your phone. But since he build the framework that allowed me to do it, of course I did it.
Geez, when I started programming all you had with stdclib. Now I have teams of people who know orders of magnitude more than I do doing my bidding. It's great!
Seriously, though, everything is easier these days. There's a ridiculous amount of stuff out there, if you have enough time to plow through it all.
When are they going to do power outlets? I could convince myself to replace each one of my outlets if it had WiFi connectivity and a way to monitor usage and turn it on/off.
No, he's not missing the point. The only reason you bring up a point like that is to ensure that the initiative gets squished, because only the rich will be able to afford it. That's a kiss-of-death statement in committee, made in such a way that it's deniable - which is exactly what Ross did in his statement.
"I don't think it's a bad idea, it's just that we're just going to make rich, achieving students richer and more achieving. I'm not saying that's bad - I'm just saying what about everyone else?"
It's hard to find info on it, and it was at least 8 years ago. So you're saying that Samsung's benchmark juicing today is like Apple choosing the Intel compiler with extra options back in the day?
This is what Samsung does, in pseudocode:
if app.name == benchmark speed up
This is what Apple did on its benchmarks:
# for G5 cc test.c -altivec
# for x86 gcc test.c
If you can't tell the difference between the two, you're either stupid, or Samsung.
You'd think they'd stop doing this, since they keep getting caught. However, crime pays. They've made substantially more money off of their phones than the puny fine they had to pay in the Samsung vs Apple trial. They doing it again to Dyson vacuums.
The market is rewarding their bad behavior, and they're going to just keep going.
Samsung's integrity is closely tied to the size of their profits. Once the lack of integrity starts impacting their bottom line, they'll find some. Until then, it's business as usual.
When BlackBerry listened, they listened to the carriers, not to the end-users.
"How did they get AT&T to allow [that]?"
Exactly.
BB was built for carriers - just like Windows is built for Enterprise customers. That's who their customers were. And apparently those customers were wrong. That's the problem when you listen to your customers - someone else might be talking to a totally different set of customers.

Hypercard was deep-sixed because of the huge amount of support resources it gobbled up. That what I heard, so YMMV.

Snakes are still there, and so are primates. Shouldn't we be seeing more speciation as time goes on?

That actually would be pretty neat - force or opt-in everyone who uses the browser to be part of it.
The downside is the aggravation of being collateral damage in some investigation.

What ways are that? The article gives no details, just a statement. I'm sure if the suggestions were 'barely noticeable' more people would do them.
All that other stuff is bullshit. Once you combine teledildonics with direct brain stimulation, it's game over man.

How did they get their signing certificate and developer account if they're anonymous?
Is that 100 GB/sec, 100 Gbps/sec, 100 GiB/sec, or 100 GiB over 9 hours?

Luckily, all they have to do is retarget their VB apps for the Windows RT runtime...right? RIght? Isn't that what the rep said?
