Computer Security is boring to most people, and when you give them funny names, or funny logos, issues become more likely popular, and are easier memorized.
From the last weekly meeting of oneget developers I can tell that the chief developer wants to integrate oneget into the traditional Microsoft update UI.
Thats something very odd by Microsoft. I just think: WTF? Microsoft and Open source? and even more: Microsoft and open source that ships with windows?? Really, something has moved in redmond.
Flash has an install base of 99%. Of the 1% that don't have flash installed, there are some people (like me) who dislike it, but welcome the open web with all its new standards. So the people who have a worse experience (as they can't not install those 'bloaty features') are less than 1%. And even for you the situation improves. You can turn on and off everything you want or don't want, at least in firefox, in which there are about:config settings for most of the APIs. With flash you have a very binary choice. And for the other 99%: everybody who uninstalls flash is a reason more to have such APIs in the browser.
In their blog post, they pledged to implement opus for webrtc. Let's hope they also enable it for <audio> elements. But still I'm very happy about this, as perhaps one day I don't need a closed-source native application to chat and talk with my friends over skype.
ORTC can be seen as a microsoft troll of google, which has invested a lot of money into webrtc: http://bloggeek.me/ortc-webrtc... With WebRTC, google has a head start. With ORTC, the bias isn't as great.
And if google knows the answer, nobody cares what is on wikipedia. Therefore articles become inaccurate, which give Wikipedia a bad name. So no direct harm, yes, but a very strong indirect harm.
explain how to get into boot menu without using windows tools on UEFI devices. Either I have been too stupid, or microsoft very smart, but I haven't found any optiont o boot an EFI-capable stick without windows, at least for the hardware I were on. I could have tried to remove the HDD, but that could have voided warranty. What to do in this case?

So, there you go. WP doesn't suffer. The appearance of Wikipedia data in Google's Knowledge Panels furthers WP's goals.
Now google decides what appears in the info box. Also, the image is chosen by google, and all other data than the short description also come from some google database. So while wikipedia is still prominent, its position is weakened.
the current trend of google to create a "smart search" that directly answers your questions. Not because this isn't useful, but because projects like wikipedia suffer from it. This is even a direct competitor to wikidata. I still don't understand why wikidata isn't copyleft, its a bad descision in my eyes. Or isn't there any copyright on databases? Then i'll look forward for open google scraping projects.
The problem is that once released, all packages on an ubuntu distro don't get updates for features anymore. This is because ubuntu isn't rolling release like arch or other distros. There are only very few exceptions like firefox. Ubuntu relies on upstream maintaining that current branch, or canonical does if it is in the 'main' repository, and upstream doesn't do it. For packages outside 'main', the community has to provide patches, or they go unpatched.
This isn't being stubborn, this is just simply to keep something feature stable. This is neccessary for some people, and also something that microsoft does. But unlike microsoft, ubuntu also tries to keep almost all applications feature stable. This is harder than "just" a basic platform. And the basic platform is already in the 'main' repo, which gets patches.
But still I don't understand why Owncloud has been included in the first place if nobody wanted to provide patches for it. If nobody can do that, its not part of Ubuntu, simple as that. There is a ppa for ownloud for those who want to install it.

They should offer this to the user as an option, where the user has to pay less when tracking is enabled. Otherwise this is abuse of market power to make users agree to being tracked.

Yeah, I know of codeplex, but open source stuff that ships with windows is still rare, is it?

"Today, Firefox uses SSLv3 for only about 0.3% of HTTPS connections." : https://blog.mozilla.org/secur...
The browser vendors act this fast only because SSL 3.0 isn't used for almost all connections.

finally I can run a headless phone.

Simple. They control the nanodevices, so they control the apps to control the nanodevices. They add ads to the apps. They profit!
Yeah, the 99% are PC market share:

And speak with your hand in front of your lips, in case the AI knows lipreading.
is NSA now my backup service? Does this also apply for EU citizens?

At least they didn't taint my device with their software, that should be worth that money.
No, unless the exit node uses verizon wireless, too.

if you
1) use an online wallet
2) accept bad certs
you certainly live a risky life.
Yeah, but cloudflare is fair enough and warns TOR users with "Attention required"! :-)
