Yea, it's designed as standard behaviour. There's a post extraction utility that'll run any valid script. But who in their right minds runs somefile.exe on their 'computer'. Oh, wait, no need to answer that one.

Most managerial material are practically incompetent. What they are good at is taking credit for other peoples work, manipulating people and projecting a general air of infallibility. That's why they're managers and you aren't.

They succeeded by ripped stuff mostly from Lotus, and creating undocumentated APIs that would give Excel an advantage under Windows and giving MS developers preferential access to OCXAPIs and paying people to destroy their Lotus 123 System Disks:)
"A new report coauthored by Google researchers and a host of academics explains that firewalls, two-factor authentication and other traditional defensive capabilities put security teams in a constant dogfight against cybercrime."
None of these ineffective measures would be necessary if researchers could design a client side 'computer', that can distinguish between code and data and won't execute code downloaded over the Internet.
"Outbreaks of infectious diseases like Ebola follow a depressing pattern: People start to get sick, public health authorities get wind of the situation, and an all-out scramble begins to determine where the disease started and how it's spreading"
I though Ebola spread because of the traditional burial practices of the indigenous peoples. Namely some traditional healer traveling from the next village over, performing a 'purification' ritual, consisting of a crude form of embalming and 'sitting in' with the deceased. The healer goes back to her home village and dies from Ebola. People from miles around attend the funeral and go back home and spread Ebola. Over three hundred cases from the one funeral ref.
"As Sunday's outage demonstrates, the Amazon Web Services cloud is critical to many of its more than 1 million customers"
I thought the outage demonstrated the relative unreliability of Amazon cloud Services. What are the legally binding terms of services that AWS provide in relation to uptime.
In the case of Uber, have the conventional taxi companies offer a similar service. That means where there isn't a conventional taxi available, then the trip is offered to the on-line drivers.
People who use innovation' in the title usually don't have any.
