Seriously? KPMG are one of the big 4 accountancy and audit firms in the world. The only way that I can see that this post isn't just for the sake of calling out the headline is if you didn't know administration was a form of bankruptcy protection, but, its a fairly known international term at that.
How is this even news - TeaLeaf, since being bought by IBM is near ubiquitous on most new e-com deployments, and in this community I thought enough people would have known this fact..
"A USB", please, I feel ashamed coming here now. A new low.
While it may not sit comfortably with you, 'A USB' is clearly now passed into common language in this context to mean 'A portable storage device, with a USB A connector supporting the USB mass storage device type'.
I guarantee that if I shout over to my colleague across the room 'Have you got a USB I can borrow', we will pass me a USB flash drive rather than either a port, a section of motherboard, or a standard.
Sorry if i've mis understood something, but I thought the 'WiFi Router name' (I assume meaning SSID, if it was the BSSID it would be even worse!) was only available through APIs when loc services are enabled? Have I missed something, or is it a bug in the Location Services API?
But they have done things right, they have changed the rules to report on viewing in the 3rd party app installs in order for the providers of those apps to serve ads. They did a key facts email, made the changes clear, and from a diff of the TOS have stuck to it. They have also kept the TOS, therefore the contract between paying plus customers and them, clear in the privacy for content served from their own devices. While, technically, yes, they could change that bit silently - firstly that wouldn't be binding, secondly they have shown they don't want to act that way by making sure everyone is clear on any changes to the TOS.
Didn't the TOS say it is only for installed 3-rd party apps to serve ads in their 3rd part content? If you don't want that, don't install the 3rd party apps and don't consume their content at the expense of this.
Err - haven't they stated in the change of TOS it is only for third party apps? Therefore it is only for the add-on services you get free, so in those apps they can serve adds economically? Nothing you get from plus-pass is affected.
Plex has made it ludicrously clear that the change of TOS only applies to the 3rd party apps for the purpose of ad-serving, in the scope of the apps only.
Two things here:
1) They actually did a short key facts summary, rather than leaving people to sort through their TOS for changes, and from what I can see with a diff on the TOS have kept to it.
2) The TOS still do not allow any reporting on media provided 'personally' and from personal sources.
So, from what I can see, they are monitoring in the right way, making sure that people bring content to their platform have the data to keep doing so, while at the same time drawing a legal shield between that and the content they proxy between personal devices, through their platform, to another personal device.
Yes, it only works on limited OS install numbers
Yes, you have to be lucky
But someone has devoted his time and effort to find a way to rollback some of the damage cause by a major bit of malware. It may only be for a small subset, but he has published the code (we're all for that here, right?) so maybe it may inspire someone else, with a knowledge of memory allocation and cleanup on a different target platform, who may then have a light bulb moment!

Awww - you think that every company should be ready to go global instantly? Despite the myriad of complications that suppliers throw at them to be able to do business in a new market? Looks like your concept of global trade is shit.
I dont like it, in fact I hate it, but given one of the biggest uses of VPN is watch other market licenced content on netflix etc., I can totally understand the streaming companies decisions. Of course they have to region lock content. Otherwise they have no fucking content.
You are a complete lunatic. The UK is under the same barrage of bullshit as the US, in that people see that rubbish, believe it, and back the chinless elitist wankers in elections to save them from the strawman.
As a Brit who spends most of his work week abroad, its not surprising.
We make some of the most amazing TV, however because of that, the rights holders want to hold on to distribution as long as possible. When I'm away with work, it never stops amazing me just how much more of the content I'd want to watch at home is available on Netflix, Amazon et. al. abroad. Not just the shows available, but the latest series of those shows, often over a year before you can watch them in the UK on the same services.
Maybe a lot of this (especially with movies) is to do with how much BSkyB has a hold over the UK TV industry, although ironically that means my biggest VPN usage is from abroad to watch Sky Go abroad!
Cap costs aren't in profit and loss. They are reporting the carrying costs of the loan to build the gigafactory, not the cost of the gigafactory.
A little bit of a naive view and a bit harsh considering their accounts justify his point a little - The accounts for R&D and sales network are OpEx, therefore entirely conceivable that ramping up for a new model with big forecasts gives a loss now.
Further, they are at profit before OpEx - so the cost of manufacturing isn't what it dragging them down. Your point about interest doesn't hold either, interest is only 40m of a 280m loss last qtr.
I have had problems in the past where I have had a failed drug test in the past for Amphetamines, and was not told this until I kept challenging why I failed. It was only later this was a false positive for Methylphenidate, while being an illegal drug in the UK without prescription, I have one.
If I hadn't have chased down why I failed it, it would have been upheld that I failed.
I had even stated in the pre-test form that I take it, so something broke down in the chain. I did resent having to declare this however, as my ADHD management is my own business, not my employers if my management strategies mean I can perform.
...because a successful businessman who have a proven track record of being able to predict future trends in business has made a $1bn bet that this particular tech company will keep growing? On a site about tech news?

It's all very well and good to have a new 'for Workstations' update, but I've been waiting 25 years to update my Workgroups edition.
We all know who is the triggered one here, little coward. Probably the one reaching for shift-8 to act big :)
Why is everyone so down on this?
Yes, it only works on limited OS install numbers
Yes, you have to be lucky

This may very well be my favourite comment of all time.
Mainly because it also implies the poster understands that 'their may be valid reasons not to comply, the full implications should be understood.'

You think you cant get porn on the internet in the UK? Are you sure you are thinking of the UK, rather than Neptune?

Tested positive for Amphetamines while taking Methylphenidate - how is that not a false positive? They aren't the same drug...
I have had problems in the past where I have had a failed drug test in the past for Amphetamines, and was not told this until I kept challenging why I failed. It was only later this was a false positive for Methylphenidate, while being an illegal drug in the UK without prescription, I have one.
