"On Wednesday, the 12-year-old service quietly said it would cut off unlimited ratings access to companies that do not share their own evaluations of submitted samples" ref
By not sharing their own evaluations these companies are also facilitating the hackers, are they not. Does software evaluation firm AV-TEST contribute their own evaluations to VirusTotal?

Anonymous Troll: "I don't blame Microsoft for this. Clearly it sounds like ASUS made a booboo in their BIOS and up to this point has not caused any noticeable effects. Now it is, and they need to fix it, and they did."
Not only that, Asus invented a tachyon transmitter and sent a msg back in time before Windows 7 telling the Asus engineers to deliberately insert the design flaws.
"Microsoft knew ahead of time the update would cause problems for some users but decided to do nothing about it."
Have you given serious consideration to the thought that they deliberately caused KB3133977 to fail to enthuse users to upgrade to Windows 10. If this strikes you as being a little paranoid, MS did exactly this, as in causing Windows apps to crash on OS/2, causing windows clients to not play nice with Netwarerefref and throwing up an error when Windows 3.1 was installed under DR-DOS.
"As Windows 7 does not support Secure Boot, with the update of KB3133977"
How does 'upgrading' an OS cause it to lose functionality?
"the whole incident was nothing more than an oversight on the medical unit's side"
What if the unit had started to record erroneous date in the middle of the operation, would that also make an oversight on the medical unit's side. seriously, what the fuck is Windows even doing in an Operating Theater.

There are some technological benefits from living under our corporate overlords. As there are loses, such as not being able to choose politicians who will work in our interrests. The question is - is it worth it - giving up control over our lives to a global Panopticon for access to cheap shiny gadgets. The pretext for transfering power to such entities being to protect us from the 'terrorists', the 'war on drugs' etc. The terrorist threat being used as a pretext to prosecute a medium sized war in some far away place. I only wish Mr Robot was entirely imaginary.
As someone else pointed out the msg of Avatar isn't anti technology but more opposed to the kind of neofeudal corporatism that we're all headed into, where the nation state operates at the behest and at the interests of the major multi-nationals. It's interesting seeing a similar msg coming through in such as Mr. Robot and Continuum.
"the next phase of the case will head to court in May, where a jury will decide if Google had the right to use certain parts of Oracle's programming language, Java, for free or if it owes Oracle damages"
Google designed a totally independent implementation of the Java API. Java was originally described as being free to use unencumbered by a license by Jonathan Schwartz before Sun sold it to Oracle. The Google version used in android is a totally independent and unique design. Does not use the Java Virtual Machine but one of Dalvik or the Android Runtime (ART).
"Schwartz explained that if the Apache Software Foundation wished to release a product, even if it implemented Java APIs through Apache Harmony, it could do so without a license -- so long as it does not call it Java." ref
Wouldn't be the first time some fraud was trying to rustle up some free publicity. Remember Ken Starks and his issues with Karen of AISD who banned Linux from the classroom. Thing is AISD had no knowlege of the issue: Linux - Stop holding our kids back
Currently Starks is having issues with the 'Taylor Housing Authority', as in 2013 they refused permission for Starks to site a computer in one of their housing projects citing a lack of appliance inspection. Last Feb they contacted Starks requesting 125 for their residents: Be Careful of What You Wish For...No, Seriously

Surly, botnets infect computers, specifically Microsoft Windows in this case. how exactly does JAKU initially infect the victims?

$25,000, that works out less than than they're paying the average director.

It says here the source of the leak was Ramón Fonseca’s former mistress and employee.
