You'll save $1.1 trillion dollars, and it'll only cost you $900B in investment! Please make check payable to IBM in capital expense dollars, not the operating expense savings that we're showing you.
It's funny how such studies show fantastic savings, but you can't actually buy the solution with those purported savings. You can't point the finger and say "these are the people you'll fire, and these are the systems that will get turned off". And the companies offering such a solution won't accept payment with the funny money savings either.
I wonder how they found out that the length of the passphrase is 50 characters. Did he brag to the authorities? Was there some way of detecting the length of the passphrase when they looked at the encrypted key?
Why isn't Siemens being taken to task here?

Stuxnet Worms On

Before Stuxnet, I'm sure the general public had no idea that Siemens was selling technology to Iran to fulfill its nuclear ambitions. Given that the west has a lot of misgivings about letting Iran do so, shouldn't western companies be a little more careful who they sell nuclear reactor parts to? I don't necessarily want to compare them to IBM's role in selling computers to the Nazis, but is there some point where you take some corporate responsibility before profits?
It was probably more during the 9600 baud days than 300 baud, but oh how I remember staying up at night just to take advantage of the next day's activity in Legend of the Red Dragon. I don't remember altogether HOW they game was played (I'm kind of thinking it was EAMON except online) but the player vs player activities really meant that you had to watch out for the other guy about to jump you.
Fit on the head of a pin? At least that's all I remember when I whenever Isee a museum exhibit about the history of computing power. I'm sure we can dig up a few pinheads along with a couple of redundant pinheads to preserve all of this data.
that they want users to use any app they want and start building some momentum in their app store?
For a smart phone platform as popular as RIM, you'd think that there'd be more people using 3rd party apps, yet outside of facebook client and google maps, I rarely see people using applications that didn't come on the phone in the first place.
Seems like BlackBerry wants to determine what their customers want even before a market's developed around it, and without that market, the developers won't come build the SuperApps that they want.
When the special editions came out in the late 90s, they re-released each movie in the original trilogy like every 3 weeks. Now I love Star Wars, changes & all, but still it felt about as close as back to back to back as I'd want to get (yes, I know many of us watch all 3 in the span of a day, but I'm not one of them).
If they released one a year, well at least that gives me some time to breathe and actually get EXCITED about seeing the next one.
Let's see - I have never been in China and don't plan to go in the near future - maybe if Google added a feature that allows me to CONTROL what countries I can access it from, it could alleviate a lot of this problem.
I'm sure those crafty hackers will find a way around it and divert through a US waypoint, but there's no need for my account to have broad access from countries I am never going to access it from.
It may not be a lot to the investment banker, but I'm sure that most of the people committing these crimes have the option of becoming an investment banker.
I think the most amazing part of the article was "citing the head of Microsoft's ClearType team, who says 'I'd be glad to ditch thousands of paper- and hard-backed books from my bookshelves. I'd rather have them all on an iPad."
That should require a Ballmer chair throwing or two. Not only is it an Apple product, it has no ClearType on it, so the praise given is even more unusual.
Technically, the guy says that he predicts the format is dying (i.e. bluray is currently in use but he forsees the day that his approach, downloads, will overtake physical media). He doesn't actually say that it's dead (past tense) like the headline states.

Most major games worth playing on Windows are available on XBOX 360. Some games even run better on 360 than they do on PC. The pool of games that both require windows and are not available on console is getting smaller
Sure there are some users who adhere to PC gamin, but I'm thinking that the "typical home user" is quite happy with console gaming in its place.
After factoring in all of the taxes added to your monthly phone bill, your $45 plan usually looks more like $62 out of your pocket a month. It sounds like with this plan, $45 really means $45.
It looks like that Apple TV is out to replace cable companies, but I think that's only a superficial view of the long term plan. There's been no announcement to date that Apple plans to offer any channel that appears on cable.. rather they go through online content providers. They complete skipped the major gripe of cable, i.e. to offer a "subscribe to channels you want ala carte", and changed the game to "buy what episodes you want to see, on demand".
Which leads to the question.. so what role do the networks play in the grand scheme of things... NBC / ABC / CBS / FOX are not all developing their own content, they buy that content from a show producer. If Apple develops enough mindshare and living rooms, you don't need NBC to order the episodes of a new show, Apple can buy it directly from the show's producers.
This could be a great play to cut out all the middlemen, not just the cable company or the satellite monthly fee, but the entire tv network system as well... it's possibly the biggest change in the business of TV in 50 years, and frankly none of the TV networks seem to notice yet.
Managing configuration for one box is easy. Sometimes managing configuration for multiples of the same box is doable. But managing configuration for a large scale multi-vendor deployment is a headache that nobody solves particularly well, and the tools for checking the various things (patch level, logs, configuration scanning, etc) typically all come from different security vendors and those don't work together either.
Would you feel differently about Big Lebowski Bowling if you knew it was created in North Korea?
well based on the name and that it's flash based, I'm inclined to think that it sucks, horribly. So the answer is No, I wouldn't feel differently knowing that it came from NK because I don't beleve that will make the game any better
That for the most part, when media pundits make fun of an upcoming Apple product, more often than not, it's exactly what the market's been looking for. It's easy to tear down something on a technical basis but nobody will call the writer out when they get their predictions wrong.
Did they take into consideration that no movie about Iraq has been a big hit in the United States? It's taboo because Americans are a little too close to the subject matter - nobody wants to see "entertainment" about a war when sons & daughters are current involved in the theater of operations.
for the creator of the Georgia Guidestones! As a reminder, the Georgia Guidestones are a gigantic monument with several notable qualities, the most prominent being a multi-language warning against overpopulation, laws, nature, and national boundary disputes. The second most notable quality is that nobody knows who ordered the creation of this monument.
He will be surprised to discover that the primary users of his technology will use it for a word-by-word critique of his novel. It's easier to tear down than it is to build.

May 9, 1979 is also the anniversary of the second unabomber attack.
Correction, May 9, 1979 was the date of the second unabomber attack. The anniversaries are the subsequent May 9ths in the years following.
but none of the collateral damage scenarios did happen, so does that change your slippery slope speculation and accusations?
It was Star Trek Next Generation - The Vengence Factor. Only one in a million Acamarians have the DNA which this virus was designed to kill.
