It just makes it no longer appear in the repository. No one gets notified the plugin is insecure, or that it has been removed from the repository at all. It just remains in 100,000 WordPress installations, unmaintained, forever.
Unfortunately nobody keeps Spamhaus in check, that's why they've become a degenerate network abuse source. Their DBL shows them for what they are now, something the rest of the Internet needs to shun.
Their director of security "reassured" customers Adboe's source code wasn't stolen? You want to know why Adobe's got problems that never end, that tells you everything you need to know about Adobe's attitude about security right there. The guy in charge of security doesn't even know what that word means.
"Desktop support" isn't really about desktops. DUH. It's about users, who won't be going anywhere, and will continue to need to have their hands held for even the most trivial of things.
Maybe "the cloud" will make Gartner go away. The Cloud can do anything right?
This is only news to the extent that Microsoft had a dumb policy that allowed such purchases to begin with. Imagine instead the headline read "Oracle bars employees from using company funds to buy DB2 or SAP." You'd think it was pretty dumb that they ever allowed that. This is the same thing.
I'm sure those who actually need to buy Apple products for competitive research at Microsoft are still allowed to. What they're not going to allow is their staff to run around with iPhones and iPads purchased on the company dime. Anymore, that is.
Perhaps things are different in Texas, but where I live the majority of traffic lights and stop signs are installed for the express purpose of impeding the flow of traffic. Trying to sell them a sensible system to improve traffic flow, reduce pollution and ticketable offenses is the last thing they'd be interested in.
The public wants an alternative to Facebook. Google+, as especially revealed by their "real names" policy is trying to be Facebook. G+ just is not filling any need of those who are unhappy with Facebook, let alone those who are happy.
Could be war by proxy, but the logic here is probably that Google will fight on its own behalf to the death for Android, as Oracle is about to find out, and it's more productive to scare the handset makers into not wanting to use Android. In this regard, whoever is calling these shots at Microsoft seems smarter than Larry Ellison.
When you first run Weave/Sync on a given machine, it asks you for a passphrase. It's going to be a problem if you don't remember it, since you'll need this passphrase to be able to read the data elsewhere.
This is just a pointless degradation of the search results. Google needs to stop screwing around with the accuracy of their results like this or they too will find themselves displaced by a competitor that focuses on relevancy of the content and not irrelevant outside factors.
For the unbearably slow, there's always Google Cache.
Yes, I do. You do realize we're talking about Manhattan? If you knew what things cost in Manhattan (and I do, being there helps in that regard) you wouldn't have to ask.

Apparently he can't afford to purchase decent email service. Maybe someday he'll create something important and then he can get off the crap freemail.
You want an accurate progress bar? Hire Nate Silver to design it.
No, they don't send any such thing.

When Android disappears before they do, ask that again. Until then, use common sense.

Implemented in 1983. Who was president then? Oh yeah, Reagan. Nice try at revisionist history masquerading as revisionist history exposed.
The original "app stores" for Linux are its package repos.
srsly

Zagat's former CTO was quite a Microsoft enthusiast. Wonder what Google's going to do with that pile of stuff.
The screen you can't touch is about the only thing seriously threatened by touch screens. And for some cases the pointing device (mouse/trackpad/etc.)
Actually Wall St.'s computers are also gathered in Brooklyn.

You can install Firefox Sync on your own server (like I have), and then Mozilla won't even see your encrypted data.

The Economist has been getting this right forever. Full current and back issues, and they never tried to foist PDFs on subscribers instead of HTML.

I can hear the broker now. "It's a steal at only $3 million. It'd be six million if it didn't have the cancer ray beamed at your bedroom."
srsly.
