Nevanlinna was born 22 October 1895. Nobel signed his last will 27 November 1895 establishing the funds for the Nobel Price. Nobel died 10 December 1896. So clearly Nobel knew nothing about Nevanlinna's mathematical work.
The article is garbage. Bring up some unsubstantiated rumors. Add some click-bait names, Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Satoshi Nakamoto. Instant Slashdot posting.
I'm a software engineer in my sixties. I got hired last year by Amazon. Two weeks ago I finally updated by LinkedIn profile to include my "new" job at Amazon. Within a week I was contacted by Google to hear if I would be interested in pursuing a career at Google.
Based on my educational background posted on my LinkedIn profile it should be clear that I'm at least 55+. I actually had an internal recruiter at a different company recommending me to remove the year I got my degree from my profile as it leaked my age.
What if Microsoft kept all its internal emails on servers outside the US. Should the Federal Government not be allow to serve a subpoena? Microsoft could even move it around from country to country effective hiding it from all governments.
Go and watch Stanford Colloquium where Rick Rashid from Microsoft Research shows a live demo from China translating from English to Chinese in real time. It's near the end (1:09).
Machine learning is a field where calculus is used pervasively. How do you do parameter estimation in a neural network? It's the chain rule from calculus. Who is using machine learning? Spam detection (Hotmail, Gmail). Speech recognition, natural language UI (Apple Siri, Google Now). Recommender systems (Amazon, Netflix). Image recognition (Google Goggles).
If this is an assert as it appears to be, my question is, why is it in shipping code. Normally asserts are controlled by the NDEBUG symbol (or equivalent) which is undefined in optimized builds. In my opinion asserts should not be in shipping code. You should have something more solid in place.
This is an Indian news site. You have to ask yourself how much is due to changes in the exchange rate? I think at least some of the increases could be attributed to that.
So, if a company commits fraud (take peoples money, don't deliver products), Visa and Mastercard are not allowed to cut them off before a court has delivered judgement? Even with thousands of complains? Of course with most of these companies you would have to have multiple judgements for different countries.
I have just finished a couple of online classes with udacity, Applied Cryptography CS387 and Design of Computer Programs CS212. The latter class was fine although they totally messed up the final. Each problem required corrections and/or clarifications. CS387 was a joked taught by a novice. Things like using padding that you can’t reverse, or sending encrypted messages that only a person who intercepts multiple of them can decrypt (the intended recipients were unable to decrypt the message they received). Or how do you like to have a “professor” who after several attempts over several days can’t correctly phrase a question on the final. Happily we now have a video giving the “correct answer” to a nonsense question. Final stupidity, he subtracted 8 from 64 and got 58. Incompetent in my opinion.
That is what you have to put up with right now. There is a long way for this to be of serious value.
Microsoft has a matching program for employee donation. It matches dollar by dollar and even donates $17 per hour if you do volunteer work.
Microsoft also have the Giving Campaign (October in the US). Here different groups compete about raising the most donations (cash). There are fund raising events like breakfast with your Senior VP being your server, or auctions (dinner at home with Bill Gates is typical a top draw ~$50,000).
In 2009 the Giving Campaign raised $70 million (cash) in the US. That is $35 millions from employees (about $500 per employee) and $35 millions from MS.
I have always wondered about C++ header files. Take the Standard C++ Library, things like like the file "algorithm". Here you have the entire implementation of things like sort written as a template function which gets instantiated into actual code compiled and linked into your project.
I presume such header files can be copyrighted. It actually requires thinking to do a good implementation of a template function doing sort (typically IntroSort).
Since the instantiation gets compiled into your code what license covers your project?
According to this Symantec blog turning on DEP for Acrobat Reader prevents this type of attack.
If you run Windows, I would recommend you run with "DEP for all programs and services" with no exceptions.
India provides a lot of help to Afghanistan, trying to stabilize the country. I suggest you do a search on "India+Afghanistan". Also, the most deadly suicide attack in Afghanistan this year was against the Indian embassy (a week ago). Why do you think the militants would attack the Indian embassy? Because they are sitting idle on the sideline?
Apple maintains compatibility with 32 bit drivers because Leopard still has a 32 bit kernel. Apple has a long way to go before they have a true 64 bit operating system.
The idea about making the computer the hub for digital cameras or digital music didn't originate with Apple. Micorosoft used the concept when introducing Windows Me.
Take a look at CNN Tech from September 2000, where the representative from Microsoft states that "Microsoft wants to make the PC act as a hub for other kinds of computing activities".
Apple sold fewer computers in FY2005 than FY2000. In the same periods Dell more than doubled. Apple stock value has nothing to do with computers but everything to do with the iPod. So, why compare it with Dell?
And Michael Dell is not the only CEO making stupid remarks about other companies. How about Steve Jobs comment about Microsoft going out of business?
The license price for Windows is identical for the top 10 OEMs. That is part of the consent decree with DoJ. Microsoft can't pressure the OEMs. The OEMs can't pressure Microsoft.
Microsoft released on July 16, 2003 a patch for the vulnerability that the Blaster worm took advantage of. Blaster was released August 11, 2003. So, you have your timeline totally screwed up.
Some engineer/manager at Apple decided that Widgets are safe. Hence this is an architectural blunder. The buffer overflow that Blaster took advantage of was a simple programming error. I don't care whether you prefer one over the other. The point is, that the two issues are very different.

See e.g. Yahoo Finance. One of the strongest according to the article.

No it is not. The game plays just fine using Silverlight.
Compared to Flash, Silverlight has an excellent security history. Yes, I know that doesn't say much.

No. Microsoft licensed it from Apple Apple vs Microsoft.

Mac OS Leopard only has a 32-bit kernel. So no, Leopard is not 64-bit, at least not in my book.
Apple maintains compatibility with 32 bit drivers because Leopard still has a 32 bit kernel. Apple has a long way to go before they have a true 64 bit operating system.
Apple's OS X had the same problem until 10.3. See Apple KB article
