Sure, you can rely on Google to not screw this up. Or you can change your settings to only see images from people you know, and only then when the image might have useful content. Or both. Which approach do you think improves the odds that if there is a problem, someone else discovers it first and it gets fixed before it is a problem for you?
Image formats have been used to compromise browsers in the past, so automatically loading images in your webmail or email client is a bad idea. Fortunately this is just a change from the default behavior so you can turn it off in the options.
In fact, Microsoft just patched a.tiff image format exploit last Tuesday.
It really does not make sense. They have logs of where you and I took our cellphones, who we called, who and what we texted. But not what was happening on their own secure network with an unvetted Dell subcontractor admin. Yeah right.
Long ago both nVidia and ATI incorporated patented Microsoft technologies into their GPUs to support DirectX and get their drivers onto the Windows install images. This allowed them to dominate more open competitors who are no longer with us. These core features of their GPUs cannot be documented for the use of OpenGL under NDA. They could create pure OpenGL graphics cards that can have fully open drivers but believe there is no market for it. If the Steambox and SteamOS are fantastically successful it will be proven for them and the chains will be broken. Since Microsoft seems to have chosen a side with AMD, here is nVidia's chance to shine with Team Open. Frankly both were needing to get away from this model anyway because of GPGPU. Open compute is a freaking huge market all by itself and they don't like black box drivers.
Engineers from Valve and NVIDIA have spent a lot of time collaborating on a common goal for SteamOS: to deliver an open-platform gaming experience with superior performance and uncompromising visuals directly on the big screen.
NVIDIA engineers embedded at Valve collaborated on improving driver performance for OpenGL; optimizing performance on NVIDIA GPUs; and helping to port Valve’s award-winning content library to SteamOS; and tuning SteamOS to lower latency, or lag, between the controller and onscreen action.
The collaboration makes sense as both companies strongly believe in the importance of open-platform innovation, and both companies are committed to providing gamers with a cutting-edge visual experience.
Valve will deliver a great, open-platform gaming experience, and NVIDIA will continue to be the best choice for gaming on any open platform or operating system, including SteamOS.
Oh, yeah. Fragmentation has clearly been blocking Android's success since 2008, before the first phone was introduced. If it weren't for this fatal flaw Android might have been popular by now.
Lots of people don't like how Google is handling the integration of all their services, including social media. Certainly I'm not a fan of the whole "real name" thing, having been online for so long I know how that story ends. But what to do? They work in a world where this is how to succeed. For some things like social media real names work. For passionate discourse there are still forums where you can use your "handle" like in days of yore.
At least here is not another example of Microsoft's "stacked panels" from when they got their byzantine document formats accepted as an international standard.
BTW: some AC troll is trying to make me look bad by counter-replying in threads I comment in. That wasn't me, obviously.
Not just this one project, Android, sold to Google for $50M and turned into a global mobile powerhouse that transformed the world. Some of his previous products turned out nicely as well. He was responsible WebTV, which sold to Microsoft for $425M before they turned it into nothing special. And for the Sidekick (Danger, Inc), which was huge for a while and the company sold to Microsoft for $1B before they turned it into the Kin and killed it. He is a serial innovator with grand vision and a long history of success. One of a handful of people at this level on the planet.
Gee I wish I had thought about that before I ordered this box of checks with my account number printed on every one. Gosh I wonder how many copies of this number I have mailed out over the years.

In it.

Which one seats six comfortably? XBox.

There is a reason the application is named Sharepoint.

How is the fragmentation of Windows useful for anything except generating turnover for Microsoft and Intel?
Speaking of which, fragmentation doesn't seem to be holding Windows back much either - and Windows is far more fragmented than Android could ever be.
Call it what you want. nVidia claims to be working closely with Valve, including embedding their own engineers in the project.

It's Microsoft's attempt to mirror Google.com.
The wonderful thing about standards is there are so many to choose from.

Andy Rubin wants to do robots. His last project turned out well, so he gets to make robots.
Maybe they underestimated the demand for their Beta. People seem to be going nuts over it.
Any excuse for a trip to Newegg. It seems GPUs have come a long way since I last bought one.
Or maybe nVidia had more engineers to spare to support Valve, what with AMD being busy with the XBone/PS4 launch and all.
Very nice. Thank you.

Margins on Internet service for the big ISPs is about 80%.
