  1. This is software (microcode) vulnerabilities, not hardware. I don't know why this attack would matter, it needs a malicious hypervisor. I only read the summary, because it really doesn't matter. The cloud isn't secure anyway.

  2. So basically you are saying these headphones (and Apple products) are not manufactured in C3WM countries? What planet are you from?

    First thing dudes will do is turn on the "tune out wife" setting. Amirite fellas?

  4. They released their flagship product (iPhone) that requires wireless headphones by default, and don't have the wireless headphones ready for sale synchronized with the release?

    Damn, I hope you aren't a tax accountant. If you get $1000 but then give it away you don't have to pay taxes on the $1000? And no one pays taxes on corporate gifts in reality.

  6. CEO Gift on Alphabet Donated Its Employees' Holiday Gifts To Charity (fortune.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    P.S. The CEO got a $12 million Christmas bonus and kept it all.

  7. Not sure what this has to do with carrier locking. Carrier unlocked phones don't get updated either necessarily even if Google updates the OS. The problem is there is no "Android OS". It is simply a modular set of software that gets put together. It is up to the company that put it together to decide to update it or not. Most won't bother as there is no profit in it, just expense.

  8. Maybe they should have thought about that when the designed a defective product. It is 2016, we shouldn't have exploding phones.

  9. This is common in tech. It creates an illusion of leaps of progress in tech. The reality is that the tech industry has reached a dead end with the death of Moore's Law. You will see incremental progress from here on out, but no more large leaps like we have had for the previous 40 years.

    No need for fusion. We have the NASA EmDrive, which has been proven to work by NASA. By NASA Eagleworks.

    You don't really need to develop anything. The actual engineering is trivial. The hard part is figuring out that you need to "add asteroid dust to the hull to block radiation". And we had worked that out years ago. Some of that was worked out here on Slashdot!!!

    This is personally really bad for me. I was one of the people who were selected to go and was all ready and trained. I am not sure what could be the problem here, we had a good plan and website. Maybe just a temporary snag?

  15. C++? Thats ancient. I was told that Swift and Rust are the future.

    Perhaps you missed the Google "Do No Evil" pledge. They wouldn't do anything like that.

    Ah I see...good point. Didn't think of that. I learn something new every day. I didn't know people printed from phones/tablets. I'm a 1980s guy.

  18. Re:I'm ok with that on Google Cloud Print Is Turning Off Epson Printers (pcmag.com) · · Score: 1

    That ain't what happened. What happens is the printer is turned off and won't print because of the bug in the firmware that shuts it down because of the CloudPrint API. The problem now is things are so complex, and there are so many API endpoints involved in printing a document. Do people really need to print to their printer when they are outside their LAN?

    You lack courage.

  20. Well the iPhone 8 is going to have TWO screens. One on the front and one on the back.

  21. Maybe they can now help me find a job through LinkedIn. I am an expert in Rust and Swift.

    You have an even shorter memory. You can buy a Mifi device right now that use cellular and run any app you want over it.

  23. VR is a joke. You cannot solve the problem of motion sickness caused by the disconnect between what the eyes see and the inner ear senses. VR is a dead end, but AR has promise.

    100% correct. Which is why 99% of the music we hear is the same, especially today. Even the supposed "indie" bands are part of the RIAA.
