I think due diligence can be done with audits, but those will be costly and they have to be done on a schedule to make sure things stay up to snuff.
The question often becomes, as with Adobe right now, how quickly can you get back up and running when a snafu occurs. If you control your own backup servers and redundancy and offsite storage, you will know exactly how long it will take to get back up and running.
Android is taking over but taking over what? The Yugos & Fiats of the phone world. And Android is, well, fragmented into a huge number of pieces and continuing to fragment & suffer a huge amount of malware-security & upgradability issues. The question is who will take over Android and turn it into a long term stable, safe platform is it Tizen?
Articles like this are sensationalism, pure and simple.
Apple knows that in the end hardware & the OS is only part of the "mobile phone industry". The UI, app developers, content, content delivery and ease of use are the extra pieces that make a smartphone.
People exist who still only want to place phone calls 90+% of the time and they couldn't care less about anything but a cheap phone, texting and a bit of email. They simply won't be able to buy a "feature phone" soon, because few of those will be made.
Government ought to be required to use commercial products for common tasks and functions rather than having lifer government employees creating a duplicate system from scratch that doesn't truly add anything to answering the needs of their employees.
We are in a system where government waste has become a cancer strangling the economy with taxes in all their forms which now amount to basically half the GDP.
20 years of extreme hot weather in Congress from all the BS hot air every day (at least every day they work which is not what you think).
Lets vote in more States & Personal Rights with a constitutional ammendment and limit the hot air guys by taking away their UNLIMITED power to spend your dollars, and even the future value of your dollars by "printing" excess dollars which devalues what you save.
A physical key still opens a door, even when the battery is dead.
Both my electronic keys have failed after 8 years, but the metal key still works. The mechanical touch switches gradually failed. One failed by having the elastomeric cover break open and fall off and the other just stopped the "open" function, though "lock works".
None of this would be so bad until you get the cost to replace an 8 year old pair of keys. To say I went ballistic would be putting it mildly.
"and risk the life of an officer." That was the answer from the San Diego police department when my friend's sone lost his iPhone in a major hotel out of the dining room.
My friend is an attorney involved in major San Diego port affairs. Made no diff. "We don't go into that barrio without a SWAT team."
Sean would "wish my country would do more to be a meaningful part of a solution." Easy! Persuade Asia to stop building coal power plants & stop burning wood for cooking and heating.
Using sensors which can pick signatures over time (bother before and after the crash) of various metals, like aluminum, titanium and steel (radiation as in spectrophotomry), sounds like the type of info you need. Getting it out of satellite info from orbit is a bit of a surprise to me.
What this indicated, from the article, to me is that the military has far higher capabilities than I ever thought.
Long range WiFi >10 miles using highly directional Yagi antennas (& of course microwave transmission) is already possible and sometimes for really low cost, though primarily line of sight.

That is what happens when a company realizes they don't know what to do to get new creative apps out to a larger base of customers.\
Sad but true. Definite limitation of the Adobe Board of Directors.

What happens when the intercontinental Internet goes down because of War or other cataclysmic event?
The history of both the Earth and mankind says these events will happen.
At that point, how do companies and countries continue functioning "when the cable gets cut?"
Bring it on in the Sierras!
Do a quick bunch of mealy mouthed video bites proclaiming solidarity and further cooperation to, well, study the situation.
I have no faith in our leaders here in the US or in the EU to stop Putin.

There needs to be a law!

It is sick.
What a travesty.
They are already writing their books, guaranteed
Since our Atty General Mr. Holder, says he can choose which laws to obey, then there are no laws, no rules, except what he chooses to do.
Time for the States to stand up and take back powers from the Federal Government because it has become the USSR, United States Socialist Republic.
Kick the bastards out!
If the computer has to decide to his a car or a person, what does it do?
What do the lawyers and lawmakers do?
What does your insurance company do?

Well, Microsoft has a computer we will sell you, preloaded with everything you need; sign here.

Give me a metal key any day.

Oh, wait, they already did that with the Saturn dealers.
The object of Cloward & Pivens is to cause a total financial collapse. That will be done by Marxism.
Once the collapse is done, the new "Elite Party" (my name) will rise to properly own and control and dispense everything to the populace (slaves.)
Except that you only see and hear what certain people say and what the REAL outcome is, not the smoke and mirrors.
Obama went to Columbia when Cloward and Pivens wrote their report on how to convert the USA to socialism. Sure looks like Obama is doing this.
Socialism, Marxism, whatever you want to call it, Obama has told us he wants to fundamentally transform the USA. Fact is, he is DOING IT.

Carrying boxes of IBM cards to the computing center was a pain, particularly if you dropped a box before you diagnonally marked the deck.
I was glas to get to a teletype with paper tape by the early 70s.
The view I get (from one who stopped at Fortran) is that there is an incredible amount of variety in how programmers look at a "language."
Divergent opinions from experienced programmers gives me a different view of what current programming involves.
