So it's OK for the US to audit Kaspersky's source code for hidden backdoors (and Kaspersky is highly regarded for offering it), but it's not OK for Russia to audit McAfee's source code for hidden backdoors.
McAfee does not set the policies of Kaspersky as to if they let people look at the code. Whether or not it's "OK" for one company to choose one thing and another company to choose another thing is a false dynamic. Both can choose to do whatever they like.
It's apparent that there is growing resentment over Amazon's impact on the city, and maybe Amazon is planning ahead for a day when the local political environment is too hostile to support its continued growth.
The net effect of Amazon leaving Seattle would be like the auto industry leaving Detroit. There would be a mass exodus of hipsters, and in a sense the Amazon Bubble would pop leaving a significant number of losers.
That's essentially what Google is doing, but without the investment in infrastructure and in most cases inventory, because they don't handle fulfilment, only ordering - their retail partners handle the heavy lifting.
This sort of thing could conceivably put a serious dent in Amazon's business. Perhaps not much initially, but eventually the loss of sales will be noticed.
Amazon has a lot going for it, but a lot of "baggage" as well in terms of their impact on small and large retailers alike. Their quest for World Domination(tm) may come back to bit them. Or take a small nip in their shins...
Vocational schools are highly under-rated. Not everyone has an interest or ability in STEM or even any of the other standard 4-year educational paths, and forcing them into it is what produces mediocrity. There's nothing wrong with being an electrician making $60 and up, and I know plumbers that are well into the lower six figures without much effort, and good for them because I don't care to wade around knee-deep in other people's shit so I will gladly pay someone else to do it.
I'm really not sure how much I consider an email "breach" all that big a deal. Most people use semi-disposable email anyway, and how is your email address much more secret than your street address? I suppose they could use them in a big data-mining cross-reference deal, but at this point, I'm kind of "so what".
Shows great wellbeing to the financial survival of big pharma.
In part.
But these numbers also result from the fact that most cancer drugs coming on the market are experimental and while the science might suggest a solution, it doesn't always pan out. Cancer is a difficult problem.
I'm just curious why the hardware needs to be open source for you to tinker with it. If you aren't planning on making contributions to the hardware design (which doesn't sound like "tinkering" to me), and if you aren't going to base products on it that you are going to sell or distribute, then I don't see why it needs to be open source.
My guess is Open Source(tm) hardware has better/more (any) hardware documentation readily available along with numerous project tutorials and such.
Could we be seeing a new Microsoft now that the world is moving to mobile and they have no operating system in it?
This prattle is not new, and is bandied about every time someone notes whatever the current level of PC sales are. But here's the thing: Yes, the consumer has no need for anything other than their phone. But things are not (strictly speaking) created on the phone. Engineers don't do cad-cam on the phone. Commercial applications are rarely written on the phone. Secretaries do not manage memorandums on the phone. Factory controls (hopefully) are not accessed from the phone by some engineer on a chaise lounge by the pool.
Phones and phone apps are big. In a consumer way. Otherwise, I do most of my work on a PC running CentOS, though I could get by with Widows. I don't do much work from my phone except to receive communications from my boss who is reclining on a chaise lounge by his pool.
The world is not moving to mobile, consumers are moving to mobile.
Not of you, no. Your mother, well, we already have decades of hers. I even have the 8mm from her first appearance.
That's great! She's lost her copies and has been looking on the Internet and the Usenet groups dedicated towards dried up filthy whores who have fucked more living and dead things than Madonna... So, SWEET! Private message me, please!
People, I think most of you are forgetting that by capturing the digital signal of local broadcasters being transmitted through the air, you are violating the law by obtaining the intellectual property of local and national broadcasters without licence or payment .
This is morally wrong, and Comcast has provided a way for you to view these transmissions while compensating the many artists and rights-holders for their work. Everyone has to survive and being paid for their work is only right. Don't you like to be paid for your work?
...a little alarm clock with a camera that will probably be pointing directly at your bed.
WOW! Quite the salacious dirty (wink, wink, nod, nod...) thing to suggest, I'm getting hot just thinking about it. I'm not sure why it would "probably" be pointed at my bed. Am I positioning it that way? Can the device re-position its eye as its masters at Amazon direct it? Is the suggestion that Amazon is interested in capturing pictures of me fucking? And why? Are they going to try to monetized fuck videos of me? Are they going to analyze my fucking technique and try to sell me self-help books and videos? Are they going to suggest that I and my mate might look better fucking on a certain bedspreads and zillion-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets? Because the way the suggestion is presented, clearly the author of the Verge article thinks Amazon has some sort of interest in watching me fuck.
Sure, it's something to think about because if we don't start down that road of development now we won't be ready when the technology actually supports it. But right now and for the near future, the technology DOES NOT support it.
Stories like this that imply WE'LL HAVE FLYING CARS IN FIVE YEARS are just stupid and a waste of time to read.
Though I don't doubt that the rich fuckers in Dubai may be the first to be able to afford it...
I mean, if you have to have "IT'S NEW AND SHINY, I MUST GET OUT MY CREDIT CARD NOW!", and there's nothing wrong with that if it turns you on, than fine, pay the price and play the game.
By the time it get's to me, it's usually $5 anyway.

Who told you that? Serious question.

Maybe. Possibly.

I do love the tongue-in-cheek from McAfee: they're blatantly trying to get the Kaspersky US market...
McAfee is already on many of the DoD computers I use, working hard to slow them to a crawl...
If PR managed to nationalize their power companies...

It is my firm belief that many of the user posts here are generated by some form of automation.

We just started using satellites and doppler radar and storm chasing aircraft last year???
Why not create a competitive service? -_-

I can understand not using Ubuntu, but why CentOS, when there's Fedora?
Because I don't need "bleeding edge", I need rock solid.

DuckDuckGo for sat images or driving instructions is a no-go.
For most search, yes, but I Bing has better image search. For example "Nude Teen Emo Boys" on both Google and Bing...
No contest.
