Narrator: A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.
Business woman on plane: Are there a lot of these kinds of accidents?
Narrator: You wouldn't believe.
Business woman on plane: Which car company do you work for?
I've pointed out numerous times that corps have helped the NSA only to be branded a"conspiracy theorist". About time they got around to putting this info out, again I am positive that Google, Apple, and MS do the same thing, if not now then certainly after CISA passes.
#1 I buy all my Android items from the Google store, so I was not actually aware there were multiple builds and would not have thought that either because... well it's a messy way to do things.
#2 I know Android is "Google", but there is a dev team responsible for the Android operating system and in my mind I think of them as "Android", I'll own that one... my bad.
#3 You state that " Because people don't die when the software on their phone crashes!" well that's true, but I was referring to all software, including that in Jeeps, the botnet that cleaned out your bank account, airplanes, and Michael Hastings car (oh shit a conspiracy theory now I'm going to hear about it), and frankly there is a lot of damage created by software bugs, and holding the corps responsible might speed up the patch release.
You chose to use the reductio ad absurdum reply, and that's on you.
#4 I used to be into all this, and I did a bit of this and that in IT, now a days I don't give a shit about most of it and so I don't stay on top of things.
You could say I'm leaning towards Luddite.
I am pretty old, don't code any longer (thank fucking God) and don't really need to bother myself with most tech other than its use against humans. Something I doubt you would grasp due to your youth, and that's a guess based on your posting approach.
I still read/. because there are articles that interest me, and it's a bit like comfy shoes... you like them even if they smell bad.
Why is it HTC's responsibility to patch it? Why not a global patch from Android.
In addition if a car manufacturer knows there is a serious issue with a car and doesn't recall, they are liable for the accidents that happen. Why aren't software corps held to a similar standard if security researchers have informed them of the bug.
I agree it's possible, and rarely do I see people mentioning the combination of biological and hardware, something that's moving along nicely these days. 2 examples. http://news.discovery.com/tech...
"The extraordinary claim that machines can become so intelligent as to gain demonic powers requires extraordinary evidence"
You lose points for using "demonic", but the issue in my mind is not the machine, it's what humans will use it for.
Imagine a AI hooked to CCTV, the internet, the cell network, imagine everything you do being intelligently analyzed, you think the NSA is bad? Imagine something super intelligent that never sleeps watching you
That's just the tip of the iceberg, think how many humans could be replaced by a true AI, doctors, lawyers, politicians, all those and more could be replaced.
A super intelligent machine bolted to a floor in some climate controlled lab isn't much of a threat its self, but what it could do in the the points mentioned above, it is absolutely a threat to mankind. In any case the ideal place for an AI is in space not on Earth, limitless energy and raw materials and zero concern for length of a planets life span.
It isn't a "proper firewall", but it acts as one for outgoing traffic and request your permission every time something tries to go out, unless you give the outgoing permanent permission
Something on your system already trying to talk out won't get caught by most "proper firewalls". I have a firewall on top of that running on the OS and my network head is also a firewall.
I like that information of what's going out, if you're familiar with "Little Snitch" for OSX it's the same thing for Windows.
From their site. NetLimiter gives you full network control over your computer. You will decide where your application can connect and how fast these connections will be.
Full internet bandwidth control over applications and computers
Powerful connection blocker
Long-term internet traffic statistics
Fully customizable behaviour using user-defined Rules and Filters
And much more...
I think a lot of us here can figure out our own ways to limit the "privacy leakage", but think of someone that doesn't know much, or even that it's occurring.
You pay a premium for the OS so it should be opt in not the other way around, or "no choice" at all for updates (again you can shut that off but MS suggest there may be penalties for that).
I wonder what may be going on that we don't know about, and why MS has gone as far as it has with this behaviour.
I would love to see a TCP dump decrypted from a Win10 machine.
I also suspect in a few years we will see a subscription based Windows format for the OS as well as Office, etc..

Who is legally responsible if an automatic car does hit someone?
Thank you.
Wasn't auto update, upgrade the give away clue?
Watch as time goes by how much worse it gets, from broken apps (due to auto upgrades) to massive security fails.
"This is possible because Microsoft built this version very differently from all its previous releases."
They will upgrade and update automatically including features, security and vital components,
So you can expect a lot of broken software to follow some updates.
How many more issues will we hear about with "auto update" and how long until MS changes it.
Spies
everywhere.
Train your replacement...

Oh and... it's funny you don't get "u mad bro".
I bought it on eBay?
U mad bro...
Wow what a mess, all those variants, all those bugs, yet most people will associate Android as the problem rather than the custom builds.
Seriously I thought it was one build had no idea it was that varied as I have purchased all my stuff from the Google store.
No one took his picture and put it on their Facebook/whatever?
Why is it HTC's responsibility to patch it? Why not a global patch from Android.
In addition if a car manufacturer knows there is a serious issue with a car and doesn't recall, they are liable for the accidents that happen.

They do seem extra rapey over there, and for those that say it's a release...
Bullshit... porns a motivational factor.
"national security advisor for counterterrorism during President George W. Bush's administration"
You mean during 9/11.
Well I won't update, and I am buying the "pro" version or possibly the enterprise (if available to consumers).
So I am paying a premium.
But I think we should wait and see just how "free" Win 10 really is.
