yeah right lol google have never given a shit about any app that over taxes or over heats the hardware. What they care about is a risk to Ad Revenue. luckily for a change stopping that shit probably actually benefits google as well as the user this time, but make no mistake if it was not a risk to them they would not give a shit.
Any dissenter in a country with an oppressive regime that wants to kill dissenters and is giving REAL information to WhatsApp and posting from a identifiable device lacks the self preservation abilities to survive anyway even without the tracing ID.
You as the User get to choose which device gets your money. The one ladened down with Googles spyware and bloatware or the one with the manufacturers or other 3rd party spyware and bloatware. Inevitably with such freedom one of the vendors will try to win market share by NOT screwing everyone with the spyware and bloatware.
Statement from Google pretty much confirms the EU is correct in that Google is forcing its services to lock out the market and make money. Personally I have no problems if Android doesn't remain free and it means a couple of dollars more on the cost of my devices, would happily trade that for a more open environment.
most journalists in this space rely on getting sample prior to retail, by the time they are in retail all the reviews and performance tests etc will have already been written by everyone. refusing to buy into the NDA could financially expensive in the lost eyes on sites they get. Sounds like a lose lose situation for them.
Tax is applied the moment you receive a benefit/payment from your employer. At that point you get to make a decision, Do I take a risk and keep the asset even though I have just incurred a tax debt or do you dispose of the asset and collect your money. those that got burnt chose poorly, though many people also hugely profited from that risk exposure. Personally I always vested my options and disposed of the shares in a single hit, no risk and take the cash. I can then if I choose repurchase the shares or more sanely distribute my exposure across many shares.
if true it is actually a massive deal and if proven will result in very serious fines or imprisonment for execs for securities fraud, The SEC takes intentionally providing false information to the market very seriously.
No I think they got the point perfectly. I am no Intel fan but if I was them this is exactly how I would be spinning it too. "Our CPU's are so good even our competitor is giving away its top end CPU's to get ahold of them"
Their money, Their rules. A credit card is not a guarantee of funds for anything you desire. You sign up to terms and conditions for an unsecured loan and part of those conditions are rules that determine things they will not extend credit for. Also part of those rules you agree to is they can change that list anytime they deem fit. This is status Quo for pretty much all credit cards, While I don't deal with Wells Fargo I imagine they are the same.
This story is muckraking bunk by people who again don't really want people to understand security as much as they want to stamp a name for themselves. I'd be much more concerned that this is being handled in a spreadsheet rather than in an air-gapped database infrastructure.
Personally I am not even concerned about them using a spreadsheet, actually it is a very good way to implement it in a cost effective matter given the type of data we are talking about here. The whole article is complete garbage as unless you can determine exact time a spreadsheet is going to be run you can't really manipulate the results and if you could manipulate the results at that point it doesn't matter whether the results are random or not as a true RNG is not going to stop someone manipulating the results.
I actually wonder if this is FUD being generated by people that wanted to spend millions on the process rather than a few hours of someones time.
Based on the assumption that Android phones last about four years, which may be an underestimate (my own phone for example) then over five billion Android phones are in use right now. This is the real story, this is phenomenal. And all running Linux, this is even more phenomenal. We did something historical, maybe the biggest technology story ever. Certainly a key event in history.
yeah NO, that is a really bad assumption, you really think over 60% of the worlds population now uses an android smartphone? smartphone users are currently estimated at 2-2.5 billion (that includes ALL not just android). Smartphone life is currently estimated at around 2 years not 4.
skimming terms and conditions looking for basic get out of jail privacy clauses like "you agree that we can share/sell your information to every scumbag company we wish" or "everything you say and do here you agree is our property and as such you give up all rights to said information". your view that those 30 seconds of effort is too much is classic example of why they get away with this so easy. you don't need to understand it all to identify obvious privacy problems.
Worse still are the idiots that masquerade as Drupal consultants, insane rates and what they churn out is absolute shit.
Not wanting to defend Drupal Developers BUT, when you start with a turd, no matter how you mould and shape it what you will end up with will still be at its heart a turd.
those of us that pointed this out back when OLPC was promising the world were called luddites on here, or idiots that just didn't understand as the OLPC would provide them all of those things through opportunities to do business and we simply lacked vision. The supporters would trump out the old adage of don't feed a man, teach a man to fish. The reality is nothing is that simple and if teaching him to fish means he dies of starvation while learning you are not going to achieve your goal.
sticking with Netflix for now but a lot of the ways Netflix work piss me off hugely. The biggest issue is the changing categories for me, I have a set of favourite genres and categories, these for me should always be there. LET ME FUCKING SET THEM to always be their in the order I want. The lack of control over the interface really sucks.
I think the problem is these crappy reality shows are relatively cheap to put on, you don't need to pay the contestants and the prizes are generally a fraction of what real actors/script writers etc etc would cost. I saw a recent article claiming it was at a minimum double the cost for series episode and that is for the cheap less successful ones where they don't have to pay the talent as much.
You may prefer it, but that method has proven to be very bad for the consuming public. The majority are not capable of looking at the data with an unbiased eye or without jumping to conclusions or making assumptions.
Whether the rest of us like his childish attitude and tantrums, the reality is the US is a sizable Market and good trade agreements make everyone better off. But I think they will certainly have lost a lot of their leverage since the agreement succeeded without them when many thought it would fail
Nokia were already circling the drain when Elop took over, sure he put his foot on the accelerator to finish them off but the previous 5 years of mismanagement and bad decisions before him is what killed them, he just buried the corpse.
people still trot out that old myth. Nokia was a walking corpse when MS bought them, had they not done so they would have been bought by someone else or ended up on the scrap heap anyway. Nokia made too many fatal mistakes leading up to the buy out.

yes because obviously the AG's department is only 1` person and can't possibly be working on more than one thing at a time.

No, I'm glad it's dead because it killed Nokia.
