The only time I encrypt is to people on my own corporate email system where I know it is managed properly and hence is a viable option. For anything beyond that if the information is so sensitive that it needs encryption to email then as far as I am concerned it is too sensitive to put into email as I wouldn't trust the vast majority of places to securely administer their mail system anyway and that includes their key management.
Imagine you want to check how many people in your intranet have a particular application installed. You do
A) Write a shell script which determines that
B) Write a shell script which will call the script of A) on the 765 computers of your intranet using SSH
Any other admin task (and not just the things Microsoft can think of in Active Directory) can be automated this way. A single admin can do quite complex operations this way on a large number of computers in very little time (couple of hours). If that activity is not part of a pre-thought task in AD (or the other colorful GUI tools of MS and partners), the admin has to log into 765 (or more) computers via Remote Desktop (or similar tools like Teamviewer) to perform the same task 765 times. Two weeks later the windows admin will be done.
You get the idea ? That's a major reason why Google and Facebook are using Linux in their backends and it is a major reason why Linux intranets can be much cheaper to operate, IF you have skilled admins on your team. Microsoft appears to acknowledge the power of the command line with their new server products, by the way. So even MS concedes the GUI is a bad idea when it comes to administration.
I guess ignorance is bliss, probably why you posted as an AC. the above has always been easy even with Microsoft products. It has been made many times easier over the past 7 or 8 years through the adoption of powershell, but even before that it was a relatively simple task to achieve through scripts. Only a moron would think you have to logon to 765 computers to find out that information. So that task I could do in about 5 mins on windows, back before powershell it might have taken me 15 mins - hour to figure out the scripting for it, but was still an easy task.
Why does everyone bill this the 720? This thing should be called the Xbox 1080. Everyone's billing their next gen systems as being 3x as powerful (360x3, do the math). Also, the next gen systems will all do 1080p. Despite marketing, there are only a small handful of current gen console games that run at 1080p. Even if the game states 1080p on the box, it's generally just stating that it will upscale the game to 1080p. The only real 1080p you're getting are menus and title screens.
Because that is the way Microsoft has been marketing it, with sneak product placements in movies such as Real Steel. whether it should be called something else or not is irrelevant, it is what MS have been marketing it at hence why everyone refers to it that way.
Motorola is an entity that is producing a product and responding defensively with the only way the system allows companies to respond, nothing about what they are doing can be considered trolling. Apple on the other hand have setup a shell company that produces nothing but has a portfolio of patents for the very purpose of suing competitors, that pretty well fits perfectly with the definition of trolling.
My prayers go out to those affected and those who wanted Santa to bring them that extra 10TB RAID 0+1 array; may the Lord provide the former with what they need, and may the latter be cured of their addiction to pornography.

9.5% of our export of coal is massive no matter how you twist it. no they are not our number 1 destination, they are still significant and any significant cut in that would be felt.
Of course I know that nuclear power plants generate the material for weapons, hence why despite protests many of the current ones exist, however what we are talking about here is a type of plant that DOES NOT produce materials for such weapons. just because the current dangerous ones were created for the wrong reasons doesn't mean safer ones can't be created for the right reasons.
This sort of tech has been pushed and rejected by most of the western world due to fear mongering and morons that can only think of japan or chernobyl when they hear the phrase nuclear power. Sadly China get a jump to clean and safe energy because the rest of the world panda to the irrational morons in society, on the whole though at least this reduces the worlds Coal burning.
Of course they still need steel, but it is still terrible news for Australias top export, we don't just export coal for use in steel, but on balance this is great news for the world in general.
Many of the greatest scientific discoveries have been made through the research of completely different things or accidents, . For all we know this could bring about the cure for Cancer or a means to add 100 years to the life of a human. To exclude research just because the direct benefit is not 100% obvious would be idiotic.
Two-factor auth isn't a panacea. SMS (or rather, mobile numbers) are real two-factor authentication - or, more accurately, they are a valid second factor. Something you know, something you have, something you are - pick any two. Password and mobile number is a reasonable choice. The fact that your mobile number is (apparently) so easily stolen doesn't negate this.
It sure does. You might say it's the Telco's fault for allowing the service churn to happen, but this lack of security is widely known which makes the SMS as a second factor all but useless, and the banks are stupid for allowing it.
You are confused. SMS to your mobile IS TWO FACTOR AUTH. just because it sucks doesn't make it not two factor auth. Besides when directly targetted there are very few good two factor auths that are practical that can't be defeated by a well targetted scam such as this. RSA/Vasco tokens can be stolen as can Smartcards or USB keys and when you are talking about scams in the amount of this article then the theft of a token isn't that much of a reach either. It isn't like it takes long to empty a bank account.
He had already mentioned good sci fi and fantasy as being absent, no need to give examples of some of the current truly cringeworthy crap they are trying to push.
Freedom for all means some people or companies will do things you don't like. There are plenty of countries that would restrict such company Action, though I doubt you would enjoy living there either.
I think you are missing the point. The value of someone like Yahoo is not their technology, it is their user base and brand, you can build the tech they have or license it many times cheaper than the cost of buying Yahoo and as apple tightly control their userbase Yahoo becomes a vastly overpriced company for them.
No OS is secure against virus's and as long as a user is permitted to run whatever program they want it is an almost impossible task. Linux, BSD, OSX, droid, IOS etc etc are all completely susceptible to virus's.
Actually if anything the relocation to work with the engineers and receive training is the deal maker here not the breaker. startups are risky at the best of times and good guidence and training is invaluable.
In 2000 the entire tech industry was stupidly priced for ridiculous and unachievable growth figures, this was not something unique to MS. MS has only had one stock split since 2000, think that was in 02 or 03.
apart from a static stock price how exactly have they fallen? Microsoft is now more profitable than it has ever been, higher sales than it has ever had and a consistent growth for last decade every quarter while paying a dividend. unfortunately stock graphs don't show a companies true financial progress, Microsoft 10 years ago was massively overvalued on the stock market with a stock price that could not possibly ever live up to expectations of exponential growth, they would have to be a multi trillion dollar company today to come close to the stupid growth rates that were built into the stock market at the time.
There are 3 problems.
firstly he was using a company handle and this may have contributed significantly to his following and changing the name as he has still allows him to preserve the followers that could be argued belong to phonedog not him
secondly did he do any twittering on this on company time or with company resources? just because they did not ask him to do it does not mean it isn't a company resource.
lastly if he does something childish like you suggest and it is ruled that it is a company resource then he can potentially be up for being sued for intentionally damaging that resources reputation and hence its value.
Don't ever mix personal and employer projects, ever.
Especially don't use your employer's name or trademarks in your personal projects.
Hell in some states, depending on your terms of employment, even your personal projects can be seized by the company.
I could not agree more, In fact at the large company I work for we take it a step further, if you are going to do anything that is even remotely related to the company on your personal time you get approval before doing it even though it is a personal project, that way there can be no confusion down the track.
You need to find a better line for such fanboyish, using stuff that is easily known and proven wrong is just silly. Intel server lines are 8 and 10 core. So far they have also trounced AMD in performance, though it would be nice if AMD can edge closer or even pass them with something new. competition is much needed in this area and something intel has not had for a few years now.

Apple has always been worse than MS, they just have never had the clout before to utilise their evil.

That would not suprise me at all, considering they also utilise submarines now as well.
