I guess we could say yesterday's report was off by 100%, but let's not go crazy. 0.4% is still too many, but it's still not as bad as it could be with all the cert vendor break-ins that have gone on recently.
And stranger than that, you are not bonch and your post isn't a criticism of Google claiming that they deserve it and Microsoft is right to label them as malicious. What are the odds!
Perhaps Microsoft was right about the Google homepage on the 14th:
- MS Security Essentials is written by programmers/nerds.
- On the 14th, Google had an animated "Valentine's Day" logo.
- The animated logo was an animated female. Innocent and harmless, but female none the less.
- As usual, nerds (or in this case MS Security Essentials, the product of nerds) had no idea how to react to a female.
- When MS Security Essentials determined that the animated female was holding a valentine it panicked.
- MS Security Essentials protected Windows from Google's trojan horse valentine (metaphorically, of course).
FTFA: "This would not involve compensation from Caltech," said Trent Perrotto, a NASA spokesperson. "It would be a transfer of ownership." What money?
Maybe Caltech will sell naming rights and has to share the money with NASA?;-)
1st Reporter: And in today's science news, Papa John's GALEX satellite completed finally its mission of mapping the sky using ultraviolet light. 2st Reporter: Can you shed a little light on what that means for us "normal folks"? 1st Reporter: It means Papa John's will offering their classic Moon Pie pizza and their Out of this World moon-cheese bread sticks for only $9.99. 2st Reporter: Only $9.99? I Guess Herman Cain was on to something after all. 1st Reporter: Not really. God Father Pizza never had an offer like this.
Win 3: It gets interested parties, like universities or other research organizations - profit or not - into doing something whose use to the taxpayer is arguable, and which therefore shouldn't be funded by government.
Exactly. This satellite is imaging the entire sky, which clearly is the next logical step for a Google Earth / Google Maps hybrid.
so NASA is considering transfer of ownership under the Stevenson-Wydler Technology Innovation Act
That's awesome!
Their action has many much more awesomeness than the bill's acronym: SWTIA. Stevenson & Wydler need some lessons from the people who came up with the name of the PATRIOT Act, among others.
ARM isn't similar to x86 like Atom is, so this may be a logical starting point.
As someone running Debian on Arm, the end user experience is effectively the same. The only difference is if you require closed source binary software or hardware that requires closed source binary drivers. Other than that, Linux on Arm and Linux on any other architecture are remarkably similar. Just recompile the code...
Yes, the end user experience is no different, but the developer experience is very different. Linux has been multi-architecture from the beginning. Windows has been entrenched in the x86 camp for so long it doesn't have the option to just recompile.
Linux wanted to work on everything, so it was flexible by design. Windows wanted everyone to run on Windows and only Windows, so it was inflexible by design.
Don't know if you're being sarcastic. It is a deal breaker for some. While VB6, VFP etc may not be sexy, a lot of legacy software are written in those.
Semi sarcastic.;-)
One of my clients is still using VB 6 but has finally accepted that they need to transition over to something more current (with a much larger pool of available talent). We're actually interviewing for the position ATM.
Hint: it's the third party apps! Lots of very important legacy business applications are written in languages, tools and technologies that may never be ported to WOA. For example, do you expect Visual Basic 6, Visual FoxPro or Delphi to be on WOA?
No VB 6 & FP emulator on WOA? That's gotta be a deal breaker for some of us.
It's possible that this is the first step toward leaving 'Windows legacy applications' behind. They are going to have to do it sometime, and ARM isn't similar to x86 like Atom is, so this may be a logical starting point.
At some point (Windows 9? Windows 10??) Microsoft is going to need to leave older applications behind to fully transition to the 'Metro' platform/paradigm. This probably will include the desktop.Net frameworks and other MS technologies, libraries, etc. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but it is going to be a significant change and a lot of work for software companies.
Their facial recognition software is impressive, but certainly not perfect. I don't have any hard data but in my experience while it does correctly identify people quite often, there are still significant false positives and negatives.
I really feel sorry for my identical twin. Not only is he just as ugly as I am, now he can get blamed for the stupid shit I get caught doing on FB./sarcasm
All kidding aside, I do not have a pic on FB but I have been tagged in several photos - twice as a cat. False positives indeed.
Craig is good egg who walks the walk. Not hungry for power, glory or money, he already has enough of all that. The original Google do-gooder. I sincerely hope that his shoes do not prove too big to fill.
He was part of a force that changed the internet. Now's he's joining Kahn to help change the world of education (except now he has a lot more clout and a lot more resources). Let's hope he can have a significant impact.
More ways for Google to know what you're doing. Will they be scanning your documents? Checking the artist names of the songs you have there and target ads related to them? What about <fill in your own scenario here>?
If you aren't doing anything illegal, you really have nothing to hide. The world will be a safer place.
I can't imagine the headache this will cause for air traffic controllers. They'll have these little blips on their radar... and if it's a small airport these things could make it less safe for local air traffic.
It's come to this now? How bad does it have to get before the entire system is scrapped?
Unfortunately the same guy who claims he invented the internet also claims to have a patent on scrapping the patent system, so we'll never find out how bad it would have to get.
This guy claims he "allowed users to interact with images inside of a web browser window" ?? So a web browser was invented before the web itself? Can we ask him if the chicken or egg came first?
It's only a matter of time until someone develops an Android or jailbroken iOS app that allows true peer to peer piracy over bluetooth or wifi. You'd set it up to share what you want, and to search for things you're looking for. If you were friendly, you could even set it up to look for things other people you see for x amount of time are looking for. Walking on the street? Riding in a bus? File sharing everywhere you go.
Didn't Zune have a feature that did bluetooth or WiFi song sharing called 'squirt' (or 'squirting')?

And I did not speak out --
Then they came for me --
And there was no one left to speak for me.
By the time they came for you there was no one left to listen either.
Your mother was a hamster...
... and your father smelt of elderberries.
All I see is a wall of text.
Apparently what you pay for to get past the 'pay wall' is the line feeds.

the FBI remotely monitored last month's raids and congratulated New Zealand police on their work
Did they FBI at least have the decency to give them the promised snausage treat?
You're assuming that the FBI had permission to remotely monitor the raids. ;-)

. . .because you want to learn something about this guy you keep hearing about and all you find is links about lube and fecal matter?
To be fair, most of politics is about lube and fecal matter.

Because executing him is a much more effective deterrent than, well, anything else they could do to him.

Your job wouldn't happen to be a goat semen collector, would it? ;-)
Does not matter what Google would do, just wait until all those data "leak" in some breach and the blackhats get their hands on it.
Or, Google's Prospective Employee Recruitment Program service starts selling your data to employers.

You need to upgrade all of your Linux servers to Windows. Our friends in Redmond assure us this is an improvement of utmost importance.
I just tried:
[i_am@joking ~]#yum update microsoft
and got a "don't touch my keyboard" error.
