Do you know anything about HIPAA? You can't just plug random systems into a hopsital IT network. Despite what many people think, the HIPAA "Security Rule" covers all systems on the network, NOT simply ones that contain patient data.
If the system is on the network, IT is responsible for ensuring it is compliant with HIPAA, including auditing and storage of all security events on it.
At any given minute of the day, your smartphone is
- Synching email from the cloud - Pushing up your last Evernote from 5 minutes ago into the cloud - Checking for new picassa photos - Updating your GPS nav app's position - Updating all your home-screen widgets, of which there might be as many as 12 or 15 - Streaming background music - Checking for application updates.... etc etc.
And this is not even anything involving user-interaction yet. Now let's swap out the GPS nav app for a 3D high-definition game, which needs a dual-core Tegra2 just to run smoothly... you still need to keep up with all these background tasks while playing the game, and for the user, it would be nice if they did not cause the game to jump or skip.
That is not good enough, because that is basically what we have today and was proven so insecure in this last attack.
It is simply unacceptable that I have to wait days or even hours for a browser patch to come out when an top-level SSL cert is compromised. Such a compromise should be able to IMMEDIATELY trigger a revocation that takes effect globally.
This is the exact problem that CRLs were supposed to prevent. But they are not implemented very well at all, and nearly always disabled by default in web browsers due to this. The SSL registration system needs to be changed to make real-time validation of certificates mandatory somehow.
A lot of people I work with use their secondary monitor in portrait mode. It is ideal for browsing the web since it gives you so much more vertical height.
The Android platform automatically scales apps like that already. It has to because Android supports lots of resolutions (unlike iOS).
Have never understood all these "lack of tablet-optimized apps" BS... it all seems like FUD to me. Most iOS apps I have seen are identical between their tablet and phone versions.
Agreed. Meanwhile you have actual real-life notable people like Laura Massey having their pages deleted for lack of notation, but keeping her co-hosts pages (and thus resulting in broken links within wikipedia), which is nonsensical.
Except that you can not reference anything on wikipedia that is not on the web, and most academic papers on the web are behind paywalls. So the whole thing falls apart right there.
+1. Wikipedia has been on such a deletion frenzy lately that I would never want to contribute anything there. They delete all kinds of highly referenced and relevant articles simply because the editor does not know about the subject.
I will never understand why wikiepdia is so frenzied about deletions. If an article is relevant and of good quality, it should stay. It is not like they are going to run out of bytes, I just don't get it.
We are talking about a regional restaurant chain, not a billion dollar corporation. I can't find any financials, but the website for the company says they have a grand total of 7 locations.
$110,000 is likely a very large fine for this company.
Anyone who has watched CSI or Law & Order or Bones or any other crime program in the past 10 years knows that the telephone companies store this data for law enforcement.
I call bull. I routinely stream HD YouTube video and HD videos from other sites (yay Android flash!) and have used over 1GB / month without tethering many times, with many sessions > 500 MB.
Just because you don't do it doesn't mean others don't.
People may not be able to live there yes, but Tjernobyl has shown proven the saying "life finds a way" true again. The area around Tjernobyl has become one of the most biologically diverse in the area... probably in large part due to the lack of humans around.
And now it's just normal, and worse yet most people aren't even aware of it
Anyone who has seen an episode of Bones or Law & Order or CSI or any other crime drama int he past 15 years knows that everyone can be tracked with their cell phones. It is very common knowledge. Guess what - most people do not care. I mean, I have friggin Google Latitude installed, half I know the people can see exactly where I am 24/7.What do I care? Like I said, if I had something to hide, I'd leave the phone at home, it is so trivial it is a non issue.
Even the open source Android is dangerous because devices ship with proprietary executables...,
I guess Stallman has never heard of Cyanogenmod or any of the multitudes of other totally open AOSP roms available? Despite what they want you to think you DO NOT have to run the software that ships on your phone.
As far as tracking goes, it is a bit of hyperole. If you are doing something and don't want to be tracked, take out your sim, put in a paygo sim, boom you are anonymous. Bonus points by putting the original sim in the trunk of a friends car.
If terrorists can be anonymous using paygo sims, so can the avg. joe.

P/E is not everything. Compared to GOOG or MSFT, AAPL's margins are horrid.
AAPL's gross margin is currently at 38%. GOOG is 64% and MSFT is 79%.
That is just one example.

Hardcoding anything is a bad idea because it makes it impossible to revoke the certificate in the event it is compromised.

Can anyone explain the pros and cons of Google fibre vs. FiOS?

Does anyone have any idea how to update the CRL on a mobile phone, specifically, IOS?

Because Android does not implement system-level DRM, that's why. IE, because it is open, media companies don't like it.
This is exactly why Netflix has no Android app, they have said so right on their blog.
Also before anyone comments the above also applies to Google Docs and Calendar. Google provides open access to *ALL* of it's apps.
Google provides an IMAP gateway for all of its mail, including Google Apps.
These people can use any email client under the sun to access their mail, including the vaunted Outlook.
This whole thing seems like a money grab to me.

That's like saying "I like having my eyeballs gouged out with toothpicks better than having my balls gnawed off my wildebeests"
Both iTunes and Zune are HORRIBLE pieces of software.
Sounds like you want KDE.
In KDE whether or not you want minimise or maximize buttons is a simple click in the control panel.
Please tell me the blue glowing chest does not turn red when it is "downloading" ?
