Think again. When it's privacy related they're pretty much at the bottom. They do put a lot of money into marketing though, and based on profit margins, I'd have to say it seems to be a smarter choice than security and privacy related spending.
The sad part is that Google damn near at the top of the privacy trust-worthiness scale. Almost everybody else is worse. If you really care about your privacy you need to avoid all hosted services and do everything yourself.
Sadly, his accomplishment is far more likely related to the quality and expectations of most high schools. Most places have been slowly lowering the bar for quite some time.
Yahoo just went up a big step in my books with this. It's also nice to see the ratings of who's the most responsible to their users. It's also nice to see Google near the top despite the ongoing FUD campaign against them (the one gold star they're missing isn't actually correct, or at least I though they were one of the first to publish reports of government requests). Microsoft is better than I would have thought, Twitter is better and Apple is right where I'd expect them to be.
I like Hibernate for applications up to a certain complexity at least. You can develop on Postgres, test on MySQL, and deploy on Oracle if you want and it's all transparent... although I recently ran into a problem where there was something that would not work transparently in Oracle because of a strange way they do something. First time in the 2 years the system's been in development. If you really need to fine-tune things, iBatis is better, but more work and harder to maintain that Hibernate. The trick with Hibernate is to start developing from the business objects, not the database, a very basic thing that almost everyone gets wrong. Develop your models and let Hibernate design your database. Tweak it for performance afterwards where and when required
The problem with PL/SQL is that you're not really using it as a database anymore, you're using it more as an application, and you're tied to Oracle (Pro Tip: This is bad). If you're not really using it as a database, perhaps a language more open and flexible is more appropriate to your needs.
Oracle's complexity and vendor lock-in is a minus to the extent that if there is *any* other way to solve the problem, including using MS-SQL, Sybase, or even DB2, use the alternative.
In that case, when one owns another, can they be charged with slavery? It might go a long way toward allowing corps to sidestep responsibility through subsidiaries and shell companies.
Most people I know buy high-end Android phones that are either clearly the best phones on the market, or the best for the price (like the nexus 4). Perhaps that's just me though...
Learning a flaky, inconsistent language is only prolonging the problem. The web needs to move to something sane. As I said to someone the other day, it's extremely sad that the two most popular languages used for web development are two of the worst languages around (JavaSCript & PHP). It does go a ways towards explaining the quality of web software in general.

Most Android backup options are the same, including ones that back up to DropBox, Box, etc.
Luring is fine, but forcing sucks. I'm disappointed about the Latitude replacement.

If they have an exclusive licence to it you'll have to, regardless of how much it takes to manufacture.
The system needs far more than a tune-up.
You may want to have a look at this.
I'll assume that somewhere in Cupertino there's a "holding.it.wrong".

So, you're saying he's probably holding it wrong?
It also watches traffic conditions and notifies you if you should leave early for appointments, which is a pretty useful feature as well.
The first reason to go with Oracle is its reputation.
Amazingly, this is also a reason *not* to go with Oracle.

Your bank account is probably insured. Most likely your privacy is not.

Hey, they ain't payin' to bash Amazon.
For many, privacy has a value just like money does. Maybe not you. but many.
In that case, when one owns another, can they be charged with slavery? It might go a long way toward allowing corps to sidestep responsibility through subsidiaries and shell companies.
You don't lead customers, you lead followers.
If you want proper security right now, use SpiderOak. More flexible than DropBox as well.
Compared to those other two, Java is a dream language.
