Almost every year there is a big news story like this, regarding banning some game in Australia. Why are they so tight-assed about this topic, they otherwise seem quite relaxed people?
I think this has been a fantastic experiment, but do you still have any criticism regarding their test methodologies? Can we trust the results? For example, would we get different results if we leave the same data sitting on the drives for a longer time? Anything else that they are possibly not taking into account?
I would say yes. There aren't really any stability problems but things keep somewhat shuffling around as new builds are released. It should give you a nice free gaming OS until it expires in spring.:)
We could begin with a toggleable toolbar button which would lock the browser in HTTPS-only mode. Then we could educate users that when you want to avoid man-in-the-middle attacks, flip this switch on.
1) The reviewer did a mistake. Maybe he was reviewing multiple applications and from the bunch one slipped to the store even if it was not yet reviewed properly.
2) The reviewer was sloppy and did not do his job carefully and ethically.
3) There was some technical problem.
4) Some attacker got into the system and messed with things.
You can still get the classic Office experience back.
Click the up arrow in the right hand side of Ribbon, and it is hidden. Now go to the Quick Access toolbar at the left hand side of the titlebar and from its dropdown menu, choose "Show Below the Ribbon". Now you can add any commands that you want into this toolbar and it essentially gives you the same functionality that you had in previous versions of Word.
You make it sound like every proprietary software house is an evil bastard who can hide any kind of shit in the product they want to. I claim that instead, they have an interest to deliver good software to maintain customer satisfaction and to stay in business.
Now, show me a way to get rid of ribbon from the recent versions of MS Office. The only way I know is to use out-dated old versions.
Click the small arrow in the right hand side of the Ribbon, and it will disappear. Go to the Quick Launch bar at the left hand side of the window titlebar and set it to be below the Ribbon. Now put all the functions you need in this toolbar. This kind of setup is very close to the old Office.
My theory is that these days the codebases are too large to be maintained by the grassroots people, the "loosely-knit team of hackers" as we used to say. Instead, a lot of the work is done by highly organized teams of paid developers in companies. Thus, those companies also get the vote to say what goes in.

It wasn't even meant to be a scientifically correct study but just a fun MythBusters-type experiment.

Yes, that makes sense.
Acchh, indeed...damn I'd want Unicode support too...
It sounds like that in your workplace your browser connected to the proxy using HTTP and asked the proxy receive the actual page using HTTPS.
Using something like Tor involves some pain too. Some people would probably be interested just for the security boost.

The content in the CDN server is cached in unencrypted form.
What would you think about a hardened web browser which would only allow HTTPS connections? It might be a feasible idea already.
Ah, of course.
The same as today - free apps with paid down-loadable add-ins, paid bonus levels, paid advanced features, etc.
Shareware is back.
When will Slashdot catch up? I still can't use this site in HTTPS without subscribing. Being able to browse securely is a standard feature these days.
Huh? The access to Google Play costs something these days?
Hmm, interesting. Are all the Windows Store apps free for devices under 8"?
I can think of some theories.

Well, can't have everything.

Have a nice day.
For me, in Word 2010 the page seems to be set to left side of screen, but jumps to the center when I click the "100%" button in the View tab.

I did not criticize large project teams being unmanageable.
