The barn door is about to be wide open in this one. When private App Stores hit on iPhone because of the recent-pending legislation, you're going to have no control at all over what developers do with your data because…
This is about letting you use a biometric token like YubiKey to authenticate your account.
You comment hits the core of the "problem". Traditionally What "China" wants has been 100% decided by its rulers.. While the people were TOLD what they wanted. Even now China's rulers think about what's useful for their…
My town is on an aggressive knock-down strategy as well. One problem they ran into was people trying to "save" houses on the chopping block after the tax sale. Since then they are clearly tagging the houses where the…
The B-2 bomber pilots are closer to computer hackers... Hacking is long hours spent quietly trolling for marks and acquiring programs and contacts for your "bag of tricks".. With a few hours of frantic planting the…
How about Polos and Kakis?
It begs the question "where the hell is my tuition going?" I was taking at a private "degree mill" part time classes at $180 per credit hour. The school required 7 students to teach a 4 credit class during normal hours.…
I cannot wait til we can sin-tax old people because they are on Social Security!!!
You still write the council and get permission.. You just have yo "buy your place in line" from somebody that already has one.
Earth isn't entirely self sufficient and needs light from an external source.... It's working in the same constraints the origins ed evolved for... Just smaller
Bingo. Airlines have most of the commercial piloting jobs. The BIGGEST provider of employees is the US Military. A civilian pilot just doesn't stand a chance in that market versus kids that come out of service with 8+…
This article is painfully wrong. The motivating factor for airline wages is experience, and availability of airplanes to fly. Experienced pilots come primarily from the US military. For a civilian trying to get into…
The performance is in the SYSTEM architecture. Even a mid sized POWER box can address Hundreds of gigs of RAM, Petabytes of direct attached disk and rooms full of tape stored data. You can make an x86 box do that, but…
This sucks. It means IBM doesn't want to do HARD engineering anymore. They just want to do sales and handling of stuff for high markup. This is the last really cool thing to go before the finish dismantling that former…
Intel was almost dumb enough to put those on the used manufacturing line from x86 chips... Almost. Then Intel "knifed the baby" by moving those designers to Atom and selling off their ARM stake... At one point StrongARM…
there's a fundamental problem here if the "CTO" can talk down to an owner like that. Obviously YOU didn't hire the CTO, because he doesn't see YOU as his boss. There's already another conversation with this guy that you…
but the CTO wouldn't be saying that unless there was another "conversation" out there. Why is this guy CTO anyway while a Co-owner is left at coder? You don't bring somebody in as "CTO" without a promise of a cut of the…
That's the way OSX is RIGHT NOW. As a User I can run any program I want and mucky-muck my crap up. But Apps from the Mac App Store live in neat little bundles and are forbidden to do the mucking around in OS bits. So…
But they used recycled connectors as a way of using the legal argument their product was a "customer modification" of a licensed and paid for product. You sent them YOUR charger and they modified it to work with their…
Not really... Because companies in Silicon Valley poach employees on purpose to interrupt other companies. It's a real problem in a lot of industries. I'd note you don't see Microsoft in this because they stayed in…
The bigger problem is that these companies all want "rockstars" at age 22 AND ones that will be "company men". Neither Bill Gates nor Steve Jobs would get in the DOOR at a tech company today. They didn't finish…
America car companies issue recalls all the time. That is what's getting Toyota in trouble from the start. A company I worked for was involved in those decisions made with days of discovering a slightly wrong raw…
The big thing is that developers move to "adult" companies. The pay is less, but they get to act like grown ups, take vacations, have families... Sure the work is more boring. Who doesn't love EDI or Factory planning!!!…
And you needed to kick people off after a certain point so others could use it.
"Essentially, we're back to where we were with video arcades, before consoles at home gave us unlimited play." you just nailed it... most of these companies executives were alive in the time of arcades... they all LOVED…
