Sounds like Tim just signed Apple up for the same kind of legal liability that car manufacturers enjoy. If the privacy and security protections fail there is now an expectation for remedy. Recall? Lawsuit? I think the case can and will be made.

What is this foofarah?, this is a classic pump-n-dump scheme, trying to cover it up under some kind of social movement won't save the participants from fines or jail.

Haha, I think there is something to the diverse ecosystem argument, like what if they were all "mandated" to install some kind of SolarWinds software - standards are only as secure as the lowest common denominator. Homogeneity breeds insecurity. It's not like we're lacking diversity in software these days, what's wrong with some segmentation.

that's what I'm doing

Apparently they opened the 600 theatres and nobody went, total take was on the order of 10k USD for the weekend and the terms of opening were pretty strict regarding sterilization, staff proof-of-health and spaced seating (half capacity). Also nobody wanted to release their new film to empty venues so it was mostly repeats.

Looks like people are starting to get together for dinners/KTV with close friends they trust but are not yet to the point where they want to spend 2 hrs in a closed space with strangers.

Don't bother with this app/service it's a Trojan for a VPN service - I just tried it and there is no streaming available without it.

What will happen to http://zombo.com/ ??? If JS/DOM can do anything SWF can do can't all this Flash bytecode be JIT converted to Wasm automatically? C'mon Google hire an extra intern or two and make it happen - for the sake of ZOMBO!

I was also going to mention the perldoc, Larry Wall (et al.) wrote some really entertaining stuff, a real pleasure to read. http://perldoc.perl.org/perl.h...

Somehow nothing was affected in my Windows Phone 7 contacts list which amalgamates across: Exchange(x2), Facebook, MSN and Gmail.

I feel like I should be angry at this but it just didn't affect me.

The value proposition with ARM WinRT is new, you get a copy of Office (desktop version) with every license. This hasn't been done before, at the price that an ARM WinRT license goes for ($85-$90) you get the OS and Office, thus sharing a slice of the massive revenue Office brings.

I don't think MS is worried about OEM's taking the opportunity seriously, I think they genuinely want to push the envelope on design and quality, it's like saying "if you can't beat this (Surface), then you are going to lose.", that is a legitimate business strategy.

Early on in the article you used the phrase "the HTML5 Metro interface" this is a misnomer and demonstrates a basic misunderstanding of the platform as a whole. Metro is not HTML5 however you may write a Metro Style App in HTML5+JavaScript (are we just saying HTML5 now?). In addition you may write a Metro Style App (all of which will work on ARM) using C# and a subset of .NET through the Metro CLR, or in C++.

The only unknown is whether or not Microsoft will eventually port the Desktop CLR to ARM. It has not been announced for the release however one must consider that it may happen at some point in the future.

You may read this article to obtain a better understanding of an (admittedly confusing) situation.

In consideration of the PM bad wigs are excluded from this bill.

I also wish this was being talked about more, I am not interested in 10 hour battery life, I'm interested in a 15 day battery life for a tablet - it doesn't require a back-lit LCD 60Hz screen, but an app store would be nice.

I wonder at this point what the best multi-purpose e-ink tablet is?
