That "publicly available at GSA Advantage" link from the article goes to:
Session Terminated
Your Advantage! or e-Buy session has been terminated for one of the following reasons:
So was it really publicly available?
Also they'd have to state that HP authorized it to be public on the GSA site. Otherwise you could just have two sites referencing each other saying the info is already public.
Not Cthulhu, but possibly a distant cousin of something else:
He speculates that Magnapinna passively waits for prey to bump into the sticky appendages
Could these sticky appendages also be... noodly?
This is why I don't eat creatures from the ocean.
Hopefully they'll return the courtesy.
First, they had to determine the optimal temperature at which flesh melts but can still heal (about 65 degrees Celsius).
I don't envy the test subjects.
Also, it might give "not safe for work" a whole new meaning, not to mention the "not safe for home"
Obviously they don't realize why the net was born
Remembering all the little things you forget will become easier because everyday details will be recorded, analyzed and "provided at the appropriate time and place by both portable and stationary smart appliances."
That's not "the end of forgetting" - that sounds like a more annoying version of clippy.
'talking' to the Web is leapfrogging all other interfaces, and the mobile phone is outpacing the PC
That's using voice recognition on devices with substandard interfaces. Keyboards aren't going anywhere.
Stop using M$ crap
Desai stresses that all this data is made anonymous, so it certainly won't be possible to target specific households with ads...

When Bertoni runs his algorithms on regular hits like Lethal Weapon or Miss Congeniality and tries to predict how any given Netflix user will rate them, he's usually within eight-tenths of a star
Makes me wonder how accurate my own ratings would be. The difference between clicking 3 or 4 stars is often very minor and arbitrary. At the end of a movie I might rate it something totally different than 20min later. Sounds like they're doing pretty good so far.
There's a sort of unsettling, alien quality to their computers' results
Realizing the program you wrote out-performs you and you can't explain why is a rather odd feeling.
I remember Google was working on something on the app layer that would guard against this type of connection hijacking but without the setup and teardown overhead of full blown SSL.
Sounds like you're thinking of the obfuscated tcp story. Wasn't so much a Google project as someone who happened to work at Google iirc.
Our broadband support forums are designed to be a place where customers can discuss technical support issues and offer solutions.
And someone hijacking and modifying your data isn't a technical support issue?
IETF participants pointed out that DNS software packages from BIND, Nominum, Microsoft and NLnet Labs have added patches for the Kaminsky bug, and 75% of DNS servers have been upgraded to thwart Kaminsky-style attacks. The IETF also is putting the finishing touches on a best-practices document that outlines ways for DNS server operators to protect against spoofing attacks like those that exploit the Kaminsky bug.
So you're correct. Patches are out and the IETF is just debating their stance.
Trying to be happy is like trying to build a machine for which the only specification is that it should run noiselessly.
