What? Target's CEO resigned earlier this year after the breach severely impacted the company's already struggling bottom dollar.

Per the Board of Directors, "Today we are announcing that, after extensive discussions, the board and Gregg Steinhafel have decided that now is the right time for new leadership at Target. Effective immediately, Gregg will step down from his positions as Chairman of the Target board of directors, president and CEO." That is press release speech for "you're fired".

Because shareholders will oust another CEO if the shareprices tumble again. Shareholders are who these companies are beholden to.

Target is still hurting from their breach. They know it's in their best interest to have a secure system.

Well, actually, since it's a public school that would otherwise allow rallies, Nazi's can, given they obtain the proper permits. See the National Socialist Party of America v Village of Skokie, among other decisions.

You're trying to compare philosophy and science. Do they teach philosophy in college? Yes, they do.

For now. And then the old features will be sunsetted, much like the old GMail

Sure, but a phone is not a dedicated tool. Those 60s era technologies were specifically designed for the specific purpose they served. Your phone doesn't store local maps and it has a low grade GPS receiver. A dedicated GPS unit has the maps stored on it and has a better GPS receiver, so there is much less delay.

I hate it. Makes browser loading/transitions slower than just loading a JVM or Flash(and that's saying a lot), fucks with mobile, fucks with NoScript, screws up common hotkeys like backspace which loses what you've written Google Docs unless you're smart enough to run Lazarus(which you shouldn't have to), etc etc etc. Trying to be slick just makes it worse.

Last I recall Chromium does not have native Flash playback like Chrome

Netflix has shit selection of new movies, while Amazon has a pretty solid selection comparatively and has real blockbusters like the Marvel and Hunger Games films.

Anyways, you want to put all your eggs in one basket? That's why you're bitching about your shitty connectivity and I'm not. The fact is that Amazon, HBO, Hulu, etc don't have the problems that Netflix is having, and that's indicative of a Netflix problem, and that's why they're paying to put CDNs inside or close to ISP networks, which is how content delivery has been done since the advent of the CDN.

Coming from Verizon, Netflix uses Cogent, not AWS. This is acknowledged by all three parties.

The beauty of choice. If Netflix wants to use shitty hosts while Amazon and HBO use superior ones, people will move to Amazon and HBO. This has been the way of the internet for eons. It's why things like datacenter tiers exist in the first place.

But if Verizon FIOS is anything like Comcast, they want to charge Netflix to bring Netflix to their own customers.

Well, no. Netflix is already being brought to their customers. Like the guy said, he can use it, it just doesn't look pretty.

Still introduces unneeded latency. Wire that bitch up.

They do have that. It's called Craigslist, or the Want-Ads/Recycler/Pennysaver in print
