The article says that poorly deployed firewalls and IPS systems create a single point of failure.

I forgive them, because the word "pentalobular" is hilarious to say.

I also don't own an iPhone, so it's all academic to me anyway. :D

Um, that's why the headline and summary say "REVENUE" and not "PROFIT." There is a difference. Unless you are a troll who made an ignorant post on purpose, you should know what words mean before you accuse the whole article of being a fraud.

I disagree--Windows 7 does a lot of good catching up to Mac OS and Linux in terms of keyboard shortcuts (Aero Snap alone is seriously worth $250 or more and is better than 3rd-party solutions,) multi-monitor management, and coherence of the different places that applications live. I can't wait till my workplace upgrades our machines to Win7 so I don't have to manually drag and resize windows anymore.

Mac OS-style upgrades that are less expensive and focus on features over infrastructure (at least from a user perspective) would be pretty neat. And it would ensure that we don't have to wait 5 years between releases (or 7 years between viable releases) again.

How are open source programmers supposed to implement a Linux port of a proprietary, third-party streaming platform based on Silverlight? Reverse engineering? More importantly, how do they convince Netflix to use it?

Especially when your business changed your 3rd party platform from Flash to Silverlight. Hopefully an HTML5 implementation of Instant Watch is in the works.

OK--let's get rid of the people that fork over tens or hundreds of millions of dollars to developers so they can create the majority of the games we enjoy. Even most of the classic games that GOG sold would have been impossible to develop in their time without the financial backing of the publishers. But let's just get rid of them--game developers don't need money!

Independently-made games are great, but I can only play arty platformers like Braid so many times before they all start to blur together just like Gears of Halo (or was that Call of War 2?)

The real fun is when they take it home and turn it on--the CPUs will melt the cement!

The PowerBook g5 would have looked like this

They couldn't have retracted the array rather than unilaterally letting it get destroyed? That's nonsense. And a "spark" from the array getting burned caused a completely separate area of the ship to burst into flames? There was no good reason for that to happen.

Good luck graduating with a physics degree if you think the "science" in that movie works at all.

You mean it'll be great until about half an hour in, when the crew arbitrarily decides to let their communications array get scorched without consulting their CO. And then their oxygen garden RANDOMLY bursts into flames...they divert from their mission and bicker like children...et cetera...

I will never understand how such a bullshit movie gets to call itself science fiction, let alone be called a "masterpiece" by anyone who has graduated high school.

...isn't the problem with data loss NOT that the only copy of the data is physically lost, but that a copy of the data is out in the wild? This product seems to miss the point entirely.

Never heard of hyperbole, eh?

Talking while driving or adjusting the radio isn't "supertasking." Do you want to ban drivers from speaking to their passengers too?
