So, Ubuntu attempts to bridge mobile and desktop, and fails. Microsoft attempts to bridge mobile and desktop with Windows 8, and fails. So Apple will try, and win? In what alternate reality does that make any sense?

Getting cats out of trees isn't firefighting, but firefighters rescue cats all the time.

Just because social engineering isn't hacking doesn't mean hackers can't do it.

While it is very interesting that the missing episodes may be found, in reality, many of the early versions of Doctor Who are just painful to watch. Poor dialogue, agonizing slow pacing, terrible direction, etc, etc. If the BBC truly wants to revive the old episodes of Doctor Who, take the audio tracks (note: audio from EVERY episode survives) and created an animated series. Clean up the story lines and create something worth watching again.

And it all lead to that moment Steve Jobs announced the iPhone to the world, and started the downward fall of Blackberry.

Yes you can, via their corporate TLP (Transactional Licensing Program). Unfortunately, it's not the latest and greatest version, but for many people, that isn't critical.

Why iPads? Because of educational software. It's not about the hardware, it's about the software.

"The airport said it had complained to the phone-maker through the local attorney general's office."
The airport couldn't contact Apple directly? Instead they need to involve other levels of bureaucracy and red tape?

Paragraph 1 of the article:

By producing fake reviews, these companies violated multiple state laws against false advertising and engaged in illegal and deceptive business practices.

Anyone who buys one of those cheap alarm systems probably doesn't have anything worth stealing anyway.

The Fifth Amendment should be extended to any party in any type of court.

Have you read the Fifth Amendment?
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

There is nothing in there that relates at all to third-party testimony. There is zero foundation for the position that third-party testimony be protected by an amendment that has nothing to do with third-party testimony.

If you want to make the argument that all testimony should be voluntary, you're going to have to come up with a lot better reason.

I'm not sure this is sexist. I see it as just plain stupid to present something like this to a conference. It's two young programmers who didn't really think things through.

Changing this paradigm will require security professionals to develop new communication skills so they can talk about security risks in terms that are clearly relevant to the top-level business goals."

Is it possible to cram any more buzzwords into that paragraph?

2560x1440 or 2560x1600 monitors are fairly commonplace these days. What will happen in the next few years with TV and computer monitor resolutions?

Just because you don't need or want a higher resolution standard doesn't mean others don't.
