I'm beginning to think that many corporations establish online systems without ever doing a serious 3rd party security audit and then penetration testing, plus using whatever real time monitoring tools they can to detect and stop intrusions.

This reminds me of the US leaving the Southern US border open and saying "No terrorists would get in across our Southern border."

Uber wants "Uber über alles!"

You tweak a bit on the cooling side and get a repeat of the Maunder Minimum; then what?

Do you lose 25% of the population by starvation and freezing again as before?

What more could you want than open windows and doors to your vault of info.

There are those who are spies and paid well to do their work.

How about the NSA identifying open doors in US Gov't entitity's systems!

What is most interesting is the nearly equal radial spacing of the half dozen most distinct rings.

That begs the question, why?

Seems like one of the jobs of IT departments for the last 10 years should have been to have their own surveillance software to be watching for activities that indicate software changes, moving of data, and added code that should be detectable so they can verify what is happening to their systems in near real time.

Hmmm, then by looking at the video, we saw that the iPad attracted an ENTIRELY different set of users than the advertiser was trying to reach. Humor is so much fun.

You can pick a shallower water area for its higher tidal flow speed, but that increases stresses and chance for damage.

But there are deep water currents that are consistent at 5-6 knots which avoid almost all marine life in some places down 5-6000 feet deep. A few are in close to shorelines.

Some servers have been designed to have the motherboard immersed/sealed in dielectric fluid in a sealed box to take the heat out, which would also be in a sealed structure. That stops the need for air as a heat transfer method. Would require waterproof electrical connectors.

Over 100 car companies disappeared by WWII.

Now in 2014 a half dozen former "cell phone" makers have sort of slipped out of sight; Palm, BB, Moto, Win, Nokia, Dell & HP something.

The world contracts to a few super usable designs but instead of taking 50 years for cars, now it took only about 5 years with "the smartphone."

Is this the scenario for the future; Be right, Be first, Be best or else?

The system font option will be with a quick utility that programmers have no doubt already put together for users that will want it.

Personally, I don't care as I don't work & live in the system font.

Step 0: Put men & women into space for 3-5 years and see if anyone is left functionally able to continue doing work at the end of that time. It is already highly suspect that people would be able to see by the end of 3-5 years. We have one heck of a lot to learn yet.
                                    If people can't stay alive for 3 years, then figure out how to do it before you continue further.

Your "effects" are what give your work value and that you build up over time, if you are a professional.

If you are a consultant and can't protect your 'effects', meaning your customer lists, fee schedules, solutions and such, then someone will likely get it and use it for free, or start taking your customers away.

The FBI director needs to take a new line of work. As a lawyer, by the way, he needs to protect his "effects" or his clients could sue him for allowing their information to become public.
