No, they have two million players, not two million subscribers. There's a very important difference there.

Remember that the game has a free trial now. Inflating that player count is very easy.

Weren't they suppose to be announcing active player numbers recently? Notice how that never happened? Gee, wonder why.

The idea that a failed MMO from 2010 could someone be a competitor in 2014 while requiring a subscription is just so laughable I don't even no where to start. And, yes, I've played 2.0. They removed everything interesting from their horrible launch and ripped off as much of World of Warcraft as they possibly could. It's still not worth playing and the lack of active subscriber numbers bears that out.

Wildstar is still in flux because they managed to scare a ton of their original player base away but they're now working hard on earning them back. Destiny has already entered that wonderful "wait until the next patch" period where it's flat-out not worth playing until updated. (And how I wish Destiny players would stop whining about that, but that's a different issue.)

I notice you didn't bother mentioning ArcheAge, which is the current "big MMO" that's drawing a ton of players away from other MMOs. It sounds like it's the MMO that people wanted TESO to be. Could be interesting or could flame out in a couple of months. We'll just have to wait and see.

You know what, based on previous Apple stories, probably not.

Apparently Apple is so stupidly secretive about their new phones that when they beta test the new hardware, they require them to be in special "camouflage cases" to prevent outsiders from getting a sneak peak at the new phone.

So it's entirely possible that they literally never tested having the phone in a pants pocket the entire day without it also being in a rigid case that prevented the problem from happening.

Apparently this only affects iPhone 6/6 Plus phones.

I wonder what the chances are that they just accidentally forgot to include the drivers for the new TouchID sensor and the new cellular radios in those phones? Because that would be a truly hilarious QA mistake.

"What, we were supposed to try this on our flagship phone? Oops."

Wait, so iOS 8.0.1 prevents hipsters from unlocking their phones and from making calls?

And Apple is calling that a bug and pulling the update over that?

This sounds like the best version of iOS Apple has ever created! Why would they want to stop people from upgrading? Get iOS 8.0.1 out to everyone as fast as possible!

I just updated Cygwin to the latest, and yes, it's still vulnerable. (At least its bash-4.1.10-4 is, I suppose it's possible that the mirror I'm using is out of date.)

It would be nice if the article mentioned what browsers/plugins were vulnerable, wouldn't it? (And does this cover api.jquery.com or just the home page?) Although it wouldn't surprise me that they just don't know yet since jQuery is still investigating.

I'm pretty sure I'm up to date with everything, but...

Wow you're dense.

I'm saying that what the US is doing in Syria is exactly equivalent to what Russia is doing in Ukraine.

Because, according to international law, it is.

The sanctions being imposed against Russia are for Russia taking literally the exact same actions the US is currently taking in Syria.

You can argue the relative morality all you want, but we're still, ultimately, invading a sovereign nation.

According to the article, the library itself wasn't affected.

Plus most people don't use jQuery.com as a CDN. Instead jQuery recommends you use Google's CDN if you want to use a CDN for jQuery.

Of course, this is still bad - I visit jQuery.com fairly frequently to check the documentation. The article doesn't say what was required for the malware to run so I have no idea if I was vulnerable to it or not, but if it was dropped on all pages and not just the home page, I definitely could have been hit by it.

Which is why Apple are giving people the choice between a larger phone, or an even larger phone. Because choices are important.

If you liked the original iPhone size, Apple has nothing for you. Because your choice isn't important. Whatever Apple says you want, that's what you get.

I can't help but feel like there are three very important words you've ignored: "under international law."

You can argue which is more justified from a humanitarian point of view, but under international law, we're invading Syria in exactly the same way Russia invaded Ukraine.

If I'm reading what the BBC is reporting correctly, we're exactly as justified under international law in attacking ISIL on Syrian soil as Russia was in helping Ukrainian separatists in Ukraine.

So either the US has to drop sanctions against Russia, or we're just giant hypocrites.

I wonder which one Obama will pick? Hmmm...

And if you honestly believe that, you may just be on Obamacare!

I remember ArsTechnica's review of iOS 8 confirmed that it's slower and has worse battery life than iOS 7 on every device that runs both except for some version of the iPod, weirdly enough. In some cases it was very slight, but iOS 8 was always worse.

They also warned people not to install iOS 8 on the iPhone 4S not only due to performance concerns but because the UI doesn't really fit on the screen. (Or something along those lines.)

So, sure, iOS 8 is a "pig," for certain definitions of "pig," and anyone who reads Slashdot (which posted the ArsTechnica article) should have been aware of that before upgrading.

Which is why my new album consists of nothing but sounds in the 96kHz+ range. Go ahead and pirate that.

(And in the course of making that joke, I discover that the actual HD music format uses 192kHz as its ceiling. You win, audiophiles, you win.)

Apple does realize that NFC isn't only used for payment systems, right? My camera can transfer pictures to a smart phone using NFC. It allows you to take high quality pictures of something and then post them straight to whatever social media you're using without going through a computer. It's a really nice feature when you're wandering around someplace photogenic and don't want to be limited to a cellphone camera.

Oh, right, Apple declared proper digital cameras "dead" in their iPhone 6 keynote. I guess that feature will never make it to iOS then.

Not to mention other types of data transfer that's possible with NFC like easily sharing contact information or things like that.
