Comment Re:"It's Apple's device" (Score 1) 980

What is anti-competitive? This article indicates that Adobe wants to be handed the right to put its proprietary, lock-in web video platform on Apple's phone. They are both closed systems. Should FOX News be forced to run Logo Channel programs (or vice-versa) in the name of viewer "choice"? Or should cable companies be forced to carry every channel that exists, regardless of what they have revenue to pay for? If Adobe feels they need a phone to promote their crappy, proprietary, lock-in platform, they can develop their own damn phone. Just like Apple did to promote its technologies and media store.

Comment Of Course It's Insecure! (Score 1) 243

If somebody puts a keylogger on your Windows box, they'll get what they need no matter how many passwords you are required to type. Adding another password to the stack adds zero security; it just makes it easier for the credit card company to claim you are truly responsible for the transaction. "It can't possibly be fraudulent--it was Verified by Visa(TM)!"

I try to avoid doing business with anyone who requires me to go through VbV. I know it's not there to protect me.

Comment ShadowMan!!! (Score 1) 1120

ShadowMan! The New Orleans / Voodoo theme is fantastic! I'd make ShadowMan more human-looking, like in the first game, and I'd make Deadside more visually interesting. And I would not make the challenges impossibly difficult or have a ridiculously hard control scheme, as in the awful ShadowMan 2. Basically, if the people who did HalfLife 2 were to do the same thing for ShadowMan, it would be frickin awesome!

Comment Banks Don't Care (Score 1) 432

I used to report certificate problems to my banks. Invariably the person in the data center would ask, "What browser are you using?" And when I told them Firefox or Safari, they would say, "well, you need to switch to Internet Explorer." They do not care about IE's lack of security. I click right thru bank security certificate warnings now, because I know it is pointless to report when certificates go out of date or have other problems.
