Comment Why do you think Banks avoid Cloud like a Plague? (Score 1) 531

Follow the money trail. Do you see why Banks avoid storing data in Cloud? YES. Did you ask why? Because they knew this issue would arise. So, lesson is: Your local hard drive is FAR better than some invisible Cloud. Cloud is good for computing. Not for data. Data is local.

Comment My son is 8... (Score 1) 423

...and uses my Desktop PC better than i do. No amount of password, parental controls works on him. His only sites are Lego.com and Youtube's Lego/Starwars channels. Tried blocking it in HOSTS file. Seems damn useless. He just started playing them directly in Bing's search results. Blocked Bing, and google is available. Blocked Google, and suddenly found am helpless. Oh, and in addition, the same HOSTS file stuff does not work on iPhone or iPad. Password protected iPhone, and he broke it by watching me type in once. Used parental controls on iPad, and he went to settings to disable it. On the Galaxy S3 phone its worse. You change the password, he looks at the keyboard while you type. And retypes the exact same sequence next time. You use the face recognition on Galaxy S3, he shoves the phone in your face to unlock and runs away. You use pattern security, he uses the Emergency dial to call my landline and pester me unless i unlock. Amazingly, he doesn't spill liquids or treats the PC/Phone harsh. He treats them better than i do. I hate myself.

Comment Reacting instead of Acting. Apple is doomed (Score 1) 201

Apple is going to die a slow death. Steve was a visionary who set the standards that others have failed to match till now. He prized innovation and was a trailblazer, to hell with wallstreet and others. Now, Apple is being led by the B-class bureacrats that he hated SO far. These morons don't have fuckin clue. They are just paper pushers with an IQ of less than 70. These guys hate innovation as it disturbs their sedate lifestyle. Am sure we would see an exodus of engineers from Apple. That's when i will start dumping Apple stock.

How I miss Stalin and Beria. They would not have bothered with these niceties. A quick short jab, or a taxi running crazy, or even a hero of soviet union medal to entice him back and then arrest him... I miss the good old days when governmens used to run the show without having to play nice with people like Assange.
