Microsoft doesn't want another Windows XP, I'll wager they are after a 5 year turn around or perhaps even faster.

$'s.

What exactly are you trying to say?

With the last name "Cohen" hyperbole is expected.

People like you are dangerous, I know you can't see it, but you're far worse than Sterling.

I find the whole thing hilarious, all the old man said was "I don't want to be around or associated with blacks" to a woman who is on video as saying
"Blacks are stupid and crazy"

Then the media circus is queued and he is "forced" to sell the team, winds up getting 2 billion tax free.

Racism never entered into it, if a person says "I don't want to be around those kinds of people" it isn't "racism" it's a personal preference.

My suggestion is that things went exactly the way Sterling wanted them to, and it's hilarious, the other option is that he was played to get the team out from under him.

The message on TrueCrypt's new website got me thinking:
        Using TrueCrypt is not secure as it may contain unfixed security issues

        Let's isolate the first letter of each word:
        (U)sing (T)rueCrypt (i)s (n)ot (s)ecure (a)s (i)t (m)ay (c)ontain (u)nfixed (s)ecurity (i)ssues

        Result?
        utinsaimcusi

        Let's spread that!
        uti nsa im cu si

        That is latin for
        "If I wish to use the NSA"

        Stay away from future Truecrypt releases. This is clearly a warning from the developers.

Yeah I like how ATT sells it as a favour to the customer when it's really about being able to charge more for your information when they sell it to 3rd parties.

Is what monopolies get you, but aside from that why would *anyone* use their US phone for such a thing?
Buy a sim or get a cheap Canadian burner phone or.... how about just asking directions.

Data roaming is a scam just like text messages.

They rarely give life sentences for murder, but OMG computer crime? You're done.

Is what this reminds me of.

I saw the patch first thing, then the warning telling me it wasn't trusted.

It's just "cooler" with a certain group to own an iPhone over Android, and if all your "friends" use iPhones it makes sense to choose that device for a multitude of reasons, including compatibility with their "friends" devices. I hear people refer to Android as "Too Windowy" and the hype over attack and infection rates is a great scare tactic to drive customers to another platform. The average person isn't concerned with handling their own security, instead they want someone to do that for them so they don't have to worry. I have a acquaintance that installs tons of apps on his Nexus 7, all free too, then he complains about issues that arise and odd quirks. Using the exact same tablet I have 0 issues, but I got over that "install everything" phase and only put specific apps that there is a need for. One last note, Apple's iOS8 and its 4000+ new API's some of which allow apps to talk to each other smells to me like a gigantic security nightmare, especially after their rather obvious SSL "bug".

If you use Kickstarter is there any reason you can't accept funding from other sources? Because Kickstarter is something I can see everyone using just to pick up some extra funding. Sort of Kickstarter abuse, but then I would guess it's only abuse depending on the end result.

Why? Keep in mind I see no altruism here, so what's the motivation? Is this some sort of gold rush to capture the uncovered areas? What would a large corporation expect to monetize in an area that has little to no infrastructure?
