If the Android version doesn't have a (securely) locked bootloader too then yes you will be able to.

The situation with Windows 8 on ARM *sucks*, I don't like it and I don't think they should dictate to OEMs that they must not allow custom mode. In my opinion, they went too far with locking down ARM and freeing up x86. For Windows 8 x86 machines, it is required that the OEMs provide a mechanism to install alternative operating systems. For ARM, it is required that they not. This is, to me, wrong. But c'est la vie, it is actually not too different from other tablets, most Android tablets I believe have locked bootloaders that had to be circumvented to install other OSes. And of course, the iPad is a black box.

Slow down cowboy, I think he's referring to the tablet and mobile market, in which Apple does have a large market share and they have:

* Restricted users from installing other OSes? Check.
* Bundled their own apps? Check.
* Restricted users from installing apps whose functionality overlaps with the bundled apps? Check.
* Restricted app developers from using advertising providers that aren't Apple? Check.

The list goes on, and on. The iOS developer agreement is a hideous, monstrous, terrible blight on the software world and should never have happened. But Apple has gone further in embracing lock-in and bundling and anti-competitive practices with iOS than Microsoft has *ever* gone with Windows. If you produce an app and Apple decides to make that part of the core functionality in the next version, they'll take your toy, kick sand in your face and eject you from the app store. Only the immense amount of pressure of some very large companies lobbying Apple for leniency on particular apps has caused them to yield on *certain things* and they are very particular about what those things are.

Doesn't work. Just rerun the picture test enough times to deduce that the constant is that you always get cars and flowers, but other items are subject to change. So then by induction, you try one more thing. Three constant things. Well then there are only 6 ways to choose 2 elements. Fine, make all say, 9 pictures constant "things", one of which is a car and one of which is a flower. How many 2-permutations? 72.

Surely an accomplished individual like him could put out a serious paper on why picture passwords aren't good security, if they aren't. The math seemed alright in the Microsoft blog, so I don't know what the problem is.

Oh, I know what it is, he's the head of a company that offers alternative security products that use multi-factor authentication. *Of course* well implemented multi-factor auth is more secure than single-factor, but if he weren't in charge of a company trying to sell a product, would this article even exist? Probably not.

The law is what you can successfully litigate.

I don't think Verisign will sign your private root certificate, no matter how much you ask. At the very least, I doubt they'd sign it with flags that make it able to sign other certificates in a chain, it'd just be for verifying the authenticity of the (your) private root.

Yes! I've discovered lately when evaluating Chrome for workstation use that Chrome now has a (ever-growing) list of group policies available. Grab the adm/admx templates and MSI installer and check them out.

Coincidentally, the latest Chromium/Chrome Canary/Chrome Dev builds also started ignoring IE's trusted zone lists and so windows integrated authentication (Kerberos Negotiate) stopped working. Boo. Supposedly there's a new policy that I can set to fix this. I reported the issue but am waiting for clarification on whether this is intended behavior, a security issue, or what.

Which way it's pointed.

Often those sites are unwitting hosts to malware that are eventually cleaned up, so I'd hope that they don't start permanently blocking.
