He blogged/tweeted/whatever about an unreleased product and its features..... and that is probably what the blogging policy was about. If you are an employee you don't talk about unannounced products or features without explicit approval. It's one of the most important policies companies have, especially in this industry.

Might as well ask how it would do with a Zalman CPU fan. Corsair is no yardstick in Water Cooling by ANY stretch of the imagination. What it is is decent consumer level WC, but we are talking enthusiast here which means real deal WC components.

Is this really a mystery? I'm pretty sure Apple hit the nail on the head.

For one thing every account that was hacked should have "registered" devices. Simply track the IPs of where those devices were registered and apps downloaded and you have a means to determine fraud from naught.

And THAT is the problem. All this "one click" bs. it's not about how many clicks it is to get to the function, it's about how easy it is to perform the task. Ribbons are a confusing mess (at least every one of Microsoft's are) so it makes finding functions a frustrating nightmare because they seem to live in a world of their own physics.

Any good strategist knows you can't just sit in a fortress and remain safe forever. The same applies here.

That's not to say I disagree with "improving" the security of vital systems (your statement "if they would just secure" implies they aren't, which of course is absurd, our systems are secure... are they secure enough is the question".)

Of course I'd suggest it's equally absurd to think that we aren't actively working to secure our networks.

Wild goose chase.... do you really think it's so far fetched that foreign powers would try to manipulate groups like this? if you do then you are either very ignorant, naive or being manipulated and you don't even realize it.

It does, however, lack Chrome's built-in Flash, PDF and audio players."

"also, it lacks support for html but we are working on it..."

Or they tend to be unsatisfied housewives.

How can you mark a post as "redundant" when it's the second post on the topic and the first post had nothing to do with it?

If you have mod points try paying more attention to timestamps.

I'd really like to know how Safari manages to be usable without requiring you to "confirm" your age every time you launch it.

I'm with you. There's a LOT of options coming, Android is a great platform and frankly.... I'll be happy with running Windows 7 on a tablet as well.

Very well said H0p313ss.

The one who sounds polarized here is yourself bud. So you imply that anyone who responds in disagreement with you is "immature", ie you are right, end of story. Sounds like you might be the one needing some more years of fermenting.

As for your assertion that Obama receiving the prize is somehow absurd, I would have to disagree. The Obama campaign and his work leading to his election was one of the most positive things to happen in the world at that time, most specificially in generating a positve image for America and hope for an improved world culture. Do I think that this is a good enough reason to award the prize? Not necessarily, but i also disagree that it's absurd or that it has somehow completely discredited the institution.

Let's sum it up this way. You post is politically motivated plain and simple

No kidding. But hey, Microsoft just wants liability protection. They don't give a shit about actually giving users the data they need to protect themselves if it means tarnishing their image.

They know you can't replace Windows, but you can easily replace IE, hence it's a "Windows" problem.

So you don't think designers aren't important? I've seen many a broken application due to "coders" with poor design skills. Software designers are as important as the coders themselves, quality development houses know this.

That doesn't mean a designer can't be, or shouldn't be a coder, but it's not required.

Design and implementation, two different things.
