Weren't Tribbles unisex?

That's interesting... Implies any driver that uses the HP hotkeys could have the issues... Hmm... Thanks for the clarification....

When the original keylogger problem was discovered a few months ago, HP said it was because someone left the debug "feature" for keylogging turned on by accident. So why is everyone surprised it exists, at least in the old versions?

Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) is a computer security technique that randomizes the memory address where application code is executed.

A possible positive would be that workers might now have enough free hours to work a 2nd job, IF THEY CAN FIND ONE... The net effect would be more money at the end of the month, but its a big if...

I believe the real reason is Microsoft's plan to offer Real Windows on new ARM processor machines via x86 (32-bit) emulation. See https://www.extremetech.com/co... Microsoft can't let 32-bit die less this new emulation project become become another Windows RT. Perhaps this will change if and when they can emulate 64 bits...

I never did understand why Live Action Disney movies of the past never did well... I really loved The Black Hole... I think I even had a Lunch Box... Other good ones: The Absent-Minded Professor Tron And for a more modern favorite (but not Disney): Stargate

Obviously driven by sales of "Greatest Hits of Guardians of the Galaxy" Volumes 1 + 2... ;)

Enterprise customers will still get to pick and choose updates, so likely it is only the "Windows Update" that will be the cumulative only package. You can still manually download individual patches (at least if you have paid support.)

"All of the individual courses that make up the Nanodegree are available online for no charge, Google said, while Udacity offers additional paid services." I THINK the $199 is for Udacity Mentoring and a Cert at the end. Being only a novice in Java and never having programmed for Android (I'm a DBA most days, but program on occasion.), I plan to take the classes for free just for the knowledge and practice... I've taken about a dozen classes for free this way, but agree most who go the free route are not committed. Even when you could get Honor Code certs, I think half the class would drop out by 2nd week, then lost another 5% evey weeks that follows...

The Pebble Core is the big news to me... Looks to me like the start of adding 3G to the watch so a Cell is no longer needed at all. Will be interesting to see if it ends up as being part of a watch band. Also wonder if it would pair with the older Pebbles... (Bet it will...)

Anyone know for sure the EHR sfotware they are using? A quick Google search seems to say they were switching to Cerner a couple years ago, but would like conformation...

Pebble was the 1st gen to be successful, at least in the short term... I had a 2nd Generation Sony Smartwatch (watch looked nice but awful band)., and then a Motorola MotoActv watch (runs Android, but not Android Wear), before getting a Pebble and I am very happy (finally). Technically, it is good enough and price point is okay. The real limitation is you really need to wear it all the time, and watches are thought of more as jewelry. When they are truly attractive and can be changed out at will without effort merging information is when they MIGHT take off again. I suspect if they just put sensors in watchbands of regular watches and put some sort of LCD screen under the hands and got batteries "self winding" we would see a merging of the markets... (Is the regular watch market all that profitable accept for the high end?)

Not true unless you wait until its completely dead (and even not as long as it takes to charge an Android watch)... I charge it while in the shower each day (10 minutes) and have never run out of battery... All they really need is either wireless charging and/or a watch band with a battery in it to make it even better.

If its a good fake job and they only see the data for a few seconds at a time, sure it could fool them. Thats not the point tho. This method proves the hack is not fake and improves odds the retrieved data has not been tampered with...
