Comment Re: A car from the guy who brought us the Apple Wa (Score 1) 143

Still bitter that The Apple Watch sold more units in one day than Android watches did all 2014?

Huh?! What has that got to do with anything?!? Apple (and many others) have tried to sell a device that fails on the simple premises of being a 'watch' before any other bells and whistles. Fits nicely on the the wrist, minimal weight, battery lasts for years... Now put the simple premises of a car, addressed as badly as smart watches have been and see how badly that thing gets you from A to B.

Submission + - Google Encrypts All Blogspot Domains With HTTPS

Mickeycaskill writes: Google is continuing its crusade to encrypt the web by enabling an HTTPS version of every single domain hosted on Blogspot.

The search giant started the rollout last September, but as an opt-in service. Now users can opt to visit an HTTPS version of a site without its participation, while administrators can turn on an automatic redirect so all visitors are sent to the encrypted version.

“HTTPS is fundamental to internet security; it protects the integrity and confidentiality of data sent between websites and visitors’ browsers,” said Milanda Perera, security software engineer at Google.

Google already encrypts its search results, Google Drive and Gmail, while it also ranks HTTPS-enabled sites higher in search. Blogspot rival WordPress has already promised to rollout HTTPS.
