The worst part about this is to think companies actually pay this guy to consult for them.
I wouldn't let him or anyone from that company step through the door.

Well of course they're easily generated from XML. They're in native .svg format and will look great on anything from a 16x16 titlebar icon to a digital billboard at times square.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

What, are they saying that allowing a US corporation to upload and store (with real-time changes) all your (business critical) data might be a bad thing?
If so, it's obviously time to upgrade to ms office 2003.

A pair of researchers, one from the University of Munich, the other the University of Amsterdam has found that people may behave with overconfidence as a means to persuade or deceive other people. That's what I've *always* said
It always works when "rules lawyering"

"one from the University of No Sh*t, the other the University of Sherlock"

That it took two researchers to find the bleeding obvious speaks well to those fine institutions.

Isn't that the point of overconfidence? You're trying to deceive at least yourself, and usually everyone else, too.
I mean really? Why did anyone waste time studying this?

If you've been ignoring 5G, start paying attention. It may not be time yet to orchestrate a 5G implementation, but it's certainly time to think about your plans. Well, it's one higher, innit?

I'd like to sign up for that testing. As soon as they hook it up to my brain the machine will come to a dead stop, and they'll think its broken. I can't think of a better way to prank facebooks mind reading software.

Security researchers analyzing the security flaws present in IoT devices used in smart buildings were able to replace the real video feeds with arbitrary footage. Wasn't that a plot line in every Mission Impossible movie?
And assorted other thriller/mystery/spy/crime movies (and maybe a few comedies as well)?

And have these "Security researchers" been arrested and charged?
The world becomes a safer place, every time one of them is taken off the streets.

Senator Josh Hawley has introduced a bill, the Social Media Addiction Reduction Technology Act (yes, that's SMART Act), that would ban features deemed to be exploitative. It would primarily forbid infinite scrolling, autoplaying media and achievements that don't "substantially" reward users with more content.
Talk about a hero for all the wrong reasons.
Death to infinite scrolling garbage fires and autoplaying video.

Banking institution Capital One has just revealed that it’s suffered a data breach that exposed the names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, dates of birth, and self-reported incomes of approximately 100 million Americans, and 6 million in Canada, due to a “configuration vulnerability” in the servers of an unnamed cloud computing company hosting the bank’s data. Who's in your wallet?

Quote: "Apple will not be given Tariff waiver, or relief, for Mac Pro parts that are made in China,"
Quote: Trump, however, has encouraged companies, including Apple, to bring their manufacturing back to the US. "I told Tim Cook (Apple's CEO), a friend of mine, make your product in the United States. Build those big, beautiful plants that go on for miles it seems," Trump said in January. "China is the biggest beneficiary of Apple, more than us." [^] The orange-haired one was not reported as saying: Quote: You need serfs for long hours of repetitive work at low wages, with no benefits: no problem."
