Corporate APIs are good for the corporations that own them, and bad for everyone else. I would be reluctant to develop on any corporate API unless I was prepared to have my work completely deleted or obviated or usurped by the platform vendor. You really don't have any power. However it's impossible to avoid them. But try to. And don't be a crybaby when you get hurt. Consume free APIs at your own risk.

There is a lot going on in the JavaScript world these days. It can be easy to forget that the vast majority of JavaScript developers today haven’t heard of any of the newest tools, and in fact, they likely aren’t even equipped to try these tools. This post is going to be an attempt to simply address some of the low hanging fruit out there, and try to bring together a few different concepts that a developer should understand before they go out and try to tackle something like Backbone.js or Ember.js. Small moves, Ellie, small moves.

Pwnie Express is happy to announce the initial release of Raspberry Pwn! Security enthusiasts can now easily turn their Raspberry Pi into a full-featured security penetration testing and auditing platform! This fully open-source release includes many of the most popular testing tools. It may be small, but it packs a punch.

Mozilla is not “stopping” Thunderbird development, it has just decided that: “continued innovation on Thunderbird is not the best use of our resources given our ambitious organizational goals.” And it’s pulling people off the project. But it’s not stopping? Right. Is the outlook brigher for Outlook?

For decades, the accepted wisdom of the Valley was that the best way to get rich was to build software. By hooking the world on Windows and Office—and outsourcing the low-margin business of building, selling, and servicing computing hardware—Microsoft created an extraordinarily profitable business and became the world’s most valuable technology company.... Apple’s phenomenal success over the past decade has brought hardware back in vogue. Follow the maker.

No, this isn’t a blog entry about comparing these options though someone would do the world a service by writing a good one. This is a blog entry about the strategic realities of these four mechanisms for sharing and backing up data with both backward and forward looks. By nerds, for nerds.

The heat-death of the universe need not bring an end to the computing age. A strange device known as a time crystal can theoretically continue to work as a computer even after the universe cools. A new blueprint for such a time crystal brings its construction a step closer. You have great powers, only some of which you have as yet discovered.

I’m in the process of researching the origin and evolution of data science as a discipline and a profession. Here are the milestones that I have picked up so far, tracking the evolution of the term “data science,” attempts to define it, and some related developments. All the data points that lead up to big data.

Owners of Cisco/Linksys home routers got a nasty shock this week, when their devices automatically downloaded a new operating system, which locked out device owners. After the update, the only way to reconfigure your router was to create an account on Cisco's "cloud" service, signing up to a service agreement that gives Cisco the right to spy on your Internet use and sell its findings, and also gives them the right to disconnect you (and lock you out of your router) whenever they feel like it.

i love the Cisco PR lackey who shows up in comments and is then set upon like a chuck roast in a lion's cage.

In the future (last month), nobody will sell anything, just lease it, so that they can control you.

And Cisco just made my list of "brands to never buy". If a free service wants to try and track me that's one thing (they have to pay their bills too, but that doesn't mean I'll make it easy for them to do it), but I will not have a product I paid for using my information as an additional revenue stream, nor will I give a company the option to shut down my personal equipment.

I was considering buying some Cisco equipment, with this, i believe i will look elsewhere.

They've been on my "do not buy" list for a rather long time.

Or you could just downgrade the current firmware.

Which would be easier if they would at least post the instructions online. Requiring you to call them for instructions is BS.

Will that make my used router more or less valuable on ebay?

What the hell is wrong with people/organizations. That is SO MESSED UP!
I can't hardly believe it .. I'm pissed and I don't even own a Cisco product !

I don't think it's cisco that will be disconnecting you. And I'm sure it's automatic data gathering, and who's really residing in that cloud, d-h-s?.
Glad I have a vintage linksys 2002 router at home. Thinking about replacing it with a new G37.

You're replacing a router with a G37? I hope you're getting the convertible[^].

That's funny Chris, I meant the other G37!, the ultimate in protection from outside forces.
other g37 - surprise
Actually your idea is better. That's a great looking car and yes the convertible for a little Sunday Cruise down PCH to Laguna Beach destination Las Brisas, and some Margarita's. I actually prefer Porsche 911's, just a fun driven car.
Las Brisas over looking the Pacific Ocean

Information is everything and information is king.
I've never studied the CodeProject T&C but does CP sell or give away the information about its almost 10 million subscribers? I'm sure there's a lot of information in there that other companies would like to harvest and tap into.
Cisco is but one facet of a multi-faceted information diamond mine.
