Malicious apps were surreptitiously added somewhere along the supply chain. Why waste time and hack them after they leave the factory?

Having begun my time here covering the late 1990s email/collaboration battles between Lotus Notes/Domino, Microsoft Outlook/Exchange, and, yes, Novell GroupWise, it’s interesting to see IBM, which bought Lotus in 1995, pledging to support Domino and Notes for, well, an open-ended long period of time. Because the good die young

Ions oscillate in synchrony, but will do so only if there is some noise. So, now you can save them in a bottle?

The broader .NET community is porting .NET Core to various Internet of Things (IoT) platforms, including Raspberry Pi 2 and 3. Silly people, raspberries don't have cores, they're drupes

But if they ported Swift to it first, it'd have an apple core.

Well, given this and the other news article a few posts down, it seems that my article on Merkle trees that should be ready for posting by Monday will be quite relevant.

Cultivating a ‘memory palace’ can make long-lasting improvements to recall, say scientists, suggesting many of us have untapped memory reserves. Ancient wisdom is wisdom for a reason

Researchers say tens of thousands of sites are using JavaScript libraries that are years old and contain publicly known vulnerabilities. "Other kings said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show 'em!"

Sadly, the article doesn't say that js is unsafe, but that old js is unsafe -- and you can say that about just about anything (or anyone)(me in particular, if you call me old!)

Playable Ads are a completely new way for end users to interact with ads and apps. With this capability, end users never leave the current app. Oh, it's just what I've always wanted. How thoughtful of a gift.

Sudden Sun Death Syndrome (SSDS) is a very real concern which we should be raising awareness of. 156 billion suns die every year before they're just 1 billion years old.

The first app they rolled out with it proved unpopular, though -- mind you, windows 10 was already unpopular, even before they turned it into a playable app.

Once again proving that naming things is one of the most difficult challenges in computer science. Using streaming to try an app without having to install it is a really neat idea. Sticking the word 'ad' on it will result in 99% of the potential userbase viewing it as pure cancer.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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?

Chemical computers are becoming ever more of a reality. It turns out that after an appropriate teaching procedure even a relatively simple chemical system can perform non-trivial operations. Wake me up when there's a C# compiler for that chemical computer
