Google CEO Larry Page was asked how society should deal with unemployment that may arise from technological advances. Does it involve eating cake?

"Today there's no legislation regarding how much intelligence a machine can have, how interconnected it can be. If that continues, look at the exponential trend. We will reach the singularity in the timeframe most experts predict. From that point on you're going to see that the top species will no longer be humans, but machines."

How do you stop the unstoppable killer Terminators if you’re not Sarah Connor? Google does it with a simple text file. "It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear."
Yes. I am talking about Google, not the Terminators.

Top-down implementation of agile is a commonly use approach for agile adoption in organizations. Alternative approaches exist, like implementing agile by stealth, using continuous improvement teams, starting with a quiet phase or taking baby steps by implementing a limited set of agile practices. "So let's act with agility while we still have facility. For we'll soon reach senility, and lose the ability."

Open source MS-DOS alternative lives—but using it nearly killed me. "Those were the days, oh yes those were the days"

"it nearly killed me"
What a wuss. I spend most of my day in a DOSbox (on Win 7) and I telnet into OpenVMS at home.

The regularly-scheduled quarterly security updates for Java on July 15 will not include updates for Windows XP, which is now formally unsupported by Oracle. That should be the final nail in the coffin :rollseyes:

there have been way too many nails in the coffin so far, don't think people will switch away from windows XP any-time soon, its currently happening super slowly, almost at a glacial pace.

Apple's iOS ecosystem is much more efficient, allowing it to generate more revenue for app builders. "More efficient?" Yeah, that's one term for the Apple "ecosystem"

I think it's more a matter of iDevelopers being greedy money-hungry more capitalistic and less likely to write open source / freeware / etc.

Very true. I'd love to see a price breakdown of the two (three) stores. I'd bet there are more higher priced ones in the iStore.

The National Security Agency’s attempts to keep track of people outside the US who use encryption and anonymization software from the Tor Project also apparently captured the traffic of anyone reading a wide range of articles on Linux Journal, according to documents published by the German public television broadcaster ARD and provided by security researchers (and Tor contributors) Jacob Appelbaum, Aaron Gibsom, and Leif Ryge. All that talk of free? Can't trust them.

If I were a betting kind of guy, I’d bet that most developers don’t consider the inherent security of their chosen programming language(s) when beginning a new project. "When the site was found we laid the foundations down. It didn't take long before they came back tumbling down"

I need someone to explain it! Cross site scripting happening more in a specific language, because of that language?
So if I have ten thousand SQL injection attacks a month it is because I choose C# to develop my application? And what if all that attacks failed?
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

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?

Why Windows 8's usage share is at 12 percent, what that means, and why it doesn't really matter in the long run. There's no where to go but up?
His point about "12% of a really big number is really big" is pretty good though - as is the comparison with OSX.
