Once, not so long ago, "computing" was synonymous with Microsoft Windows. But thanks to the rise of the smartphone and tablet, those days are behind us. Freecell becomes the new monopoly?

In 2009, Eugene Kaspersky, co-founder of one of the world's top security companies, told some of his lieutenants that they should attack rival antivirus software maker AVG Technologies by "rubbing them out in the outhouse," one of several previously undisclosed emails shows. That would make them (of course) an anti-anti-virus company

Since the beginning of the consumer tech industry, there’s really only been one business model for hardware startups: build a product and hope people buy it.
That’s starting to change - the hardware market is now starting to look more and more like the software business and several Canadian startups are starting to take advantage of this new market. Well that's a mouthful.

One man's journey learning Clojure. Embrace the parentheses.

Quote: Perhaps the next thing that hits you, coming from a background in Java, is the lack of static type checking. (
...
On the other hand, it’s a bit like ‘Holy-cow, I’m just receiving a map as an argument to my function! What the hell has it got in it?’ Err, yeah, your guess is as good as mine4.
But if you can live without the typing of Java, then Clojure is remarkably productive.
I think I'll pass.
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?

Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

I found myself in somewhat of a unique position last week: I’d made the Ashley Madison data searchable for verified subscribers of Have I been pwned? (HIBP) and now – perhaps unsurprisingly in retrospect – I was being inundated with email. I mean hundreds of emails every day with people asking questions about the data. Not just asking questions, but often giving me their life stories as well. In the words of Shaggy: "It wasn't me."

I'm not. I've never gone wrong betting on human stupidity.
... and now back to reveling in schadenfreude over the fiasco.

New research from data security solutions vendor Imperva sheds new light into directed denial of service (DDoS) attacks against businesses, showing not only are attack volumes increasing – attacks are lasting longer as well.. Harder, better, faster, stronger.

Google has secretly hidden a tool inside its search results that recruits talented new programmers for the company. Searching for some complex programming terms can lead to access to a series of online puzzles. Solving the puzzles can lead to a job. Guess my searches for cat videos didn't grab Sergey's or Larry's attention.

This is actually part of Google's super secret recruiting tool. Congrats on the interview!

Yet another reason to block Google in your firewall.
Nice way for them to see what you're working on and steal your ideas....

Evasive tactics:
1. Distribute your searches over multiple search engines
2. Cloak you searches by searching for a lot of different useless terms as well
3. Further pad the searches with Cat Video searches
4. DO NOT SEARCH FOR BACON - the immediate give away.

Facebook has unveiled a new service that can suggest gifts and restaurants at your request - and then buy stuff and make reservations on your behalf.
Facebook M is a personal digital assistant – like Apple's Siri, Google Now and Microsoft's Cortana – that will become part of Facebook's standalone Messenger app. Judi Dench is that you?

Imagine if, decades from now, a computer spat out a brilliant design for a vehicle so novel that we humans have no choice but to call it an act of imagination.
One day, University of Wyoming AI researcher Jeff Clune plans to build this kind of artificially intelligent agent, and he already has the blueprints. Teaching Skynet Jr. to think outside the box.

I hope not to see it. It won't be nice if they manage to be successful

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

This score is kind of insane.
Tesla Motors Inc.’s all-wheel-drive version of the battery-powered Model S, the P85D, earned a 103 out of a possible 100 in an evaluation by Consumer Reports magazine.
The combination of power and efficiency was so off-the-chart that the group had to recalibrate its ratings methods “to account for the car’s exceptionally strong performance,” according to a statement. Ultimately, the car was given a score of 100 that set a new standard for perfection. At $105,000 a pop, it will also literally break your wallet.

In announcing its latest app initiative Wednesday, Amazon put an italicized emphasis on the fact that apps and games in the new "Amazon Underground" section are "actually free" for Android devices. That means users can go on an in-app purchase shopping spree for all of the chapters, items, options, and "energy" they want, while developers get pennies on the hour in exchange for giving up their beloved monetization plan. Penny for your thoughts?
