Do invalid certificates count as performance bugs?
I didn't open the page, so it impeded the performance of my perusal of the article.

A new study shows that when we follow navigational instructions, such as those given by GPS devices, the parts of our actual brains that normally perform navigation remain quiet. "Recalculating"
|

Nicholas Carr's book The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains mentions this specifically. In a group of London cab drivers who started using GPS devices, the part of their brain responsible for navigation actually shrank. The book isn't perfect, but it takes an interesting look at both the good and bad effects of the increasing amounts of time we spend online.

When people read something out loud to us, the parts of our brain that are used for reading keep quiet!
I mean, WTF. Really.

No, I was just trying to be cute . There seems to be a race to get to the magic 500 contacts and I was making a satire out of it.
I don't use it much, but I think it could be useful for consultants or people looking for a new job. I have around 25 contacts and have hidden my profile so only logged in people searching through Linkedin can find me.

White dwarf flies around a black hole every 28 minutes | Ars Technica UK[^]
Quote: One way this system could have formed is if the black hole plowed into one of the globular cluster's red giant stars, rapidly consuming most of its material. The core of the red giant could survive as a white dwarf. Over time, the white dwarf may have spiraled closer and closer in toward the black hole until it got close enough for the black hole to begin sucking off some of its material. That's something that would be really cool to see how it ends

Well, the changes requested by the Chinese Intelligence Agency (oh see, a conspiration ) are for Chinese users only, while the changes requested by US authorities are for all users world-wide. That makes a difference, eh?

This isn't new. China is a big enough market that MS has been making ridiculous concessions to them for years; and they'd be stupid not to.
The problem is that they get source code to feed into their million-monkey pit, which is where a lot of the new Zero-day exploits come from.

Google and every security site disagree.
In malware "rankings", China is close to the bottom, and the US is close to the top.
Taking the same attitude:
No wonder China wants to see the source code -- the million monkeys making it in the US are all malware producers.

You said malware; I said zero-day exploits. Those two things are not synonymous.
Cyber-warfare is a publicly stated priority of the PLA.
