Someone should point out to them that the ship of trust has sailed, and the trip back is all uphill.

Does it mean that if I deactivate all that fency settings... MS won't collect any data from me?
It would be nice... but I really doubt it.

Samsung's Tizen platform might give the company the technological independence it wouldn't have if it stuck to outside software like Android, but it's apparently a security disaster Because just blowing up seemed like they weren't trying hard enough

Microsoft is taking its Advanced Threat Protection Safe Links feature, which prevents end users from unwittingly clicking on malicious links, and incorporating it into Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Better late than never?

Well, yeah, that's good now....

Unless I'm missing something it doesn't appear to be for all versions.
Just another excuse for them to try and push people to the new platform.

A company choosing to add new features to the current version of applications only? How shocking. /sarcasm
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?

So they will real-time upload every document and e-mail you work on to their servers, analyse every word in them, and sell the content to whoever will pay for it check them for naughty links?
I think I'll pass on that "feature", thanks.

Now 20 years since launching from Earth, and after 13 years orbiting the ringed planet, Cassini is running low on fuel. In 2010, NASA decided to end the mission with a purposeful plunge into Saturn this year in order to protect and preserve the planet's moons for future exploration—especially the potentially habitable Enceladus. "Now cracks a noble heart. Goodnight, sweet prince; And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest."

So, instead of doing something useful, like flying it past a moon, they're just going to crash it into a gas giant?
What an eminently scientific course of action to take.
I'd prefer less GTA, and more Physics.

The Kotlin/Native compiler, currently in development, generates platform-native binaries from Kotlin code and is interoperable with C functions. Is it time to pick up another language?

The web's creator has attacked any UK plans to weaken encryption and promised to battle any moves by the Trump administration to weaken net neutrality. Sure, but what's he invented lately?

Only problem I see... he will be ignored as everyone else

The company offers to implant its workers and startup members with microchips the size of grains of rice that function as swipe cards: to open doors, operate printers, or buy smoothies with a wave of the hand. What a revelation! In case they get lost, they can be returned to their rightful owner

"Look boss, subject #42 is trying to open lots of doors really fast before going to bed..."
"I don't think he's opening doors, Igor."
"Ohmygodno! "
Anyway, used for pets and now also employees.
Because manually opening doors really is the bane of my existence...

So, what happens when you leave the company?
Option 1: They remove the microchip.
Option 2: They leave it in and update their servers to deny access.
With option 1, the phrase "scarred for life" takes on a whole new meaning!
With option 2, and with a dozen job changes over a lifetime, you could have quite a few of these things stuck in your arm by the time you retire!

Typical over-engineering by a dev with his head far too far into it.
