In the beginning there was a simply acronym: MTTI (mean time to innocence). Weary after years of costly and time-consuming war room battles, IT organizations turned to AppDynamics to give an objective application-level view of production incidents. As a result, application issues are swiftly pinpointed and fixed, accelerating time to repair by up to 90%.
In fact, gravitation towards fact-based constructive issue management spawned a whole new movement – DevOps – with the goal of ingraining this maturity and cooperative spirit into IT organizations from the ground up. The movement was discussed by Jim in a previous blog post. Of course, AppDynamics (or at least, easily accessible fact-based information about application behaviour in production) is a necessary prerequisite to this.
Looking back, before DevOps or even MTTI were topical buzzwords, this basic ability to foster communication between teams proved to be an invaluable benefit to the more drab and well-worn business realities of offshoring and outsourcing.
This blog reviews three real-life examples of this:
- Managing external offshore development organizations
- Facilitating near shore development teams
- Bringing external developments in-house
Managing external offshore development organizations
Some months ago, I did some work with a then prospect who had started a self-service trial of AppDynamics.
When I spoke to them, they were delighted with the visibility that AppDynamics provided out of the box for their .NET application, a SaaS Learning Management System.
Digging into what had sparked their interest in AppDynamics, they told me they had commissioned an outside development firm to rewrite their flagship application, which was somewhat dated and not architecturally fit to support some newer services the business wanted to offer to customers.
The good news was the new version of the app was live, and supporting around 10% of their existing customer base. The bad news? This 10% used the same hardware footprint as the remaining 90% on the old system. Extrapolating this hardware requirement for the entire user base would not only require a new datacentre, but also entirely break the business model for the application from an operational cost perspective (not the first time that hardware savings alone could pay for AppDynamics!)
For months prior to trying AppDynamics, the external developers had been under huge pressure to optimize the application footprint (and some pretty lackluster performance too). Armed with only windows performance counters and intuition, weeks had been spent optimizing slow database queries, which only turned out to be 5% of the errant response times at a transaction level.
Having put AppDynamics in place, the prospect
- Easily found specific application bottlenecks, allowing them to focus developers on high-impact remediation
- Could verify the developers had made the required improvements with each new release
Clearly, huge benefits at a technical level.
At a higher level, this helped lead to a more constructive relationship between the development shop and their customer – moving things away from the edge of litigation, constant finger-pointing, and blame shifting.
Facilitating near shore development teams
Another group I have worked with recently are responsible for a settlement system within a large global investment bank based in London. The system is developed in-house, and typical with most financial services institutions, the actual development team itself is located 'near-shore' in Eastern Europe to cut costs. The development processes are Agile, with new releases every few weeks.
Inevitably, with new releases can come new production issues and – of course – the best people to deal with these during the "bedding in" period are the developers themselves.
Another thing that is very common in the financial services industry is regulation, and this poses a problem in this scenario. Nobody is permitted to directly access the production systems from outside the UK due to data privacy regulations.
This means hands-on troubleshooting must be left to the on-shore architect staff who are not only expensive, but are not as well-equipped as the developers themselves to dig in to the issues in new code.
Enter AppDynamics. Our agents deployed in production made all the performance data readily available to anyone with the appropriate credentials, but – critically – having access to this does not expose ANY business data from the production system. Now, the near-shore development team can look directly at the non-functional behavior of their code in production, eliminating the time spent gathering sufficient log data to enable reproduction of issues in test environments. Bingo, the business case for the AppDynamics purchase is made!
There is an interesting side note to this, which applies much more widely too. Many customers have observed an "organic" improvement in service levels once AppDynamics is installed in production. For the first time, developers can see how their code is actually working in the wild. Developer pride kicks in and suddenly non-functional stories are added to development backlogs to fix latent issues that get observed, which would have previously have gone unnoticed.
Bringing external developments in-house
Of course, as we all know the only constant in life is change, so no outsource is a one-way journey. As a result, I have come across several organizations that are now working on projects which were previously outsourced. Of course, once these customers have completed the initial challenge of recruiting a new development team they then need to get their arms around the existing codebase. Usually handover workshops can help with this, but in many cases these systems have been out- and in- sourced several times, with many changes of personnel along the way. There is only so much you can distill onto a whiteboard in a brain dump session, however long and well-intentioned.
It is here where the high-level visibility that AppDynamics provides can be invaluable. Out of the box, AppDynamics instruments previously unseen systems, automatically detecting and following transactions and draws up flow-maps. The end-to-end visibility of the entire system greatly eases the process. In fact, this system overview (and the ability to view how it changes over time) has proved invaluable for many customers for a number of reasons beyond whole-scale in (or out) sourcing, such as onboarding new team members, verifying compliance with architectural governance of externally developed code changes and so forth.
In summary, AppDynamics does not have to be all about troubleshooting and MTTI. Nor even necessarily about DevOps and brave new worlds. The easily configured deep insight that we provide into the dynamic behavior of your applications has many uses – and business cases – beyond the traditional MTTI/MTTR domain. APM is, after all, just one use-case (albeit an important one) for our Application Intelligence Platform.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons. In the IoT vision, every new "thing" - sensor, actuator, data source, data con...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Wednesday, September 4, 2013
Xbox One, Microsoft's newest video game console, will be available in stores on Nov. 22. The Xbox One will cost $499.99 and is available for pre-order at the Microsoft store and other retailers.
Yusuf Mehdi, the Vice President of Marketing, Strategy, and Business for Xbox, wrote a post on Xbox's blog Wednesday making the announcement. In addition to the release date, Mehdi added that the Xbox One CPU's processing power will be increased to 1.75 GHz, a 10 percent increase from its original specs.
The CPU speed of the Sony PlayStation 4, Microsoft's chief rival in the latest iteration of the console wars, has not yet been specified. However, there have been rumors that it could be upwards to about 2.75 GHz, though that has not been confirmed by Sony itself.
Many video gamers felt betrayed by Microsoft, given that the Xbox One seems to be more of a media center to watch TV and movies than it is to play games. Microsoft itself came under fire when they dodged questions around playing second-hand games and daily Internet check-ins.
While Microsoft has since reversed those decisions, it still costs more than the PlayStation 4 by $100. However, the $500 price tag includes a Kinect motion tracking setup while the PlayStation 4's camera is sold separately from the system.
The Xbox One has been seen largely as an attempt to get more people interested in the console at the expense of being seen primarily as a gaming machine. Mehdi said he wants to try and make amends for that. "We built Xbox One to bring you the best games," he wrote. "And November 22 is a special day in Xbox history -- on this day, we first launched Xbox 360 in 2005."

ManTech International has landed a role on a $500 million multiple-award vehicle, through which the Army Corps of Engineers will provide electronic security systems to Army bases and other government facilities.
In January, The Army Corps of Engineers' Engineering and Support Center announced the award of 10 indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contracts to a mix of large and small businesses.
LVW Electronics, a veteran-owned small business based in Colorado Springs, Co., was one of the awardees. Now it has chosen ManTech as a subcontractor, a deal that could earn ManTech $10 million during five years.
Under the pact, ManTech will help LVW develop and maintain electronic security systems, including intrusion detection sensors, closed-circuit television, access-control systems, and command and control systems.
The other recipients of the prime contracts are: Cirrus Technology; SEI Group; Government Technical Services; Johnson Controls Building Systems; Infotec Systems; Infotec Systems (small business); Northrop Grumman Technical Services; Siemens Government Services; and Williams Electric Company.
Services under the contracts include development of equipment installation engineering plans, hardware and software provisioning, system checking, and interfacing with and installing new data transmission equipment, according to the Army Corps of Engineers. Work will be performed within the continental U.S. and overseas on a task-order basis.

Convert Larry Donnell to wide receiver, better receiver than blocking tight end,

Type: Posts; User: decisco618
Convert Larry Donnell to wide receiver, better receiver than blocking tight end,
play Daniel Fells for blocking alternate with A Robinson.
ok i accept your explanation, How do you think we will do this season??
What would you call them//
Why did Tom play Eli and Beatty in two meanless games???
Why did Tom exposed A Robinson to injury by insisting he play on special teams??
Why did we not pick Zach Martin???
Hope Mosley is ready.
IN the big game who would you rather have???
he is way past 30
Injury prone played very little
1. This draft is very deep indeed so no need to invest this early in offensive lineman. Skill position at either WR Evans to replace Nicks or TE Ebron, who wants to play here and be part of Ben...
Tuck wants to stay, where can you get endorsement like NY, he's making noise to renegotiate his contract.
Lewan or Ebron at this point the Giants pick Joe Palooka from Boston College.
I agree with your assessment, Larry Donnell making progress, according to Jphn Smelk
Save the money for Tuck and Joseph
Would not like to see this talented young man wearing a Redskin uniform, like Barry Colfield, whats the point of developing a talented player and let him
leave. What if Hankins get injured.
No more injured veteran players, please, big names do not necessarily mean big returns.
Our coach had the idea that you have to play on special teams before you can play your position, this is so you can be injured again.
another injured vet??????
Please no projects
Complete rebuild could take 5 years
Had very good things to say about Donnell, Ben McAdoo likes to evaluate tight ends he just the man to see if Donnell has anything to contribute,
he is developmental.
my take on these players
Ruben Randle - Big play capability, inconsistent, sure hands, not a good option for punt returner no explosion after catch. Would benefit from simpler playbook.
Streaky player.
Michael Cox-...
The Cowboys seem to draft well, so does Philly and Seattle, so whats going on here???
With the emergence of Larry Donnell and a Healthy Adrian Robinson employed in a two tight end scheme that Ben MacAdoo likes to utilized, just where does Brandon Meyers fit in?
Have we not have our fill of injury prone vets????

Wii RPG of the Year - Nothing!
Considering that Nintendo's current console is little more than an electronic family board game, pretty much all of its games are either shovelware or are tailored to the mass market. This extends to its RPGs as well, with Tales of Symphonia being the former and Chocobo's Dungeon and My Life as a King being the latter. Whatever the case, the games that fall into those two criteria consistently lack anything that the core gamer will enjoy. Whether it's challenge (Chocobo's Dungeon) or quality (Symphonia), Wii games always fail to deliver in key aspects. So instead of choosing the cream of the crap, we've instead chosen to deny the award to ANY Wii RPG at all.

Before and Now: The Chronicles of Ral'Rae KreenChapter One
The room was dark and silent. A feminine form was standing in front of the only window of the place enjoying a smoke, her naked body being highlighted by the few moon rays sneaking inside. Her skin, its colour similar to that of a mature peach, was glistening, sweat sliding down her forehead and neck, twin lekku resting on her shoulders. There was no doubt the woman was a twi'lek, and not of the common sort. She was a Lethan.
She finished her smoke and wiped the sweat off on the back of her palm. The heat was unbearable this time of year on Tatooine. She walked to the side of the bed and picked her clothes from the floor, reaching for her datapad.
Dear uncle Nawara,
thought I should let you know I got married tonight!
Now before you spit out your dentures, Passki (funky name, huh?) is everything I dreamed of. Happy for me?
You can always contact me when you feel lonely, there's always room for one more old goat, ha, ha! More news soon,
Love, Ral'Rae.
She turne
Eloia and IlenrionThe melodious chime of brass bells echoed in the great hall of the library, travelling through the dusty aisles to where Eloia was. She raised her head from the pages of the book she was shuffling in her hands and turned her eyes towards the sound of footsteps approaching.
There were times that she would spend days wondering inside the majestic library of Orinthal, reading excerpts from the ancient tomes of Encyclopedia of the Old Kingdoms while keeping notes, the volume of the latter quickly becoming a tome of their own. The other librarians had been instructed not to interrupt the sage while she was studying. Noone was allowed to interrupt her besides King Ellaren the Third of Maraelis.
The footing on the marble stones of the library was extremely light, barely making any noise. Advancing as it was, the sound stopped abruptly a few paces down the wide corridor, close to the fine-carved wooden archway connecting the two aisles. A head, covered with scruffy wavy hair the colour

An Ohio developer will build a $17.7 million, 124-unit senior affordable housing community in far south Fort Worth near Burleson.
The Miller-Valentine Group of Dayton, Ohio, plans The Reserve at McAlister senior living community on 7.5 acres north of McAlister Road, between Hemphill Street and Interstate 35W.
The company was expecting to close on a loan July 31, a company officer confirmed to the Business Press after a July 24 presentation to the Fort Worth Housing Authority board. The project, which will include 22 rental assistance units, is being facilitated by a package of federal low income housing tax credits plus $2.3 million in Fort Worth Housing Authority funds over 15 years.
Brian Dennison, the housing authority's vice president of development and asset management, said in an interview that the housing authority has a list of "18,000-plus" people in need of affordable housing. "And the list grows every day," he said. "All phones ring all day. There's tremendous need."
Miller-Valentine executives were not available for a longer interview on the property.
The property will include 112 income-restricted apartments and 12 market-rate units, according to documents the company filed with the housing authority.
The development will include one residential building with one- and two-bedroom apartments, as well as a clubhouse, leasing office and "common amenities," according to the documents.
Miller-Valentine still must apply to the federal government for the rental assistance units. If the government does not grant them, the housing authority has committed to making a loan to the development instead.
The project will likely open within a year from the close of financing, Dennison said.

... within the maze and get out of the maze in the quickest time. We managed 13 minutes and were extremely proud of ourselves when we received marbles as our prize.
The cattle drive was a bit of a letdown though, as it's very staged with a small herd of cattle being released from the pen on the one end and walked by the cowboys back through the roads to the other end. Besides a photo op I'm not sure it played much purpose.

Magnet Conference in summary
So the Magnet conference has been very inspiring, I have learnt a lot about a lot, and being able to network with other nurses just as energetic and excited and as passionate as me has been so valueable. I've loved chatting with them and hearing their stories, I've made some promising connections for later on in my trip that I am definitely going to ensure I follow through. There were 8000+ nurses all in one convention centre. England just doesn't do nursing conferences like ...

IBM and Ericsson plot to deploy 5G. Never mind that it doesn't exist
While we wait for 5G, how about some REAL 4G?! Hmm?
"4G" is abused rhetoric for high end 3G. There is NO REAL 4G available on the planet right now. Why that is the case is beyond my comprehension. But that is the state of affairs. It's a finished protocol with available hardware for deployment, but NOBODY bothers. Instead we're stuck with this foisted fake term called "4G" (and hilariously, even "4.5G") that is NOT 4G. It's just an 'approved' marketing term for improved 3G. Only a marketing moron could make sense of this state of affairs.
If you'd like to learn what REAL 4G is supposed to be all about, below are a couple resources. Watch for the term 'LTE Advanced':

iPhone sales set to PLUMMET: Bleak times ahead for Apple
Why Are Apple DOOM Analysts Worth Quoting?
Beats me! Here we go yet again.
Apple DOOM rhetoric has been so prolific over the course of time that there's even a dedicated documentation web page. Enjoy and laugh:

Yet more NSA officials whisper of an internal revolt over US spying. And yet it still goes on
Who needs a new 'law' when it's already written into the US CONSTITUTION?!
"...the US Senate killed off a proposed law that would have restricted some of the NSA's intelligence gathering on Americans"
This was a total BS congressional manoeuvre that is entirely irrelevant. Here's why:
The Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution:
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
IOW: All Congress did was admit that they're constitutional ILLITERATES. The NSA's broad collection of US citizen data within the USA is unconstitutional. What the US Congress is supposed to do in response is SHUT DOWN the NSA's unconstitutional behavior. That requires NO new law.
Worthless US Congress, Red or Blue.
'Chinese hackers' pop US weather bureau, flatten forecast feeds
Yeah but, this is a RE-hacking
After 9 years of every US federal Windows box exposed to the Internet being hacked by the Chinese, the feds finally admitted what had happened in 2007. This is NOT the first time NOAA has been hacked. I doubt it will be the last. #MyStupidGovernment in action.
FCC to Obama on net neutrality: We work for CONGRESS, SIR, not YOU

The Fourth Amendment To The US Constitution
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

Hide your Macs, iPhones and iPads: WireLurker nasty 'heralds new era'
Apple Kicks Butt...
Setting aside all the searing 'PAIN'...
Apple kicked this malware in the bunghole in a HURRAY, yeah! After Palo Alto Networks had announced their discovery, Apple's turnaround time to block the malware was < 24 hours.
BTW: Palo Alto Networks' free WireLurker Detector is available at the link below. It runs in the Terminal.
Former Apple chief John Sculley says Steve Jobs 'never forgave him'
...Yeah, but Steve Jobs Learned An Important Lesson
Q: Did Steve Jobs every forgive HIMSELF for hiring John Sculley?
A: If Jobs never forgave Sculley, then apparently NO.
The lesson:
Never, ever let marketing executives (aka John Sculleys) run your company if you want your company to be CREATIVE. Marketing-As-Management is death to any company that ever hopes to create anything new ever again. - Witness Kodak. - Witness Sony at this very moment.
What's the problem? Relational personalities (aka marketing folks) never tolerate Productive personalities. They'd rather kill them than suffer them to live. If you're bent on invention, innovation and bulldozing positive change at your company, the Marketing executives have a target on your back. It's one of the saddest and most discordant songs in history.
Apple OSX Yosemite infested by nasty 'Rootpipe' vuln

US Senate's net neutrality warrior to Comcast: Remind us how much you hate web fast lanes
Thank you Senator Leahy, but...
... I'd rather see Comcast put out of business and broken up into smaller pieces, sold off to younger, hungrier, sane businesses that know how to treat their customers with respect. There is such a thing is too abusive to not FAIL. I'm all for We The People throwing such companies out of business for the sake of the betterment of every citizen. Comcast isn't a capitalist company. They're a parasite biznizz.
Ex-US Navy fighter pilot MIT prof: Drones beat humans - I should know
Much as I appreciate using drones for recognizance...
... It is a terrible precedent to set for the future using drones as a coward's murder machine. Separate the human from the battle by way of machine and all humanity is gone from the debacle. It's cold, heartless, cowardly murder. When the soldier has nothing at stake, isn't in danger themselves, just sits back and has the machine do it, they are lost to humanity. This is sick stuff.
Symantec's already virtually split, says letter to suppliers
Symantec: Please Virtually Go Bankrupt and Virtually Disappear Forever
I'm sick of the endless Symantec bad attitude toward everyone but itself. I'm sick of people being burned by their shoddy (IMHO) software and abusive, desperate marketing strategies. They've engulfed and eradicated or ruined countless superior competitor products, denigrating the computer community with their anti-competitive behavior. Just end it all Symantec and put us out of your misery. (IMHO of course).
Give it up and let someone better than you fill in the niche.

TPP: The People are Peasants
I'm sick to death of this Corporate Oligarchy BS, attempting to RULE THE WORLD (bwahahaha!) via their self-destructive, 'WE HATE OUR CUSTOMERS' legal garbage being shoved down the throats of citizen's governments around the planet.
This is nothing more than ACTA, CISPA, SOPA, PIPA customer abuse on a PLANETARY SCALE.
To hell with ANY company that backs this horrific, ABUSIVE world treaty. Expect the usual, reflexive retribution from We The People for your crimes against us.

Prez Obama backs net neutrality – but can't do anything about it. Thanks, Obama
Re: Let the White House Shoggoth stroke its Nobel Peace Prize in peace!
I entirely agree about the shoveling, the puppetry, the having been bought and sold, the hypocrisy.
But I constantly laugh and laugh at the stories of the constantly vacationing and golfing Obama. Why? Because rotten old George W. Bush was easily just as absent, off playing at this and that rather than doing his job. The Republicans have NOTHING better to add to this mess of worthless, owned, citizen despising politicians. Both parties are equally rotted to the core and require demolition. It's the bizinizziz that wreck, ruin and run the show.
Assign an Anti-Net Neutrality FCC Chairman, Then Cheer Net Neutrality!

Nvidia's screaming new Maxwell GPUs bring 4K gaming to notebooks
So anyone cares about 4K gaming Because WHY?!
4K televisions are themselves a ridiculous concept, unless you're stinking rich and project movies onto an over-large screen for your multitude of party guests.
4K and 8K are specifically PROFESSIONAL resolutions used for making projected movies. That's it. That's what they're for. No consumer should care a rat's about 4K, ever.
Why anyone would want to bother with the massive bandwidth overhead of 4K on any kind of home device is beyond comprehension. You've been MARKETED INTO STUPIDITY if you're bothering with 4K outside of professional uses.
∑ = If you can see the added pixels, you're beyond your needs.
Countless Belkin routers go TITSUP in massive mystery meltdown
Was this a Bash bug attack on Belkin routers?
Probably not. But we're going to be hearing a lot about PWNed routers in the very near future because they're susceptible to the Bash bugs and haven't been patched.
It's time we had a public list of susceptible routers and users yelling at their manufactures as to why there isn't already a firmware update out to kill the Bash bugs.
In the meantime: Go into the settings for your router and turn OFF logging into the router from the Internet, unless of course you require that feature. That single setting change may save your router while we wait for the complete solution to the Bash bug mess.

PEAK APPLE: iOS 8 SHUNNED by refusenik fanbois
Here's Why:
The outrageously bungles iOS 8.0.1 update that DAMAGED iPhone functionality, a thoroughly unforgivable blunder. It was pure 'Version 1.0 Effect' gone mad. Then 8.0.2 came out to grumbles.
So what cures 'Version 1.0 Effect'? Version 1.1. I entirely expect and adoption of iOS 8 to go back on the rampage once iOS 8.1 is released, after Apple boots out the morons who allowed 8.0.1 to happen. And Apple will.

Apple finally patches Bash Shellshock vuln that WAS NOT A WORRY, OK?
"FINALLY!" <-Snarled 5 Year Old. Some more objective information:
Setting aside the childish headline...
There are currently 6 known and listed Bash CVEs. That number will probably increase tomorrow. (CVE stands for Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures. Each CVE describes a specific security flaw found in public software). The APPLE-SA-2014-09-29-1 OS X bash Update 1.0 patched TWO of those six. Three further CVEs have been provided with descriptions at NIST (the USA National Institute of Standards and Technology), indicating that patches have been coded and are forthcoming. One CVE remains undescribed and unlisted at NIST, indicating that no patch has as yet been coded.
I'll be keeping track of the Bash CVEs and Apple's patchfest at my Mac-Security blog. I promise not to be TOO childish. (o_O)

Sony says year's losses will be FOUR TIMES DEEPER than thought
The Horror Of Marketing-As-Management
Dear Sony,
A free clue: FIRE the marketing guy CEO ruining your company ASAP. Never, ever put a marketing executive in charge of your company again.
Dear Rest Of The World,
Watch what's happening to Sony right now. This proves once again that growing, thriving organizations require entrepreneurial leaders. If you want to kill your organization, by all means put a marketing executive in charge.
My credentials? I worked at Eastman Kodak while Marketing-As-Management destroyed the company. This problem has been proven to be universal in business throughout history. Here's the lesson. Learn.
PLEASE STOP with the snooping requests, begs Google as gov data demands skyrocket
In the USA, quote the Fourth Amendment then DEMAND a warrant first
He also sprinkled his blog post with a heavy-on-the-salt bit of lobbying by calling on Congress to update the Electronic Communications Privacy Act to clarify that search warrants must be obtained before a service provider's user data is sifted through by spooks.
If requested user data is relevant to US citizens within the USA, then the Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution holds. It REQUIRES a search warrant. No exceptions. Even the 'it's only metadata' rubbish is no excuse for no warrant. Take the issue to court, if the spooks insist upon traitorous behavior!
The only way US citizens on US soil can have their data slurped would be if data is legally collected from someone outside the USA with whom they've communicated. In that case, the spooks would NOT be asking for data from the US citizen, only gathering data relevant to the person outside the USA.
I'm sick of We The People in the USA being treated as idiots regarding our own Constitution by treasonous US spooks and their overlords.

Bonking with Apple has POUNDED mobe operators' wallets
Pay iOS Devices Don't 'Bonk'
Unlike the dopey first generation RFC cards, there's no 'bonking' with Pay iOS Devices. You put the device in proximity to the RF field and push a button on the device. All done. On the iPhone you push the fingerprint sensor. On the Watch, if you've entered your PIN, you press on the watch face.
It will be a happy day when the cruddy, insecure first generation of RFC chips is dead and gone.

The Good Stuff Is Encrypted, So Bite Me Surveillance State
I hope the NSA has a nice snooze over the boring research and documentation stuff I store at sycophantic DropBox. The good stuff is encrypted with only my memory knowing the key. Fork over a REAL warrant, then I'll let you take a look. Until then, it's Fourth Amendment time, NSA and Surveillance State pals!
Oh and bring along some coffee for reading through my encrypted stuff as well. Totally dull and innocuous, reading and analytical processing time that's a total waste of tax payer's money, like most of the crud you traitors unconstitutionally rip from We The People.
#MyStupidGovernment in self-destruct mode. (o_O)
Everyone taking part in Patch Tuesday step forward. NOT SO FAST, Adobe!
Good For Adobe Pushing Back The Update. Bad for Adobe, Microsoft...
The only sane, responsible and professional method of updating insecure software is ASAP UPDATING. That's what I call it. This concept of 'Second Tuesday' updating, or any set schedule of updating is 100% ridiculous and indefensible. I've heard outrageous defense of scheduled updating from outrageous people. They're consistently faulty in their bent out of shape assertions.
That Adobe delayed the Acrobat & Reader updates is excellent. Release them when they're ready. But also keep in mind that holding back security updates is plain old insane.
Please chatter away attempting to defend the sacred Tuesdays, but I'll just be laughing in response.
15 MEEELLION malware-infested mobiles worldwide – report
Re: Hey, Kevin McNamee, you claim:
"Network based anti-virus embedded on an operator's network cannot be disabled by cybercriminals, is always on and up to date."
The most famous case of this being totally wrong is that Target POS malware catastrophe of December 2013. The network anti-malware [the correct term, not 'anti-virus'] was in place, working, and found the infecting malware on two occasions. But human behavior within the corporation dictated doing nothing about it. Thus were 110 million customer accounts stolen. Big deal if you have the anti-malware installed and up-to-date. You have to RESPOND.
Verizon hit with $7.4 MEEELLION fine for slurping users' privates
Verizon is making damned sure everyone knows they hate their customers
A few recent Verizon headlines:
"How Verizon lets its copper network decay to force phone customers onto fiber"
"Verizon caught throttling Netflix traffic even after its pays for more bandwidth"
"Verizon led massive astroturf campaign to end NJ broadband obligation"
"Verizon will miss deadline to wire all of New York City with FiOS"
"Verizon: We throttle unlimited data to provide an "incentive to limit usage""
Why are you in business Verizon? If you hate your customers so much, sell yourself off to smaller, hungrier companies who are EAGER to treat their customers with the RESPECT they deserve.
Too slow with that iPhone refresh, Apple: Android is GOBBLING up US mobile market
Seeing as Android is a (1) malware magnet (2) blatant iOS ripoff (3) fragmented mess…
I feel only pity for those who go the route of Android. We each are given choice as our great gift in life. If we squander our choices, we have only ourselves to blame.
This is one bad choice that anyone can change.
Kaspersky backpedals on 'done nothing wrong, nothing to fear' blather
Thank you Kaspersky for withdrawing STUNNING stupidity.
'Done nothing wrong, nothing to fear' is classic disrespect for human rights, found in every totalitarian and repressive regime. I've had to post this quote quite a lot over the last few years, including pre-Snowden:

This is just more irresponsible clown science that takes NO responsibility for its consequences. We're going to hear a lot about bozo science in the coming years. This example of Short Term Thinking, Long Term Disaster has to be an historical marker for a clear beginning of The Era Of Bad Science, what I also call The Age Of Trivia.
Or to put it another way: We have issues of human and planetary survival at hand. So let's ruin the oceans some more, yahoo. Gawd, we can be stupid, we self-named Homo sapiens sapiens.
All those new '5G standards'? Here's the science they rely on
So where's REAL 4G already? Nowhere.
Thanks to Marketing-Speak, high end 3G (LTE) is called '4G' to the public's face. Meanwhile, referring to the REAL 4G standard, I'm unaware of anywhere in the WORLD offering actual 4G. Once we have what's formally called LTE Advanced, we'll have real 4G.
Meanwhile, I've been seeing ridiculous references to '4.5G', which of course also doesn't exist IRL. And now we have a proposed 5G standard. Excellent! But first we have to get the Cheap, Lazy, Stupid mobile phone service providers to upgrade to REAL 4G. So what's the hold up?!
So, Apple won't sell cheap kit? Prepare the iOS garden wall WRECKING BALL
Who Innovates In The Cell Phone Business?
Just Apple. Others follow, with cheap knockoffs.
And thank you Apple for keeping UP the garden wall. I want no part of the rat's nest that is Android security OR the swamp that is fragmandroid. It's great to NOT have to go there.
Meanwhile, arm chair analcysts persist in their inner world echo chambers that amount to sleep inducing brown noise.
Snowden leaks show that terrorists are JUST LIKE US
"So Don't Do That Again!"
Clearly, the point of this propaganda barrage against Snowden and other leakers is:
1) Just another diversionary tactic to avoid the fact that the NSA ad nauseam committed crimes against the US Constitution and We The People.
2) To instill FUD against future whistleblowing, inferring that ripping the masks off government crimes might lead to successful Muslim extremist crimes against We The People.
The NSA is now a criminal organization bent on deceiving We The People who allow them to exist. They are themselves acting as TERRORISTS, using terror to push their criminal ends onto we the good people of the USA and the rest of the world. It's time to BREAK UP THE NSA and start again!
We must REFUSE to allow the USA to become even more deeply a CRIMINAL NATION. These crimes, in and of themselves, are the greatest threat to the USA. They are internal. They are our killing disease. Who needs external terrorists when we are our own?

Google leaves STUPID vuln on Nest devices
Until There is A Verified Security Standard For TIOT…
… Lock down your networkable gadget and keep it OFF the Internet. Thousands of TIOT gadgets have already been botted and implicated in DDOS bot attacks, spam spewing, etc.
IOW: Do Not Expect TIOT devices to have viable security at this time. Instead, expect them to be hacked, bottted, zombied, surveilled and generally unsafe if networked.
Now even Internet Explorer will throw lousy old Java into the abyss

… I'm extremely surprised Microsoft didn't take a dump on Java in IE years ago!
For newbies, some background: See the section 'Sun's litigation against Microsoft" in the following article:
BTW: Some surprising Java news this week: Oracle has now begun babysitting Java on the Internet by deactivating it's JRE at the time of any new security update, or after a pre-configured time period. Profoundly embarrassing to stupid Oracle, but a necessary step seeing as Oracle destroyed Java sandboxing, the fools.

Steve Blackman
Real Name
Steve Blackman
Date of Birth
September 28, 1963
Place of Birth
Stephanie McMahon and Triple H have revealed a bit of news about the WWE Network that might help the company secure more subscribers. The real life couple stated that episodes of WCW Nitro are being added to the online service. There is a good amount of people who have been hesitant to sign up for the WWE Network because it lacked the full archive of former television shows.
August 6, 2014
Another person that has been hurt by the recent crash of the WWE stock is Steve Blackman. He was in talks with the company for a brand new show on the WWE Network, where the former hardcore champion would be showing off his new career as a bounty hunter. Unfortunately, though, Vince McMahon has placed a hold on all new series due to budget cuts.
July 7, 2014
A familiar face made an appearance backstage at the Smackdown taping this week. Steve Blackman, who has been rumored for a brand new show on WWE Network, was visiting with friends in Pennsylvania, where he lives. The belief is that he spent some time talking briefly with management about hosting his own show, which is rumored to focus around Blackman as a bounty hunter.
April 23, 2014
Now that the WWE Network has been launched, management has been looking into ideas for some new content for the service. One of the ideas being discussed is doing a reality television show based around Steve Blackman, who is now a bounty hunter in Pennsylvania. The series would follow the former WWE star and his team as they hunt down people.
March 22, 2014
