the article fails to mention anything about why or what motivates the move, or where the workers who stay with the company are relocating to.

It says pretty clearly that 600 are getting laid off-- that has to be all or most at that site

on Aug 10, 2007 at 1:14 pm
"Alza will have no presence in Mountain View after next year," said Nancy Noe, government relations director.
Plus, other stories in mainstream media and finance pages have talked about J&J laying off folks and/or sending them to Florida for some time now.

HULK DDoS-from-one-computer is easily thwarted, say security pros
Security experts are downplaying the significance of a new denial-of-service (DoS) attack tool. The HTTP Unbearable Load King (HULK) program was developed by a white-hat network security researcher, who shared it on his blog as a proof-of-concept demonstration of how to effortlessly knock over web servers. Nonetheless there is …
Acronyms PAH!
Acronyms make me angry, here are a few that make me less angry.
Cannon Utility Network Trauma
Wide Access Network Kaboomer
Force uniformed Collision Kontroller
Penetrate Entry Nodes Internet Server
Doesn't that make it a plain old DoS attack?
Unless bits of that computer are sat round the room linked by long wires...
Re: "DDoS-from-one-computer"
To be fair on Shteiman, his original blog post calls it a DoS tool. It is everyone else commenting and reporting on it who seems to have forgotten that the second D means "distributed", presumably because DDoS is still such a hot buzzphrase that they felt the need to use it without really thinking it through.
"Barry Shteiman, the developer of the HULK python script..."
Someone tell me I wasn't the only one to have to check I hadn't misread the name (I had...)
Surely all you have to do is start ignoring requests from a specific IP address if there's too many of them?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA this is absolutely hilarious and about 20 years too late to be anything new! Holy crap why is anyone even reporting on it? All it does is generate random gets... look at it... it's absolutely pathetic and shouldn't have been reported on by anyone.
I just ran this against an Apache installation locally and I can still bring up web pages with cache disabled without any delay. Epic FAIL.
Having read the HULK author's blog a couple of weeks ago, he already stated that it was easy to recognise HULK's attacks because they come in a specific order. He also went on to say that he developed THOR which recognises and nullifies HULK. What research did Prolexic do more-so than just reading the blog about HULK and THOR? Did they even get down to the THOR part? Doesn't sound like it.
re: THOR
My bad, wasn't the author of HULK that wrote / reviewed THOR. That comparison blog is here:
Still, the above blog post is a couple of weeks old...

All the latest Apple news, featuring developments on the iPhone, iPad, Macbooks, OS X and much more.
CNET editors choose and review the best thin and light laptops, notebooks, and ultrabooks.
If you own a MacBook Air from the past couple of years there's really no need to upgrade, but a small spec bump and minor price cut make the most-current Air even more attractive.
Apple skips 4K and goes directly to what the company calls a 5K display in this expensive, extravagant all-in-one iMac desktop that will appeal to photo and video professionals -- or anyone else looking for the best possible screen resolution.
Apple's 11-inch Air gets a CPU speed bump and a decent price cut over the already excellent 2013 version. If you have a recent model there's no need to upgrade, but for anyone else, it's now a better deal than ever.
Intel Mac users will like Snow Leopard's smartly designed interface enhancements, and its Exchange support is a must-have (especially with Outlook for Mac on the way). With a ton of technological improvements, Snow Leopard is worth the $29 upgrade fee.
Released with Mac OS X Yosemite, iTunes 12 gets some small interface changes that make your music, movies, and other content easier to navigate.
Pricing not available
The slimmer body and higher-res screen of the original Retina MacBook Pro were a revolutionary leap. This revamp adds modest internal upgrades for modest improvements, but price cuts to both the 13-inch and 15-inch models sweeten the deal.
With or without its new Fusion hybrid drive, Apple finally has a Mac Mini that competes well against mainstream Windows PCs in the same price range.
Apple's updates help protect Leopard users from Java and Flash-based attacks.
Apple's upcoming Photos app and iCloud Photo Library promises to put all your iOS photos on all your devices, as well as offering some handy ways to pretty them up.

Product description
Bestselling author Rob Bell returns with a provocative new book which gets to the heart of questions about life and death. His perspective, encapsulated by his famous slogan 'love wins,, will surprise and challenge both Christians and atheists, and will inspire people of all faiths and none. Millions of Christians have struggled with how to reconcile God's love and God's judgement: Has God created billions of people over thousands of years only to select a few to go to heaven and everyone else to suffer forever in hell? Is this acceptable to God? How is this "good news"? Troubling questions-so troubling that many have lost their faith because of them. Others only whisper the questions to themselves, fearing or being taught that they might lose their faith and their church if they ask them out loud. But what if these questions trouble us for good reason? What if the story of heaven and hell we have been taught is not, in fact, what the Bible teaches? What if what Jesus meant by heaven, hell, and salvation are very different from how we have come to understand them? What if it is God who wants us to face these questions? Author, pastor, and innovative teacher Rob Bell presents a deeply biblical vision for rediscovering a richer, grander, truer, and more spiritually satisfying way of understanding heaven, hell, God, Jesus, salvation, and repentance. The result is the discovery that the "good news" is much, much better than we ever imagined. Love wins.

Review quote
"It isn,t easy to develop a biblical imagination that takes in the comprehensive and eternal work of Christ... Rob Bell goes a long way in helping us acquire just such an imagination without a trace of soft sentimentality and without compromising an inch of evangelical conviction." (Eugene H. Peterson, Professor Emeritus of Spiritual Theology, Regent College, and author of The Message and The Pastor) "A bold, prophetic and poetic masterpiece. I don,t know any writer who expresses the inexpressible love of God as powerfully and as beautifully as Rob Bell! No one who seriously engages this book will put it down unchanged. A 'must read, book!" (Greg Boyd, senior pastor at Woodland Hills Church and author of The Myth of a Christian Nation) "In Love Wins, Rob Bell tackles the old heaven-and-hell question and offers a courageous alternative answer. Thousands of readers will find freedom and hope and a new way of understanding the biblical story - from beginning to end." (Brian D. McLaren, author of A New Kind of Christianity and Naked Spirituality)

The hotel is in a good location and being only 10 minutes from the airport is great. The room was fine and the outside terrace well furnished. The buffet meals cater for the mainly german clientele, quantity rather than quality. The children loved the well maintained beach and the safe swimming. The sea was warmer than the freezing cold pools.
On arrival we were told that the hotel was overbooked and we were to spend 2 days in a third rate hotel down the coast and not by the sea. On our return to the hotel it was clear that we were one of many families that had their holiday spoiled.
I could order gluten free food. Dining room staff very friendly and a wide choice of food. Our room was very clean and the view from the balcony was brilliant. There was plenty of wardrobe space for our clothes. The kitchen was well equipped for our needs.
Waterproof mattress covers make the bed very hot. The indoor pool is too small for the size of the hotel. No tea towels or cleaning cloths supplied for the kitchen.
Location at beach, relative quiet, access to transport and services.
Far too many smokers making the outdoor areas unpleasant, polluting the air at the outdoor cafes, etc.
Excellent location at the beach. The half board is of a really high standard and with a lot of choices every day. The staff is hard working and will do everything to maintain a high service level. We will come back again.
Super food in restaurant Near near beach, bus stops, restaurants and shops Easy access to the hotel entrance with ramps and automatic doors Walk in shower Very helpful and friendly staff
No disabled facilities in room Can be noisy at night with aircraft, road traffic and people partying
Everything was just fantastic from the location, staff, food, it was all good. The location of the hotel is great as it is just across the road from a beautifully kept beach, lots of cycle paths, and all that in a quiet area.
Nothing it was all i had hoped it would be when I booked it.
Sea view apartment- brilliant. Beds were comfy and room was very clean, had a hob, fridge, crockery and glassware. bedroom separate from living room and kitchen.so its handy if you travel with a child. The balcony is also large and is really nice to sit out on, in the evenings or during the day. Location is very convenient: just opposite to the sea from one side hotel pool right outside door, and then across the street beach) and bus stop and Palma Aquarium from another side, . 10 mins from airport (cab only 15€), Easy access to beautifull Palma city via great bus service or cab. Staff was friendly, multilingual, and check-in checkout was quick fast and hassles free. big thank you to Rafa, Juan Maria, Elisa, Marcello. Great team.The staff at restaurant was very friendly.it makes a difference when you feel very welcome every time you enter the room. Breakfast and dinner had big variety of warm buffet dishes, food from different regions of the world, delicious pastry's. Menu was not same every day. The supermarket, on the hotel,handy to get groseries, If you stay in Aparthotel Fontanellas please visit the SPA. Antonina is a miracle maker and you will leave SPA super relaxed ( i did it 3 times :) ) Great place for holiday, suitable especially for families, would definitely recommend.
There is not much activities offered for children during the day. there wasn't much entertainment in the evening ( just music from CD). If you are there with small kid you cant really go outside hotel, so some entertainment would be nice. Poor wifi service and high prices (15€for a week, one device only). Would have liked a few more English tv channels especially for children,so boring for late night viewing.or when its raining all day ( we got 4 dull days).
Excellent location, very nice apartment
The first evening we arrived we didn´t get the booked room. The next day in the afternoon, after some trouble, we checked in finally. But the staff was helpful and we get some compensation.
The Location was superb
The excelent location. Stuff were all friendly. 部屋のタオルは毎日替えてくれます。室内清掃はベッドの下までは行き届きませんが。笑 海の目の前なので、立地はみなさま言うように最高です。子供がいると特に。 浜辺も、このあたりが一番気持良さそうにみえました。 スタッフはフレンドリーです。
-Not very good wi-fi connection.(You may not use it in your room, but should be OK at the lounge) -A lots of faults in room facilities.(Though they came to fixed them all) -Food, average. Dessert were not so good. 部屋の設備の問題でフロントに五回は問い合わせました。すべて解決しましたけど、結局そのおかげで最初の印- 象はイマイチ・・。 キッチンは(あまり使い勝手が良さそうにみえませんでしたけど)ハーフボードだったので、ほとんど使いませ- んでした。 食事は大型ファミリーホテルだから仕方ないでしょうけど、冷凍ものや缶詰を多々使って調理していますね。で- も見た目にはバラエティ豊富ですし、小さい子連れのファミリーにはすぐにとって食べれるのがいいかと。グリ- ルもやっていますし、毎日日替わりで肉・魚料理があります。子供向けのフライやピザ、パスタも必ずありまし- た。デザートは私の口には合いません。でも五回も食べたら家のご飯が恋しくなります。 WIFIは私の部屋ではまったく繋がらず、階段のところかラウンジまで出てネットにつないでいました。ネッ- トは別会社のプリペイドなのでそれが不満だったら(一、二日くらいなら)返金してもらえます。ホテルのパソ- コン(有料)を使うこともできます。
The storing facilities for bicycles and the grocery shop in the hotel.
To pay for WiFi of bad quality. Smell from the restaurant kotchen in the house beside the hotell.
How close it is to the beach
It's getting a bit old and the boat smells
next to beach 5 mins from airport
threadbare inside and out rooms not cleaned only towels replaced and bedding bar too big with no atmosphere
10 min taxi from airport easy access to Palma city via great bus service Walk straight onto beach from hotel Breakfast buffet excellent choice Great spa services
Kids Club poor choice of activities Indoor pool closed and facilities turned off Poor wifi service and high prices No english TV channels for kids
The lokation of the hotell, the food, exellent gym
Poor parking facillities
Good location right at the beach. Swimming pool clean and not crowded but we were there off season. Good breakfast.
Very slow service - you just wait and wait to get a drink and a coffee. Food targeting tourists = junk food! No local food. Restaurants around the hotel the same - all in German including the menus. If you are not German and are looking for local experience, do not go to this area.
Located on Playa de Palma beach front. Beach is just 50 meters away from the hotel. Well accessible by public transport (bus 21 direct to n from Airport) and surround by many restaurants and local shops. Staff was friendly and check-in checkout was quick without any hassles. The staff at restaurant was very friendly. Breakfast and dinner had variety of warm buffet dishes. Menu was not same on each day. This is recommended hotel in Playa de Palma and suitable especially for families.
Excellent breakfast & dinner, excellent location, not crowded beach (compared to El Arenal), close to airport, bus station, aquarium. Very clean and quiet.
Internet connection is not reliable even if is not for free (and not cheap either). During the day, sometimes you cannot connect at all.
Right next to the longest, sandiest beach ever, Fontanellas boasts high quality rooms, friendly multilingual staff, fantastic breakfasts with so much to choose from, omelettes cooked for you, the freshest of fruit and veg, meats, cheeses, cereals, cooked breakfasts, you name it they have it. Dinner is equally amazing and they have great entertainment for the kids in the evening we saw a parrot show and some awesome Spanish traditional dancers. The staff are really helpful and the pool is great for kids and adults alike. Rooms - get a suite with a sea view for sure and enjoy the sunset. Beds were comfy and room was very clean and had a hob, fridge, crockery and glassware. Not a single drunk bunch of youths either so fab for families and couples of all ages. Highly recommended!!!
Nothing it was great.
Located just in front of the beach. All the service was really well-considered. We were amazed to see the scale to check the weight of suitcase in the luggage room because we took low-cost carrier.
Quality and choice of food (provided you get in early enough) Cleanliness Location 25 yards from the beach (which itself is super) Very popular - couldn't get in at Whitsuntide - had to make do with a private apartment :(( Third trip to Palma this year - love the place
If you go to breakfast or dinner within half an hour of closing, the choice of food is reduced as is the freshness. Bar prices quite expensive. Seems to be understaffed in the restaurant at peak times - staff get a bit tetchy with each other
Confort, it's very nice renovated. The rooms are big, the food is good, very nice view from the upper pool, almost all the rooms are having view to the sea. Position next to the beach, direct access from the hotel to the beach. The hotel is very clean and modern.
WI-FI is very expensive (but there is free public WI-FI along the beach) The walls have weack soundprof - a bit noisy neighbour can disturb You have to pay for the drinks at dinner. There is a building between some part of the hotel and the sea so under 3rd level on that side of the building the view might be not so good

Anyone have info? I don't think its related to the mill-D reroute/addition. it is new trail cut off Big Water right below the sort of steep and rocky spot ( as steep and rocky as big water gets... ) just after the little trickle crossing as you come out of the deep woods. ( sorry, best way I can describe it) It hugs the side of the hill, climbing up next to the meadow. ( on your right as you ascend)
I hope its not just an easy way around that section.
ok...maybe here's another way to indicate where it is. tried to pin point it on skidmap ... not 100% sure i got it right.
where the "pointer" is....

How to Do Bicycle Crunches
No Equipment Necessary: Bicycle Crunches
by Susi May 50 Reactions 138 Shares Print
You can do regular crunches all day long, but that gets pretty boring for you and your abs. Bicycle crunches are a great way to target the rectus abdominis and the obliques in one easy exercise. Six-pack, here you come!Here's how:
- Lie flat on the floor with your lower back pressed to the ground (pull your navel in to also target your deep abs).
- Put your hands behind your head, then bring your knees in towards your chest and lift your shoulder blades off the ground, but be sure not to pull on your neck.
- Straighten your right leg out to about a 45-degree angle to the ground while turning your upper body to the left, bringing your right elbow towards the left knee. Make sure your rib cage is moving and not just your elbows.
- Now switch sides and do the same motion on the other side to complete one rep.
- Do three sets of 20 reps.
Speed is not the name of the game here; go slowly to focus on your form and your breathing. Also, it is not necessary to touch your elbows to your knees as this could cause strain in your neck.

In this instance capital is not the problem,unencumbered reserves are, ie cash and quickly realised cash or very short term government stock. this is what has to be increased, at least to 10% of the underlying assets held by the bank,this would help to reduce gearing from the dizzy hights of more than 25 X capital. ( some banks were over 40X)and Banks should not be able to take any liabilities of ballance sheet, algthough getting our government to push this may not be easy as they also use it extensivly
I dont believe the problem lies with the level of capital (share holders funds)but with the level of unemcumbered reserves held by the banks, this should be pushed up to at least 10% of assets, it may be that I missunderstand what is meant by capital in the context of the above article.
the other practise that must be stopped is the taking of liabilites of ballance sheet, ie hiding risk, The uphill work to be done here is to get the government who also use this practise, to push the necessary legislation through
Wrong question: Don't ask how much capital would allowed survival.
Ask "what effect higher required 'reserve-type asset holdings' would have had on the propensity to load up the balance sheet with financial-market assets and liabilities that have nothing at all to do with deposit-taking and loan-making".
We should want to change future actions/choices. We should not be concerned with mopping up the messes after they happen. We should want to prevent them.
As with the threat of floods, the greater the potential damage and the greater the risk, then the higher the higher the protective barriers need to be.
We have discovered how great the collateral damage from banks in crisis can be. So, that's one reason to raise capital requirements. But, what we seem to be in the dark about is risk - the one thing that capital markets should be good at pricing!
If various regulatory controls and limitations are placed on banks and on various types of financial product and on certain financial markets, then flood controls have been put in place and there is less need to raise capital requirements.
In short, its more complex than you suggest.
What the point of writing about "how much capital is enough"?. There is no need for new laws, regulations, requirements, etc. Talking about it, like The Economist does, is a smokescreen designed to create impression that the current crisis is a result of maybe unethical (greed, irresponsibility) but still legal actions. It is designed to save the bacon of the perpetrators that caused the current crisis.
The current crisis was caused in exactly the same way, i.e. by using illegal pyramid schemes, as Albanian gangsters did in 1996 -1997.
The fact is that the current anti-pyramid scheme laws and regulations have been sufficient. So rather than debating new requirements The Economist should argue that the existing laws and regulations must be enforced and a huge number of individuals (some very influential ones) should end up in jail and their wealth confiscated.
For more analysis, check up "Financial crisis? It's a pyramid, stupid."
Have seen the crisis period, it is now quite evident that the capital requirement should be different for different banks keeping in view their risk appetite. Since capital is the cushion for the banks in case of extreme loss situations, then why the author is recommending to keep the core capital at 4% after the losses. In my view it should be fine for the regulators as long as it is positive.
Perhaps the composition of bank capital is as important as the amount. If capital components vary pro-cyclically with market extremes, the benefit of counter-cyclical accumulation is lost. It is quite as important to enforce prudential regulation, or banks can take greater risks to offset increased capital requirements. Of course, we are in a hole because of a failure of common sense. That financial markets will behave responsibly if left to themselves was always absurd, and I hope that absurdity is now sufficiently clear to all. The time to be tough on financial firms is when everyone is getting rich, and thinking only of getting richer, regardless of risk. When markets panic, regulators ought to do their best to maintain confidence and act as lender of last resort. The dramatics of Paulson's Panic last September were exactly wrong, and turned a difficult situation into a catastrophe.

Bill Gates' nuclear firm plans hot, salty push into power
Re: "Proprietary" and "patents"
"innovators get a grace period to cash in, before their designs are granted to society"
Intellectual Ventures is just part of an industry practising hard to get better at avoiding the 'granted to society' part. Highly appropriate though, for an industry with such long lead times they'll need all the patent life prolonging tricks in their arsenal to fund the tech!
Still, nice to see some moves on safer and more efficient fission. Amazing what can happen when there's less pressure to generate useful side products for the military and actual make sane design choices.
ISPs: Relax. Blocking smut online WON'T really work
Re: explaining to the significant other
The built in mission creep will take away that problem since the filter is NOT a 'hard core porn' filter, not even a 'porn' filter - it's described as a 'family friendly' filter.
So you're mission becomes: find something you or your wife wants to see that isn't porn but is disapproved of by the controlling bastards setting the blacklist, demonstrate it not working. Shouldn't be hard with the certifiably insane pressure groups politicians love listening to.
Don't expect it to work better than the mobile carriers have managed, there's no incentive for ISPs to do more than comply with having a filter. Expect ludicrous situations like not being able to check what hours children are allowed in a pub because pub sites are adult material...
PHWOAR! Huh! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing, Prime Minister
"family-friendly content filters" != "porn filter"
We don't need to worry about feature creep, it starts off with a full dose of it, already seriously creepy.
I already know that O2 sometimes (always?) consider looking up opening times at a pubs website to be an adult activity, blocked by default. 'Family friendly' is such a flexible term, authoritarians cant resist it.
Ignoring any pure censorship issues, this is a policy where the implementation won't match the sales pitch, where parents will be pressured to accept whatever the government and pressure groups want hidden if they want the dubious headline benefits. It's a broken filter and it was designed that way by cynical, untrustworthy and controlling thugs.

adult filters aren't just porn
The adult filter on my phone got disabled seconds after it blocked me checking pub details. I trust governments to choose what to censor less than my ISP. And I don't trust my ISP at all in this.
Surface RT: A plan worthy of the South Park Underpants Gnomes
Re:we don't need Microsoft for that 'third ecosystem'
1: Samsung+Android
2: Apple+iOS
3: everyone else+Android
At least from the publics POV. The fragmentation MS endless portrays as bad makes Android a flock of closely related systems, albeit in a very limited sense. MS can hope to beat some of that 3rd tier but not sell enough for anyone to care.
I wouldn't be surprised if there are more phones running the MIUI version of Android than total WP phones.
The real problem is an industry totally bought into the 'we need a 3rd ecosystem' thinking. The carriers may need it, the wannabees may need to believe it, we all agree it's good for generating innovation.
The public don't care.
Launch a half finished product, with no ecosystem and no obvious customer advantage *now*, the public don't care and don't buy it *now*.
Tell them long and hard how magical the future will be for your product and they don't care, they'll buy what works now and wait to see if you deliver the pet unicorns and pixie dust later.
But misrepresent what your product is and does, they damn well will care if they fall for the lie. If the lie just confuses them, they'll buy something else. Win RT isn't Windows as the public understand it but that's not the impression MS put out.
Microsoft created a product based on the needs of everyone but the people expected to buy it. And so, like WP7 before it, the public realised they didn't need it.
Smartwatch makers: You need apps to beat Apple

"I feel most laptop keyboards are also painful"
When I try to do real work on mine I always use the wireless keyboard from my desktop PC. Laptop keyboards are just crap. Test still preferable to the onscreen keyboard on tablets.
... though I am enjoying the new Google keyboard on my phone. Can't imagine using the slide mode would be as useful on a much larger pad screen though.

Lost me at "bend over *AGAIN*"... I didn't notice them bending over on the 1st proposal, more sticking 2 fingers up to Microsoft/Fairsearch with utterly trivial changes that if anything will fuck over Fairsearch and Bing even better!
None of the complainants are happy with the Google proposal, hardly the sign of a concession being made.
Almunia can rig the rules but ultimately a court has to decide if they were broken if he can't bluster cooperation out of Google. Accusation != proof, even for Eurocrats. Almunia is overplaying his hand.

Microsoft lathers up Windows 8.0 Surface RT for quick price shave
Re: Clue up
Nope, MS took care to not be specific so readers would jump to conclusions. If anything it's hurt them badly, when the false conclusions many reached were proven false those same people jumped to the false conclusion it was a problem across the whole Win8 line!
They just tried the same scam with XBone but botched it more badly, not enough people imagined the wonders a tightly DRMed digital distribution model might bring. Interestingly MS still haven't officially commented on what those wonders might have really been, just left it to the rumour mill and had unconfirmable employee comments seed that mill.
Re: A bit behind the ball
...it is however a very common occurrence they break the news before The (always late to the party) Register ;)
Re: I came close
Also bear in mind the many reports that RT devices aren't really fast enough to run it well. Every review or comment from a user inevitably mentions typing lag. Hardly surprising with the quality of hardware it's running on and the total lack of effort adapting it to low spec hardware, tweaking chrome spacing does nothing for performance.
Its still mildly astonishing they even thought throwing in a dodgy copy of Office would sell the thing. After a decade of WinCE they know the classic interface doesn't work on these devices. It seems the Office guys couldn't get the new Metro UI to work for it in time - though I doubt they even tried, it's so damn impoverished as a toolkit. The speed hit of RT over 100% native code can't have been inviting either, something it took Google several years to address with the NDK (used in a frighteningly hi proportion of apps now).
Office on Surface RT just stinks of knee jerk traditional monopoly maintenance by Microsoft, not a considered, sensible plan.
Microsoft's next device could be a Surface Watch
Stylaphone time
I think Microsoft have a clear advantage here in having the most stylus friendly OS ready to go. The difficult bit will be finding somewhere to stow the stylus... perhaps next to the magnifying glass needed to actually read WinCE menu's on a screen that small ;)
On a more serious note, there's a good reason all existing 'Smartwatches' are really only semi-smart, your finger covers 1/3 of the screen and fitting more than 6 usable touch controls is a challenge. Probably one of the 'hard engineering problems' Apple are struggling with, how to re-engineer users fingers.
One thing seems certain, we're several generations of power reduction+battery improvement and years away from a genuinely smart watch. Another hard engineering problem, changing the meaning of 'smart'?

Google also bundle a lot of crap you probably don't want (like a free + account with every product) but the difference is they don't charge you for it and it's different crap.
Microsoft: 'Google's secret government meetings let it avoid import ban' - Report
Re: The title is not the patent!
You describe how the process is supposed to work not how it actually works (where works->fails to work). In reality the USPTO does very little filtering until faced with a legal challenge and for software what's granted is rarely much different to what's claimed. That 90% of claims get shredded when challenged doesn't help, it's too bloody late by then.
Re: The ITC is a US organization...

Botch Tuesday: Redmond frags video codec
Guess what, there is a DVD full of tests for all those edge cases. I never ran the whole set - needed a spare hard drive just to collect the results and it would have taken days just pulling the results off the mobile, for a codec that never aimed to pass all tests.
Raises suspicion that MS don't follow their own certification procedures. Wouldn't be the first time there were different rules for internal and external MS developers.

Microsoft extends Windows Phone 8 support through 2015
Re: " there was a significant change in specificatio"
If Winphone continues to restrictively specify the design of new devices it has no future. Apple already captured the minority happy to all own the 'same' phone, the majority stampeded toward the 'fragmented' world of Android.
Microsoft really got this wrong, avoiding fragmented hardware only sounds good in business meetings but it's not what the buying public actually want... the share of the public not already tied to Apple that is. MS aren't ever going to shift enough iOS users to WP and have contracts with Apple preventing them copying the look&feel of iOS to ensure it.
Quite how MS managed to build an OS unable to cope with varied hardware is hard to understand, device abstractions and wide driver support is what created their desktop OS success. Seems certain it was a deliberate decision, I'd guess driven by Apples success when they started work on Winphone and the endless fountain of PR castigating Android fragmentation strongly suggests they've always wrongly believed it was a crucial sales feature.
The problem is they completely forgot to check with the market, a market with thousands of different devices before smartphones rose and with a thriving customisation aftermarket even on locked down iPhones. Most buyers want variation, even if only cosmetic and Microsoft went out of their way to not offer that. Huge mistake when you're this late to a market.
The end result is a engineering mindset at Microsoft that means they aren't building each version of WP with the flexibility to deal with off-spec hardware. I don't believe that attitude will change in time to make WP9 support WP8 spec hardware, they need to acknowledge a central part of the sales plan is wrong and Microsoft haven't yet accepted they need change to rescue the products.
Microsoft to ship Windows 8.1 in 'late August'
Re: @mmeier
Mediaportal is not a 'badly behaved' program, at least as far as it's install process and links is concerned.
It installed 16 links in my Start Menu, split between front and backend sub menus, both contained in the Team Mediaportal main menu and easily navigable. The Start Screen picked 8 of them to dump into it's grid and didn't even keep them together in the jumble. The 'all apps' view at least clustered them into 1 group but discarded the front/backend distinction and only found 13 of the links. Not only did it flatten the hierarchy, it couldn't even find all the links... beyond useless.
It's probably the most links an installer added but far from unique - I see 4 TortoiseSVN links on the Start Screen, worse than useless because the main one is a context menu that only works in explorer on the desktop!
mmeier:"Hundrets of icons? This sounds very strange and/or like badly programmed applications"
Seems you've forgotten classic desktop installers expect to add as many links as they like, all packaged away into a sub-menu so the Start Menu doesn't get hopelessly messy. It seems Microsoft also forgot it when coding the Start Screen, which translates classic installs by dumping all the structure and creating an unholy flattened mess.
Can't say I'm too surprised at all this forgetfulness, the price of entry to the Metro fan club always involved wilfully forgetting the past, to avoid unfavourable comparisons springing to mind.
AC:"Your argument is the same that was used about the Windows 3.x->95 move. People actually stuck with the program manager for years in some cases, despite the start menu being obviously better"
Pretty much sums up the 'fuck you' thinking coming out of Microsoft right now, channelled by their army of shills.
Apparently you are allowed to think the 95 era 'Start Menu' was *obviously better* but I'm not allowed to think the Win8 era 'Start Screen' is obviously worse on the desktop. Neither am I allowed to continue believing it after trying to use the sorry POS and finding it defective.
With Win95 Microsoft had the confidence to leave the old style launcher shell in place and let users choose. They even left it there in XP for any remaining holdouts. This time round though they seem to lack the confidence to just let the new out compete the old... as if even they know that's doomed to fail.
But the greater needs of forcing Windows onto the tablet and phone market requires that letting users decide what works best on users desktops is not an allowable option. If that impoverishes the set of tools I have available, neither you or Microsoft cares.
Android sig vuln exploit SEEN IN THE WILD
What's this 'install everything' setting?
Anyway, the problem here is not lack of signature checks, the device signature check itself is broken. Its easy to spot tampered with apps but you're now more reliant on trusting the distribution chain to actually do it.
Re: otherwise untouchable bloat
No, I mean fun like stripping 15Mb of foreign language dictionaries out of the keyboard apk and still having a working keyboard. Probably with a broken signature (not checked) but working. 15Mb I'd rather waste on games ;)
Anyway, had a look at the purported bug fix and it looks like Google (for a change) haven't overreacted and outlawed all zip file manipulation.
But it's a serious bug, trivially simple, trivially simple to exploit. Also however trivially simple to detect exploits and it looks like that detection could be added without a full OS update. Just don't wait for Google to get off their lazy arses and actually do it.
...although modifying the actual dex chunk does have it's appeal. Just tends to be easier to find a less abusive app than recompile one.
Re: How quickly the argument changes...
Far from useless, it looks very like the way I've been hacking otherwise untouchable bloat out of apps for the last couple of years without the hassle of resigning them...
Will be an unfortunate loss when patched.
IT design: You're not data, you're a human being
Re: the Start Menu
I strongly suspect part of the apathy for the XP style Start Menu springs from Microsoft completely failing to tell ordinary users how to manage the thing. It's sometimes obvious when the haters post about it's deficiencies they've just let Windows drop crap into it, without ever sorting additions, adding categories to the tree, removed junk or done anything to manage the ensuing mess. Without even noticing drag'n'drop works on it and takes seconds to undo what installers break.
Yet the same 'unstructure list' behaviour on the shiny new Start Screen is somehow magically more efficient...
My start menu has ordered imposed on it and in return I no longer need to remember where things are. I've effectively offloaded some of my cognitive load on the machine. It seems that I'm in a minority of people able to manage what installers throw at me, a minority that can be ignored in favour of dragging me back into the same mire the majority put up with.
To much concentration on metrics just drags us all down to the same level.

Windows 8 apps pass 100K, Windows 8 passes Vista
"very good backwards-compatibility"
...just a pity you have to explicitly turn it on for so many desktop applications.
I bet 99k of them are simple ports
It's considerably easier porting an existing iOS or Android app to another platform, especially if you built it in a cross platform tool. So you'd expect apps to appear massively quicker on later platforms, during the initial gold rush, while quick dirty ports can succeed.
Trickling in a little bit faster just shouts fail. I want to know how many of that 100k are this years apps, not recompiled stuff from the dawn of iPhone. I doubt it's a lot and now Microsoft are done subsidising (*) them I expect growth to slow a lot.
(* Microsoft have stopped pumping adverts into the ad platform, since they were responsible for 90%+ of them ad funded WP apps are effectively dead. AFAIK they also stopped paying bonuses for apps)

For a device that was described as unrepairable after a teardown (iFixit rated it 1 out of 10), which seems to be glue with some components embedded in it, I'd guess they won't be doing repairs or spare parts!
At least the SSD is actually removable if you need to recover data from a dead Surface, something you'll need specialised kit to do with embedded flash.

Re: Governments moral right to the money?
Rol:"governments around the world will have no choice but to get together and come up with a universal plan"
In direct contrast to how we got in this mess, with governments competing to attract business by offering tax incentives. When times were good they conveniently managed to overlook that they weren't just shafting other governments but forgoing vital income themselves.
It's hard to belief greedy halfwit governments willing to win business at literally ANY cost could ever agree to stop shafting each other. In the unlikely event any agreement is ever reached I doubt it would last long enough to actually collect the tax before our corrupt politicians kick off another round of suicidal tax giveaways. They really are that corrupt and that stupid.

Re: Error
At the time a friend described the 8086/8088 as 2 8080's badly stitched together and in many ways it literally was just that and as flaky as it sounds.
Saddening to think there were so many interesting and architecturally superior CPUs around at the time, all killed by Intels ability to throw a couple of billion transistors at the job of hiding the true horror of the x86 design. There are no x86 CPUs any longer, just a lot of silicon emulating them.

Re: Windows 7?
If only Microsoft didn't keep telling us it's listening to customers (and even remote monitoring them) to give them what they want... and apparently what they wanted was a Fisher Price drag along cart, in bright shiny colours and reduced functionality so they could skive off work better ;)
Microsoft know the PC market is in terminal decline, it's why they think it's OK to fuck over the Windows desktop and power users with a dumbed down legacy mode and completely dumb preferred UI. Its the desperate marketing driven need to enter a growing tablet+mobile market overriding all other concerns.
Microsoft is failing because they're shiny new consumer pandering OS isn't good enough to compete. They're damaging the existing PC product but gaining no benefit in the new target markets. When will Ballmer stop digging? Only when he's 6ft down in a wooden box is my bet.
Microsoft talks up devices, Windows 8.1 at developer shindig
"they monitor the use of thousands upon thousands of Windows users"
Measuring a minority does not justify everything you want to do to that minority.
Does not take away that minorities rights to comment.
Never magically makes a bad change good.
Win8 withdrew or damaged features to support Microsofts market planning, not for users benefit. The plan isn't even working so everyone loses.
Windows Store apps for Office probably won't ship until 2014
hardly unexpected they cant make a joined up plan
We all know Microsoft is really a confederation of divisions, not quite at war with each other but rarely cooperating with any enthusiasm. This time Ballmer put marketing and the planners in charge of bludgeoning their way into phones and tablets in charge and they aren't listening to any feedback, not customer feedback and it seems not internal either.
Tools got away with just dumbing down the chrome on their UIs because those users were always going to use desktop mode. Still caused a flood of complaint. Office have been ordered to do the impossible, fit a complex, high precision UI onto an inherently low precision, sparse GUI toolkit... and it's not easy, possibly not really possible. Maybe the delays are Office just refusing to play, more likely it's just the impossibility of the making full fat tools work in low fat Metro, iOS or Android.
At some point HQ will have to decide if the great Windows infestation plan is better served by shipping apps cut down to what works with deficient mobile and touch UIs. To stop pretending full versions of Office on those devices are a credible sales tool for the greater Win8 plan. ATM it looks like that will take the complete failure of Win8 before Microsoft changes anything and they won't see it coming because they have their eyes shut.
Windows 8.1 start button appears as Microsoft's Blue wave breaks
Re: can use black title bars with white text?
I wasted half a day trying to retheme the window chrome to something with more visual clues. Turns out they didn't just create pastel, low contrast themes, they decimated the theming options so it's hard to create anything else. With less granular control every thing you change has unforseen consequences somewhere else. At one point I thought I'd cracked it, only to discover dialogs were showing text black on black!
Even the hi-contrast settings don't help, they have the same problems. They look so ugly because they can't be made nicer and still work everywhere.
If you really want to restore some much needed chrome you'll need a 3rd party theming engine to restore more settings. UxStyle works nicely and with the Royale 8 theme a casual observer would think I'm running XP.
(And UxStyle is an early casualty of Win8.1. Thanks MS ;( )

We could all use a few extra pennies, right? And even if you already have frugal habits, it's always worth taking a few moments to discover if you have any money "leaks." One of the biggest ways many of us lose money is through food waste, or by purchasing convenience food items.
How many times have you opened your refrigerator to discover produce that could double as a science experiment? Yeah, that's never fun! And then you take that spoiled produce and throw it in the trash. But really, it's the same as taking the $2 that you spent on those cucumbers and just throwing that directly into the trash can. Can you imagine willingly taking money from your wallet and putting in the trash can? It pains me to have this type of waste, so here are a few things that I do to minimize it.

If you've read any design/décor magazines or blogs in the past five years or so, you will have noticed that bookcases seem to only hold tchotchkes or vases or decorative bowls. There are very few books to be seen in bookcases lately! But most of us still own books and would like to display them, so the question is how to do it in a way that is both functional and fashionable? I'll show you some bookcases (with books!) that I have in my bedroom, and I'll also feature some other bloggers' bookshelves that hold books and still look stylish.
We originally had a large TV stand in our bedroom that was much too large for the space. We got rid of that a couple of years ago and found this art-deco buffet on Craigslist:

Extra storage – it's like the unicorn of home organization; so coveted, yet so elusive. But I'm here to tell you that there really is a way to find extra storage in your home. You just need to use a bit of creativity.
'm sure that many of you, like me, have tried in vain to find a good solution for storing your wrapping paper. I realize that this is, indeed, a first world problem, but hey, it's there! I used to use a Rubbermaid gift wrap storage bin, and it did hold a lot of wrapping paper. But sometimes the rolls would get crunched and crumpled, and eventually the lid hinge broke so the lid kept falling off. The bin was also quite bulky and took up too much precious closet space. Wrapping accessories like bows and ribbon would also get smashed into the bottom of the bin, so they were not only lost but also ruined. Definitely not my idea of useful storage.
I thought about it for a while, and once again turned to my beloved 3M Command hooks. (I have no affiliation with 3M, but I definitely admire their genius!) The wire hook was the perfect solution:
