The top lawyer for the National Security Agency and others from the Obama administration made it clear to the US government's independent oversight board that tech titans knew about government surveillance while it was going on.
NSA general counsel Rajesh De told the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board on Wednesday that tech titans were aware that the NSA was collecting communications and related metadata both for the NSA's "PRISM" program and for "upstream" communications crossing the Internet. I am not all that surprised...

Page said, “I’m just very worried that with Internet privacy, we’re doing the same thing we’re doing with medical records, we’re throwing out the baby with the bathwater. We’re not thinking about the tremendous good that can come from people sharing the right information with the right people in the right ways.” Of course, the "right way" is "give it ALL to US!"

But even a long-time Flash booster like myself can read the signs of the time. Flash may not be dead, but it is certainly dying, and the killer is not Steve Jobs, mobile devices, or HTML5, but Adobe. They are slowly neglecting Flash to death. Keep trying, Ming. You'll win eventually.

He's clearly in denial. With Apple refusing to support flash on iOS and Google's decision to stop allowing it on Android the writing was on the wall. Adobe could've kept pounding money down the rathole all day long, but without mobile support it would still be a doomed platform.

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?

Starting today, Oculus is taking pre-orders for the Oculus Rift DK2, a refined version of the Crystal Cove prototype that blew us away at the Consumer Electronics Show in January, taking home our award for Best in Show. It also just so happens to be the last developer kit before the company announces the long-awaited consumer version of its headgear. Sony may just have announced its own virtual reality headset for PlayStation 4, but as far as headgear is concerned it seems like Oculus is already on the home stretch.

What was intended as a set of personal practices has become a doctrine. And despite the mainstream adoption of Agile, the loss of its original intent has undermined its effectiveness. "We were liberated from the fold, that's all, and the world looks just the same"

In a challenge to one of Google's more controversial practices, a group of students in California are suing Google, claiming that the company's monitoring of Gmail violates federal and state privacy laws. "I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part!"

Yep. Definitely a fart in a hurricane. But good on them for knowing to be angry about it.

Next major revision of Google's JavaScript framework plans to target ECMAScript 6, have a more modular design, and ditch older browsers. Slow down! I'm still trying to figure out 1.0

Sigh.
It's great to push people to ditch the browsers, but we're not quite there yet. Another couple of years maybe.

In a few years we'll all be cursing people with obsolete versions of IE that don't support any of the good standards like IE11 or IE12.
