I thought it was named for the character in Street Fighter, but I suppose acronym is possible.

A Team of US researchers at UC Berkeley conducted a study on the HTTPS traffic analysis of ten widely used HTTPS-secured Web sites with surprising results. The 'S' is for 'Sort of secure'

Following reports that Britain’s GCHQ had intercepted data being transmitted between Google datacenters, Schmidt said that the company’s resulting security upgrade had left him “Pretty sure that information within Google is now safe from any government’s prying eyes.” And I'm "pretty sure" he wouldn't know one way or the other

Speaking today at the SXSW conference, Google's SVP of Android and Chrome Sundar Pichai said that in two weeks, Google will be releasing a developer SDK that will make it easier for companies to create wearable devices that run on Android. "You are fully functional, aren't you?"

Finally? They've been out in front of the wearable device thing for awhile with Glass.

Ahh, so now you can get the crap kicked out of you for your ear rings, and not just your glasses.

Of course what they're not saying is that the reason dingleberry users never need to top off their battery midday is that there aren't any 3rd party apps available that could use battery charge up in the first place.
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?

right tool choices to reduce costs, increase revenue and capture new markets. "Far to the east, over ranges and rivers, beyond woodlands and wastelands, lies a single solitary peak."

I found it useless - more like a categorized list of tools that are in...
It also lacks any connection between different areas of development, in reality you can't choose one tool without examining its connection to others...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

This category is, itself, divided into two major camps: native tools and those that favor cross-platform development. For the most part, the former tools generate apps that look completely native, while the latter provide a good experience, but lack the ability to use the exact native look-and-feel and frequently cannot access all the device features available to native apps. However, cross-platform tools have the distinct advantage of portability: one code base, multiple app platforms. Great tools phone it in

Want to learn Linux? The Linux Foundation announced today that it will be offering its $2,400 “Introduction to Linux” course for free through edX, the Harvard/MIT online learning platform that supports massive enrollment. I don't see a big blue E on my desktop, this must be broken

Is this open to everyone or just US people?

Maybe I'm not reading it right, but I can't find anything on EDX's page that says summer. In fact, I see "third quarter" which is most certainly not summer.
Does anyone know anything about this? Did I miss something?
|

This is the one[^], at least that's what's linked from the Linux Foundation site. July/August would be third quarter, and still summer (in some places)

Microsoft finalized its upcoming Windows 8.1 Update recently, but the company appears to be sharing it a little early today. While the software maker is expected to release the update officially in April, Microsoft has only detailed a few of the features in the update and has not yet provided an official release date. Links to download a final version of the Windows 8.1 Update, thanks to Microsoft’s Windows Update service, have been discovered. If you absolutely, positively, can't wait

I absolutely, positively, can.
