I'll bet you thought of that line as soon as you came across the article

New research from security vendor Positive Technologies examines vulnerabilities and threats in mobile applications, stating that the security level of iOS and Android apps is "roughly equivalent between the two platforms." They don't have a lower score than 'bad'?
|

So we're talking about apps made for different systems, right?
And who mare these apps made by, how where they schooled, and what did and do they learn from the environment (google searches, primarily)?
App security has sod all to do with the OS; it's all about the people who write the apps -- who all learned the same things and use the same sources of information, so of course the problems in android and ios systems are about the same.
A penny's worth of common sense would have saved them the expense of the study.

Researchers at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia have found evidence that our frequent use of mobile devices could be fundamentally altering our physiology. Specifically, they’re seeing horn-like bone spurs appear on younger adults (the most frequent users of those devices). Bull!
If I'm going to grow horns, at least make them a cool ones, not small ones off the back of my head. Unicorn or go home! (or maybe like Bighorn sheep?)

The Beer Prayer - Our lager, which art in barrels, hallowed be thy drink. Thy will be drunk, I will be drunk, at home as it is in the tavern. Give us this day our foamy head, and forgive us our spillage as we forgive those who spill against us. And lead us not to incarceration, but deliver us from hangovers. For thine is the beer, the bitter and the lager, for ever and ever. Barmen.

New Feedback Hub feature could mean less noise about Windows flaws and possibly more action. So you can all watch them get marked as "By design"

It's not worth the effort.

Today we are excited to make preview builds from the Microsoft Edge Canary channel available on Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1. Because it’s so hard to find a good browser for those platforms?
I’m betting it works like other browsers.
Except where Google kneecaps it.

|
|
|
|
Hurray, more software I won't use.
|
|
|
|

I wonder why they didn't release it for Win10 as well...
|
|
|
|

They did a few months ago. This is them expanding it to the versions of Windows they're getting close to killing off entirely.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?

Who in their right mind would want it?
Mind you "who in their right mind" is becoming my mantra, now, because the place I'm contracting to has edge as the default, and none of the good browsers are available to install.
- "Who in their right mind would make a browser without a status bar?"
- "Who in their right mind would make a browser that you can't drop HTML files onto?"
Etc. All day long. Every day.
