A group of LinkedIn users are suing the social networking site for allegedly hacking into their email accounts. In a complaint filed in a San Jose federal court this week, the users accuse LinkedIn of accessing their email so the company can mine out a list of contacts and send spam-like emails. The suit claims that "Linkedln is able to download these addresses without requesting the password for the external email accounts or obtaining users' consent." "Relationships matter"

Activate your MSDN Benefits, create and deploy a Windows Azure Web Site or Windows Azure Virtual Machine, and we’ll automatically enroll you in the sweepstakes draw and if you are lucky you might drive away in your very own 2013 Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Microsoft would reeeeeeeaaaaalllly be happy if you tried Azure
Seems a no-brainer if you have an MSDN subscription.

For Microsoft, Windows Vista took priority over Mobile. Years later, Steve Ballmer regrets that decision. How did that Vista thing turn out?

Does Google have a search monopoly, or is Microsoft in denial that no one prefers Bing? Chutzpah (noun, informal): shameless audacity; impudence.

I only use Bing; never that other company.

Like iOS 6.1 before it, the latest version of iOS has shipped with a security loophole. The iOS 7 update, rolled out yesterday, allows users to bypass an iPhone or iPad lockscreen with a tricky maneuver that offers access to a user's photos, email, text messages, Facebook, Flickr, and Twitter accounts. Think different bugs

I guess it is a pretty standard thing that they have this 'bypass the lockscreen' bug - Is it the third or already the fourth time they have this one sneaking into their glossy system?
You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colon."

The Minnowboard: More expensive, more powerful, more open. I could be wrong, but it looks like you could run Windows on it (or at least walk it)

I don't see how something that costs nearly 6x as much is really a competitor. It seems like a lot of the draw to the Raspberry Pi was the price. 
|
|
|
|

They're really pushing the openness, but I don't really see that either. The Pi is pretty well documented IMO. The only real benefit that I can see is that it's an Atom, rather than an ARM chip, so x86 code will work on it.

In addition to that, it seems like you can connect a SATA HDD to it, which I actually prefer over SDCards.

In an aggressive move to compete with Microsoft, Google today made document editing software QuickOffice free for iOS and Android. The professional version of the software, which previously called $19.99, allows users to edit Microsoft Office documents on their mobile devices. Be prepared for adverts in your presentations

On Thursday, Microsoft will try to explain what being a "devices and services" company means for a company that most people think of as a software company first and foremost — and the world’s largest software maker, at that. Ignore those two parts of the company that make all the money, we'd like to sell you a Surface and SharePoint subscription.

When you start out as an entrepreneur, it’s just you and your idea, or you and your co-founder’s and your idea. Then you add customers, and they shape and mold you and that idea until you achieve the fabled “product-market fit.” If you are lucky and diligent, you achieve that fit more than once, reinventing yourself with multiple products and multiple customer segments. Creating a world-class publishing company, with instantly recognizable books just isn't good enough for some people.

Yesterday over 9,500 articles published throughout the years on .net magazine disappeared over night. Sadly, only the top 500 articles were moved to a new home while others just vanished from the Web within a couple of seconds. And so, another portion of my bookmarks died silently and abruptly. "Round the decay of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare, the lone and level sands stretch far away."

Years ago, I used to create backups of whole websites on my local disk. With static html, that was relatively easy. With the years, non-content grew enormously (all those javascripts and css and navigation and ads and...), and I developed tools for getting the content. But newsmagazines often changed their layouts, and eventually I was to lazy to update my tools for their changes... And of course, my local content could not be searched via Google.
I stayed aware of the fact that any content can be removed from the web - such that nobody can even prove that it had existed at all. The work of the new Winston Smiths is far easier than it was described for the pre-internet era. But hardly anyone will notice it.

Android may have a much bigger chunk of the market, but that's irrelevant if people are actually using Apple devices more. At least that's Apple CEO Tim Cook's take on the market. Has he been taking math lessons from Ballmer?

Is that why three-quarters of the *great* *new* *features* in ios7 appear to be directly copied from android (and most of the rest from Windows phone)?

I suspect that's just because iUsers like to fiddle with their devices constantly so they can be seen to be iUsers.
