Security researchers at Proofpoint have uncovered the very first wide-scale hack that involved television sets and at least one refrigerator. Not counting that time with William Perry and the all-you-can-eat buffet
How's that for a 90's reference? Or was it 80s? Too lazy to head to Wikipedia.

Better performance, more features, and improved tools mark the 1.1 release of Dart. Just two months after the 1.0 release, this new release delivers a set of compatible updates that makes applications easier to develop and faster for end users. Not "faster than", just the outputted JavaScript is faster (still, I guess that's good)

In a case of convenience for users trumping security, Starbucks has been storing the passwords for its mobile-payment app, along with geolocation data, in clear text. Have we learned nothing?

Clearly the answer is no.

I've avoided Starbucks for years on that basis alone.

We are thrilled to announce version 2.0 of the PDB Project extension on the Visual Studio Gallery. PDB Project, as the name suggests, takes the information contained in a .pdb file to create a C++ project. I can't imagine ever needing this, but I imagine it would be useful if you did.
|
|
|
|
|
so does that mean that if you get ahold of a PDB file for some program you can get the (some what) source code using this program ?

'Swhat it sounds like, yes. I'm too lazy to download and try though. I thought maybe some of the burly-C++-types might be interested though

Nearly three years ago, the Federal Trade Commission began an investigation into Apple’s marketing of in-app purchases to children. The issue was that when users entered their iTunes password in the App Store, iOS wouldn't ask for the password again for 15 minutes—enabling the easy purchase of virtual items, particularly by kids. Earlier this year, Ars reported an instance where a five-year-old ran up a $2,500 charge. I guess now kids will have to memorize Dad's password, rather than just asking for it every 15 minutes
