For those cheering this, beware that if you work for a multinational firm the EU is likely coming after your company next. What those companies can't pass onto customers, they'll make up for by slashing jobs.
Of course, you could just vote the EU out-of-office. Oh, wait, you can't.

We have seen demonstrations of two types of cyber attacks against STJ implantable cardiac devices (“Cardiac Devices”): a “crash” attack that causes Cardiac Devices to malfunction – including by apparently pacing at a potentially dangerous rate; and, a battery drain attack that could be particularly harmful to device dependent users. Despite having no background in cybersecurity, Muddy Waters has been able to replicate in-house key exploits that help to enable these attacks. Reminds me of an old Geek and Poke cartoon:

So? Steve Ciarcia (of Ciarcia's Circuit Cellar, BYTE) was doing this sort of thing more than 30 years ago, albeit without voice control.
Zuckerberg's system is less flexible than Ciarcia's - even other members of the household can't use it. What's the big deal?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I was thinking the same thing.
Bill Gates did this back in 1995 or so when he built his mega-house.

So it's not actually Zoidberg who built it? Gotta love a manager who uses up other people's time and then has the gall to call it "my project".

That, surely, must be one of the most tempting targets for hackers in the history of computing.

Dev Center continuously adds more options to enable you to monetize and promote your apps and games, and to streamline new submissions or analyze app performance. For those who like their garden with walls
Oh, but you can submit apps for XBox One now. Now you'll finally be able to add a new database record by pressing "jump"

On Tuesday the European Commission will find against Ireland's tax arrangements with Apple, and ask the country to collect over 1 billion euros ($1.119 billion) in back taxes, a report claimed on Monday. That will buy a few iPhone 7 units

Sadly, as anyone who has been to Ireland can tell you, when Apple do hand over that money then we will technically be "in a round" and have to keep drinking / paying in turn until the bar closes.

Ah, lovely Emerald Isle where my ancestors (that were not hung as horse thieves) kept fiddlin' and diddlin' to keep the genes that created me afloat in spite of all the odds rigged by their colonial masters in the name of "Rule Britannia."
Ireland has lowered its debt-to-GDP ratio significantly from second-hightest-in-the-world a few years ago to fifteenth highest now: [^], and eighth highest in the EU ... but, a cool billion could certainly help put a few new strings on ye auld fiddles.

Thanks, Duncan, you're absolutely right; I've updated my post to reflect the most recent source I could find.
cheers, Bill

A report from HackerRank finds that while the U.S. and India have lots of developers, Chinese and Russian programmers are the most talented. "Callin' all nations to put it on the line"
|

Chinese developers outside the US are next to worthless. While Russian programmers are very good, those from the non-Russian parts of former Eastern bloc are better.

According to the software giant Windows 10 now has 50 percent of the market in the US, and 51 percent in the UK. {Something about the third kind of lie goes here}

If you liberally count Ubuntu as an alternative Win10 release, that number may be right.

If whoever wrote that page was drunk enough to think sorting months alphabetically was valid, what are the odds that they counted every w10 upgrade popup as a successful install? 
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?

From the article:
"NetMarketShare records actual OS usage (based on web browsing)"
In other words, not actual, actual OS usage, but actual web browsing usage.

Technique works on virtually all USB drives with no modifications necessary. Sooooo, you just need physical access to get the data? Brilliant!
80bps. I think actually copying the data to the USB stick might be a little faster.
But I guess I'm just not being hackerish enough.
