By sampling the molecules on cell phones, researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine and Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences were able to construct lifestyle sketches for each phone's owner, including diet, preferred hygiene products, health status and locations visited. Nope. Not going to go there.

That's probably for the ones who have the phone the whole day in the hand. I suppose people like me having the phone mostly in the pocket and using it to call people (yes, yes... to just call people, imagine that) it might be a bit less information

For those of you who've avoided upgrading to Windows 10 so far, Microsoft has offered some scary ransomware numbers to prove it's in your interests to do so. Other than the ransomware that is Windows 10

Of course... that statistics are so truthly and reliable... M$ is just thinking on and concerned about your security. Benefits has nothing to do with that.

1. The values they present are totally fit the market share... Twice the number of Win 7 machines, twice the number of threats
2. The first time in a history Microsoft suggest to install a virus to get rid of an other...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

A new leak spotted by petri.com, coming from a cached Microsoft blog post, however, suggests that Visual Studio may soon be coming to the Mac. In case you needed justification for buying a new MacBook Pro
Assuming people needed justification, @chris-maunder.
Besides, they're so shiiiiiiiny!

Did you know that people are actually happier with less choices?
The Paradox of Choice - Wikipedia[^]
You know this to be true from the App Store (or Google Play).
Here's how it works.
1. You are going to buy an app and there are 62 different choices.
2. You choose one
3. You try it and it fails to satisfy you on at least one point.
4. You figure there must be better app out there that is perfect, but you chose the wrong one.
5. You figure, "wow, I must be stupid, because I chose the wrong app".
6. You are less happy.
Back in the day, there were no choices.
1. Eat your peas.
2. But I don't like peas.
3. Okay, you can starve then.
4. You eat the peas.
5. You are not dead
6. You're mostly happy and at least you don't _feel_ stupid.
So pbhbhbhbhbtttttt!!!! on your Visual Studio on macOS.
I got XCode and I'm happy with it because it's all I got.
Now, get outta here, Microsoft. Don't foul up the macOS neighborhood like you have Windows.

It's actually not anything new. They've just rebranded Xamarin Studio, which has been available for Mac for some time now.
|
|
|
|

That's interesting.
Xamarin. It _should_ work.
It seems like you learn a lot of overhead and you get stuck in Xamarin tunnel using it.
It's supposed to be easier for multi-OS deployment, but I"m still not sure.

Third-party applications that allow single sign-on via Facebook and Google and support the OAuth 2.0 protocol, are exposed to account hijacking. Good thing people switched away from securing their own passwords

Terribly insecure. Well, unless you are using some strong encryption like Rot-13 or if you're especially tricky, Rot-7.

I once tried to logon to a site and the ONLY way to logon and download a program I wanted was to use Facebook and "like" them, then you would get the download.
I laughed in their face(book). Nothing is worth having to create an account on FB for.

The Dial almost seems like it came right out of a science fiction novel, letting us interact with our Surface devices in countless ways with just a few simple gestures. Because just pressing the appropriate function keys is so caveman-like?
