The St. Regis Mohawk Tribe has filed patent lawsuits against Amazon and Microsoft, using patents it acquired from a company called SRC Labs. I was unaware the Mohawk were that big in processor design

I read the first patent cited and I seriously doubt that Microsoft infringes on it in any way. In fact, I can't think of any current microprocessor company that does.

The Beatles were much better (but what do today's kids know?  )
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 don't like the Beatles - I prefer The Who and Led Zeppelin - but Shatner could make real art of any song. ANY song.

Researchers at the University of Washington have found a way to track a person’s location and app use through serving ads on mobile apps. The result opens the door for significant privacy invasions through the app-based advertising system. Product idea: adblocker for smartphones
I'm sure they're out there already? If I had one, I might be interested in actually looking.

There's Adblock browser, but that doesn't help with in-app spyware. 
I'm not aware of anything phonewide, and suspect the OS security models would preclude an app getting that level of access unless you rooted it. 
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?

I use Adguard 2.7 on my S7 and my development pc machine at home. It's a VPN app that scans and blocks ads. I've been using it for several months now with few issues. The only thing that I have found is that some websites don't display properly, but other than that, it's been great. As for it spying on me, I haven't found any evidence of it, but who knows.
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

According to the results of a new survey, the need for soft skills like communication and critical thinking has increased in the IT security sector. From 'essential', to...?

That's because they need those soft skills to handle all the customer complaints when a data breech occurs. Communication: Speak calmly. Critical thinking: Is it safe for me to go home tonight?

What worries me is that "ethics and integrity" are only in the 4th place. As far as I'm concerned, they should always be No. 1!

Quote: In general, I believe the process of solving a software development problem can be divided into four steps:
1. Identify the problem
2. Gather information
3. Iterate potential solutions
4. Test your solution
1. Post code on Stack Overflow
2. State how urgent it is
3. Copy and paste any given solution
4. Reply "It doesn't work"

‘Windows 10 Enterprise in S Mode,’ a locked-down version of Windows 10 S, will be available from Microsoft in April or May 2018. Does it work on a VT-100, or do I have to upgrade to the 220?
|

|

We run locally written, specialist software on ALL corporate PCs. None of these applications come from the App-Store so Win 10 Enterprise S will be useless on our several thousand PCs. Nothing new there!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
