Over the course of a month and a half, “Kova,” real name Rana Mahal, convinced at least 25 people to join a game studio that was not a registered company, and develop a video game to which he did not own the rights, in exchange for no pay. You can fool some of the people some of the time (at least for six weeks)
NSFW warning: as you might expect in an article about developers and these kind of events, naughty words are spoken.

What, are they saying that cloud solutions might not be the bastion of security and vanguard of new tech that they were sold as?
Are they idiots, or what?

They fire off a flare of warning and then don't inform you of who the culprits are. That qualifies as entirely useless and a waste of time to read.
This is not aimed at you Kent. It's at the authors of that and those that fired off the flare.

'Struth, and I had the same complaints. I finally dug around to find the actual report[^], and it wasn't that much more helpful. Just an advert with hand-wavy warnings, that only they can save you from. Buggers.

As end of support for the still-popular Windows 7 draws near, risks of unpatched operating systems are likely to be a significant security concern in the near future. If it ain't broke, keep using it until it gets hacked?
I'm assuming a lot of those are in closets/attached to some hardware not attached to the internet.

Time and time and time again it has been proven that the biggest IT security risk is people.
The OS doesn't make a blind bit of difference, if some idiot decides to open a nasty attachment in an e-mail -- which is how the by-far (up around wishful SLA percentage figures) hugest number of infections is caused.
All this BS about patching is a bloody joke, to anyone who knows anything at all about security.
It's users who need educating, not OSes that need "updating" to ever more unusable versions (hey, winio, guess whom I'm looking at!).
And it's antivirus apps that need to be supported and kept up to the latest versions, not icons and emoji collections.

We have several still going here and no interest in replacing them. They work fine just as they are. One key factor to that : windows updates were disabled a long time ago.

The 2.80 release is dedicated to everyone who has contributed to Blender. To the tirelessly devoted developers. To the artists inspiring them with demos. To the documentation writers. To the Blender Cloud subscribers. To the bug reporters. To the designers. To the Code Quest supporters. To the donators and to the members of the Development Fund. Blender is made by you. Thanks! Major release from them. I was waiting for this one. For Animation fans.

What about the icon designers?
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 meant why didn't the release page you quoted thank the icon designers for their heroic work in making everything look randomly a bit different than the last version.

A crystal ball presentation on the future of application security at the Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit this year caught the eye of us in the software security space. I predict hacks. And cracks. And stacks of whacked racks.
Oh wait. It's Gartner. So the opposite of all that.

It's all about the connectivity between particles, just like mapping social networks. Because like the Higgs Boson, good ideas on Twitter only last a femtosecond before decaying?
And the resulting particles are all toxic?

Why too many tech companies under-invest in QA testing and what can be done about it. Oh! *TESTING* before release? Why has no one thought of this before?

Because new icons...
(Bad/no testing aggravates me to no end; having a good tester trying to prove my code is sh*t really is a wonderful thing. My goal, of course, is to prove s/he's worthless as a tester.)

Users will still find something not working as it should. Don't underestimate the power of the clueless morons that randomize the usage of your app.
