Security researchers have discovered a new exploitation technique that they say can bypass the kernel protection measures present in the Windows operating systems. As the tables turn, so does my stomach
"Furthermore, since the concept of page tables is also used by Apple and the Linux project, macOS and Linux are, in theory, also vulnerable to this technique, albeit the researchers have not verified such attacks, as of yet."

CEO Satya Nadella knew the culture at the world's largest software maker needed a fix. Employees and investors are sold. Now he's got to convince the rest of us. It's your uncle's. Or perhaps that third cousin, twice removed

Bing’s front-end stack is written predominantly in managed code layered in an MVC pattern. Most of the business logic code is written as data models in C#, and the view logic is written in Razor. "Eat your own dogfood"

Back in the day Bing was one (only?  ) place where F# was seriously used. Wondering if they switched to C#...

A security flaw in a pacemaker made by Medtronic makes it possible for hackers to take control of the device and deliver malware to the computers implanted in someone’s chest. "You make my heart beat faster, and that's all that matters"

Some claims reflect extreme differences in estimated values. In one appeal filed in 2015, Apple said that a cluster of properties in and around Apple Park in Cupertino that the assessor valued at $1 billion was worth just $200. In another, property that the assessor valued at $384 million was, in Apple’s view, worth $200, according to an appeal application. Wow. Just Wow! So they will sell it to the public for that price???

Just turn it around quickly, of course if apple says it is worth $200, then you should be paying almost no tax anyway.

I'll pay Apple 100 times their price! I'm feeling generous today; make that a 1000! Think of the deal they'll get.

I believe that if we are to solve our security problems, then we must build software with security in mind right from the start. Oh good: it's the language's fault, not mine

I don't think I can possibly agree less.

The last few Windows Insider preview builds of Windows 10 have offered few new features and have instead focused on fixing bugs. 19H1. I am inspired.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Engineers have developed printable metal tags that could be attached to everyday objects and turn them into "smart" Internet of Things devices. Just don't remove the tags (under penalty of law)
"LiveTag currently cannot work with a WiFi receiver further than one meter (three feet) away, so researchers are working on improving the tag sensitivity and detection range." Dang. I have one four feet away at the moment.
