Excusing the originality inherent in the idea of a laptop form factor "phone extension" device that plugs into your phone via MHL, of course. What would you have it look like? Thinner? Thicker? Less metal? More metal? Disband the

I was recently bitten by the Freelancer/vWorker acquisition in this regard! I became "vw9916640" and had–to my knowledge–no password. This did not stop their unsubscribe form from prompting for the aforementioned unknown&#x2F

You see "fugly", I see "an application that looks like iOS 7 applications tend to look." The incidence of both of these may be on the uptick, but that's no reason to toss out abject insults. It's a data-driven

They serve no purpose, except proving that file formats not starting at offset 0 are a bad idea. Au contraire–they are a wonderful idea. If, say, a polyglot pdf+executable could gain code execution enough to execute itself as

The problem is that it's not just ^D on every boot, it's "press space twice in a thirty-second window and it will unceremoniously wipe all your data without a timeout." This will happen the moment you hand your computer

The takedown request outlined in the article contains a reference to VLC as distributed by a popular torrent tracker, and not VLC itself. While this is still overstepping the boundaries of copyright, it is disingenuous to say that HBO asked

You would still need a way to get your code running in another process; simply replacing the implementations of methods in your own application would not cause them to change system-wide.

Of particular hilarity is that swiping left-to-right on the Now Playing screen did in fact do this on prior versions.

It is also not even in the same category of things as the Mutator.

And Firefox continues the inexorable march towards Chromeness by removing the actual title of the page from the window chrome. Don't get me wrong, I prefer Firefox. This just strikes me as wrong; the rest of the new UI is fine.

There were certainly other ways they were trying to screw over option holders (lit. employees ), too. (EDIT: Source: Prior working relationship with the company. Fought "tooth and nail" against this Verified ID junk.)

I think the entire ensuing discussion and a small part of this followup article point to the fact that at the time at which he exploited the device, the kernel source was unavailable, as well as that flashing a new boot image is only use

The sidebar, permanently-fixed and consuming more than half of the screen, makes this blog completely and utterly unusable on a mobile device - that is, unless you're attempting to find the author's twitter or send him an e-mail. EDIT: Addi

Singling out Firefox isn't particularly fair: Chrome has the Content Settings panel (which allows you to disable images and javascript), Safari lets you disable javascript, and IE certainly did both, at least historically. This article just
