Because there was no "evidence" that the surveillance was real. Now people are connecting the dots. Even if the connections aren't real.

One sentence from the piece. "If federal security agencies can’t do vast data sweeps, they will inevitably revert to the older, more intrusive eavesdropping methods." 1. Eavesdropping does not disappear when vast data sweeps are a

You are on a site called "Hacker News". What if by some strange reason you are suspected of some kind of computer related crime. Does it help your case if you visit sites like "Hacker News"? Do you actually want to spend

The point is that any company can sign a rootkit (for the price of $99) to run on windows machines with our without SecureBoot. The best MS can do is to revoke certificates of rogue companies but by then the damage could be done.

No it won't be harder for the entertainment industry to create rootkits. You just buy a proper certificate and sign it like any other driver developer. Secure boot does nothing to protect the users from the entertainment industry. And if we

You saw that AMD announced hUMA? So AMD APU's will have the advantage again if they land about the same time.

I'm being pragmatic. One of the goals of the Go language is to be an alternative for C++. It has ended up an alternative to scripting languages and failing to attract the programmers who use C++ the most. http://commandcenter.blogspot.se/2

by JanneVee 14y ago
Why should all programmers try to get rid of C++? IMHO as the programming community should try to enhance the craft. To write better code irregardless of language(including C++).

Well that is an aspect of the issue. But the issue that Carmack points out is that: if somebody has patented it does not matter that the competition does not copy, they hire their own dozen of experts and spend their own millions they still

There is an explanation for why also. I recently downloaded Simpsons: tapped out. The "game" wouldn't start for two days because it couldn't connect to the Orion servers. I'm not going to spend real money on in-game donuts if it refuses to

Apple can charge almost whatever they want for the memory as long as the competition is lagging behind on the software. It will probably be better in a couple of years. I'm buying a Nexus 7 instead for multiple reasons and the memory pricin

Perhaps, but we don't know yet. We don't know if "Hondo"(AMD) will compete with "Clover Trail"(Intel) for Win 8 tablets because they might really be competitively priced. Further we don't know why those two are Windows 8 only currently. The

It is not that Apple go out of their way to help their devs out. But buying a computer and buying a dev tool license are two different things requiring two different mindsets(think utilisation). And $500 for VS is the lowest end of the paid

I've said in other places and I'll say it again. One of the problems is that Microsoft also takes a lot of money for their dev tools. The express editions are limited with the things that can help your apps shine. AFAIK profiling is only av

To answer the question in the headline. No, the company and brand has always been "arrogant" and occasionally "entitled". Just look at the iPhone 4 antenna problem. This is the same thing, they lose airports and train stations. Then they te

Nice one, giving it to the nordic countries first means that they can reduce the number of high-bandwidth seeders for their content on Bittorrent. At the same time profit from it.
