The whole book is at the same site, just a level from the chapter referenced here: http://militera.lib.ru/research/suvorov12/

This is in its entirety a quote from the article. I think that should be indicated by quote marks at least.

This, very much. I often read my feeds while commuting, walking, waiting, etc. with a phone or a tablet. Then I read with one PC or another. If the reads wouldn't be synced, a lot of time would be spent just skipping the posts I'v

There is no way of delivering classic Windows apps (non-Metro, that is) through app store. That might be fine for consumer users in a couple of years if there's a decent offering of great Metro apps, but I doubt Visual Studio is ever g

Maybe the intent of this posting was to poke fun at the thinking behind the quotes, but at least I think that web plugins are something that shouldn't be encouraged. Java and ActiveX applets as well as Flash and Silverlight content suc

This is only true for the American populist definition of socialism. Here in Europe we usually talk about social democracy, where basic needs of people (healtcare, education, not starving) are addressed by the state, but one is free to form

There is USB passthrough in VirtualBox at least, though it's a bit shaky especially with Windows hosts.

What you should do is to encapsulate these apps to virtual machines with reduced-credential users, tight firewall settings, non-essential services disabled, etc. If possible, create a separate virtual storage medium for the application data

Unless there's some sort of "full feed copy" wiretap forwarding everything to a spy agency. Isn't this the way it's done in case of NSA and GCHQ, not by stealing archived traffic data off telecom servers?

This would be an excellent chance for Google et al. to just drop the permission of them reading Gmail users' e-mail from the terms of service. If they have no intention of doing it, why leave it open in the terms?

That seems likely. It would make the message clearer if this was explicit in the text.

According to Google [1], it was never meant to ship at that point as it was not ready for general public. There was some compatibility problems with many applications, so that is somewhat believable. [1] http://www.dailytech.com&

This feature is nowadays called Privacy Guard and it works so well that I have it on by default for all apps. With the exception of apps that actually need to read my contacts (say WhatsApp), I have not had to disable it for any application

It was an YC company by the way. EtherPad is among my favourite online collaboration tools. I guess no authentication and plain enough user interface make it a low-threshold choice for all sorts of short term collaboration efforts. I'v

Isn't it only natural that they sold a lot of Windows 7 PCs last year, as Windows 8 was only recently released?

Is there any kind of hardware acceleration for 3D graphics? If no, then those drivers are pretty much useless for gaming.

I don't think that a FSF certified Free software Linux distribution ships with that module, as that microcode blob is closed source.

On the other hand, one can create Sailfish-native Qt apps that run on Android and iPhone as well. I'm not sure if Qt iOS support is completely ready, but it is something to look forward.

I think there is wear leveling that's pretty similar to SSDs. If you use a filesystem without journaling, it shouldn't be an issue. If the wear leveling is good enough, it could be that even with journaling, there's no proble

I think that keeping Xamarin out of MS's hands is actually better for the ecosystem. It is very healthy that there are multiple independent but compatible implementations of the CLR and other tools so that everything is not tied to Mic

I wonder if AT&T would be ready for the telecom competition landscape in Europe. At least in Northern Europe, the competition is very fierce and the prices are quite low thanks to that. Looking at US mobile prices, I don't think th

Not necessarily. I'm just wondering why isn't Microsoft pulling some of the Apple tricks with Surface Pro if suspending some part of hardware really is responsible of OS X's better power economy. As others have pointed out in

That might explain the case of MacBook Air, but how come they don't do something similar with Surface Pro? It is their hardware, firmware and software - everything should be possible.
