I wonder how well this will work for gaming.

I'd say the lack of buzz surrounding HootSuite has to do with the fact that they are based on the West Coast. Whereas most of the media outlets tend to be more on the East Coast balancing their time between Waterloo, Toronto, and Montreal.

As long as you work on things that interests you, then just keep working at it. When I was in middle/high school, building forum communities from PHP and MySQL were all the rage. So I attempted to create my own community by buying a Linux

It should also be noted that Facebook chat works within Windows Live Messenger 2011 and you receive Facebook notifications (or birthday updates) from within Hotmail. So Microsoft has been working with Facebook for some time now.

And it looks like it's going to converge as a space race towards mobile video chat.

It's not blindly believing Microsoft to be a better ecosystem. This has nothing to do with the OS. This is about the fact that they have a whole network of professionals who are more likely than a startup to audit their systems and keep i

I don't think it's Zuckerberg. It's just that what they launched today was lackluster and merely a response to G+.

Under wiretapping laws, yes. But unlike some search warrants, they don't have to be presented to the person under investigation nor do the warrants have to be confirmed to be in use by authorities because that would compromise the investig

And even with mobile security like Lookout installed, we still can't be sure it completely protects Android devices.

On one hand, I like to jailbreak my iOS devices to have the extra power and freedom. But on the other hand, sites like jailbreakme.com really highlight just how terrible Apple's security is. Things like this really shouldn't happen and it

LAN syncing and multiple folder support is fairly compelling. 25 GB web storage sounds pretty good too considering it's free. Although personally I wouldn't use the web storage and would stick to the 5 GB.

Again, you're making this point based on heresay. Of all the Dropbox competitors and cloud storage solutions, I'd tend to trust Microsoft the most because they will likely have the security experts employed to audit their products. Or sim

No, I'm clearly talking about legal hacking. That's the whole point of "public interest".

Yes there is a time between discovery and patching but if you look at their competitors, Windows is much farther ahead in the security realm. Microsoft's whole security cycle is better defined and IT managers have a much easier time managi

There tends to be a lot of myths about Microsoft security particularly in the non-Windows using community. The fact of the matter is that Microsoft tends to be very good about security updates, disclosure of bugs and holes, and remains vig

Judging from the fact that he helped make twordsie, I wouldn't say he's exactly at level zero. Rather misleading.

I want to say my MBP since I can also get a VM of Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD. But since I spend most of my day at work, that unfortunately means Windows Desktop.

The interviewer should have asked what he thought of Stuxnet. I am very curious to hear what these 'hacktivists' think of white hats in the military and how they will try to weasel their way around an answer that justifies such military act

This is why I liked the older Android devices (as opposed to the new ones). Having physical buttons and a trackball were significantly better than both capacitive buttons and optical trackpads. Trackballs are significantly better than opt

Personally, I would like to see something that filters out languages I don't understand. Too often on Facebook my feed is filled up with posts in varying languages that I simply don't know and I would prefer them not being there.

Unfortunately I don't think they're poised to move very quickly within the next 2 years. Everyone knows that their QNX-based Blackberries are coming up for next year. But having friends inside the company working on QNX, they don't think

I think it's more that Google was hovering around from the start with the G1. So the improvements they made were incremental on that brand new platform but Microsoft and RIM would need a revolution to be able to catch up to the iPhone and

An executive of one company isn't likely going to complement another company. They're going to do everything in their power to downgrade products of their competition. I really don't think it makes a difference whether your friend worked
