It's all starting to smack of desperation on the part of the authorities. Hopefully common sense will kick in at some point, but for now it doesn't bode well for those in charge.

A sticking plaster on a haemorrhaging wound - and I'm hopeful the bleeding will continue. Matt Stoller from BIG is right, only jail time for executives guilty of breaking the Sherman Act will stop these monopolies now.

Oh excellent! I'd been putting off moving all our family WhatsApp groups to Telegram. Now I can actually justify the time it will take.

Call me cynical but I'm not convinced by Mr Gates or his foundation. Like many of us on here, I too lived through 'the Microsoft years', I watched Microsoft under his leadership effectively dominate their competition using fa

YouTube is a technology company, and deciding what is and what isn't acceptable speech is not their prerogative - that's what constitutions and law courts are for. Once they start down this censorship road there's no turning

"it’s time to rebalance the playing field" OK sure, but the author doesn't say how. She's involved in a whole bunch of initiatives to help the little guy, so surely she has a lot of experience to share?

Wow, I had no idea. I could've done with some back when I was a teacher - the chalk we were given in South Africa in the 90's was squeaky, dusty and was too light to fly true when you flicked it at an inattentive schoolboy

I'm sure there are many good uses for Hemingway, but we have to submit website maintenance emails to it and edit them until they pass before we're allowed to send them. And we also have to give our customers 2 weeks notice of upco

If you look closely you'll find that group is trying to draw attention to election irregularities. Facebook is not an arbiter of truth, it's a platform for staying in contact with others. And as such shouldn't have an opinion

Roboform - been using it since 2000-ish. It handles websites and Windows authentication prompts - both from web apps and native programs. Use it on Win 10 and Android

Our firewall guy thinks Palo Alto firewalls are really good and I don't dispute that they are. But I may just show him this tomorrow morning as, another perspective never hurts.

Does anyone remember Stardock's WindowBlinds from around the same time? I'm pretty sure it included a Mac theme in the installer? Or at the very least Stardock provided a place you could go to after installation to download more t

I couldn't disagree more. On the contrary, there needs to be a Hippocratic Oath for Management, Marketing and CEOs. Anything else will just be buck passing!

Disclaimer: I'm a South African living in the UK and yes, I know I'm generalising - excessively. Jolly Sarf Africans! Light-fingered larcenists - can't leave them alone with anything these days! ;-)

LinkedIn got me the job I'm currently in at this here publishing saltmine back in 2013, so I'm a little ambivalent about it - but only a little. Let's put it this way, in the beginning LinkedIn was useful - very useful, but a

Regardless of whether there are security flaws or not, I wouldn't install it. The Blob already has waaaay too much info on me. There's no way I'm voluntarily giving them more.

Adopting homeschooling as the way to educate your children involves a paradigm shift on a number of fronts. You switch to being a single income family. One parent, most usually the mother, gives up their career progression for the duration

Amen - just focus on being your child's parent, the rest is details. Children are a lot more resilient than we give them credit for, they will bounce back education-wise.

Not sure if this is local to just me (UK) but, when I try and load the site, it either 502s straight away or times out without loading. Anyone else seeing the same? edit: OK I see others are experiencing the same thing.

Really impressed they stuck at it, by the sounds of it there's still a lot of work to do. Hopefully it won't be another 50 years before we see it adopted at scale.
