The way this headline reads, it sounds like NSA could, at any moment, flip a switch and _poof_ there's a backdoor in your crypto. I'd prefer to see some deeper explanation that gets us from "NSA" to "backdoor in y

I sense a new explanation for Spiderman's webs on the next reboot. But seriously, are we anywhere close to using this stuff for human benefit? Or near learning how these worms do what they do? This sounds fabulously awesome.

The frequency with which "hot new things" appear isn't every week. I'd venture a guess and say one weekend every two months. I don't know where you live, but here the weather isn't perfect for 52 weekends of th

I'm a bit older than the author. Every time I feel like I'm "out of touch" with the hip new thing, I take a weekend to look into it. I tend to discover that the core principles are the same, this time someone has added a

Have you seen Swift Playgrounds for iOS? I wonder, seriously, if that's not the start of Apple's attempt to put software dev on iOS. No, it's certainly not capable now, but in five years?

I recently got two iPads with a data plan on Verizon. I'm absolutely paranoid about overages. First thing I did, right out of the box, was pick through all the data-related settings. Wifi assist? No thanks. I'm paranoid enough abo

They weren't just making hardware. Psystar was pre-installing OS X. That's what got them into trouble.

They've been aggressive about going after companies attempting to resell OS X. I doubt they could legally challenge building and selling hardware capable of running OS X. I don't see anything indicating that they're providing

"Reuse" of SSNs is not a 'leak' of privacy by government. They're not the ones giving SSNs to whomever asks.

The Linux kernel codebase is pretty flexible. Are there really changes that had to take place to put the kernel into a drone? If not, there's nothing for DJI to release. Isn't there already a mechanism for handling binary-only ker

I have yet to see a 'working' crosswalk button in my nearest (non-NYC) metropolis. This would be because every light-controlled intersection I traverse on foot is on a programmed loop. Reliably, the crosswalk lights go to "wa

"Myth"? You have certainly not debunked ChuckMcM's detailed hypotheses about the reasons a placebo device exists. San Francisco, Los Angeles and (presumably all of) Japan are not indicative of much of the rest of the planet.

Neither Apple nor Sony have monopolies. Their respective offerings have plenty of competition. This is why "nobody seems to care." Don't like Apple's walled garden? Go elsewhere.
