As a french, I get very strange feeling reading comments here. Germany is presented as an example by French gov for it's better industry (presidential elections are in May ). Does that means that Germany is not better, or that France is eve

These days, I'm worrying more about lobbies and gov trying to pass laws to give them larger inspection power about what citizens do, than about apps and services leaking random data. At worse companies will treat me as a product, gov can tr

The copyright issue is at an edge of what allows the the market to work. Until the internet, maximizing profit and maximizing value was more or less the same thing. That's not true anymore : when I copy something I'm actually creating value

At some point it should make sense for Mozilla to support Bing : Mozilla is here to bring a better internet, and there can only be a better internet with competition. MS is losing tons of money for operating Bing ; there is a risk that they

MS should really make constructor pay a premium to be allowed to install all that crap. Given their margins they would think twice. They are jeopardizing the windows platform.

I'm not sure that this what saved Apple. If they were losing billions, 150 millions wouldn't have saved them. It was just a protection measure to buy the trust of the board. What saved Apple was good products ipod and especially iphone, and

I worked with the Windows QA of XBox for a while and it was totally awesome to have super detailed information on bugs, where they occured and how often, with core dumps and stacks in case of crashes. Users and bosses thinks they have done

If all you need is to trap a few functions Intel published a paper on how to intercept API call. It can be very useful if you need to fix some function inside a DLL you load, modify it's behavior or log calls for debugging. There is a lot o

I agree, I was actually surprised that MS didn't approach Firefox with a better offer right now. It makes senses now that I know there is a contract with a expiration. Larger park means more advertiser interest for Bing. It would even be mo

Except if you consider that Branson is actually the CEO of his empire. He seems to draw the line of what products needs to be. Telling the story is the CEO job and he seems to be in charge here. I'm referring to some letter send to the virg
