One of the early innovations of Bloomberg was to totally automate certain classes of news story, driven entirely by data. As you can see from spending any length of time browsing Google Finance, the number of this class of stories in the pr

From the perspective of the company's overall performance there is no question that just because some product was an acquisition is a minor detail, it's of course their prerogative to make use of resources on-hand as they choose. However fr

A desktop expects input devices, yes, but also there has been a wonderful need to accommodate disabled people for decades prior to the whole tablet thing, and so all modern desktops have great support for auxiliary input devices, and in the

Windows has supported gestures and handwriting recognition for years, and the Pro comes with a stylus. To say a keyboard is critical seems a gross overstatement. As for use cases, how about: it's a tablet, without the regular complexities o

It seems Google's sole contribution to the PAAS wars is to keep Amazon's pricing in check. Does anyone here actually use Compute Engine? With Google's customer support story, I couldn't touch it with a barge pole. I was an early convert to

It's OK, we all give bad advice sometimes. You clearly just advocated replacing SSH with a custom HTTP server that effectively always requires root, and furthermore to advocate users mess with this root-running code. I don't understand why

Surprised to read this from a security guy. 1) discard time-tested crypto implementation 2) write your own. 3) run it as root so it can read sensors 4) feel safer Everything aside, most of these colo machines are set to netboot in order to

You cannot simultaneously crow "hurr, DRM is broken!" and act all smug about this discovery. Perhaps the original developer, like you, understood this, and did the absolute bare minimum necessary to fulfil commercial obligations, all the wh

I'd consider paying for a clone of Gmail classic, but their new UI sucks IMHO. Another compelling feature I'm looking for is the ability to self-host. It's clear that many governments and cloud service providers don't consider hosted data "

There's insufficient data here to show the new title resulted in the article score. It's a common trait on these kinds of sites, where an article's chance of "success" is massively improved after receiving only a very small (2-5) number of

Can you imagine the size of the CSS spec if any old brainless mutt could add to it on a few weeks' notice for the past 15 years? At which point, creating a fresh browser implementation quickly becomes insurmountable.
