Are we sure that this isn't just an oversight, or they haven't gotten around to updating the Apps pricing page yet? I mean, it's not like Google has consistency problems across all of their properties. However, I did the sam

FWIW, I did this for the combo update. The SHA1 checksum on the Apple page, c06a63982b522e43997a05cedc04b0bdb1a10207, matches the file, and pkgutil reports Package "OSXUpdCombo10.9.2.pkg": Status: signed Apple Software

By "cast," you mean "tell the Chromecast to fetch/display content", rather than "show streaming video of my device's screen"? This is part of what I'm asking: I don't get the usage model.

Out of curiosity, what have you been using your Chromecast for? I have drunk the Apple Kool-Aid: I have iOS devices, AppleTVs, and a home server running iTunes. Admittedly, the iTunes server is serving video and music that is ripped from l

That report does not have data about individual manufacturers. Perhaps Google considered that to be lawsuit bait, or perhaps they considered it to be proprietary. Either way Backblaze's post has actionable information about which man

Whiny? Should everyone accept whatever site operators choose to shove at them? PBS is the wrong comparison; Google is a for-profit company. In the cold light of capitalism, this is a game theory problem. As a site operator, what ads can

Google could prepend the ad in such a way that it appears to be part of the main video data stream, so that the ad is impossible to block on a URL basis. I could write userland software to automatically skip ahead 30 seconds on any YouT

In the case of challenge/response with a single 128-bit block, I think ECB would be just fine. I can't imagine a car key needing to send multiple blocks (thus necessitating CBC, etc.). The larger point here is that most keys probably are
