Yes, I also think that their decisions over the past few years are pointing to a real renaissance within the organization, and they are starting "again" to focus on their core strengths.

Could someone post a one or two paragraph TL;DR for people in here who don't have the time right now to read the entire piece? You can reasonably assume we do already a) know what tcrypt is, and b) know about the discontinuation annou

That is a indeed a plus. Indeed in the gparent comment I only wished to point out 1 way in which the organization could improve should they wish. Getting open source design part-sourced, assembled and then shipped in volume levels is stil

Firstly, only kudos to them for having designed the Zero in the first place, and I'm sure they intended it to be available in volume this many months after release. However, until they can reach volume on a major released project (e.g.

I would say that Google's main goal here is in expanding their training data set, as opposed to creating a new revenue stream. If it hurts competitors (e.g. Nuance) that might only be a side-effect of that main objective, and likely t

And wouldn't it be ironic if the "outside party", referenced in the article, was Apple itself. Maybe through several layers of indirection. Something to think about, but most probably not the case.

If the Pentagon had indeed bailed on BD, it is possible that they know that their own research is safely near par or even further along than that of BD. While they would have otherwise funneled money over to GOOG regardless, they possibly

At one point at least, people surmised that atomic weapons would lead to greater success in peace-keeping throughout the world. Not so sure it's turning out that way.

To be fair, the way Cook went to media with this is not at all an order of magnitude better than the way Pichai did. Consider that if Cook had wanted to make the statement more official and tie his company to this stance, he could have very

Interesting, what if the security on the device was reduced purposely and in a manageable way, in exchange for one of the several steps or keys to decryption existing only in an online blockchain of some sort?

No, what I am assuming is the company will be compelled to provide the data on the phone without the potential for lock=out or erasure during brute-force. Then, in all likelihood state-of-the-art methods in brute-forcing AES (with the best

I agree that you do make a point. There is really no way for us to know what is to come. Sometimes we think we are looking at a square, but it really is a cube and we are just unable to look beyond are current perspective for whatever rea
