Not technically bricked bit needed hard reset. It is pretty interesting that what seems like a false positive integrity signal on your Google account appears related. I am sure some will hate this but the elephant in the room is embedded

Why chance with Firefox? Google has Chrome already safe and clearly on top of things. This is not a static thing as in there will be others with parts of the crypto tool chain or maybe stack?

Excellent article. Last year both Mac sales and Windows sales declined YoY. Only one "desktop" grew. ChromeOS is Linux base and grew over 35% YoY. Still small numbers but is now #2 in the US and growing quickly. "Chro

Well this is really impressive. Now maybe not as much as Borland full turbo Pascal environment in 32k in the old days but anyone worked on one of these chips you have crazy little resources to work with.

Anyone find it interesting the author had a bad experience with Amazon but titles the article with Google and he has a problem with company integrity?

Same reason as the peanut butter jar because far easier to find. But did have to explain to wife when we married.

A very long time ago and coming from VMS a big reason preferred BSD over Sys V was non blocking sockets. Now that was over 20 years ago but now going away?

Plus Google has much broader view and data to secure Chrome well beyond FF is going to be able to accomplish. Plus Google has far more to loose.

Our school district has moved to Google sheets for kids grades and I am blown away how well it fits with this use case.

Totally agree on Google Sheets. I love the connectivity of sheets and the best application I have seen is grades at the school district when you have a lot of kids. It is so easy for me and my wife

I would think ultimately it was Android that was the nail.

It is not close to equivalent. But I do want to get a better feel for if Google really has figured how to do basically the impossible. I want to see if this truly scales horizontally but of it does then competitors better hope for a muc

Containers use the Linux kernel. How does a Linux container run native on Windows? Are the entry points mapped? How does Windows enable shared read between containers? With Linux it is the dir path and then inodes. How does Windows

> That's an interesting way of looking at it. Docker also came with a way to do things. Jails you were still responsible for having it set up correctly (though you could tar them which was nice). Separate kernel and OS is ideal for

Linux runs all of Android which is the most common OS today. But it also runs the biggest clouds in terms of infrastructure. Google and Amazon are completely built on Linux. Linux also runs 95% of the super computers in the world. As

To me the separation of kernel and OS with Linux versus all together with BSD makes the container solution cleaner. Take Google that is rumored to be using the same kernel in their cloud, ChromeOS and Android. They concievably could have th

It has the Linux kernel you just bring the GNU or whatever you need. But Google now supports containers on ChromeOS so if access you can just run in a container and the use Android X Windows server on same box. If Google would gives this

Not true on Apple selling a record amount of Macs. Apparently they added 7 days to the quarter versus a year before and therefore Mac sales declined again. For 2016 Mac sales also declined compared to 2015. Apple Mac sales declining

Google also owns a piece of Snap through their venture arm. Plus I would think Snap will want to stay close to Google for access to their advertising exchange. We are quickly getting down to just two advertising exchanges Google and Fac

Do realize Apple did add 7 days to the quarter this year compared to 2015. Apple started quarter on Sept 25 and ended on Dec 31 in 2016 or 97 days versus their 2015 only 90 days. Apples to apples the Mac declined as did iPhones.

In the US. Our school does one day a week for the gifted kids. I have volunteered at the school and love the program. Only issue is it fair to the other kids? You get in based an IQ test.

Apple was over $130 almost two years ago and is $120 today so the idea that Apple is doing from an investor standpoint is not true. Take Google today like many others the stock is the highest it has ever been.

Google voice is rumored to be getting a major refresh. Will we get the new translate capabilities built-in to Google Voice in real time. Basically it would be the universal communicator. I do not need the functionality personally but I wa

2016 Nielsen for popular apps had Google Maps #4 for all apps. There were no other mapping apps on the list this year. Not even Apple maps so talking about Google maps as the universal solution makes sense, IMO. This article refers to 201

Since Windows phone has such a low % of users and then expense in supporting some thing as complicated as Google maps it would make sense to focus on the two. With Android and iOS they can hit 90%+ of users.

Depending on your use case would also consider a Chromebook. Purchased son an Acer 14 and love this laptop and want one for myself.
