I'm more curious about how they hacked into the SEC database? Did they use an email trojan? Exploit an existing flaw or backdoor? If they did this via e-mail, who did they send the mail to?

It's interesting that Amazon Web Service (AWS) makes them profitable, NOT the e-commerce business. Like many others, I buy plenty of stuff there, but without their cloud infrastructure, there would be no Amazon. In fact, they found a

Brick and Mortar retail has to adapt and change with the technology and the times. Sears COULD have integrated retail with online shopping IF they remembered to focus on what ONLINE couldn't deliver. Brick and Mortar retail isn'

How would you write a program to use these exploit? Unless I'm mistaken, I'm under the impression you have to talk directly to the processor through the kernel in order to do any of these exploit. You would have to write the cod

Depends on what model you use for the AI and in what field. With ML you have a model that dictates your constraints and how it applies what it learns. If you have an AI that models let's say Hannibal and his tactics on a battlefield, w

Ease of use and friendliness of the user interface is what the spirit of Apple Computers is all about. If I were to guess Jobs might be focusing on if he were alive would be the convenience and ease of use of Apple products. I think voice

It doesn't take much for a "darling" social media or dotcom company to become a thing of the past. If my memory serves me correctly, before Google, there was AltaVista https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AltaV
