This surely will hurt the reputation of Lynch. The other news reports have quotes saying in effect this was perpetrated by senior management and that the whistleblower who came forward is still at HP/Autonomy, which by inference seems to p

1) Newly funded companies have fresh pots of capital to invest in online marketing. The auction dynamic of most online marketing tools means a new entrant drives prices up for everyone. 2) Other new entrants have local advantages (existing

Any mass-scale business that is required to hold customers on their premises for hours at a time in a space-confined area is always going to be challenged with customer service. Combined with the modern consumer who is taught they're alway

Seems like some sort of coordination effort I'd have to guess. Perhaps for a region where Google traffic might normally be blocked, it's an alternative way to get a message in?

Restart != shutdown. Yes I read.

"Incidentally, if you want to perform a full “cold” boot (without the kernel being hibernated), simply select Restart from the shutdown menu or run shutdown /s /full /t 0." Why should it require a command line statement with three switches

Understood, but to fully _exploit_ the vulnerability one would need to actually execute more code than just triggering the vulnerability presumably.

She should clearly pursue this in small claims court in the UK. She should be able to do this with a foreign address even. Easy and effective. https://www.gov.uk/make-money-claim-online

Many PCs are patched now so there's no default autorun.inf (or similar) functionality. So you'd have to run a binary on it to trigger this exploit it seems. Doable of course, but one step harder.

Severity isn't that low. If you hand out a USB stick to a friend and they run a .exe on it, you could surely trigger this exploit invisibly. It's probably not a broad vector attack, but surely would fit very well into a spearphishing scen

Really feel sorry for the guy if he goes to jail even for a few hours. Google had this problem before in Italy and Turkey too IIRC. It ducks that a sales manager goes to jail for something entirely out of their control.

I'm not at liberty to post his jpg but a friend has posted a screen capture that's certainly got stuff that never would have made it to his wall.

Definitely seeing a bit of this. It's inbound messages only, not outbound, but there are some things here definitely not meant to be seen by some friends.

Why? Google Maps is excellent. I'm not sure they need "marketing" in any way.

At an extraordinarily high cost to the taxpayer. Well above what any rational body would have/should have paid for getting to this level.

Though the post is deleted now I suppose this is true. I have a dual-mode GSM/CDMA phone and WhatsApp fails when it switches between modes. The app stays the same so it's clearly polling the ESN (CDMA side) and IMEI (GSM side) to validate

To their credit, Fab.com is one of the few companies to have thought of international expansion somewhat early in their lifetime (~12 months). They've acquired in the UK and Germany to date. It may have helped that the CEO has lived in Ge
