US CERT is NOT an intelligence agency. Very misleading title.

As a reporter, I can only say that EULA makes me want to start digging in that database.

I think you meant to write 'spouse,' not wife. Unless you assume every entrepreneur is male.

Zuckerberg's answers were really bizarre (though I appreciate what he was saying about Silicon Valley, which is a reaction to his belief there are too many tech employees who don't commit to a long term vision.) But bizarrely, he said 1) he

Thanks very much for linking to the original story. The author, David Kravets, did a bang-up job on it. (I edited it). And while I'm glad Mike Masnik of Techdirt reblogged it, I wish the OP had followed the link to the originating story, wh

No, my point is simpler than that. The linked post is a lame rehash of the "Twitter is for self-centered people talking about mundane crap" criticism, with the twist that it's targeted at hipsters. The commenter suggested that hit too close

Actually, not in the slightest, which you'd know if you'd bothered to go any further than just my hacker news bio - say checking my Twitter feed - before dashing off an ad hominem attack. No, I thought the post was boring, poorly written an

Both the lawyers and Soltani deny any working relationship, and it's not clear what proof KISSmetrics has beyond timing. But correlation is not always causation, and KISSmetrics is putting themselves at risk of a libel suit if they don't ha

Jeremy, sorry but you are mistaken. The report -- http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1898390 -- was technically correct. In fact, it's KISSmetrics that's distorting what the report said. Shah writes "Mr. Soltani’s paper sp

What came out in the logs isn't relevant to Manning's defense, insofar that the logs are in the hands of the prosecution and so would be given to Manning's lawyer, irregardless. The same goes for Assange. And nothing in the logs rules out t

by rsingel 15y ago
Where in Wired.com's reporting is there any narrative that Assange directed Manning? Your statement in the logs would somehow save Assange from a U.S. grand jury is laughable. And it's a very thin thread to try to weave a tapestry that Wire

Someone recently wrote that you know you are in a bubble when reporters start their own startups. Maybe that should be revised to be "when reporters start their own venture funds." (that said, this ain't the same as the last tech bubble, an

Why is this cyber "warfare" and not just another way of spying - something all countries do without it being an act of war? The only thing we've seen close to "cyberwar" is Stuxnet and that was most likely the U.S. and Israel.

I'm already a Prime customer -- and a Netflix subscriber. Amazon's "free" category for Prime movies is thin - very thin. And I'm afraid Netflix warped my brain with subscription fee -- it seems exorbitant now to pay $3.00 to watch a single
