It's easy to act as if Google, Apple or MS came up with obvious solutions... Samsung, Google, Apple, HTC and Microsoft are very well funded and mature players. They all contribute a lot to technology, If they have a valid patent, it de

One company spends billions researching, building consumer products, getting feedback, developing software and interfaces for over a decade. Another company (or two, or twenty) comes along, builds off of that and spends billions on advertis

I find it hard to agree with a lot of this, but it'd obviously be someone who's written a lot of code, thought a lot about how to write code, and reads a lot of code - even if we didn't know who it was. There's a lot to

I laughed too. He makes a good point about the amount of indentation in code. As someone who spends most of their time in JavaScript, I see how hard it would be to fit our code to this, and at the same time how much we'd all benefit if

I think you have a good thing going here with or without questions. I was half joking. It might lead to "shopping lists" which is what I find is the greatest hurdle when hiring people. I need someone who can do what I need them to

Costs are so high as these become more challenging, seems like Socialization with subsidy of incentive-based private funding (bonds, VCs) would be a better model.

I have nothing bad to say about this. Does it take into account relationships between tags? Like if someone puts in CSS3 will it put CSS in the listing? Is there going to be a "questions" section? :P

If the NSA buys an exploit in Windows, does the NSA's contract preclude VUPEN from selling that exploit to Microsoft?

Guys was referring to the companies. "Ours" meaning private businesses and individuals. I'm sorry if my comment implied "vulnerabilities from the NSA" these are vulnerabilities in everything else, being sold to th

Sounds like part of my summary's issue was grammar/word choice. I definitely understand the problem now and will be more careful. New summary: The governments (plural) hire these companies (as opposed to "guys") and may

That doesn't matter, people will up or down vote. It was, indeed a question loaded with my preexisting bias, but also a genuine question.

Cool, what's a better summary? Edit: Thank you for the feedback.

I just want to make sure I have this right. The government hires these guys and then keeps the vulnerabilities in our software and our businesses' software secret? They then use this to launch attacks and record our communications and

I don't really mind, but I see why people do. What bothered me is when I opened an incognito browser to look at Home Depot, then moved to Amazon, the latter was showing me a bunch of tools and MAN STUFF (weights, leather jackets, etc).

That's a really important aspect, are desktops going the route of developer only? (Non-web) Designers and other white collar probably don't need it, but they use machines that wouldn't notice the difference... With FFOS, Andr

Funny story came to mind: You ever have a client accidentally hit F12, then tell your boss that your product was broken because there was a weird thing taking up half the screen? Seriously: My guess would be download size, performance, main

This would probably start the trend of the dev features being reduced in regular browsers, I'd guess. But you're right no one is taking it away yet.

Anecdotal evidence: I work in an office with a lot of our companies non-technically inclined folks, and I would say: Yes, that is exactly how they feel. They want one password, and they want all their bookmarks and customization exactly as

Reply to self: Of course, as relationships grow, we know our clients better and they trust us to make the right decision or fix it quickly on production.

This clause sounds more like it has to do with changing features that a developer may see as an improvement and a client may see as a "holy crap, what happened, now I have to retrain my staff." We're agile, working with estab

What if they find out that you just linked to a "deep-link?" Seriously though, is it made unenforceable when the usage by both parties (linkedin and users) actually encourage this? (Share this on facebook!) It sounds like a &quot

I wasn't really referring to the generally people, I meant "imminent to businesses."

But as the threat becomes imminent, the appearance of "externalized" cost diminishes and the value on protecting those resources increases and they are no longer external. We're already seeing this as several big companies an
