I don't understand why. Wouldn't prior art protect them in this case? They could just show a judge they had invented the idea earlier.

LibreSSL seemed to be pulling ahead with two of the OpenSSL vulnerabilities not applicable. It irks me that OpenSSL would keep a vulnerability from the LibreSSL team since August. I hope people using OpenSSL will begin to switch over now. L

80M dollars a year and you get to control the future of the internet. It seems like it would be worth paying this if you were a large corporate or goverment, especially Google with its need to control the default search engine. Especially c

Agree that the power required for a home is variable and so it is a more complex measure but I think that something that can "power 1 million homes" means more to the average person in a measurable way than "XYZ GW".

An OS X web server... As another comment mentioned OS X is hindered by the fact they refuse to use GPL 3 code http://meta.ath0.com/2012/02/05/apples-great-gpl-purge/ . This results in their userspace code

I bought a kit from 23andMe a few years back and was quite keen to get information on my genetics and health factors. However, I realised by submitting my DNA to them, it would probably go into global dataset for law enforcement. I was ok t

I just had a look at the storage on my iPhone and saw I had used 4.9 GB on a 64 GB phone. I'm sure that Apple has data showing that this type of usage makes up a decent percentage of users. Not sure why I use so little. I take photos b
