That includes $250MM to dropbox in Q4. Imagine if they had closed in 2012 - the same statistic would show investments up like 40% or 50% quarter over quarter. It also doesn't include angels.

I'd be surprised if this ends up being exploited - from a practical perspective it'd be extremely high effort for comparatively little reward. Both platforms are ASLR now + no bundled scripting ability in tiff + manual work flow (ie you can

Only took a quick look at it, but I can't see any NOP sleds - and you'd probably need more room to reliably spray the heap anyway. My guess is that it isn't weaponized at all - it'd just cause memory corruption (but I don't have PS).

Why wouldn't they just email twitter explaining how to identify the spammers and including a list?

I have an older device with 256M installed that runs 2.2 and while it can slow down at times it does pretty well running opera, a mailer, navigation and google music streaming all in ram all on top of a bytecode vm. Lets not forget no swap

Do you really NAT all those meters though? It seems much more likely to me that you only have one or two specialized ALG's running. One to many NAT really makes an attackers life easier in a lot of ways - at least as far as computer network

Who has ever said IP6 didn't need firewalling? That sounds insane... And where is this IP6 NAT you speak of??

It's very hard to imagine Apple as a traditional MVNO where their brand would take all the hits for network quality and yet have little to no ability to impact things on the engineering side. There is a reason that there aren't premium MVNO

I think you make a good point, but it still leaves open the idea that groupon may have made these changes to combat a (perceived) weakness in the committee.

You're not really providing much oversight if you're only able to detect problems when they're pointed out to you. Enron's audit committee was later criticized for its brief meetings that would cover large amounts of material. In one meeti

For what it's worth, these two were both on the audit committee which was criticized in the wake of the earnings restatements last month: "Groupon needs a new audit committee with much more financial expertise," said James Post, a manageme

Just got through scouring the pepper 19 docs for any mention for how this was done. Exciting to see this kind of functionality enabled, but apprehensive about chrome apps developing into an android style permission nightmare. Perhaps if the

Probably for the same reason that marketing done in a foreign language with poor translations or literal translations of idioms is received poorly: it identifies you as an outsider and may evoke shades of exploitation.

Mark to mystery is a pretty amusing term but I've never once heard it before - is it really something that gets said?

I don't really understand how you can trust iaas from hp after the board has shown how willing they are to freak out and cancel projects that don't immediately get traction.

Manufactured controversy is a popular marketing tactic, no? If I actually had a problem with something a friend of mine was doing the last thing I'd be doing is writing an open letter about it based on a couple of 30 second promos. Unless,

The author claims his company can detect this kind of click fraud (indeed, the whole article is about how they did) through proprietary methods. If you're an advertiser it's likely this behavior is about to become more common.
