Just as an FYI, pretty much nobodies AV detects anything of note anymore. How malware campaigns are run these days are heavily reliant on rebuilt executables pre-tested against AV engines. AV is more or less completely broken (even more tha

Seems a bit like a Yankees fan complaining bitterly about the press covering the National League too. It's not like there is any shortage of coverage about who is number one in tablets. There is obviously real competition for the #2-#5 slot

It's too bad that the people who perennially propose adaptive mesh radios as some sort of decentralized alternative to public wired networks never consult anyone that has actually worked with mesh on any scale. If they did they'd quickly lo

In the US, Virgin Mobile (Sprint MVNO) offers 300 minutes/2.5gb/unlimited for $35 (used to be $25) and T-mobile offers 100 minutes/5gb/unlimited for $30.

If it's a zero day vulnerability then the method to exploit it is already in the wild . Anyway, if this is anything like some of the previous vulnerabilities that chrome patched a few days before Adobe, it's just a case of Adobe's code goi

It seems more than any one specific CEO, the HP board has proven itself unfit to oversee the company. It's not incomprehensible that the best thing they could do for shareholder value and to protect their employees jobs would be breaking

any content that is DRM'd is also unique. In most cases this isn't true. The computation involved in keying media on the fly while it's being downloaded is not insignificant when considered in volume. The added pain of storing everyone's

the biggest win by far is media files and other large assets like game files or large data sets that many, many people will have duplicate copies of. Even with a pretty low installed base 98%-100% of people's iTunes storage will be deduped.

How long can groupon survive without more funding? The way their financials sounded, I doubt they could even carry on as they are currently through the end of the year. That's a lot of pressure in an economy that could be back on the ropes.
