Or it could be a power issue brought on by this little bigger than average blizzard that will hit the Boston area the hardest where, incidentally, Akamai is located. But sure, couple of script kiddies might be responsible as well. It's

Don't you see any problem with the silence in terms of safety? There is a reason bicycles need to have a bell. Because these you also cannot hear when they approach you. Although, it would be funny seeing a Tesla with a nice little bel

I think it is not so much the legacy code that is the problem. I think it is the fact that more and more features are being introduced and many seem to have effects on each other in a way apple has not foreseen. Like the Wifi issue seems to

This sounds almost exactly what the GEMA is doing in Germany in regards to music. They get to collect money for songs being made public. Prime example in the digital age is now youtube. And they also have something called the GEMA assu

I still haven't got a clue what needs to be done if I used a component with, say MIT license which in turn uses a dependency lib that is LGPL licensed. That components vendor of course then has to make the source of the LGPL dependency

Okay, what about copyrights? I have already seen logos used on TV shows being put on a shirt where the profits all go to the owner of the campaign. Somehow I doubt the network that own the show or the shows creators themselves would not hav

Then people should spend an additional minute thinking about what they are going to do and if that actually has reason for success. Developing a calculator that sits in the NOTIFICATION area of an OS does not strike me as thought out. Esp

No, I'm also in Germany, got the new site right away. Opened amazon.de in another tab to compare the changes made. Now we'll see how long it takes until amazon.de changes as well.

and meanwhile, something seemingly "uncuil" like DuckDuckGo is still around and is being included as an optional search engine in most modern browsers. One really can't predict what makes the cut in the end based on name alon

I recently found this: # snow leopard theme for 10.9 Mavericks http://rhubarb-leaf.deviantart.com/art/SnowLeopard-theme-v2-... I hope something like this is possible on Yosemite at some point in the future.

Which is also why, I think, the F1 games that are out there are severely lacking. Especially all the circus around the race seems to be an afterthought at best. What I want to be able to experience in such a game/simulation is not ju

It is the part of the CEO that really gets me. Was the employee in the wrong? Certainly. But the way the CEO handled this is just god awful. When you see a pissed of shopper going off on a sales person, the sales person knows they have to s

Congrats on downvoting a legitimate reply. If this is what people around here do once they get this ability I shouldn't even bother writing anything. And it is still people behaving as a child when they should pay for education that wi

It still seemed petty when that "biggest gap of all" has a monetary value of about 20 bucks a week. For a higher education, mind you. I am willing to bet that the average student tends to spend more over the weekend in various nig

Looking forward to the next windows. Windows 360. Oh no, Windows 365. Yeah, that's better. Comes bundled with Office 365 and you have to rent it for a monthly fee. And if you are behind with a payment, the thing refuses to boot or will

If that were true it would show exactly how messed up the Windows kernel is. To drag compatibility from 1995 around is just messed up if it is linked to the "Product Name". Not the kernel version or even the working title. nope. T

>Is this really the best we can do Perhaps in places like github. With central versioning systems where the server is under our control we simply run daemons that check the copyright. Each user can define how it should work for them. If

Yeah, poor. How dare they go through their long established QA for something like this? How dare they do what literally every other company does. Seriously, why do you think companies like Microsoft rather write workarounds to issues on the

All in all I feel that the market is basically seeking equilibrium. For years, you had to buy at least a laptop if you wanted your mother to be able to use facebook to stay in touch with the family that maybe moved away. Even back then, f

So, if I were to go to such a site with noscript activated, I would be okay? I mean, noscipt would probably set up to allow ebay.com so the site actually works, but this different domain will most likely be blocked, yes?

Really surprised to hear they still allow that. I haven't done business with eBay in years. Way back when, I felt pretty smart when discovering that I could just add extra pictures I served from some other webspace into my listings. Be

Well, then these people are very nearsighted. Virtual Reality could very well become the next big thing. And not just in gaming. Apart from gaming there is simulation training and yes, communication for example. This could lead to some inca

Someone should tell EA about this. They already claimed to be working on bringing game apps to the watch... The first thing I thought was, other than tic tac toe, what game could you possibly display on a display that small? I also think, a

To be honest, I thought the same thing about the earbuds of the iPod or the iPhone. You know, the signature, white earbuds. I thought to myself, "if I have these on, everybody will know I have an iPhone"... this was back when iPho

Does Android really not provide an auto upload of snapped pictures to the cloud? I was under the impression that they did this way before iCloud even came up. First it was to Picasa or some place, then to the google+ place somewhere. Either

That sounds right. Especially given the rumor that Apple is cooking up their own mobile payment service. I guess when you try to do something like this, the lawyers and other higher ups need to figure a lot of things out first. And this bit
