It's probably hard to make a leap of faith that will leave 95% of your engineers fumbling in the dark after being robbed of their Symbian/Windows environment, while that organisation is making record profits. The iPhone 1 was jus

> But doesn't a stateful IPv6 firewall introduce the same problems as NAT? Depends on what it does and how it's configured. If the whole internet ends up running with default-deny stateful IPv6 firewalls, then that's a set

So true in the kittens dept. The worst part is that while this situation has been developing, Stockholm syndrome has taken hold and half the battle is convincing people to be receptive to having real IP addresses again! Few people know the

Apps generally use the Android WebView widget that will contain an out of date, vulnerable version of WebKit. And when running Firefox, compromising the browser will yield an easy whole device compromise since the OS won't provide an e

It's not specifically the lack of cpu timeslices that crowds out other programs, it's more like exhaustion of all the OS resources (process table fills up, file table fills up, memory runs out, swap death etc). Sure if you careful

After you get past the components, some computer architecture will do you good. See eg https://www.coursera.org/course/comparch . There's also the classic Hennessy & Patterson book.

This is irrelevant (and false). GC is orthogonal to memory safety. (And all of those things have been successfully been done in GC'd languages.)

WebGL 1.0 is almost 4 years old. OpenGL ES 2.0 was then latest and greatest. And WebGL 1 has taken this long to reach mostly-working in implementations, it would have probably died in the crib if it had targeted the nascent GLES 3 feature s

Your point has some merit, the dramatic breakaway is really in the 0.1% or so, but that's only a problem with the title and not the article. It's not talking about the 1% in America. Eg in the first instance it's talking abou

Given Oracle's history in marketing vs technical competence, that's probably why they're adding it: people like how it sounds. And we'll probably never see any credible evaluation since they NDA all their customers. From

You have it exactly backwards. If you are designing a new protocol, you do mandate encryption. Look at eg. recent new Web protocols, they all do it: WebRTC, WebSockets, SPDY. Yes, the crypto engineering can be bewildering for non-experts, b

Neat. On Android it's easy to believe Dalvik/ART generated code leaves more performance on the table compared to other platforms. Another "what's different this time" point: compared to Transmeta era, CPUs now typic

The title doesn't really fit the article. The author just picked up an open source C/C++ library and found some bugs in its dependencies using their commercial static analysis tool. This is hardly a surprising result, and does not

Very cool. I think the patents and funding related problems are largely public policy / IPR legislation related. There are some interesting proposals out there about how to fix the loss of utility caused by the current model. For examp

It would be good if that was the only difference, but unfortunately NAS boxes usually lack the competent security updates and the automated delivery mechanism for them.
