I think you aren't putting this into the correct context. He was referring to his pet gerbil who was named "Passwords". He died on the weekend, and the exec was lamenting the loss of life. ;) Your next question may be about using "are" rather than "is". He did this just to give people the nod...

Because actually enforcing security in an operating system is bad. I for one say Win8 is actually a good OS. It does have its annoyances, but it also has areas where it is much better than its predecessors.

Took me 30-35 minutes... barely had to do anything. It keeps getting easier and easier to install. Sounds like the normal cnet anti-anything-apple bias is coming through

I wonder how well this will turn out. Not saying it isn't possible, but I have yet to see the security community reccomend something that balances security with usability. Also - they're just painting a huge target on their back to get hacked. It will happen.

Oh sweet! It canbe like Johnny Pneumonic!

Tin foil hats anyone? Microwaves do not destroy nutrients any more than cooking on a grill, etc. There was one study that came out and concluded that microwaves removed nutrients from food. They determined this by cooking vegetables in a bath of water (who does that?!). Of course it will leech...

I had a feeling RIM was about to be in trouble when execs and analysts were going: "Look how great we are! We have no debts and a ton of revenue due to our subscription model" Forgetting that in order to have revenues, you need subscribers. And to get subscribers you need to actually make...

I think it is time you look for a new ISP. I have had an amazing experience with some of the smaller independents that offer enough bandwidth that it can be considered unlimited, at a fair price.

The efuses are used to basically force the flash chips to only revert to a certain point. This way you can't revert back to original factory settings and versions, and only until the last firmware update that tripped an efuse. They only have a few on the console, so they don't exactly trip these...

Yippee!!!!! Well it isn't a victory yet, but god damn start. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2011/01/27/technology-internet-usage-based-billing-mezei.html Anyone in the Ottawa area looking at starting up a community-based internet provider with me? ;)

The "cd" being used in a lot of the videos is the clear plastic disc that is at the bottom of a spindle to protect it from getting scratched up.

Glad to hear that we finally hear some people talking about the benefits and how torrents can generate money. There are a lot of success stories, such as "The Man from Earth", which had the movie leaked resulting in about $5M in free word of mouth advertising because the movie was actually good...

What really happened at Google: "Well the next version of Google Maps will include a map of the entire ocean floor" "How are we going to do that? We don't have a map of the ocean floor." "We'll just draw it in MS Paint, and fill it in as we go. Who would want directions out to the...

And one day they will realize that websites don't have size. Twice the members yes, not size ;)
