Certainly, it is a different battleground. But, once again, a "Watson" threatens to supplant humans trying to just get by. I now fear any event that has a "Watson" in the mix. May the Harry Potter and Jeopardy franchises be dipped in tepid bathwater. Hella tepid, yo!
62 years old, and still just a Sprigg. If he's anything like a saguaro cactus, he's only gained one inch every ten years, so very little crime to detect.
I am certain they are retro-proactively moving against this threat delta to achieve ducks-in-a-row parity on their major talking points, while maintaining an aggressive anti-negativity posture informed by agile crowd-sourcing.
Nothing says lovin' like tracking your child's performance via spreadsheet. Giving him or her a PowerPoint presentation as a birthday gift is the real kicker.
Had we noticed the net was dangerous, yes, we would have reacted more proactively. Now, please, accept one month's free subscription to a network capable of compromising a lifetime's worth of credit rating.
Hard to measure, but the disfavor customers will now likely have of businesses that utilize AWS likely doesn't measure up to the coupons Amazon is handing out for the days of service lost. A simple calculation of downtime = value won't entice companies to renew their contracts.
Sometimes in life, we may want to heap all of our woes on the back of a beast, and send it forth into the wilderness, hoping neither beast nor trouble will again find us fumbling with our noodles. While the goat known as "IE" (henceforth referred to as "Billy") may have been painted by its master with every wicked stripe, it has returned cleansed, after a time, and deserves at least a salt lick, if not a pat on the head.
The wickedness ascribed to this cloven-hooved mossback (ie: rape), was never its aim. One can never fortell what a semi-domesticated scapegoat will get into, but unrequited this and that could not have been its original goal. It must have been the heat.
Oh yeah, it also has little to do with Javascript benchmarks.
On the one hand, I'm just glad there is now a battle for Javascript speed dominance. It was only a few years back that none of the browser manufacturers paid the least bit of attention to it.
That said, it does seem that Crockford's testing contradicts his stated aim. First, he claims that most JS test suites don't test code as you would encounter in the wild. Then, instead of gathering a sample of real-world JS apps, he chooses to only test against his own, well-written codebase. I don't believe the test skewed his results for Microsoft (using a pre-release browser did that), but he did potentially skew his results against real-world JS apps.
Now that Microsoft has relegated itself to only trying to capture a subset of a subset of the browser market, how well IE performs on speed tests has become a lot less interesting.
Anyone who still carries a cell phone after it's been proven to snaggle your dingleberries deserves what he gets. I suggest you also remove all fillings from your teeth with pliers, ride-share to work in a wheel barrow, and only eat food grown from your own dung pile.
I expect this to go as well as Apple's claims against Microsoft in the early 1990s pertaining to the Mac OS look-and-feel versus Windows'. The net result of which was that MS had to rename their waste basket icon from "Trash" to "Recycle Bin". There must be a better way of funneling money to needy lawyers than this.
Apple is proving as adept at generating ill will as Dubya was.
Maybe the interest comes from examining the complacency of the homeowner, who was warned several months in advance that his house would be broken into by a specific door that he insisted on not locking.
I wrote a few weak jokes about "sunrise periods", "morning wood" and iPads, but my real comment is that this domain may as well have been ".xss". Not that it will improve the security of the remainder of the web, but spotting what is certain to be a festering malware fest just by looking at the trailing ".xxx" will be a great time saver.
They haven't tackled God yet. I expect ratings to further surge if they do. God may not respond well to a "Busted" sign being chucked out after His (or Her) segment, but advertisers are not so fickle.
P.S. - They did the CD-ROM rpm test here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MythBusters_(2003_season)#CD-ROM_Shattering
Ah yes, remove all accounting safeguards just after a financial meltdown in order to save money. The kind of logic that appeals to those who know budget shortfalls aren't the real target. Most of what gets chucked during a reform is whatever would benefit those not in power, not the most wasteful bits. Political Math 101.
MS will blame Apple and Google for making them rush to market with a handset-bricking mobile operating system.
MS appears to be completely incapable of detecting or developing any new trends in computing. They waited years to get into music players, smart phones, and web search, to name a few. Which is why they feel the need to purchase their way into markets, or now, suing their way into them. Sometimes the barrier to entry is your own ineptitude.
It would be interesting to hear their take on how this "monopoly" should be resolved. I'm guessing it would involve a redirect to Bing.
Theory 1: If his head was shaved, the notes were jotted on toilet paper, and he had a Violet Carson in one hand, then clearly he came to disfavor with a mutant from Larkhill.
Theory 2: Dr. Eleanor Arroway, or one of her alien consorts, bumped him off for stealing portions of her notes on how to build "the machine".
Theory 3: He was just on the verge of determining how to move faster than bullets. Unfortunately, there was no matrix.
I understand the disgust and glee that people have in pointing at us (Americans) as egotistical gluttons of empire. We deserve it as much as any nation who has ever made pretense of control over other sovereign nations. Oh, hello UK. Hello Russia.
A cheap shot, I know. And not one that defends our foreign policy or aberrations of military conduct. Unfortunately, I am too tired and uninterested now to defend policies that run opposite my own way of thinking simply because they happen to be promulgated by my government.
Of what use was Jobs' rant to anyone other than himself? I don't see constantly alienating every other tech company over petty issues as a longterm benefit. Apple just had their best quarter ever, fully justifying their reasoning in how they make products people want, yet he still feels the need to over-explain the company's (ie: his) product rationale and split hairs. Um, we get it. Your plan is working. Bravo. Shut up.
I understand why it only works with the latest version of Windows (aero graphics et al), but that equates to laziness, considering all other browser developers are able to achieve similar speed gains w/o targeting just one version of an OS (and no, the red-headed dialog-spewing beast that survived birth by accident doesn't count as an OS).
It's cute to see MS trying. Thing is, if they happen to think they are ahead again, they will let IE lay in the weeds again for several years. Oh, hey, Windows Mobile, whazzup?
Once the buzz fades, so will development, and it will be another bolted-up Frankenstein patchwork of security updates.
I have no interest in the putty maiden of figure 402. Ads should be sexy, and choose a certain polarization, per sexuality, etc, bleh. If I am to purchase a gadget, doodad, or market anomaly, please remove from my consideration whether I should be ambisextrous.
Once again, I have completely missed the point, but feel great. Happiness, yo. Luddites, chill. Um, *.yay!
Chrome isn't the issue, since this can already be done via Javascript in any browser. With Google Analytics already linked-in on millions of pages, a modification of that scripting would automatically extend the functionality to them, if they so desired. I doubt it will happen that way, but I also doubted Sarah Palin would be more than a blip on the political radar. And she's gone from blip to blob.
For the luddites who have Javascript turned-off in their browsers, bravo, and keep using tin snips to open your canned peaches.

Visibility = Vulnerability
To design unhackable software, also ensure it is never used. You know, like Opera.
Went there.
Yeah
Companies really miss that bottom line thing.
I post dumb things too, but I'm at least polite enough to be succinct.

And it was good.

Also, be warned that women and seamen don't mix.

It's almost as if
giant companies have their own interests foremost.
If that is the case, then I will only occassionally purchase high-ticket items from them. No, really, mostly.

Stop hitting yourself. Stop hitting yourself.
Kids can be so cruel
It may have been self-defense.
Oh, here's your problem...
Corporate negligence.
I'm guessing it got in by the front door.
Compensation
Hard to measure, but the disfavor customers will now likely have of businesses that utilize AWS likely doesn't measure up to the coupons Amazon is handing out for the days of service lost. A simple calculation of downtime = value won't entice companies to renew their contracts.

Here's hoping
they can genetically engineer a target audience in time to not go all Microsoft Kin on us.

And airbrushed glow effects from the 1970s.
Not even knowing the specs, I overflow with loathing for them.
I'm like that.
The twist...
is that the codec secretly logs all your keystrokes, lifts your wallet and maps your genome as you sit watching reruns on Hulu.

Chump change you can believe in
If they wanted to, they could be nice and lift entire nations out of poverty.
Oh, sorry, wrong forum. What I mean is, "Aye, here be a chance fer corp'rate vengeance. Run 'em through and slick the planks with their maggoty guts."
Yar.
Mixed baggage

Would take on a new, and self deprecating, meaning if I worked there.
OK, just one more:
I can confirm that having an 11th digit available does NOT improve my typing skills.
Deliberately Stupid
My favorite part: "The email was crafted well enough to trick one of the employees to retrieve it from their Junk mail folder".
In other words: "We suspected the package might contain a bomb, but Phil thought the bow on it looked really nice so he unwrapped it".
Sweatshop
With this kind of work environment, I would only need internet access in order to do my work. Pure genius.
Wish their website looked as good as their offices.
And Robert Half Technologies
Yay.
Really?
So, regardless of complexity, number of staff, donut bills, etc., no website costs 18 million dollars to run?
Good to know.

It was all a test...
and we passed. They are glad we finally noticed so that they may put up the real site. A drumroll if you please.
Worse things could happen...
Like a sudden influx of water into a highly populated area sitting in a flood plain.
Still, no one likes creepy old radioactivity and the way it sits around for years, leering at you and making fun of your lead underwear.
Whatever gets things flowing
Whenever I get severely "disintermediated", I eat more fiber. Tech companies eat more crow.
