Clicking the cross in the top-right hand corner of the pop-up box now agrees to a scheduled upgrade rather than rejecting it. This is just one cautionary tale after another.

Dozens of French police raided Google's (GOOGL.O) Paris headquarters on Tuesday, escalating an investigation into the digital giant on suspicion of tax evasion. I'm sure tax evasion in French sounds much more florid and innocent.

Google should shut-down all of its sites and services in the whole of Europe. I'm betting that 24 hours of living with the alternatives will bring the EU back to reality.

Then I will let Pete take the bow as it goes out in the Daily tomorrow and I will shake my hands wildly to distract you away from this post.

With all those eyes all over the globe dialed in and the purchasing power available, the online giant has tapped into a controversial delivery of data into its intelligence gathering. It all starts with something that you may not even realize is enabled on your phone. If they are the least they could do is remind me to pick up the milk on the way home. I tend to forget.

hmmmm, so if I don't have a farsebook account, and have never launched the app itself, do I still need to root my phone to scrub it off?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

In a bid to accelerate growth and reduce labor costs, Apple supplier Foxconn cut 60,000 jobs at a single factory, work that is now being completed by robots. Do any of these robots combine to make a mighty robot? Loved by good, feared by evil?

"You don’t take people’s property without permission and use it for your own benefit," said Oracle lawyer Peter Bicks. "Google took a shortcut, and they took a shortcut at Oracle’s expense." Wow the whiteboards and puppets and condescending tone really are coming out.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is attempting to suppress information about a massive database which contains fingerprints, palm prints, iris, voice, and face scans, as well as other biometric data, of millions of Americans. FBI? Secretive? Nawww

Chad Lung recently put together a tutorial about writing a Python microservice using AWS Lambda, reachable via HTTP. It’s well written, it’s cogent, and it does a great job of demonstrating how Lambda is cool. (with a focus on API Gateway)

There is a big problem with a system (at the very base), where for setting up a web server you need two hours of guided sweating...

At first, I suspected that the data might be a television stream for the TVs, but the packet length seemed too small, even for a single video frame. How curiosity wasted the programmer's time.

For the last 15 years I have no need of: COBOL (and not Cobol, as the author wrote it, proving the level of knowledge), Java, XSLT an Python...I can live without them definitely...

Every other candidate on that list has plenty of valid alternatives. Until WebAssembly becomes widely available, your choices for clientside scripting in the browser are native javascript and wannabe alternatives that employ a cluster elephant to decompose themselves into js for the browser to execute.

British white hat hacker and Google Project Zero chap Tavis Ormandy is making life miserable for Symantec again: the bug-hunter has turned up an exploitable overflow in “the core Symantec Antivirus Engine used in most Symantec and Norton branded Antivirus products." See today's comic.

And they load the scan engine into the KERNEL?!?!??!?!? SERIOUSLY?!?? WHAT ON EARTH WERE THEY THINKING?!?!?
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Is this actually unique to Symantic? My assumption would be that as a kernel driver it's much harder for malware to try hiding themselves by tampering with it.
