Apple's iOS ecosystem is much more efficient, allowing it to generate more revenue for app builders. "More efficient?" Yeah, that's one term for the Apple "ecosystem"

I think it's more a matter of iDevelopers being greedy money-hungry more capitalistic and less likely to write open source / freeware / etc.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Very true. I'd love to see a price breakdown of the two (three) stores. I'd bet there are more higher priced ones in the iStore.

The National Security Agency’s attempts to keep track of people outside the US who use encryption and anonymization software from the Tor Project also apparently captured the traffic of anyone reading a wide range of articles on Linux Journal, according to documents published by the German public television broadcaster ARD and provided by security researchers (and Tor contributors) Jacob Appelbaum, Aaron Gibsom, and Leif Ryge. All that talk of free? Can't trust them.

If I were a betting kind of guy, I’d bet that most developers don’t consider the inherent security of their chosen programming language(s) when beginning a new project. "When the site was found we laid the foundations down. It didn't take long before they came back tumbling down"

I need someone to explain it! Cross site scripting happening more in a specific language, because of that language?
So if I have ten thousand SQL injection attacks a month it is because I choose C# to develop my application? And what if all that attacks failed?
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

In a great IT industry irony, enterprise social networking (ESN) software, designed to boost interaction and collaboration, is often ignored by users and ends up forgotten like the proverbial ghost town with rolling tumbleweeds. Needs more LOLcats

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?

Why Windows 8's usage share is at 12 percent, what that means, and why it doesn't really matter in the long run. There's no where to go but up?
His point about "12% of a really big number is really big" is pretty good though - as is the comparison with OSX.

The new build supports a C#-based scripting engine (bringing the power of FiddlerScript to Linux for the first time), and includes the new PCAP/PCAPNG importer code that allows you to open these low-level network captures directly within Fiddler. This new build also includes a variety of UI enhancements for Windows-parity, including customizable columns, column search, and more. Did you know there was a Fiddler for Linux-folk? Someone should have mentioned it.

This release primarily includes great new features for Web API OData v4 as summarized below but has bug fixes and minor features that bring in a lot more goodness to MVC, Web API, and Web Pages: Why wait for the VS update?

Hackers recently broke into payment systems at several northwestern U.S. restaurants and food service companies via a remote access account belonging to one of their vendors, another example of the need for companies to monitor third-party access to their networks. "The keys are under the welcome mat" is not a security plan

Quote: ISS used a common password to access its LogMeIn account, allowing the hackers to easily log in to payment networks of multiple ISS customers
Let me guess: the password was "LogMeIn"?

The project plans to implement code reviews, fix poor coding, and have better documentation. "You tell me mistakes are part of being young, but that don't right the wrong that's been done"

Reading their actual roadmap[^], I think they could implement 90% of it now by forking the current LibreSSL release.

Everyone really should watch that video. It is fantastic and will make you think new thoughts.
You can also watch the whiteboard-animation version of that talk. It is fantastic for many reasons:
