Microsoft finally understand that not all devices are touch...
A: If you look at Windows 8 users on touch devices, they have higher satisfaction than those on Windows 7 devices. Windows 7 users have higher satisfaction on mouse and keyboard devices than Windows 8.

So... free upgrade from Windows 8 to Windows 9...
And new version is Windows 10?
Clever... very clever...

From the article:
Quote: If Windows 10 is the Tesla to the Windows 7 Prius, the only question left lingering, though, is what the middle child between these Windows generations, Windows 8, was supposed to be. The Fisker Karma, perhaps?

It's being completely misunderstood.
First, there was Windows 1, then there was Windows 3, then 95, then ME, then 98, then X(P), then 7, then 8.
This version is Windows 2, to be followed by Windowses 4 to 6, 9, 11 to 94, 96 to 97, 99 to 999, and 1001 onward.
They're just filling in the gaps.
If you don't get this, hand in your developer's badge on your way out.

Ted Unangst @ OPenBSD[^]LibreSSL was officially announced to the world just about exactly five months ago. Bob spoke at BSDCan about the first 30 days. For those who weren't there, I'll quickly rehash some of that material. Also, it's always best to start at the beginning, but then I'll try to focus on some new material and updates.
...
months 2-5
OK, I still haven't talked too much about we have done since the last update. We've mostly stopped deleting code. There's still some scary code left, but the good news is it's code you need to run. There was a bit of a summer lull, some post hackathon decompression, and then the OpenBSD 5.6 freeze. But progress is picking up again. Dig into a directory, open a few files, rewrite a function or two. Look at all the points where memory is allocated, and then make sure it is freed, exactly one time, no more, no less.
I'm sorry to make it all sound so tame, but avoiding excitement is all part of the plan. The first 30 days were all about revolution. Now we've switched into evolution mode.
OpenBSD gives another update about what they've been working on in de-fubaring OpenSSL. At the end they also briefly discuss their planned sane developer API to wrap the entire mess up so the rest of us don't actually have to understand how it all works to have a chance of using it correctly.
Joel and I have been working on a replacement API for OpenSSL, appropriately entitled ressl. Reimagined SSL is how I think of it. Our goals are consistency and simplicity. In particular, we answer the question "What would the user like to do?" and not "What does the TLS protocol allow the user to do?". You can make a secure connection to a server. You can host a secure server. You can read and write some data over that connection.
A few goals. First, no OpenSSL types or functions are exposed. In fact, not even any ressl internals are exposed. You should never need to contemplate X.509 or ASN.1. Those are implementation details far beyond the level of caring of most developers or users. As a consequence of that, the API is easy for other languges to bind to. The ressl interface could almost equally well describe transport over ssh tunnels. What do you want? Do you want a secure connection? We give you a secure connection.
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?

A handful of Londoners in some of the capital’s busiest districts unwittingly agreed to give up their eldest child, during an experiment exploring the dangers of public Wi-Fi use.
Apparently they didn't.

Just sign it and let the lawyers figure it out.

Or maybe they did, because that's obviously completely unenforceable.
|
|
|
|
|
That's the point. The experiment proves that all such contracts are unenforceable, because they're "signed" without full consent, and (it could be argued) under duress.

No, makes sense, using open source means they can make sure there are no backdoors in there they don't know about, and can implement their own without developing their own solution from scratch.

It also means that no external company will know exactly how many servers they have
It wouldn't even surprise me if they were to have their own chip factory to keep that type of detail hidden.
