Now that is _interesting_! 
What was the result? Were you able to discover anything?

I think the real problem here isn't the botnet, but that people think they need internet-enabled light bulbs.

A solution to the problem is to put these relatively dumber, less maintainable IOT devices security zones behind firewal and connect them using security gateways that has better ownership control, also in the same corresponding sec zones.
Normal peoples don't open their houses to just anyone in the world, the same should be true on the internet ...

In an effort to boost the number of apps in the Windows Store Microsoft and Unity are running a contest offering $100,000 as the grand prize to developers who bring their games to the UWP Windows Store. There are catches, of course (beyond needing to actually write and port a game)

Would a game where Cortana is put under a guillotine qualify?

The full version of Minecraft: Education Edition includes the much-anticipated Classroom Mode companion app, enabling educators to manage world settings, communicate with students, give items, and teleport students in the Minecraft world. Reading, writing, and redstone?

Redstone is Turing complete, and can be used to teach basic logic and programming.

The idea of software craftsmanship, as expressed in the Manifesto for Software Craftsmanship, is (in part) to encourage software developers to strive for excellence in their work in order to create productive partnerships with customers and to add value steadily for those customers.

Quote: He points out that in a craft such as, for instance, cathedral-building, the work is intrinsically beautiful in its own right. In contrast, using the same sort of stone as was used in the cathedral to build a bridge, the goal is to make the bridge sturdy and utilitarian, such that people don’t even notice it.
The way that bridges and Cathedrals are made (when made from stone) are almost exactly the same and in both cases it was thus so as to make the maximum amount of structure from the minimum amount of mass (because in masonry, weight is cost) which is exactly how you should do software too.
If elegance is an emergent property of that, then so much the better.

That’s according to NSS Labs which today announced the results of its latest Web Browser Security comparative test. Not even the hackers want to use Edge

Its the same story with Macs and security... hackers are not wasting their time since the market share is so small.

Yet it can't correctly display a very simple webpage that I have had for twenty years. Every other browser I have tried handles it just fine. Edge doesn't so I do not use it.

Not hard to avoid hackers when your product is not used by most.

Microsoft yesterday stopped providing Windows 7 Professional and Windows 8.1 licenses to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), including its PC partners and systems builders. Save your copies, they might be worth something one day

They should revive 7. It's way better than that crapware the call 8 & 10.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
