I expected such a vulnerability to exist. Red Hat Linux is certified by some US authority - hence there must be a backdoor open for NSA. And that backdoor can only reside in code common to most Linux distros - otherwise it is to easy to spot it.

No.
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

TechCrunch is hearing that Facebook is buying Titan Aerospace, makers of near-orbital, solar-powered drones which can fly for five years without needing to land. According to a source with access to information about the deal, the price for this acquisition is $60 million. Whaaaaaaa?
OK, the notion of "Internet via drone" is possibly the best use of these so far. (Pizza delivery not included)

Really? So far he has got something wrong, then something else wrong, then something else wrong, then completely messed Windows 8 and then then quit. Don't see him fixing things there!

People who sign up to use Bing with their free Microsoft Account can now access Bing Saves, which lets people save any URLs generated in a search string to that page on the Bing site. It also has sections where people can see which URLs on Bing are currently trending, along with a "public feed" of addresses that might be of interest to the specific user. Google gets the rebound, shoots, scores!
Sorry, that blurb might be fairly Canadian-specific

With Jeeves coders could readily create privacy settings for an entire application, a master list that could then flow to each new application feature. Yeah. Good luck with that.

Any doubt that Microsoft sees Android as an important part of its future should be erased with a just-announced deal with an Indian handset maker to manufacture dual-boot Windows-Android phones, and with Microsoft asking HTC to include Windows Phone as a dual-boot option on its Android phones. This way they can say they have the most popular phone OS!

You forgot to include the rest of the paragraph you quoted, especially the bold-italic & underlined portions
Quote: That's on top of Nokia's new line of low-cost Windows Phone devices. Is this a way to extend Windows Phone's life, or an admission of the platform's failure?
