Debunking Google’s security vulnerability disclosure propaganda
Question: You’re a multibillion dollar tech giant, and you’ve launched a new phone platform after much media fanfare. Then a security researcher finds a flaw in your product within days of its release. Worse, the vulnerability is due to the fact that you shipped old (and known to be flawed) […]

Eight-year-old picks Linux XO laptop over Windows
The eight-year-old, representative of the target audience for the educational notebook, spent an afternoon exploring each notebook, finally picking the Linux version mostly because it had more software that was not yet explored.

The Google Dilemma
James Grimmelmann - New York Law School Abstract: Web search is critical to our ability to use the Internet. Whoever controls search engines has enormous influence on all of us; whoever controls the search engines, perhaps, controls the Internet itself.

Google Repeats Itself: Give Us Your Data, But We Won’t Tell You How Google Works or Give You Control
Ben Gomes, a Google engineer, blogged lightly about the “experiment” on Tuesday.

Debunking the Google Earth Censorship Myth
“There’s a persistent Web meme to the effect that Google obscures sensitive or top-secret locations in Google Maps and Google Earth at the insistence of national governments.

VideoGamer sat down with Randy Stude, president of the PC Gaming Alliance, to talk about the state of piracy and DRM in today’s gaming industry.

2. With each branch, no new files are created in the project file hierarchy on your system. Since you have […]

In light of the systematic abuse and the demise of ISO, which IBM loudly protested against [1, 2], we shall no longer let this process remain secretive.
