All this action is only about a decade too late.

Let me google-translate for you

"From its launch, The Daily was a bold experiment in digital publishing and an amazing vehicle for innovation. Unfortunately, our experience was that we could not find a large enough audience quickly enough to convince us the business model was sustainable in the long-term."

Pronounced:-

"It was shite."

Poor article

There is a massive difference between applying statutes like the Data Protection Act 1998 which contains wholly objective tests applicable to all, and, the giving of power to government to appoint senior members of a new regulator who's job it will be to determine whether the press have satisfied their own tests of 'fit and proper' content and behavious. This is as subjective as it gets, and you CANNOT have that level of proximity between government and the ethical measurement of the press.

Misguided article

Let's hope not all companies in the UK take advantage of this 'moral' tax arrangement, in the same way as eBay and Starbucks et al.

Because then, everyone will have an extra few pounds in their pocket and coffee will be cheaper, but we'll just about bankrupt the country and leave ourselves defenseless too.

Moron.

Well written article.

I thought Windows 8 users on any device were going to have access to the Android apps store? Wouldn't this mitigate any problems with having an under-developed native app store for the first few months?

I would love to know the detail of the mistake they made. I'm willing to bet it was something so elementary as to be utterly unreportable.

Definitely Friday today.

**Angry**

This game is truly a massive disappointment, and yet another example of developers' laziness when it comes to titles with historic innovation and popularity.

This was the last chance for me, for Resident Evil - I won't be buying any further interations.

There has never been a better time to sort this cluster-f*ck of a system out.

I don't think the Government are at all in touch with the strength of feeling around these issues.

Nice idea. Shame the people implementing it are corrupt and incompetent, in about equal measure.

Nice to see that the global economic problems are hitting everyone's pockets hard.

“People want to be online and we want to make sure their online and offline works together well”

Many words used, but nothing said.

I hear Apple are preparing a patent...

Every cloud has a silver lining it seems.

Surely tightening their near-illegal privacy policy would yield better results?

The really sad thing...

...is that I'm not even remotely suprised by this.

Here, let me box your fail in some fail.

In other words they've found a gaping great chasm of a security hole and have no choice but to patch it before the planned SP release.

[ ] human error

[x] something more sinister

Hypocrisy of the highest order

So, the US have concluded that the divide between coporation and state in China is too grey, and that this causes privacy and security concerns when doing business with tech companies.

Bahahahahaha.

*ahem* Google *ahem* Microsoft....

Seriously, the US' blatant and ignorant disregard for evenly applied standards is becoming uncomfortably embarassing given our 'close' relationship.

The mask has now totally slipped, and their grip on things is following. Not belong before Eastern economies dwarf that of the west so they better get used to having their behaviour in the past 20 years thrown back in their face.

It's hard to imagine that Bing users have any data worth stealing to be honest.

Correction

Yablon has been placed on administrative leave 'suicide' watch.

Surely...

...they don't have to simulate these threats.

There is no such thing as an undiscovered tech talent.

Ok so...

"However it seems only less significant systems were targeted by an assault that was, in any case, ultimately unsuccessful"

... someone trys to attack a system much less important and secure than the ones at the heart of this article, and completely failed in doing so.

It has a hint of Oriental vs. The World in thermonuclear cyber-handbags, and so this is now news-worthy as a result?

Basics

They were holding $1bn in stock? Are u kidding?

Against an existing user base of 80 million people. When and why did they suddenly think they could double their handset sales between one financial year and another.

According to wiki...

Adobe is...

... "a natural building material made from sand, clay, water, and some kind of fibrous or organic material (sticks, straw, and/or manure), which the builders shape into bricks (using frames) and dry in the sun

Probably more secure imo..

Interesting

Lots of unanswered questions though. I thought the pressure of the atmosphere basically meant that water couldn't exist on Mars for more than a few seconds. How has this fairly fundamental variable changed so that it was once possible to have streams of flowing water?

Anyone able to shed some light?

The thot plickens

I hear Apple are already preparing a patent...

Live USB still hanging out of the back imo

Vulnerability?

More like a gaping great chasm of a security hole.

Oh..

...this came from China. You're kidding.

Perhaps...

...this is where the media got the technical insight into how to 'hack' a celeb phone.

errm...

...surely just finding a stable worm-hole would be easier?

If true...

..which I doubt, it would be a serious game changer.

20mb

Is still an overwhelmingly HUGE file size for something which does not contain media such as pictures, sound, video etc.

Workaround?

Bahahaha.

That's not a workaround. That's a p1ss take.

Surely installing another browser would be ever-so-slightly quicker.
