Mobile? Becasue I've been waiting for FF mobile to enable add-in for security and it's seems they finally done it, whereas early this year, there were no add ons.

Re: through the competition of the free market comes the prosperity and equal opportunity
And look at all the stans downvoting you.
The bad intent of every corporation is proven over and over, yet people still believe the fairy tale, on a website that shows examples of corporate malfeasance and jiggery pokery, every, single, day.
I wish the stans would find somewhere else to gaslight and astroturf.
They insist the benefits will trickle down. One day.

Re: the pain caused by its productivity tool
Far too many people talk about the "productivity" of Microsoft (not the just the stans that show up here) that I have to wonder if we are using the same software.
MS did not get rid of Clippy, it just hid it in every single action you take to get the job at hand, done. I spend more time fighting to turn off the pop-ups and auto-whatevers that productivity goes right out the window.
And even after turning it all off, it gets turned right back on again after any major updates. Or some new annoying "feature" is added whose control is hidden 3-4 layers down.
Yeah and updates? Seems like one every week.
MS has turned just running and maintaining Windows into a full time job. I consider it a good month when I don't have to chase down and kill some annoying "help" feature during that four weeks.
Productivity? For who?
And LOL, how about that Bitlocker boat anchor? Kills 50% performance on your SSD.
Still got a job at the end of this week? You're lucky, as more layoffs hit the tech industry
No need to worry
No snark here. High profile companies are not the end all, be all of the computer world.
I've said this before, there are millions of high tech jobs that nobody hears about that are the real heart and soul of our modern world. If you find yourself laid off from the high profile zaibatsu, there is still plenty of work out there.
But you'll have to set your expectations lower. Not real low, but lower. Like, middle class, low. And taking time to get rehired.
As another poster said the other day, it's almost like a start-up is more stable employment than working for the whales these days. This is as dysfunctional as it gets.

Re: Gee what a surprsie
Did we read the same article? Or do you (and those other down-votes) work for cisco?
Thousands of failure point. Breaches already happened. Not even cisos's first few dozen times this has happened. I'm pretty sure I did not imagine those words. Oh wait, there they are right there in black and white.
Oh ho ha, you almost had me going there for about an... attosecond. Yep, right there in black and white.

Re: Sounds identical to the M&A approach
This is almost EVERY M&A playbook.
What most people don't know is that an M&A is mostly leveraged, i.e money was borrowed to buy the target company. Very Large sums of money. This is done for many reasons that would take an entire school semester to explain. But mostly accounting trickery. All quite legal of course. But Schrodinger and his cat often figure prominently.
So cutting expense to the bone is required after the purchase.
Most M&A are NOT about expanding their market and therefore sales, but more of asset stripping and elimination of competition, thus being able to raise prices in that market, forcing the former customers to either buy at the new rates or find some alternative. And let me tell you, customer inertia is a very real thing. It's comes under "Rate of Retention" is very coldly calculated.
I could on for hours, but you get the idea.
An oh how I LMAO when people talk about supply and demand and somehow benevolent self correcting market forces. Such naivete would be charming if it wasn't so prevalent.
LinkedIn lays off nearly 700 staff, engineers to suffer the most
No surprise
I'm STILL trying to figure out what value LinkedIn brings to me. Besides just another place to post my resume.
Networking? Nope. Not for me. Unless you count a ton of 2nd rate headhunter's spam. Learning? Nothing I can't get somewhere cheaper to free. Job listings? Again what do they do better than Monster or Dice, et al? And that's a pretty low bar right there.
More than anything, it's just become another waste of time chore that I only keep around because some future employer can't be arsed to actually read a resume I submit or thinks not having a presence is somehow suspect.
But one thing is for sure, laying off your engineers is always a good way to improve the user experience!
Oh wait...
