Facebook swiped whatsapp data a year or two ago. I've never ever installed FB on my mobile and yet it suggests whatsapp contacts as friends. It's just such a brazen move that everyone assumes it is legal.

This has been my experience as well. In my case Ive never ever installed Facebook on my phone. It has to be whatsapp leaking/sharing the contacts list.

Tunguska is beginning to make sense now.

Why is it still slower than oneplus3 and htc 10?

Oracle should probably invest that money in doing actual R&D for itself. It hasn't been doing well of late in the ERP market. Have oracle's cloud moves failed?

Been in the market looking for a good replacement to my old thinkpad, but I don't know if people have noticed, most laptops today cannot be upgraded for RAM and in some cases even the HDD/SSD and batteries are soldered on to the board. Add to it, keyboards seem to come down a few notches in terms of quality.

So, earlier my laptops have typically been with me for nearly 6 years each, these days, with the constant upgrades it feels like Iam buying a mobile phone that is sealed shut and demands an upgrade every 2 years. I've now stopped updating OSes as a result of the slowdowns I see everytime I upgrade the OS.

Or maybe we are the ones traveling to the star.

Sometimes I wonder if all of the online computers, internet, apps and other stuff makes any sense. We have complicated our lives unnecessarily and multiplied beyond the capacity of our plant to hold us meaningfully or have a life with any semblance of contemplation.

It's good that the government isn't allowing google street view access to the country's streets otherwise the world would see and understand the unmitigated hell that the country has become.

What is a wordfence? Anyone else blocked from reading this "article?"

Problem is when MobileIron/Corporate IT sees root activity has been done on a device, it refuses to load up anything else. So I am now stuck with checking for emails on the laptop.

It's 2016, device manufacturers should have gotten this right already instead of focusing on wallpaper.

I have a 11 year old WRTGL that got hit by lightning, fried two ports including the WAN port, but the other ports still work and it is still going strong.

Half the enterprise apps I know stop working on cyanogen. Is there an alternative? Also is there a way to separate work and personal phone usage on a single device? Tools like mobile iron seem to demand all of my info be made available for whatever it deems fit for the corporate I work for.

Definitely russian. His/her smileys don't have eyes.

I need a good home firewall device with community based filters now.

That article reads like scrambled eggs without seasoning.

I hope they make ones with dual intel gigabit network cards on the board.

No security. Maybe binding it to localhost and using squid as a frontend with authentication would work?

The fact that you have to carry around such accessories for a PC you should be able to use anywhere without much thought about stuff like the above is frustrating.

For a moment I thought this was about healthcare.gov version 1.

My eyes!!

Looks like we need version control for bills.

Look at the images on that article. Has this guy been to India? Snake charmers? Simpleton logic as well.

Every time someone describes themselves as a leader and organizes their life around "leading," I do a double take. I feel most of these type of personalities are too self centered and difficult to work with. It becomes obvious that they will be blind sided.

Also, never ever apply through one of the career portals companies setup (taleo and the like).

Having applied for tens of perfectly matching jobs at MS, Google and others through their portals, all I can say is they never call you if you apply through their online resume management system. Taleo etc are a resume blackhole, and once they have your resume in their DB, the third party consultants cannot help you either since your phone number check turns up a duplicate on taleo.

If Satya Nadella were to apply via taleo, he wouldn't even be called.

This is the same government that is mandating compulsory biometric IDs for its population with nary a thought about security. Its a mess, third party contractors with no exposure to IT or security are doing the scanning and data entry right now despite the Indian supreme court saying this should not be made mandatory. This is a government that is openly violating its own supreme court.

That wont happen if the right people have been paid off.

Not sure if this is advertising for the film or an actual discovery.

Wont be long before they mandate it.

Spot on.

When companies indirectly demand that you put your personal life on hold for them, you know they have gone too far. What next? Employment contracts that stipulate no pregnancy because they offer egg freezing?

This kind of contract creep and rights erosion is already happening for things like non-compete agreements where employees sign off the right to get gainful employment elsewhere when it makes sense to do so. It just feels like slavery is creeping back up on us.

We live about 80-90 years, I don't think the present culture of slaving your ass off for an app while missing out on all of life is worth it.
