    Kaspersky Lab Faked Malware To Harm Rivals

    The article sort of explains the why: Kaspersky felt that they're doing a lot of the heavy lifting in terms of discovering malicious files which others are profiting on. To test that theory they submitted those false positives. Not saying that's the right thing to do, just paraphrasing the...

    How can I make sites give my phone the full version?

    Not sure about FF, but on mobile Chrome there is an option for [ ] Request Desktop Site you can check. I'm sure there's something similar.

    sad story; lesson for all.

    You get free photo storage on plenty of sites, I think you get a TB on Flickr. Or sign up for Dropbox, backblaze, etc. No excuse to be so foolish ..

    Yahoo Slams New 'Digital Will' Law

    Eh, I feel like that's basically the same argument as "If you've got nothing to hide, you shouldn't be afraid of the NSA."

    Yahoo Slams New 'Digital Will' Law

    On one hand, I agree with Yahoo in that I don't want my private emails and things like that getting out after I die. On the other, it seems silly that I can't give my digital music, games, etc to someone. I suppose we've accepted the latter already though, it's not like I can gift or sell a...

    Confused Comcast Rep Thinks Steam Download Is A Virus

    I'm sure they know and I'm sure they don't care. Providing better customer service won't help them make more money if most people have a single choice for high speed internet in their service area.

    iOS Camera Roll -> Dropbox?

    Hmm, same issue as the above I suppose. I guess the crux of it is, why are the Hangouts / Dropbox apps not using the same photo sharing mechanism that Flickr is using which allows one to share a photo? Seems to be an issue on the app end, not iOS.

    iOS Camera Roll -> Dropbox?

    Right, I did see that option. However, I don't want to sync all of my photos, just wanted to upload one or two. There are quite a few on there, some of which are large movies, that do not need to be sync'd.

    iOS Camera Roll -> Dropbox?

    Normally an Android user so forgive me. I took a picture and want to share it via Google Hangouts. I click the share (export?) button on the bottom left of the camera gallery and I don't see an option to share via hangouts. Okay, so I thought then dropbox, but I don't see that Okay, then...

    Apple Awarded Patent For Crowd-Sourced Traffic Navigation

    The real meat and potatoes is this: It's not broadly to detect congestion and traffic in a crowd sourced manner, but specifically to determine where there are stop lights and signs on the roads.

    [project] What would a kicka** home network look like?

    I think one important thing to consider is the Wife Acceptance Factor of any network. Sure you can have a pfsense router on esxi, but if you ever have to reboot the server for whatever reason, or move it, or something happens to whatever, stick of ram goes bad, fan is clogged with cat hair...

    Verizon Blames Netflix For Internet Congestion

    Here's the thing though, ISPs have long advertised the rates and service they provide but it's only now that people are actually using it they realize that they can't/don't want to support it. You can't advertise 10Mbps and then not deliver on it. I don't care how many people are watching...

    Protesters Block, Vomit On Yahoo Bus In Oakland

    Modred is spot on with gentrification. It's a two sided coin though. The same people who are upset about being displaced from the Mission are the same people who displaced low income Hispanic families 10 years ago. There's a lot of demand for a limited supply of houses - I'm not really sure...
