dale386··on Let's Encrypt: How It Works
Which browsers will trust Let's Encrypt certificates out of the box? There may be a major backwards compatibility gap here.

dale386··on Marriott Hotels fined $600,000 by FCC for jamming Wi-Fi hotspots [pdf]
Marriot made $11.8 billion in 2012. $600,000 is not an actual punishment.
dale386··on Push notification click-through rates
Yeah exactly this. If you want to tell me about something that's legitimately important to me, fine. But don't remind me to come play your game or advertise your other products via push. This will result in an immediate uninstall. Zynga games have been banned from my devices for this reason.

I give it a week before someone creates a lego mindstorm / arduino device with suction cups that performs the entire sequence in much less than 20min.

I doubt that he's happy about having to seek refuge in Russia.
dale386··on Mac Pro Colocation
Scratches? Seriously? It's in a data center. Who cares?

Besides, the enclosure is there to take scuffs in place of the computer's internals. That's protection enough for people who use these services.

As for vibration, SSDs and the lack of CDROM drives mean that these things have no moving parts to be disturbed.

dale386··on LogMeIn to discontinue free remote access product
This looks interesting. They make all of their money on enterprise licenses and give out their software for free to end users.

Also, they're about to fix their firewall limitation:

"NoMachine Anywhere is the next piece of the puzzle. NoMachine Anywhere is a free service, which will be available to everyone, enabling people to connect to each other's computer behind routers and firewalls, without the need for knowing their IP address. Initially slated for end 2013, it has been moved to first quarter 2014." -from their website

dale386··on LogMeIn to discontinue free remote access product
Looks like $50/year for existing free users. No idea what it will raise to after the first year.

Tom Forbes: investigator, judge, jury, and executioner.

Wouldn't it have been more appropriate to notify law enforcement?

dale386··on Comcast announces placing data caps
Do what exactly? Most areas in the US are served either by one provider that does whatever the hell it wants or multiple providers that offer the same awful service at the same terrible prices (ish). We can't vote with our money and we can't vote with our votes since our politicians (1) are clueless about all things technology (2) get the little knowledge they have from lobbyists and (3) won't do anything about internet problems unless they hear about it from a lot of voters, most of whom are also clueless about all things technology.
dale386··on How to get Gogo in-flight wireless internet for free
This will be exploited by people without a moral compass. What are you trying to get at? The author isn't suggesting this as a life hack for free internet, he's just showing that it can be done.
dale386··on Samsung Buys Every Ad Position on CNet On New iPhone Launch Day
Obligatory "CNet has ads? I use AdBlock!" post.

dale386··on Abandoned island in the middle of NYC
Trash on Roosevelt Island isn't picked up by truck -- it's sucked through pneumatic tubes into the island's central waste center. All buildings on the island are hooked up.
