While it seems to be working, the worse they make him sound the more foolish they look for hiring him in the first place.

They are just further ruining any remaining reputation they have for being able to keep privileged data secret.

Do you also believe then that buying a used book or checking one out from library is the same as piracy?

Somewhat related, the BBC launched a new weather app for the iPhone (and Android) today.

Perhaps the requirements are somewhat relaxed for large entities.

Weird, somehow extra characters are being added to the end of that url. Removing the trailing / fixes it.

The problem with all the denials is that journalists say "Google is doing X" and Google responds "We aren't doing Y" and everyone debates whether Y = X, Y is a subset of X, or Y is something completely different.

I feel as if so much could be cleared up if they would simply respond line by line to the stories by the NYTimes and Washington Post.

I think he broke both stories.

> The Guardian has verified the authenticity of the document, a 41-slide PowerPoint presentation

If I read the article correctly, hosts are still in control as to whether they will allow all guests or just verified. Did I misinterpret this?

Is the uproar over the mandate that a random 25% of users are now required to go through verification?

OpenOffice has to support OOXML because they have always positioned themselves as supporting everything under the sun. They supported .doc from the start.

Microsoft has traditionally supported only their own formats, so their decision to adopt an open source format is much more meaningful than OpenOffice's decision to support OOXML.

This seems like a great way for a recruiter to alienate someone they are hoping to recruit.

Last month a recruiter was able to get my email address me through this very mechanism. It immediately felt slimy to me and completely put me off the companies they were recruiting for.

If this becomes widespread people will start clocking their git commit email in the same way that they cloak their DNS email records.

Which is actually where PadMapper was getting their data from.

Towards the end they weren't even accessing the data through Craigslist. They were scraping Google Search results for Craigslist entries.

Creating the clone is fairly easy. For every type of service that Craigslist provides there have probably been 1-5 clones over the past few years.

Currently both buyers as well as sellers have been trained that the place to go is Craigslist. Give that it would be impossible for a new service to have anywhere near the number of buyers and sellers as Craigslist, no rational individual is going to choose an alternative.

The problem becomes even tricker since Craigslist is for the most part free. They currently use the revenue gained by job postings to subsidize the other listings on their site. This makes it harder for a niche service to start up as they are competing with free.

Perhaps the author being "Derek Khanna, Contributor", instead of "XX XY, Forbes Staff" has something to do with it.

While we're at it, we should probably prevent people from doing things that can kill people.

Realistically, .us is never really going to see any real mass adoption by American businesses.

The only time consumers encounter a .us domain is in a spam email. In all my time on the internet, I can only think of a single .us site that I visited that was real, and that site eventually moved to .com when it became available.

It's the equivalent to opening up a store in the red light district.

You give your keys to imo.im.

I like the design of the site.

- I'd add a redirect from www.appraptor.com to appraptor.com

- The down arrow next to each section looks a bit odd. I would move it before the label.

I think that name was mentioned in relation to a completely separate crime that was going on a the same time.

Now that the full audio[1] transcript of the police scanner is available, I'd be interested in whether police ever actually mentioned the the two other individuals that everyone seemed to think had done it.

I would imagine that taking care of one's children does not require constant interaction. If that is the case then one could WFH for 8 hours a day but space out their time so that they can attend to their children's needs as they arise.

But they offer SecureImage™ and SecurePassphrase™!

I'm glad to see Microsoft reusing the algorithm that Google uses instead of inventing their own. Now if Blizzard would just do the same...

The AP just reported that they are from Russia. https://twitter.com/AP/status/325196873486962688

Update: AP now reports the suspect is Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev https://twitter.com/AP/status/325198361428893698

"Speculation that one of bombing suspects is a missing student is not correct, sources tell @PeteWilliamsNBC"

They look like different people to me.

I have yet to see an actual news outlet use either of these two names. There have been plenty of tweets referring to a police scanner without anyone actually confirming that the names were used.

I was half expecting the article to end with 'btw, Spotify is now hiring.' Well done.

The LinkedIn icons on your about page seem to be wrapping:

The card pictured on that page[1] looks nothing like the payment cards they introduced, it is just a movie clip. If they want to claim that their implementation is valid they should show the validation for a payment card.

Are they actually supporting AppleTV? I was not aware that AppleTV apps existed. There seems to be some speculation that they are coming this fall. Perhaps Panic knows something we don't?

Edit: The App Store only says "Compatible with iPad. Requires iOS 5.0 or later.".
