  • Is finally Google NSA proofing Drive or... ?
    C Carlos Fonseca

    But that doesn't encrypt the metadata, which is what we're talking about. In fact, I'm pretty sure that encrypting an e-mail and including the PGP public key or signature in it (with the PGP "tags") is a good way to end up in NSA's watch list.

  • How could that happen?
    C Carlos Fonseca

    Well, of course not. Sure, they have the same names, are run by the same people and still make the same "predictions", but other than those small details they're completely different! Also, by insinuating that they haven't changed you're scaring the confidence fairy. I'll blame you if our interest rates go up today.

    C Carlos Fonseca

    If what the Snowden documents say about Microsft are true, and we really have no way of knowing if they are -- or aren't -- and if you believe that Google isn't doing the same (and Facebook, and Yahoo, and everybody else), I have a nice bridge I can sell you.

    :omg: How would they do that? By flapping helplessly while trying to breath on the streets? That doesn't sound very scary. Well, unless you're a shark, of course. :wtf:

  • Does anybody 'Hide extensions for known file types'?
    C Carlos Fonseca

    Well, I always disable that option but I understand why its enabled by default. As others have said, non-techies don't really care about files and they don't want to care. They do care about the "report for the boss", or the "invoice for customer x", or the "budget for 2013". And those were the names they typed when they saved their work, so suddendly the "report for the boss" becoming "report for the boss.docx" or "budget for 2013" becoming "budget for 2013.xlsx" *can* be confusing. Also, your average user never starts an application from anywhere but either the start menu (and that's the reason taking it away in Windows 8 is such a big problem) or a shortcut in the desktop or the taskbar. Or, and this happens a lot, from one of the many actual files they keep on the desktop. So they never *ever* have to tell "excel.exe" from "excel.exe.manifest", and even if they did, "excel" (as it shows when the extensions are hidden) would have an icon they associate with, well, Excel, and "excel.exe" would not. Not confusing at all.

  • It's official
    C Carlos Fonseca

    Well, clearly it was a mistake trying to develop new products to increase profits instead of increasing profits, err, I mean shareholder value by ummm... unlocking it by proactively optimizing the synergies with sales driven benchmarks with a top down goal oriented approach. Now is probably a good time to freshen up the CV...

  • Naming and Shaming
    C Carlos Fonseca

    From what I've read around the web, Microsoft itself has put the update on hold because it seems that for some people, WP 7.8 breaks the live tiles updates. It happened to me, so there's some truth to that rumour (some apps live tiles stop updating, I have a few apps that have the live tile stuck on the day I installed the update -- but the apps still work fine). So instead of letting everybody install a broken version and then at some point in time install an update to fix it, you'll only be getting the hopefully fixed version. But this is Microsoft we're talking about, so how knows when that update will come. If at all...

  • Emergency Coding Pack
    C Carlos Fonseca

    Yes, but suppose there's a zombie apocalypse and you have to hack the highly advanced self-aware supercomputer that's spreading the zombie virus to save humanity? Or aliens from Planet X attack and you have to hack the mothership to once again save humanity? Then you'll regret not having an emergency coding pack.

    Of course there's a solution with webservices! You can do anything with webservices, you just need enough of them. And lots and lots of really verbose XML. Can't have a solution with webservices without lots of XML! :rolleyes:

  • What Killed the Linux Desktop
    C Carlos Fonseca

    Easy: some other article here has this quoute: "I want to focus on the job…I don’t want to think of myself as using a computer, I want to think of myself as doing my job" This is something that the Linux folks don't get. People don't "use" Windows, they do their jobs, and Windows mostly gets out of their way while they're doing it. Miguel gets this, and that's why he loves is Mac and OS X. Because he doesn't have to "use" OS X, he simply can get his job done.

  • Irate Rating Rant
    C Carlos Fonseca

    Actually, the rating agencies *are* seriously broken, they get payed by debt issuers to evaluate their ability to pay the debt they're about to sell. They get payed to determine the "safety" of investment funds that investment banks are about to sell. Can you spot the conflict of interest? And lets not forget, all the fund of the Lehman's Bank had AAA ratings the day before the bank went broke.
