Why are fervid Googlers making ad-blocker-breaking changes to Chrome? Because they created a monster – and are fighting to secure it

Everytime Chrome asks to save a password, I say NO, and it saves it anyways. I use a password manager. So for my sensitive logons, I use a different browser and let chrome have the secondary sites, that mean nothing to me.

FBI chief asks tech industry to build crypto-busting not-a-backdoor

Just like the goings on with the Secret FISA court. As it is now Warrants are easy to get, look at the example of the Steele Dossier used for spying on Americans.

Windows 8 tablets unwrapped in Berlin: Dell goes keyless for ARM

I'm amazed at how easy people are swayed by media hype. When Netbooks came out, the industry complained amongst themselves and leaked emails how they just shot themselves in the foot by creating Netbooks, which had to be priced lower then laptops and the profit margin was ridiculously low compared to laptops. Netbooks had 320gig or higher storage,2 gig mem,10.1 screen for about $250 or less on sale. Now come the tablets and all the peripherals to turn them into Netbooks,hint Keyboards, 1gig mem, 16,32,64 gig storage, when they first came out at an entry point of$499. Record sales and profit by the wheelbarrow full. Since the Kindle came out at $199 the rest of the pack had to lower their prices even tho the Kindle wasn't quite a Tablet, which millions didn't see, and they were more interested in the books. The tablets today at a lower entry price is still very very profitable vs the Netbook. The netbook still gives you more value for your money. By the time I put a vinyl or leather jacket around my 10" tablet to protect the screen, its as thick as a netbook. my 2 cents.
