Intel has driven a dagger through Microsoft's mobile strategy

The wintel relationship was a US Government protectionist racket to make money for America and lock out competition. It's not needed, no thank you.

Do you know where your trade secrets are?

You might also want to ban all smart watches and force employees to remove batteries from their phones. Seeing as smart watches forward on all audible data to centralised servers for speech recognition. And phones can be turned on remotely without any clue that they have been.

1) Encrypt everything.

2) Do not use American products.

3) Develop as much tooling as you can in house.

4) Do not have direct connectivity to the outside world.

If your data stays out of the hands of GCHQ it wont be given to the NSA who will then sell it off to American enterprises UK is competing directly against.

In case you think that this is melodramatic see the ongoing lawsuit with trade secrets from Airbus, which mysteriously showed up in America.

Or Siemenn's nuclear centrifuge operating data, that mysteriously showed up in stuxnet.

Neo4j CEO: We're at 'a huge inflection point for graph databases'

They need to stop stealing my plans to take over the world. I had these ideas 10 years ago.

Stanford boffin is first woman to bag 'math Nobel Prize'

So the question is, does this relate to Fermat's Last Theorem and the Taniyama-Shimura Conjecture ?

Ten years in the clink, file-sharing monsters! (If UK govt gets its way)

Killing UK citizen. 8 years.

Harming someone's yacht repayments in America who steals ideas from Britain without paying, copyrights it, monopolizes it through the IP law system and inserts itself like a cockroach between the user and the artist. 10 years.

I fail to see how the UK, with a trade deficit, and negligible intellectual property to speak of, is so eager to enforce laws that make no sense and force the uk people to pay American middlemen.

Let's not forget, not a single penny of piracy lawsuits goes to the artist. Let's not forget also that Hollywood claim losses, that's more than the GDP of the entire planet on copyright infringement in order that they don't have to pay any taxes. Lets not forget also that piracy is the holy grail of information sharing and that a wonder of the world was actually a library once upon a time.

Seems like humanity has fallen behind a few thousand years culturally.

Spear phishers target gullible Brits more than anyone else – survey

In a country where people are people call the police over someone getting trolled. I am not surprised we are targetted. Are you?

Cash, fear and uncertainty: The Holy Trinity of Bitcoin and blockchain

Re: Completely Missed the point

"Banks exist to give people a relatively trustworthy place to keep their money."

- Relatively to what? P2p banks? Gold? Silver? Mattress stuffing?

"Everything we have seen with BitCoin suggests thats one of its major flaws"

- generalising much? Everyone?

"either your PC and wallet get p0wned or some scumbag in an Exchange runs off with it instead."

- so secure your PC, encrypt your wallet and back it up and don't leave your bitcoin for ages in SPV wallets or exchanges.

Hey, tech industry, have you noticed Amazon in the rearview?

Re: Amazon?

Even when I know exactly the very thing that I am looking for, I still can't find it on Amazon. It's easier to find stuff on Amazon through Google, than it is through Amazon. And lets face it, Google search results are now what they used to be...

Ebooks more expensive that books

Can someone explain to me, why second hand books on Amazon are cheaper than Ebooks for the kindle? How does that work?

GCHQ is having problems meeting Osborne's 2020 recruitment target

Re: People are keen to join us in our work

Or they see what you're doing as profoundly unethical and wouldn't do it for any amount of money.

I love UK...

...which is why I don't assist America by helping them spy on English businesses...
