Report: Google to launch wireless service this year | Ars Technica

Google drops three OS X 0days on Apple | Ars Technica

In the past two days, Project Zero has disclosed OS X vulnerabilities here, here, and here. At first glance, none of them appear to be highly critical, since all three appear to require the attacker to already have some access to a targeted machine. What’s more, the first vulnerability, the one involving the “networkd ‘effective_audit_token’ XPC,” may already have been mitigated in OS X Yosemite, but if so the Google advisory doesn’t make this explicit and Apple doesn’t publicly discuss security matters with reporters.

Still, the exploits could be combined with a separate attack to elevate lower-level privileges and gain control over vulnerable Macs.

Surface RT Devices Won’t Get Windows 10

In its announcement of Windows 10, Microsoft indicated not all devices would get the updated operating system. Now, Microsoft says its Surface devices running Windows RT won’t be receiving full updates, though it does plan to roll some new functionality into them. “Given that Windows RT and RT 8.1 were designed for power economizing devices sporting 32-bit ARM architecture, and never had the same functionality — to many users’ frustration — as full-blown Windows 8 and 8.1, it comes as little surprise that the RT versions of the operating system should be left out of the latest update loop. In fact, a week before Microsoft’s big Windows 10 reveal on January 21, the company released firmware updates for all three models of its Intel-powered Surface Pro series, but neither of the ARM-based Surface tablets — the Surface 2 or Surface RT — received any new updates this month.” The Surface Pro line of tablets, which run a normal version of Windows, will be getting an update to Windows 10.

“Hi Chris Michael,

Just wondering what your thoughts are on learning/doing desktop apps compared to say web apps. Where do you see the shift or direction in programming going? Do you see more options for website/internet programming (Ruby,Perl, ASP, Javascript etc. ) or is it better to learn a system \”desktop application\” type language such as (Python, C#, Java etc.)

Is Desktop applications still a worthwhile cause?

Thank you for the tips and knowledge.

“When I referenced \”beauty\” I meant the design of C++ as a language, and how one can write in it very freely.”

• A web developer wants to know why we hate Firefox and sees a trend for web devs to focus on webKit.
• Jason asks:

So, here is where I am really stuck. How do you sit down and design something like a game? What tips would you give for actually laying out the design of the code, and the UI that you need? I come from a heavy web background, and have been doing mostly procedural languages for the past 10 years. I have the training in OO, but haven\’t been using the skills.

Mostly, I\’m curious about the design side of apps and gaming. How do you do this so it doesn\’t take on a life of its own, but still gives me the direction I need to move forward?”
