Researchers at IBM have recently devised a new technique to virtually patch security vulnerabilities before they are found. Is it called 'debugging'?

Huh, so developing a technique to catch vulnerabilities before they're released never made it past the advisory board? I supposed you can't sell as many products that way. Here's the software and the software that monitors the software, and a monitor that monitors the monitor software....

UK-based comparison site Compare the Market has done some interesting research looking at the costs and speeds of broadband around the world. So prepare to be made jealous, or smug, depending on where you live. +1 on the 'jealous' list

Don't get too down.
It's betanews, so it's clickbait bollocks.

Wouldn't it take an hour to download an hour of Netflix ?

Well, they do let you download shows so you can watch them offline. That's what I was assuming they meant. Either that, or the people in Singapore are really, really efficient at binge-watching.

Haha.
But seriously, I just realised that the stats miss one glaring problem, which is data caps. I am not sure where these stack up with bandwidth across various countries. But things like Youtube monitor bandwidth and scale quality to some degree. This has hit me multiple times on phone where I might have amazing lte coverage, but I do not want the 1080 resolution on my phone eating up my limited data plan.
consider someone at home, they used to using less then 200gb per month. then they go from 5mb to 50mb, yeah wow. but same data cap.
They not realise but youtube sees the change and ups 720 or 480 to the now 1080 they user it thinks wants. 10 days in, no more internet, what happened?!?

Oh, some countries have even higher upload speeds than download speeds.
What's that useful for beyond 1984?

Microsoft is staffing up an internal Inner Source initiative to bring open-source principles, methodologies and tools for use by development teams inside the company. Then everyone can fork Windows
I was going to go with "Wasn't that the movie with Martin Short?", but even I didn't get that one.

We need to start paying attention to such a huge community!zdnet also wrote: Inner Source tools and methods can be used to develop open and/or closed-source projects and products. So it's like, what, a development team, yeah?
It's such an original idea that I almost farted.
zdnet just wouldn't shut up! Microsoft's 1ES (One Engineering System) group So that's, like, what, a team that make apps that can be used across the whole universe of ms products, yeah?
Some people might describe that as "A pile of dung by any other name"
I'd tend to agree with them.

I’ve been analyzing survey data from IT end users for over 15 years, and responses received from business managers and even CIOs are often drastically different than what actual practitioners say. It's only fair - I have no clue what the CxOs do all day either

|

tl;dr: managers don't have a clue.
Stunningly novel news.

The gravy train, as it always does, is grinding to a halt.
If fb and google had any sense, they'd proactively stop doing evil, but, obviously, that ain't going to happen.

Many developers today feel like they’re building a rocket ship only to launch it into a black hole. They do all this work to create something great, and then never really know if it’s valuable to their customers. I'm guessing they'll have something to sell you to fix your problems
But still, interesting numbers out of the (too small) study

Microsoft once again changes definitions of Windows 10 updates, but it should make life simpler. Did they redefine an update as 'something to avoid'?

They don't need to make it easier to understand... they need to make it configurable and give the user the option to choose what he wants if he wants to.

Obviously, some people still fail to understand it.
An automated update is a process by which Microsoft proves that Microsoft owns your computer.
That's it!
