A password with no numeric character is too weak!

It is scary that this plain and simple testable feature is broken. The only conclusion is, that the guys at M$ arent testing what they are releasing.

I don't see what the fuss is about. Doesn't everyone speak English? And only English?

Ja, wir alle sprechen Inglés.  
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

Ah, now I understand: they found out that too many Indians used their name in Latin script as username, and their name in an Indian script as password. You bad guys! Now Microsoft helps you get rid of that bad habit!

A new report by Puppet unveils how much IT practitioners are earning all over the globe. A "six figure salary" just isn't as cool as it used to be.
|
|
|
|
|
And we are not one of them
|
|
|
|

In India, a four-figure salary is equally as impressive (in India).

Next, the company plans to take on WebP with its neural network approach. Or, just set that slider to 25% quality - instant tiny JPEGs!

 Wish it will be release soon

The actual paper[^] (why don't we get those in the insider news btw? it's not like we're laypeople who need the layman explanation) mentions they use MS-SSIM and PSNR-HVS as quality measures. Certainly a better idea than using PSNR or (god forbid) MSE, but still blurred too much. It seems that everything underestimates the importance of visual energy and over-penalizes noise, even though the point of SSIM was to compensate for that. Noise isn't necessarily so bad, it adds visual energy which we are more sensitive to than the exact phase of the higher frequencies, but even SSIM really prefers the phase to be the same too (because it cares too much about the covariance) and therefore ends up penalizing images that look fine but differ by a lot in many pixels because the noise moved a bit.
They should try this with an actual psy opt metric.

So it's not just Google, the entire industry is elephanted. That makes me feel so much better.
Are we really sure that any of these new fangled modern formats like .bmp or .gif are really better than a simple .pcx (run length encoding FTW!) file?

Remember, this is the same company which claims VP9 is better that H.265.
(Google's vaporware is interesting in that it exists, but rarely lives up to its promise. Their engineers seem to get bored at the proof-of-concept stage and walk away, so almost everything they make seems half-baked. And they don't care. But, what if they did care? The world trembles.)

So true. I think they like to toss stuff out, expecting everyone else to jump in and finish it (ala SPDY -> HTTP/2)

Oracle has revealed its interim plan to help Java devs deal with browser-makers' imminent banishment of plug-ins. Just in time for when no browser will support them

Who still using it?? so many security loop hole

I'd bet there are still a shocking number of mission-critical enterprise apps that only run as Java applets...or as ActiveX controls that only work when embedded in a page in IE4.
|
|
|
|
|
They're just marking it as obsolete, but not indicating that it's going away... So basically anyone stupid enough to only look at whOracle's documentation will see something that only appears to acknowledge the events of the last decade have made java craplets not the preferred way to do anything; but receive no warning that within a year or so no modern browser will be able to run them at all.

A big reason for low adoption could be that they are less secure. And while many are touting the security of biometrics, there are four issues to consider when evaluating the technology. You can't cut off someone's password?

|
|
|
|
 agree and again you can not read mind for now
|

Biometrics are more safe because some of the lazy people which dont use will use it.
And passwords can be recorded by cameras or key loggers.
It all has "some level" of security.

But they use it in all the sci-fi movies -- it has to be more secure!!!
