So much for "Move fast and break things"

from here

I keep thinking there's nothing Facebook can do that surprises me anymore, but Facebook keeps proving me wrong.

It's surprisingly effective

I suppose if you're going to trick people into downloading something they wouldn't want, dressing it up like something everyone needs is bound to work pretty well.

What's next, the Caesar cipher?

from here

Cisco may discourage it's use, but for a cipher that was broken in 1863 it's hard to understand why it would be in modern equipment, or even legacy equipment at all. At some point backwards compatibility just becomes plain backwards.

Thanks to Liam O for tweeting about this ridiculous state of affairs.

Still not quite private enough

I hope she's just sitting on the barrier. Either that or she used to be a magician's assistant before a horrible workplace accident, because I'm pretty sure we don't actually have camouflage that good yet.

MySpace must have a lot more free space now

from here

I can't imagine many people are going to give MySpace another chance after they lost more than a decade of data. Their job was to keep the data their users uploaded safe and available and they failed in a rather spectacular way. If you thought MySpace was dead before...

I know what you're providing and it ain't managed security

found on Imgur

If you're thinking of selling managed security as a service, you better be able to provide your own employees with security services (like facilities for sharing documents securely) before you try offering them to others. Otherwise you're just providing bullshit with a fancy name. According to the Imgur post, not every provider sees it that way.
