The Blog indicates early in 2020, article early 2019?
"Microsoft noted on Monday that fewer than “one per cent of daily connections in Microsoft Edge are using TLS 1.0 or 1.1.” Edge and Internet Explorer will ditch their TLS 1.0 and 1.1 support in the first half of next year, Redmond said, which puts the software giant ahead of the pack, since the other major browsers will start the process in 2020."
Nickolodeon shows that my little ones watch like iCarly and Victorious use Pear products with a pear logo in place of the Apple on macbooks, ipads, iphone replacements.
iCarly was also sued by Apple for using the Magic i http://www.esarcasm.com/23846/apple-lawsuit-icarly/
We worked hard for months certifying everything in advance and looked forward to some on call only to be told IT were not needed as we had done our work too well but that Estates who had done nothing would be on a weeks overtime for the night just in case one of their untested systems (Alarms etc) had an issue.
Quarantining executable attachments would include every doc, docm, xls, xlsm, pdf, rtf .
This probably covers at least a few thousand a day,are they going to employ an entire call centre to look at these emails and evaluate them and release them every day?
And that' just the basic office executable attachments, ignoring the more esoteric and links.
Also having run the major malicious TeslaCrypt, Locky attachments and Angler links my organisation received through testing last week no major AV vendors identified them for the first 12 hours.
Links for these things are often to a hacked subdomain of a valid site in order to defeat category based web filtering, they then go on a round robin of scripts based on the identity of the browser to evade checks.
If you are in a Large Organisation, even with filtering, application control, AV, Appsense and email content control the only thing between you and ransomeware is Luck.
"Apple merely promised publishers it would not sell at a loss. Publishers maintained their wholesale agreements with Amazon. Retail prices briefly flickered from just over $8 to just under $10, and were more widely dispersed after Apple's unsuccessful entry. "
This is a joke right? on what planet do ebook costs remotely approach what amazon charge never mind apples fantasy. Don't forget most of the costs would have to be borne by the dead tree release anyway.
I'm confused...
Android lost has been running for years providing just this functionality through the Google play store.

Does everyone with android not already use this?
To be fair the IT security section will just be implementing best practice, industry standards and the minimum levels neccessary to meet legislative requirements for PSN connections, PCI and the recommendations of the mandatory penetration tests.
They will not have much of a choice, only being able to advise what needs doing to meet a 3rd party requirement, the technical architects will often then be the ones coming up with the solution that everyone in IT hates to meet this.
Well of course that would be nice.... rather than just getting rid of the quango because you don't believe in regulation like Cameron and not replacing it with anything because this cuts red tape that affects British Business competitive edge (or some such similar bullshit)
Great idea, things will be so much better without it.

Dont forget filling the science class tap nozzles with tissue paper then putting them on full over a sink with a wooden lid and a hole, under the hole in sink would be a petri dish with a bit of reactive metal like sodium.
wooden sink lid goes a few feet at least but there was no-one there..
Most of the size there is in the monitoring equipment for which there is no need. These days the Norks or anyone else could easily enough get something down to the size of a standard shipping container. Assuming they had no need of additional shielding to prevent it being found i.e was going to be lit off before the container was processed in US dockyards
The disposable battlefield low orbit constellation of satellites has been a mainstay of Dale Brown books for many years (Bargain bin at the pound shop or supermarket for details) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dale-Brown/e/B000APTUTC
This man is obviously a spy...
Where are the "Tin Man" suits is what I want to know?
I once went on a course just outside London, 2 young women (early 20's) who had driven down together from Liverpool didnt arrive until the next morning. When we asked why they admitted they had got to the M6 and turned left (North) instead of right (South)and ended up in scotland before they realised, they then had to retrace and get to the course adding an extra 300 miles to their journey.
8 a day...
So that 353 councils x 8 RIPA uses = 2824 total RIPA use by councils per year
Get rid of Crazy southern nutter council and you can drop off to 352 councils and only 2509
So 99.99 of councils have averaged 7.4 RIPA uses per year, and when you consider all the uses trading standards will have to log under this... firework sales monitoring, booze, fags, pets, meat trading... its a tiny amount.
they have blocked TPB in a really half assed manner that makes it a doddle to circumvent, they have gone just as far as legally required and no more.
Of course why would you even need 100MB broadband if not for TPB and its Ilk, VM are just protecting their bottom line while trying to seem to be doing all they can to the court.
"Searches for his name, 'Bo Xilai', and the name of his son 'Zhou Yongkang' pulled up the following error message:"
