So, as a rule, I don't get motion sick from screen-based entertainment. I've enjoyed all manner of Video Game, music videos, and even endured Michael Bay movies, without any problems. But I absolutely cannot deal with the visual s

Also I suspect that there's no real teeth in that angry email. If the big boss is frustrated by the UX, they might send an angry email or even yell at you in person. If your division doesn't meet its sales projection for the quart

Hmm. Are you aware of any publicly identifiable security researchers that openly talk about selling their exploits on the black market? Since it's all so legal and risk-free, you'd think selling an exploit for a million bucks woul
