[Weirdo’s – closing at 17:00h … doesn’t time melt for this artist, in this country (sic) …?]
Yes here’s the November edition of my Wired / Tired / Expired jargon watch overviews, a mixed bag again:
| WIRED | TIRED | EXPIRED |
| Yik Yak, Ello, Tsu | The other anons (?) | Whatsapp et al |
| As in this, where as only the very old folks remember fubbuk started. And the other ones, here. | Already not making it past the tipping point? I mean, where are Whisper / Kik / Telegram / WeChat / Line / Viber / Wicker / Threema / surespot ? And this, as elsewhere on this blog. | Mehhh, as in the elsewhere mentioned on the left. |
| Poodle | Beast | Heartbleed |
| Because it’s “not much of an issue” as it affects end point consumers only … OUTRAGE! They are your customers, they are the huge numbers, they are the incapable to cure (also since a fraction of B2C’s doesn’t effing care). If only server-owning companies were the vulnerable, with their very few numbers, their resolution capacity, and their economic interests. | Yeah, yeah, working on it. | Really? Still? |
| Taking action | Taking symbolic action | Taking no action / denying any problems (tie) |
| E.g., by forking out another $250M, not just peanuts. Because pay the peanuts, get the monkeys. | … Or is the previous still only window dressing ..? Maybe some, silent, action might’ve cost much less. Anyway, symbolic action will prove to be the infosec czar’s new clothes. | Legally invalid. Demonstrating incapacity to function normally in today’s business world. |
| Docker | Google Docs | ‘Private cloud’ |
| Just as in this, and this and this – since the latter two. | Into the main stream. | Dumb outsourced data center, virtual or not. With all the privacy ramifications, without scalability (!) or efficiencies. |
| IoT detailing ever further | IoT! Mixed up with Wearables et al. | Cloud, ROSI etc.etc. |
| This kind of details … And these. | Pls learn to discriminate or you mess up the discussions. Which will be, at all levels of abstraction and everywhere, as under W. | Totalitarian Bureaucrat talk. |
| Not caring (to be seen) |
Faux 1% philantropy | Posing |
| Hanging out at http://www.beriestain.com/ for example, just among like-minded self-sufficients (for peace of mind, not needing external recognition). | Clearly, this. | Uggg-gh! |
OK, any suggestions for next month’s edition ..?
