I was surprised how often I encountered gotoMeeting over the last few years. I did not really like the software: The user interface is horrible, it is not available on Linux (which I am using), and the Android app seems unstable. Yesterday I used TeamViewer for the first time, I was pleasantly surprised: It worked…

Like Dirk, I find this point of view regrettable and his arguments rather unconvincing. I publish a lot myself. Conveniently, Mr. Vardi talks about costs…
TrueCrypt is shutting down. I strongly doubt that the official reason (loss of interest) is the true one. Why release a crippled 7.2 (cannot create new encrypted containers)? Why remove all references to older versions and to the source code (the source code is not accessible on SourceForge any more)? May it as it be,…
