It should be illegal?
I'd rather the government not control business that much.
Sure, you'd rather the unelected, rapacious telecom giants collude and control your experience (and wallet) instead. I love you libertarians, who would rather the fascist corporate control over the government boogeyman.
Yay for freedom! (offer valid only for large corporations)
Unfortunately that's no longer possible as Youtube/Google seems to have outlawed parodies and freedom of expression/dissent in favor of draconian law.

Google is a private entity, unless you think that they are somehow owned/run by the government... and thus do not have to allow *anything* on their site. It may not follow their "do not evil" mantra, but it's well within their rights, and it's now being "outlawed".
If the regulators are basically at the whim of the industry, then clearly, they don't have much to do...
The de-regulationists will say this is government waste and move to disband or "rightsize" the SEC.
Meanwhile, everyone else is concerned about regulatory capture. This is a clear indicator.
I'd say, yes, it is personal, but here's the backstory. Here's the lede:
In 1996 when Apple was seemingly on the ropes, Adobe made a crucial business decision and one that is coming back to bite them in the ass. They declared that their primary development platform would be Windows; subsequently, every new application or major revision of a product was introduced for Windows first and followed months later, sometimes never at all, by a Mac version.
Personally, it's just business, but Jobs has a long memory, and although I think Adobe made the right decision in 1996, fast-forward 14 years, they haven't adapted. Their business to lose, Apple is ascendant, and Adobe sounds like they're a poor loser. I guess we'll see how Android+Adobe+HTC competes with Apple (since Palm is looking like it's flaming out, and well, Microsoft has been bad at mobile since day one).
I think you only need two kinds of people to create a technology hub: rich people and nerds. They're the limiting reagents in the reaction that produces startups, because they're the only ones present when startups get started. Everyone else will move.
Personally, I think there need to realistically be three things, in proper order
A place people like to live
Universities
Military and research installations
These three conspire to attract rich people and nerds as the article states. That SUN (Stanford University Network), HP and Google are directly from Stanford, and that Oracle got it's start as a government project are quite good examples.
Seriously, we "frame" all our intranet IE users. The site works in IE, but CF gives us a way to do CSS3/JS features that gracefully fail on IE. If the user wants the good experience they run FF, Safari, Chrome, or Opera... or simply follow the prompt to install ChromeFrame.
This product is obviously just a photoshop... if someone were releasing it, they'd clearly run afoul of trade dress IP violations with Apple, at the very least. It's amazing folks are actually bidding for this obvious fake.
What if the Oort cloud is actually spread throughout entire known universe (ie, dark matter)
What if the heliosheath, the magnetic/radiation field generated by our sun, is our effective "deflector shield" that keeps the solar system as serene as it is?
We need to develop better instrumentation and send probes to be able to find this out (when we get data from one of the Voyagers that goes past the bow shock, we'll probably find out clearly).
Microsoft, Google and Apple all want Flash to die.
Given the way Apple and Microsoft are heading, I sense a partnership between Google and Adobe brewing. They definitely both compete directly against Microsoft and Apple, but not against each other.
Wrong. 3rd-gen iPod Touches (ie, 32GB, 64GB models released in 2009) work also. Presumably this is due to the lack of the performance/capability of the chipset found in the 2G, 3G iPhones and 1st & 2nd gen iPod Touch.
You do realize that all of those are public utilities, and if not run by the government, are regulated heavily?
Once you add decent, enforced regulation, I'd be happy with metered access. Til then, no fucking way I'm going to Comcast/Verizon/ATT pad their profits because they happen to, between them, have 90% of all broadband and mobile internet (last mile) access.
I don't follow. If you're not going to leak the keys, what's the point of leaking the video?
If I want someone to view a (sensitive) photo, I send them the photo, I don't give them the keys to my server... in this case, you send the unencrypted video, and NOT the keys. The authenticity can be ascertained by the content. Sending the keys would be a crime of high order, I imagine. Sending a video of criminal activity might be illegal but protected under whistleblower laws.
If they're going to leak the video, why not leak the keys too?
Because they're not traitors, that's why.
Whistleblowers are some of the most patriotic people in the government because they see the evil that is done in the name of the people and expose it. That doesn't mean they hate the government, quite the opposite.
A document that's infected would still need to be opened, and thus presents a vector that needs to be scanned against. Given the recent PDF exploit issues, I think this is still an large attack profile... still necessitating virus scanners (and app firewalls).
Still, this is still a great advancement... will be interesting to see what performance impact this has.

The Apple Two

I mean, it's really official.
You're right, this article is about 3 years too late... as soon as Apple announced the iPhone (a completely closed, computing appliance diametrically opposed to the Apple I and ][), any trace of Woz's idealism and spirit were finally rinsed clean.
Also no default home page (short of saving the URL as an icon in the iPad's home).
This is a feature, not a bug. Be glad Apple didn't pimp their apple.com site statistics... if any other vendor sold the iPad, it would put a useless default homepage that only served to pump their site stats (MSN?)... about:blank is exactly what I set on all browsers. The workaround to use a home dock icon is quite decent, I think, don't you?
Minor military fuckups like this happen all over the world everyday, it's not a problem unique to the US.
Yeah, and it's the US's hypocrisy that really chaps people's hide - "You should stand for freedom of the press!" while their military gunning down journalists and hides/denies the action.
Noone says that the US is the most brutal government (far from it), but when it does not practice what it preaches, scorn, derision and hatred ensues.
what if she used her private email to send email with sensitive company info to a competitor?
What's stopping her from putting a file into her briefcase/backpack and taking it home and sending it there? What about thumbdrives or synched cell-phones (which allow file-storage)?
Face it, unless the worker is in a secured area, the "need to monitor all traffic to prevent leaks" is borderline paranoiac. There needs to be an appropriate level of trust (this includes carrots and threats-of-sticks) for any worker to be productive.
Outsourcing that job to a private corporation to hold the national monopoly is asking for trouble. There will be no pool of private competitors competing for that contract, because the national market supports only one vendor: the one who wins that contract. That circular setup means the benefits of competition to produce the best candidate will not.
Isn't this what mandated open standards and "all your work is belong to US" kind of government IP contact designed to prevent against?

Perhaps Senator Franken thinks the same thing?

Whatever they do now seems to be a pale caricature of reality... why is this the case?
Were they always this clueless?
It's sad... so much talent.
Chrome Frame FTW!

US: leading in "Andriod", a mobile OS.
Japan: leading in actual android robotic research.

Good for Canonical... a major pain in modern consumer electronics is data/metadata sync, and one that's worth paying to have solved properly.
Can you test if firebug lite works?
