Hello, I m a Indonesian Blackberry usr. My country is spyin on me and I got 2 get a lot of $$$ out of the country. Plz help. Let me store sum $$$ in ur bank 4 a bit. txt me the acnt num, U can has interest 4 thx.
Meh, patent this crap all you want Apple because I claim copyright on all the actions I take it the games I play.
Your patent will be public domain in 18 years, but with the current state of Copyright law I'll own my game-play-through-comics until everyone on the planet is dead.
Until patent expiration Apple may choose to prevent me from making and selling my own game-play-through-comics, but that's OK because my copyright will keep them from selling comics I make that infringe.
The ISP should only be reading the source and destination IPs of the data and forwarding it along. To prioritize data based on which IP (read Company) that a packet of data is coming from ISPs need only the routing information.
Google and Verizon have stated that this is not what they are talking about doing. They want to allow priority escalation based on content type. Normal routing frames do not contain a field denoting content type "I'm a web page" or "I'm video" or "this data is voice".
In order to prioritize based on data type ISPs must perform deep packet inspection.
With HTTP (over TCP/IP) they could read the optional "Content-Type" HTTP header... (...after skipping past the specific web page URL info? yeah, sure, they'll just ignore that juicy bit.)
This might work with web pages and some types of images and video, but not all traffic and certainly not voice. The "Content-Type" header is optional, in fact it's quite frequently hard to find without full packet scanning in place. Thanks to the "Keep Alive" option HTTP frequently avoids making a new connect for each piece of content. The only way to see that a video has started streaming for sure is to scan the entire content of every packet looking for a video "Content-Type". Since you're scanning the entire content might as well log some of it and check for a few other key words too, eh?
Most voice over IP (e.g. Skype) is done over UDP, and uses proprietary or encrypted data. Tell me again how you'll prioritize a packet that is encrypted voice and not encrypted Bittorrent or any other proprietary data format? (You guessed it: Impossible to do! Encryption is designed to combat Deep Packet Inspection.) Prioritizing can still be done by only looking at the source and destination IPs though... except with P2P protocols like Bittorrent... or Skype!
Ignoring the fact that it's an impossible and unethical violation of privacy lets suppose a Deep Packet Inspection approach could prioritize based on data type alone. This means you're matching certain known patterns of data... It's not like there will ever be any new data formats, right?
Wrong! OK, so when a start up invents a better way to send video or voice or web page traffic (HTTP over BT?) the glorious filter system will not know to prioritize it. It will be slower than other prioritized content of the same sort of media. How will it compete with Google or H264 or Skype? A big company can use clout and $$$ to get their data formats prioritized, but what about you or me?
Content production companies will also suffer "vendor lock in" because they would be foolish to use a new superior video delivery format since it will be slower (unprioritized) than what the big companies provide.
Google, you're not pulling the wool over my eyes, and Verizon, I've known what you were up to from word go. I wouldn't be surprised if MS, Apple and Adobe all agree with Deep Packet Inspection Anit-Net-Neutral tiering when they realize it provides vendor lock in potential.
Android -> Dvalik. Android also has support for OpenGL and Native C++ Code, but still probably no.
The real time "shadows" seemed to be just dark spot decals. Also, I didn't see any dynamic lighting besides the most basic directional vertex lighting on the moving models; Otherwise it looked like a bunch of precomputed lightmaps/textures to me.
Meh. It's "Rage" (or IDTech5) only in name. Many Android phones could handle this no problem...
I don't see what the big deal is. Article title should have been: "id still making mobile games and releasing source code"

You really don't get how modern DRM works, do you?
Neither do you, apparently.
AACS works by encrypting the disk's key with every allowed player key and placing the resultant block of encrypted keys on the disk. To decrypt a disk the player tries its own key on each encryption key in the block until it decrypts a key that can play the disk, or it runs out of keys to try.
To revoke a key they simply stop including a player's key in the batch of encryption keys in the block of keys.
This is fundamentally flawed because the decryption keys are on the disk / player. In order to play the media your player must have a good key...
When they (Sony) revokes a key that your player was using you need to update that player with a new key, and once again give the hackers a new key to discover.
They won't run out of keys because they make more and require updates. However, it only takes one cracked player key to decrypt all movies currently released. When Sony finds out and stops including the cracked key it doesn't keep you from using the cracked key on older releases, just new ones.
You see, there is no "reveal the functionality bit by bit with new discs," and putting the key on the disk (or under your welcome mat) is not secure.
I am one of them. I do not own or watch a TV or crappy movies or "pop music". There is too much life to live to waste it on TV or "pop music".
Occasionally I do watch a few independent videos via the Internet. For music I enjoy the local music scene 2 to 4 times a week and purchase recordings directly from the authors.
I rarely consume bland mainstream media, but when I do I prefer it to be interactive and engaging (i.e. video games).
Company X earns Y amount of profit annually. Company X's stock market price increases or decreases due to market perceptions. Company X still earns Y amount of profit annually, but its its stock price reflects a different value.
Yahoo's stock price raised when Microsoft wanted to purchase them, and tanked after Yahoo's refusal to sell; This affected stock price of Yahoo even though they still earned the same profit annually...
Apple's walled garden does nothing to prevent the kind of malware you described. Getting hidden malicious functionality through the approval process would be a cinch.
We often don't mind if a site uses it to target advertisements, but are less sanguine when it sells data to third parties.
The problem isn't that the company collects the data, it is that they then sell it to third parties to make a profit.
Especially when the sale is made without consulting the data itself; Putting data to work without it's consent is data slavery! Information wants to be Free!
...and the "vaccine" was delivered as a retrovirus in many small batches to specific locations such that anyone vaccinated can have their DNA analyzed to determine their origin as of V-Day.

You're lucky, or rather the kitten was, or perhaps I'm just not...
The same sort of thing happened to me except I opened the hood to find the mangled bloody remains of a cat strewn about the engine...
Since then I always bang the hood of my truck a few times before attempting to start it up to scare off any animals that may have used the engine a nice warm shelter for the night.
Well... if the US hadn't gone to war in the first place, or had actual security for their classified documents, or would "man up" when they kill innocents then this wouldn't be an issue.
Do you really trust a government that lies to you and hides information from you in order to keep you in the dark about killing innocents? If so, you may regret your decision if you or an innocent loved one becomes a civilian casualty due to wars you have no means to stop.
How can you approve or disapprove of (vote for or against) a government that won't give you the information you need to decide?

You better start hiding the electrical grid you attach that equipment to as well.
(Go Solar!)

Of course, Never marry someone who is more 1337 than you are.
So, were you listening to Alanis Morissette and you thought of that, or did you think of that and then go listen to Alanis Morissette?
Nope. I think it would be ironic if everyone was made of iron.
The market itself is the fallacy.
Company X earns Y amount of profit annually.

Company X still earns Y amount of profit annually, but its its stock price reflects a different value.

Yep, even teenagers can get trojan apps past Apple's approval process.
I don't see any point to carrying around the latter, nobody on /. will ever get a chance to use it
Hey! Sure I will, (I don't want to get my Realdoll messy).

Yes, but Lawful Neutral would be optimal...

Sometimes sleeping like a log can get you killed.
