Lot's of tech fantasy, zero fact. No company could ever legally negotiate the deal you described above. Please, take off your tinfoil hat and get real.
I think this might be a positive development. Show them how your $100 Linux "dumbphone" can actually do twice as much as the $499 Windows "smartphone", twice as fast.
There won't be Web 2.0 on a $100 phone, but I guess you can write quite nice integrated solutions if you know a bit of UNIX and C.
It was not announced to the press. You can clearly see on the video that this is an internal, employees-only event. Whether the video recording of the event was leaked on purpose is a whole another question, though. But the submitter and parent did obviously not WTFV, and the./ summary is again wrong.
You can search trademarks here. For the keyword "Icould" I can find a bunch of Apple trademarks, but no iCloud Communications trademark. Interestingly, there is an identical trademark to Apple's iCloud service with USPTO serial number #79056140 (does anyone know how to link USPTO trademarks directly? The TESS system is braindead!), owned by a Swedish company Xcerion AB CORPORATION, Drottninggatan 23, Linköping. From the description of their service:
Computer programs for information management, for creating spreadsheets, tables, graphs and charts......... for viewing and organizing audio-visual content such as music, video and photos,.........
Providing temporary use of on-line non-downloadable software for information management, for creating spreadsheets, tables, graphs and charts and for organizing and analyzing data,... for viewing and organizing audio-visual content such as music, video and photos, for creating and administrating online communities and groups, for creating and maintaining personal blogs, for online sharing of any digital content,... , and for integrating and aggregating existing online services.
This trademark was filed in 2008, prior to any of the Apple's 2011 trademarks. I think they might truly have a chance of beating Apple in court, but maybe they are just not bastards, or have an agreement with Apple?
Whoa. The amount of political bias of this story is just absolutely baffling. Have you ever heard of ethics of technology? By the logic of this story's submitter, the sadistic Nazi human and animal experiments were absolutely legit science, and someone disturbing them in the name of a resistance movement, a Luddite.
There are enormous risks involved with genetically engineered plants in the wild. The big capital involved in GM food research has been largely successful in silencing or marginalizing their opposition by a process that is hardly too democratic. These people are heroes, exercising civil disobedience in defense of the most valuable we have - the nature itself.
GM food companies are also in the forefront of lobbying new Intellectual Property legislation, such as patenting genes and even whole strains of species. If the software ecosystem has been hit so severely by monopolizing patents, how bleak does the future of life on this planet seem, if it has to fight off similar burdens of proprietary opportunism?
You should read about the philosophical discourse on free will. Put short, explaining the existence of free will is very hard in a deterministic model. Most of classical physics is deterministic. Without any higher education in post-Einsteinian physics, quantum phenomena seem very compelling way to explain this age-old philosophical problem.
Many IRC users also uses URL shortening. Try pasting a dynamically generated content URL containing eg. coordinates and some other random URL arguments. These can easily get longer than say, double the 80-column terminal width. Therefore, for readability's sake, many IRC users shorten long URLs before pasting them (maybe with a small hint of what will be in the link)

Obviously it does no good for the Internet that one government can dictate on the whole world, what it can and what not. In the face of this and the previous domain name seizures, what are the chances of building a new domain name system that can not be controlled?
Would it be possible to implement such system without upgrading the already-connected computers?
The point of this Slashdot submission just totally evades me. Apparently someone nominated the article for deletion with perfectly sound reasoning in January. No proponents responded (meaning: nobody cared for the article), so it was deleted accordingly. Wikipedia does not accept something being articleworthy just because you know the organization / website / whatever – you have to provide evidence that this phenomena is real and notable – otherwise Wikipedia would be just full of all sorts of hoaxes and articles someone wrote from the top of their head one Saturday. See, not all phenomena are well-known in all subcultures, so we need neutral standards to measure what phenomena is articleworthy.
The closing admin thought the amount of participation (two votes) was not enough to form consensus, so when closing the debate he wrote he would (quote) "restore on request." Someone went ahead and requested restore, and the article was resurrected. Then, after a grace period, it was renominated, and wider participation was achieved. This time the closing admin was a bit trigger happy, but the article was again resurrected after quick discussion.
The deletion debate has since cooled, and the article seems now well-sourced and no deletion nomination is underway. There is one non-bot edit in the talk page during the last week or so. It boggles me how did this submission get through the screening process? It is totally pointless, and the advertised "debate to delete the article" is nowhere to be seen. Only thing I can come up with is someone getting butthurt from the deletion debate and deciding to have hard-failing "revenge" on the admins.
I can' believe Slashdot actually bought into this.
Well, DST might causes depression and stress to some particularly sensitive individuals, but what about the 400% increase in fatal traffic accidents involving pedestrians when coming out from DST?
Looks like I will have to take great care of my N900. It's the first and last of it's kind.
I do recommend taking care of your great mostly-FOSS phone. However, Mr. Elop noted in the press conference, that MeeGo was not dead, and that at least one device would be published. But as I understood, it is highly likely that this will be the last GNU/Linux-based mobile phone to come out from a big supplier in the forseeable future.
Some facts: Paris to London: 205 miles, travel time 2h 20min on Eurostar Washington D.C. to New York: 205 miles, travel time 2h 35min on Acela Express Los Angeles to New York: 2451 miles, travel time AEROPLANE-ANYONE?
USA is a very large, but relatively sparsely populated country – at least compared to Central Europe. Population density on wider area only comes on par with Central Europe on the East Coast, where a high speed rail link already exists between the major cities.
I can very well understand why Americans prefer the plane. High-speed train is economic for linking major cities over bearable distances, otherwise travel time becomes an issue with the current tech. Suitable for Japan, yes, but even the famous TGV system in France is not that big – it really only consists of 3 purpose-built tracks centered to Paris.
You might have better success with even a semi-valid HTTP/1.1 request such as
GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: www.google.com
Also, using telnet here is redundant. You should consider using oneoftheseveralnetcatsavailable. Some even support nice features like SSL encryption, so you can make encrypted requests to to the https port (443).
I hope this design will be better than 2.0. First impression is not too good.. 2.0 brought page loading times up and I had to buy a new computer to read slashdot (!!). And even on the new comp., if I chose to receive "Many" comments, the pages loaded real slow in FF3.5. My suggestions: minimal javascript, dialogs etc. but maximze the utilization of simple & pure HTML+CSS, or at least give the users ability to choose so.
You have to disable the same origin policy with the switch --disable-web-security. Use the browser session with this switch strictly only to browse the documents on your local hard drive, or malicious websites can read your home files etc. nice stuff.
I am still wondering why don't they publish the data as a hidden Tor service. This way the potential attackers would have hard time finding their IP address to attack.Cables are also small in size, so the limited bandwidth of the Tor network (usually around 2-20 kB/s) is not a problem.
Google gets 23 billion dollars a year of revenue from advertising, and the profits are growing at a rate of 22% a year. Advertising makes up almost 97% of the company's income. So that's where the money comes from. There are people out there that believe that when you use Google's products, and they can get their message out there, it's a great investment. Google simply monetizes on this conception.

Meanwhile, outside the reality distortion field: Bloomberg Businessweek: Microsoft Is Said to Pay Nokia More Than $1 Billion in Deal (emphasis on which way the money is flowing)
So you think Microsoft can dictate what kind of software and hardware Nokia manufacturers in projects unrelated to their WP7 deal?
Remember that Nokia is still an independent company with its own board, shareholders and goals, not a subsidiary of Microsoft.

There is no free will.
And this you chose to write to demonstrate the lack thereof? ;-)
