I quite like XMPP for this reason, its open ( or can be closed too ). And communicates with a major one ( Google Talk ) . I have managed to convince a few friends and family to use either pure XMPP or Google talk, i honestly don't have anyone i consider important or that i would have an important conversation with in either text or voice or video in Skype.
Regardless of the rape charges,
This would be a big violation of international law regardless of what the national law might be. They can't just storm an embassy. They might close it, but as have been said they have to give enough time for staff to leave.
Although he really should answer and defend himself. Storming an embassy is the last thing needed here, it would set an horrible precedent.
I am sure Ecuador could perhaps work out someway to have him in equador after the interrogation if no charges pressed or having him there after sentence is carried.
If you pay for Google apps they do offer phone support. However you would need to have the support pins which you can only get by logging in your account. There is no way to access support without those pins at all.
Hotmail's default isn't SSL as far i know, and their chat service isn't ssl or encrypted or even able to run encrypted ( unlike google's chat/XMPP).
So it isn't exactly safe, not long ago someone was trying an dictionary attack of some sort for days on my MSN messenger account as it prevented me from logging in due to "too many password attempts" . ( when i had not been the one doing those attempts.)
As far i know ( i live in Portugal ) other than this being old news, it was rejected by all other parties other than the one attempting to get this passed and was rather laughed about because of it here.
There is no good antivirus for android, maybe you could mod a linux one. But still it would take long way until it could be used.
Big Problem here is the android Market being open, it should at the very least search in applications for malware patterns on the applications uploaded and put them to manual review or something.
However, they really need to focus on their core products and bring them up to par to their competitors, if they did that. They would be leading in thos specific things instead of launching these stupid things every other month or 2 months, like google Talk PC client, has not been updated since 2006 or 2007. And doesn't have the same voice codecs of any of the web versions or video. Not to mention their mess up on google talk and Messenger on google plus.
But that is just one of them, i will support google for some more to come. But there is only so much we can have faith on.
Like was said, didn't Google's CEO said somewhere that if you want privacy you have something to hide or something?
Not surprising their own employees have little respect for their user's privacy.
Slashdot Mirror
A Microsoft research into Android would be highly neutral and non-biased as Microsoft has no direct competition with Android.
Wish i could upvote you but yeah, that website did not exist when he claimed it was up.
Really? Why is this on front page of Slashdot? A vulnerability that was patched months ago via windows updates is now an issue?

No clippy, no thanks.

So weird to see such an outdated article in /.
I don't think that is weird at all in Slashdot

Is it just me, but it doesn't include private messages? or is it because there were none?

I think it was already fixed by that time.
