He claims that Android is for the smaller formats, and Chrome OS for the netbooks. It's funny if this is Google's goal, since the netbooks use to have much more flexibility in offering better hardware and performance, not being tied to a small form factor, and then give it the OS that offer only a subset of Android's functionality. Android offers a full OS running native applications, along with the Chrone web browser -- where the latter is the *only* thing Chrome OS offers.
I always found this aspect of Google's new operating systems weird. If Google were serious about Chrome OS, shouldn't that one have been aimed for the phones and tablets, with Android for the netbooks? Chrome OS is at least the OS that does less, and is more simple to the end user. It can basically only run a web browser (and all underlying stuff that's necessary to run that web browser compiled for Linux, of course).
Since it's already released. It's already been revealed at least in Swedish news, that part of the encrypted "insurance" file that's been distributed via BT, is the *full* cablegate archive -- remember that by far most haven't been released yet, at least not to non-news organizations. And that's part of that file, and then some unknown stuff too. So if anything would happen to these guys that would piss them off enough, they'd just release the keys and boom, thousands of users would have this data.
I'm not from the Americas, but I thought the DHT only dealt with national security issues, terrorist threats, natural disasters, and other high priority issues that affected the country. I'm not quite seeing torrent-finder.com as that, a torrent site I haven't even visited despite being a pirate. Is this honestly the same organization behind providing supplies to Katrina victims, as protecting private businesses against business models in crisis?
I'm happy to hear you won't read the mails. I take your word for this, ISP's, because you're trustworthy! Thanks for giving me your word, and only reading other parts of my surfing habits!
Why? Is there any reason at all for this ban? Help me out here.
I guess they don't want HQ telephotography of abuse of power from safe locations etc, where they won't even know who's photographing them so they can't see who they should arrest.:-p
However... Smaller digital cameras OK? Uh, what about the Canon SX30 IS with 35x zoom? That's better than my Nikon D90 with my 200mm lens. While perhaps not the same optical quality, this doesn't matter at all unless they're trying to ban photographs with a nice bokeh, or low noise levels, haha.:p
@migueldeicaza So apparently Mono is NOT part of the IP that is being sold by Attachmate to Microsoft? @eric_sink I dont know, what I know is that the exact details of the transaction are under SEC regulations, so info is limited.

Apple iOS 4.2 Hands-On
·
· Score: 5, Interesting
It's been there since iOS 4, and Apple says that you should normally not have to fully quit the apps anymore due to how multitasking works. They shouldn't consume much resources when not being in use. So that's probably why quitting stuff has been moved out of the way a bit.
I can confirm that Apple isn't bullshitting on all this, since until my pretty rare iPhone 3Gs resets, I often end up having 15 apps running at a time with no noticeable impact to battery life or sluggishness.
How many applications have Apple personally certified that they work well on Mac? Or Canonical for Ubuntu? Oh right, they don't.
Microsoft does many things wrong, but I like how this is something Microsoft does. An application doesn't have to be certified to run, but at least you know it has gone through numerous tests if it is, such as so that it doesn't demand admin rights and use the system in inappropriate ways.
With Motorola, Mircosoft, Nokia, and Apple having launched various lawsuits and counter-lawsuits against each other, I think that untangling this mess in the proper order is quickly starting to become an NP-complete problem.
WP7 doesn't do multitasking with third party apps (only Microsoft's own apps has this advantage, go figure...), and doesn't even support encrypted Exchange connections. Yes, yes, Microsoft wrote Exchange, and even Windows Mobile 6.5 supported this! This will effectively shut out many enterprise users from using this phone if their servers reject unencrypted connections (and rightly so, in my opinion).
It's funny when iPhone has support for encrypted Exchange connections in built-in software on both OS X (Mail) and iOS, and MS in neither Windows 7, nor Windows Phone 7. No, not even Windows Live Mail supports true Exchange connections -- it has to be set up to serve as an IMAP server. And Exchange is a behemoth in the enterprise market.
Go go Ballmer with your strategic decisions.
Or maybe it's their shareholders that need to go "strategic" on Ballmer...
Yes, I think I've seen the same thing. And either Google is very silent about their search engine updates besides the visuals, or they're doing very little to combat the problem. All I seem to hear is efforts to let you get the results faster (the latest ideas being "Instant Search" and "Instant Previews"), although I can't say I'm having trouble with Google being sluggish. The fake blogs or forum scrapers, on the other hand...
I understand that it's hard to differentiate carefully crafted fake sites from real ones with algorithms, but come on -- there are well-known domains only using scraped stuff out there... Block the entire domains, Google. It's your private index and you decide who should be there. Or at least hide them, if you don't want to look like a censorship organization. Smaller-sized text with the message: "This link is temporarily hidden due to excessive search engine index manipulation in the time period XXX to YYY. It will be shown again on ZZZ. Click to view."

The MBA wasn't built to compete with bulkier PC's. It has a different target demography. It's aimed for users who value size and form factor above customizability.

What?
Is this a Canon-only feature, or on Nikon cameras too?
Thanks, I was pretty confused there for a while after re-reading the sentence three times. :-S
1. The data centers are in another country - and bombing other countries is an act of war
Yeah, we'll send furious moose in the general direction of anyone attacking us and Wikileaks' servers in Bahnhof's data center!
(I'm afraid we can't do much more, with our military... oh wait, we'll talk with NAT... no we aren't members there. Damn!)
This goes both ways though, with the lawsuits Apple has filed. It's such a mess.

Sometimes, the line between a school and an airport with a looming terror phobia is paper thin.
I can't find noscript available. There's noTscript, which claims to be the same thing, but where's the real thing that I've been using for years?
It's unavailable, so if you don't want to use the combined Adblock + Noscript version, you're out of luck.

A Microsoft Unix 2013 Professional Edition doesn't exactly give me pleasant imagery.

They left out the most viable competitor.
Even later than Windows though. They're mentioning competing desktop managers at the time of Windows' inception.
When I was in Beijing a few years ago, after a while the days there started to feel kind of like the day before you're going to catch a cold.
The web browser which solves this problem? And I quote Daring Fireball since I agree:
"They solved the problem of Chrome having a nice, simple, minimalist interface."
I have to wonder how much RM *really* do for the user, compared to Chrome with various Facebook extensions.
It shows that Microsoft is more concerned about getting a good score on the benchmark than they are about providing a good customer experience.
Could the same be said about the numerous bugs issued for Firefox about optimizing TraceMonkey's SunSpider performance?

Isn't the entire point of twitter communicating with a large audience? If no one knows who you are, then what's the point?
Besides, Twitter supports private feeds if you're a user who don't want random people to read your tweets.
I think he's missing the point if he's running an open twitter feed *and* want to be secret. WTF?
