  5. Worry about QUALCOMM AMSS on your phone! on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Protect Data On Android? · · Score: 1

    There is a megabyte worth of firmware on your phone on a chip that has access to your camera, the mikes, the flash, virtually everything
    on a device such as an "Sprint EVO 4g".

    This device has two cores on a SOC, the general application ARM11 core you know about that runs a linux kernel and then there is another ARM9 core that
    runs Qualcomm's AMSS software which is a CDMA2000 stack. This radio core has the same access like the general application core
    to the camera and the mikes, in fact there is support for the camera in AMSS (aka "multimedia extensions").

    The radio is my main worry right now. I've already gotten rid of the smithmicro device management software and all the other HTC agents in the
    android environment but I'm seeing that the kernel(!) is maintaining http connections to sprintpcs.net servers. These I address with iptables right
    now. The cameras both the front facing (!) camera and the camera in back are taped over by the way I suggest you do the same.

    My impression is this thing is a turd of a mobile tracking bug and I'm thoroughly disgusted with it and the scum that is pushing it.

  21. Re:IANAL either but. on Can Employer Usurp Copyright On GPL-Derived Work? · · Score: 1

    If they own the copyright they can choose not to license it under the GPL to the public. They can then choose to delete the
    entire source tree. I'm not too sure if they can't also compile the source files into binaries but assuming they can, where the
    buck stops is linking with GPL licensed code that is not explicitly covered by the LGPL. Right. No linking allowed. Whatever
    they do, if the executable contains GPL licensed code they can not run it. Even debugging the program and even if they
    step only through non-GPL code, it's not permissible. To the IANAL who said the GPL kicks in when you distribute it, that
    is not true. You shall have no use of GPL code even for internal in-house purposes unless you fulfill all stipulations in the GPL.
    For example when you modify GPL code (a single character in a source file is enough) and even if you just use that in-house
    you are required to publish the modification or the license grant by the copyright holder is null and void.

    In short they can either try and replace whatever GPL code there is if that's at all feasible or they can choose to scrap it
    entirely. If the portion of code that is _possibly_ owned by the university is useful or can be easily made useful by itself
    then they are free to do that as well and choose to do with that what they will.

    The short of it, they go into a gas station convenience store, she grabs two pieces of pizza and they try to leave the
    store. The store clerk comes after the two demanding payment for the pizza, she takes out her TSA id card
    and says she's with "Homeland Security". The store clerk not impressed by the two follows them out to the
    pumps and tries to get their license plate. She opens the tailgate thus flipping the license plate up so the clerk can't
    see it. Some back and forth. At one point then the clerk gets the tailgate but then the cop runs after him and
    punches him in the face.

    It turns out though, "Homeland Sekurity" used her credit card to pay for an item in the store, the shenanigans
    outside the store trying to cover up the sign were completely unnecessary.

    I don't care whether a panel of CNN journalists "exonerates" "clears of charges" "approves" "disapproves" or even "suggests" or "recommends" or a national parliament (the very people who do nothing but shaft us all day, come on!).

    -> Fact is the blatant admissions of fraud as well as THREATS made about other scientists who point out the fraud are in the emails.
