I use a combination of Yawcam and Vitamin D. Neither are particularly great, but they serve my needs. And they're (mostly) free. I get images emailed to me when it detects motion in my apt and I can view live video remotely from my phone or a browser (via ssh or vpn). I use the Star Trek Enterprise (NCC-1701) webcam that I got from thinkgeek.
I've been thinking about adding something to monitor and record audio too. Also, been thinking about switching to use a kinect as the camera.
I'm glad this story was posted because sometimes I think I'm too paranoid for doing all of this. This is somewhat re-assuring.
It might be evidence of him going rogue. And maybe the Soviets would even accept that. But there's no way they'd feel compassion or sympathy for the United States considering it was US that weaponized this force. It's akin to changing the ending of Dr. Strangelove to involve world peace.
Spider-man's nonsense really doesn't factor into this. Why would the Soviet Union have had any compassion whatsoever for Americans getting cancer from American weapons?
Blaming the attacks on Dr. M really doesn't make any sense though. For decades he'd been an extension of the American military...essentially a walking, talking atom bomb. Would the world have been united had America "accidentally" nuked a bunch of cities? It need to be an exterior threat like aliens. Maybe not an actual Squid and maybe not just attacking NYC, sure. But, framing Dr. M really makes no sense.
The methodology says that they monitored for new torrents via rss and immediately scraped the.torrents and processed the files. And, if you've ever tracked a category on TPB via RSS you'll know that there's a TON of spam that constantly comes in and is usually flagged for deletion and removed fairly promptly. So, really, it's more appropriate to say that a third of all.torrents uploaded to BT portals are fake.
That inference could be made with or without the comma. If Mary has freckles on her face then they are probably on her buttocks too. But, I'm not sure what her donkey's coat has to do with anything.
what? public kiosks? it's 2010. in 5 years most of the country will have a multicore computer with 4g wireless in their pocket and you think people will want to stand around and use a shared computer? why? to do what?
I mean, yeah, there's some spin in this article. But i've seen far far worse on slashdot. It makes a huge leap from "will apple actually do it" to "will people start installing linux" which is fairly preposterous. But it seems clear that apple is at least contemplating a version of iAds for the desktop space. and it might be something some subset of users would tolerate or embrace. However, it's kind of fanboish to just dismiss the question with some crazy kiosk talk and a "no big deal" defense of ads.
honestly though, i think the important question here is: if they have desktop iAds will they start a desktop app store? now THAT would be a big change for the consumer desktop world.
A newspaper, on the other hand, doesn't really want that and doesn't want to dedicate its services and infrastructure to hosting shouting matches.
uh...have you seen any of the opinion pages of the major papers? but, all kidding aside you're right. but at the same time so many of these outlets (especially smaller ones) have simple flat comments. even a moderately advanced system (with threads and some kind of reputation based promotion) would help solve a very large portion of the comment problems.
but charging a one time $1 fee isn't that bad of an idea.
Actually, in terms of dollars Apple does have a pretty strong monopoly on mobile application sales. Yeah, Android is closing the gap in terms of amount of apps Apple still completely dominates in terms of revenue. So much so that in 2009 99.4% of all the dollars spent mobile application purchases went through apples store. http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2010/01/apple-responsible-for-994-of-mobile-app-sales-in-2009.ars
yet at least. so far all of the "ad blockers" i've seen don't actually block ads. they just hide them. they still use your bandwidth. their code is still rendered.
from what i understand the devs dont (yet?) have to tools necessary to actually block elements. they can only hide them. which kind of rules out the possibility of any legitimate noscript equivalent. which is more important than an adblocker.
not quite. the "quintessential" definition of a hackintosh is intalling OSX on retail PC (as opposed to mac) hardware. this guy used a real mac mobo. so, basically he just modded a mac into a linksys case. not quite a hackintosh. also, not quite news.

Not if you get a gaming keyboard. Most of the Razer models register 5+ key presses at a time.

It certainly wasn't prominent but there is a current list available here: http://blog.mylookout.com/2011/05/security-alert-droiddreamlight-new-malware-from-the-developers-of-droiddream/
Looks like it includes Diablo II, Goldeneye and Space Invaders among others.

yeah, definitely won't be free. at least not w/o a jailbreak. It's verizon we're talking about. they don't do free.
There ain't no such thing as a free hooker

I use flash on my Evo to watch zeropunctuation and dailyshow clips with very few problems. And, really, that's all I need it for.

right. the business traveler w/ an expense account is a prime demo. but they dont use kiosks. they have laptops with aircards and vpns.
you do realize that selling ads to small markets makes no sense?

I'm pretty sure that quote actually addresses the IP rights to the codecs and not the content.
However, DRM is probably a concern. But that doesn't explain why they'd exclude other codecs.
i'm a little tipsy and some of the grammar and specifics i screwed up. but the general point is valid: apple dominates the mobile app market.

yeah, i got that notice too. i'm a little disappointed. I was hoping to pay them extra if/when they decided to stop providing my area with service.
