They can compete by offering better revenue for more high quality content. If you read the article, they are not trying to build a "Youtube". It is more like Hulu for web only videos.
I switched to Android and disabled iMessage before switching. Even though I did that, iMessage wasn't disabled and I wasn't able to receive messages for days from iPhone users. It is not always a user error.
To be fair, it probably didn't take working with the attorney general and putting this story out in the press to get Google to fix it. That is the difference.
The SDK is not an OS. The SDK is released ahead a time so that developers can update their apps. Everything about this article is wrong as Jean-Baptiste Queru has already announced the source is coming as soon as the device is released and the OS is out.
> "Now that ICS is out"
Wow. What has happened to Slashdot? ICS is not out. The first device, the Galaxy Nexus, doesn't get released until next month. And Google did announce ASOP would be released once it is released to the first ICS devices. Basically, everything posted was incorrect. Nice try though
If you let Google run your email for you, they will be subject at any moment to forwarding all copies of your email to any government agent that asks for it.
How does this make Google different than any other ISP. ISP's have no special protection from a warrant that Google doesn't have.
Maybe the original author didn't actually get the point, but MovieLink is designed for IE because their service integrates Microsoft's DRM into the browser so it is easy to use their service for Windows users. While this may suck, it has nothing to do with what 99% of the comments are referring too (design incompetence). Maybe a better site should of been used for this rant.
All passwords are encrypted with the key you choose when you setup the extension and this setting can't be changed. Encrypting your history is off by default. Google has no access to the key you choose to encrypt it with.
Of course if you choose click the checkbox to encrypt your bookmarks, then Google has no way of knowing anything about your bookmarks since they never have access to your key you choose
And hell, why doesn't google releases this thing (or at least a lite version) as open source for the webmasters?
Because Google wants the data. That's why they give it away for free. Google is an advertisement company first these days. Analytics is just another way for Google to collect data to use to improve their targetted ads.
Who writes an evil backdoor, which dates back to Win3.1 days (when you didn't NEED an evil back door, and Windows had no clue what this Internet thing was about), and then DOCUMENTS it?
Show me where this is documented? If you RTFA you would see that this special case is most definately not documented.
No. Google doesn't own a patent for blog advertising. Google recently applied for a patent for RSS advertising using geotargetting. I fail to see how the two are related at this point.
Yeah. I mean everybody has been dying for one of those Windows Tablet PCs too. I mean those are more convenient than laptops and other portable devices:)
Slashdot Mirror
Technically it wasn't hacked but Apple's poor security practices for password resets is what led to user's accounts to be compromised.
It was probably hard to find a super computer in 1876.

The warranty violation is unlocking the bootloader which this app requires (and is done by the companion app).

Obviously the courts care since they are the ones that mandated Apple provide this info on their site.
Companies like Apple feel like the only way to maintain is to stifle the competition not to keep innovating.

You do realize phones have had dedicated camera buttons for years?

These patents in question are certainly not simple. Perhaps you should try reading them? Whether or not they infringe is a different story.
you are not thinking yahoo rolled out an invisible update to yahoo messange today morning once google bought youtube.
Since all they would have to do is make a change in the server, a client update is not required at all.

> But isn't drag and drop an Active-X component?
Not if its drag and drop inside of the browser. Then its just using DHTML. Dragging components on a webpage is not that complex to accomplish.

Does it use geotargeting based on ip address? I think not.
Atleast it will not be built with Java like Azureus.
You have to use Mingw for the GPL'd version. The paid version supports Visual Studio, though.
