Thank for this information, it got me interested to read more on this. It's a shame this is something we should all have known but only a few know about. HeLa was used for testing polio vaccines, sent on spacecrafts to study the effect on human cells and is still being used by researchers 60 years after her death. The sad irony: even as HeLa cells are being sold commercially by bio-tech companies for hundreds of dollars, there is very little recognition for Henrietta Lacks and her aging sons don't have the money to afford health insurance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRrNjHYxP_o
I disagree. Even though Nokia has different models they all have been consistent in the user interface. If I had been a user of a relatively cheaper model, I will feel completely at home when I upgrade to a better model. With their different models, buyers are given some choices. Pick your own combination of features and the price. How can that be a bad thing?
Historically comets have been considered a sign of doom. Whenever they arrived they brought destruction and death. This time when Maccholz comes closer to earth, we see tsunamis kill thousands of people. Is this still a coincidence?
Beware guys.. $un is thinking that by going against MS they would be seen as the good guys.
Actually they want to become a monopoly and repeat what Microsoft does by exploiting anti-microsoft sentiments.
1.Since Microsoft *maintained* it's monopoly illegally and the punishment should not automatically benefit it's competitors, All Microsoft Software should be banned from government institutions until it is no more a monopoly.
2.If Microsoft sued against a startup/small company for patent infringement the case will not be taken up by the courts until microsoft is no more a monopoly in that particular category of software.
3.All OEMs should be given the rights to distribute CDROMs of competing software along with a new PC. It should be mandatory for the OEM to pre-install a 'single click' software installer that installs/uninstalls software from the distributed CDROMs.
4.Microsoft Should release a version of Microsoft office for Operating Systems other than windows and mac. If it is not feasible for Microsoft, Microsoft should at least license a Software library that can read/write office documents to vendors of other OS,Office Suites for a fair amount of licence fee which is not chargeable for the end users.
5. 10% of the money microsoft spends on its product promotion should be donated to Competing software makers whose product is free(as in free beer) upon request till it becomes a non-monopoly in that particular category of software.
The people here shout as if the world is moving to hell, when a microsoft security hole news breaks up. But the same people pass of lame excuses and make security holes in OSS a non-issue. This is hopelessly hypocritic. Open Source software can only grow better when their users demand carefulness on the developers part, Not by fanatically supporting an OSS product unacknowledging its security weak points.
Shame on you people!
For those admins who are careless and think open source ware is magically bug-free, this should be a wake up call.
As more people switch to linux, there is no use writing worms for windows. Writing malicious programs for linux would be the order of the day. The real test for linux is to withstand the attacks then.

Nokia ignored America

Why are slashdot stories linking to web sites that aren't directly related to the story? This story would have been better linked to the blog post at Mozilla Labs: https://mozillalabs.com/blog/2011/02/prism-is-now-chromeless/
ClickTale is already doing this sort of mouse movement tracking as part of its web analytics service.

You are wasting your time downloading a pirated movie. Besides... who would like to watch a movie like Matrix on anything less than a gaint screen ?
90% of the end users wonder "what is Linux ?". To them - Windows is the computer.

You should check Mono first before talking. Miguel and his Team are making the dream a reality. Hats off to them !

Commercial Closed-Source people who want to help Linux Users will now think twice before doing anything.
So much talk for a job posting ? You guys are really mad ;)
