They are the preventer of progress, destroyer of compatibility. At one point they decided they had destroyed every competing browser vendor, declared their browser "done" and fired the team who produced... IE6.
Visualizing Linus, on an old laptop in a hotel somewhere busily merging the kernel of the world's most popular OS. Probably in his jammies. How the world has turned.
The electric typewriters were hacked by creating a readable radio signal with each keypress. If you look at the circuit diagrams they seem deliberately designed so as to do so. In the day that would have been readable at 1km. Now you can see it from a satellite.
The question is WHY Nokia did this to themselves. It is reported Nokia's chairman got a call from American investors to the point of "Appoint Elop CEO or you will be replaced and he will be CEO anyway". Who are these investors, what is their plan? Nobody knows. They got what they wanted though, much to the loss of other investors and of course, Finland. If I was a Finn politician responsible for such I would be launching a full-scale investigation with all the resources and power of a nation state to find out what happened here.

There is a useful book about this: "Assignment In Eternity" by Robert A. Heinlein. Lost his wits toward the end, but he was ill. That part needed a second book and better treatment. Still a good read.
So no, they haven't solved this problem yet. Thanks. I see now that they are starting to work on it. It really is not as difficult as you make it out to be so it should not take them long.
With an adjustable lens on your transmitter, no you don't. It is not that hard to widen the beam and use feedback to home in on the target and improve the focus until you have a nice strong signal and then ramp the bandwidth. And the parts for this are truly tiny. Compared to an inflatable balloon in space? No contest.
Might want to start expanding on those stretch goals. I don't think you will have any trouble getting there. After the awesome job you did on the first set people should be eager to help out again. It did seem to take forever though.
This is a nice answer to those below who don't understand how this works. But... Nobody really knows where the molten cores of these nuclear reactors are, how deep they are, what amount of groundwater flows through them. When Tepco's inheritor finds the cores they will trumpet it as a great victory. That won't be for 20 years hence.
The proper way to say this is "Android is a Linux." It is neither definitive of what Linux is nor a representative member of what a Linix has come to be understood to be. But it is A Linux.

If they wanted they could just throw their ARM chip into the Mac. Cross platform both ways. The reason why Apple went 64bit ARM is: it was time.

Research from Seagate says their hybrid drive only needs tiny ssd? Imagine that.
Intel makes a 5 watt soc and the best thing they can think of to use it for is yet another doomed Windows tablet.
Windows is not more popular on tablets. It is not even close. Windows will not be more popular on tablets with this chip.
Good luck reading the text written off the stirred wet ash of our typewriter ribbons. Throwing out that stuff went out in the '70s.

Hopefully manual typewriters. Some electric typewriters have been hacked.

Can't they get the signal lasers working? Much better for max signal strength, bandwidth, power usage and transmitter size.

Is there somebody the FBI doesn't want?
Then have not the terrorists won?
The life expectancy of an unpatched Windows XP installation exposed to the Internet is now under one minute.
Hacking websites = terrorism now ?
Weren't you here for the Aaron Swartz thing?
Xiaomi should be scaring a lot of CE vendors.
How does this contradict what I said?
BTW: I think that by various indirect means Bill Gates controls Attachmate utterly. And I'm OK with that for now.

I know /. is a nerd site and all, and you might get a bite from one of the contributors to weigh in, but a guarantee is asking a bit much.
