The summary seems to indicate that this has anything to do with the Swedish election. I can safely say that Wikileaks and the Assange case have had absolutely no impact on the Swedish election.
Not a problem. VLC can use the MediaPlayer framework to play stuff in the Music and Video Libraries. Fine. And use whatever codecs of their own in their own library or streamed from the net. There's precedence here, like Spotify that plays locally stored and streamed OGG/Vorbis.
Leif Silbersky is also the biggest media whore Sweden got in this field, and he regularly brags about the hundreds of clients he has. Assange complained that he couldn't raise his lawyer, and that's probably because Mr Silbersky was busy doing interviews and catering to his other clients. Silbersky hasn't really a great track record of getting his clients aquitted either, but he has made the cases public and that might be considered a win for some.
I 73 years old man goes through his whole life, not raising suspicion at all. Indeed his neighbors reported nothing during the last 25 years of his stay in a quite house in Austria. However, this man, Joseph Fritzl, hid a dark secret in his basement namely his 42 year old daughter and three of her (and his) children, aged 19, 18 and 5. Three other kids lived with Joseph and his wife upstairs. One child even died in the basement without no one ever knowing.

Hmm.. A spotless record accounts for absolutely nothing.
They experimented yesterday to when the logo was a group of balls that was repeleld by the mouse. Canvas/JS i suppose.. I'm only seeing this on the co.uk-page, not.com nor.se which is my home TLD.
He was not exhonerated, the prosecutor deemed the ititial warrant baseless, and revoked it. It says nothing about Assange guilt or not, but about the base as to prosecute him.
If they use platform specific APIs to accelerate stuff, WHY THE HELL don't they use platform specific APIs for rendering video? They don't have to pay MPEG-LA anything since Apple and Microsoft are doing it for them (and everyone else that uses their OS wide media frameworks). If they want WebM capabilities, just make a plugin for the frameworks.
No, Microsoft attributed Spyglass and Mosaic all the way up to and including Internet Explorer 7, so the deal went so far. Why it ended there, I don't know. Perhaps it was a 10 year deal?
Microsoft licensed Mosaic under the promise of paying Spyglass royalties based on revenue. But then MS released it for free and Spyglass got nothing. This must be one of Microsoft's finest deals.
It would have been an epic irony if Apple had bought Palm and gotten the remnants of Be Inc with it. I love the tech industry!
I made a graph over the turbulent history of Palm, sorting out the finer details in the timeline. For those of you that haven't payed attention the last 20 years.

He says that it was the logical thing to do, it still is! Keeping the pixels square makes sense in almost every computer science aspect I can imagine, and this guy have had 50 years of regret and came up with something that's comparably very hard to implement in scanners, memory, screens and software. Triangles and hexagons are two other ways he might have gone that's comparably simple, but squares are more intuitive. I think his contribution in the past was brilliant. He really should have no regrets.
The difference between all the absurd statements and this new statement is that the former are uttered by competitors to Apple, by "analysts" obviously not familiar to Apple, "journalists" trolling for clicks or by raving idiots. This time it's an analysis offered by Mac developers that's been in the forefront of Mac indie development for ages and is on first name basis with the Mac community and probably have lots of personal friends within Apple.
And they are not predicting the demise of anything..
A ad off topic I know but I need to know.
What's the deal about all these hexagonal, honeycomb like venting grills that I first saw appear on IBM gear many years ago but now seems to be ubiquitous to server gear from all vendors. Is there some cool scientific reason behind it? Is it about maximizing airflow, creating nice vortexes inside the machine to spread the air, reduce noise, reduce vibrations in the chassis, weight concerns, heat spreading.. what's the deal?
Why are these engines burning for such short times? Are these engines so early in development that they really can't get them to be stable and safe for more than 12 seconds? Sounds a lot like fusion: it works but it's not yet useful.
Ah, so you mean like writing web apps? The plattform independent platform that is HTML5? The kind Apple thought apps was supposed to work for iPhone since day one, long before the AppStore was even invented? If you think that's a great way to go, just go ahead. It's been implemented in the iPhone the last three years. You don't need Mozilla for writing web apps. Safari is great for such things. It's a web browser you know, they run web apps.
Android has always been a predominantly Java platform and that's been known since day one. iPhone has never, ever, supported Java in any form (since Javascript is not Java as you point out) and that's also been known since day one. Nothing has changed besides a growing animosity between the companies.
Intuitively its going to be about 10 feet per story, to one sig fig. Or about 3 meters. So, figure around 150 feet, or around 45 meters.
As it turns out the Falcon 9 is 54 meters tall. That would be 18 stories tall according to your intuition. Your approximation was 20% off. But hey.. give of take three stories. What's that among friends?
I know americans have problems with units for length but really "15 story tall"? Exactly how tall is a story?
I don't even know how tall a 15 story tall house is, or even that it's 15 stories tall. Does that include the ground floor or basement? Or the top floor? A penthouse, it that one or two stories and included in this measurement? Can you use "story" to measure something lying down or is everything "1 story long"? The height of a story must differ from house to house so how many stories tall is a 15 story tall house? No one knows how tall a 15 story tall house is, or that it differs from a 12 or 22 story tall house. Intuitively they are just "tall houses" and a 12 story tall house may very well be taller than a 15 story tall house. Insane!
Can anyone translate this into some sane unit? And please, keep reports on scientific and technical issues scientific and technical.
Sun was pretty screwed after the dotcom bubble burst. He was put there to salvage the wreckage and I think he did a pretty good job too. What he failed to mention in his blog though is that Sun sued Microsoft in exactly the manner in which he criticizes Jobs and Gates. They sued MS for infringing on Java, won $20 million and then sued again which ended with a settlement out of court for $2 billion. Money that effectively patched the sinking ship that was Sun.

"Apodizing"? Is that something that's geard towards producing amazing pictures fit for APOD, i.e. Astronomy Picture Of the Day?

That would be the integrated x87 FPU that's been present since the 486, now with with MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSE4 and AVX.

Show med where JPEG, GIF or PNG is a requirement in _any_ HTML spec. Just like your point, it's nowhere to be found. Yet, all browsers implement them.

Ah, OK. But It feels like one of MS's finest deals none the less! A dime or less for each copy of IE shipped.
