Releasing novels via apps is very traditional, dates back to Charles Dickens time. Charles only supported Windows Mobile and Blackberry's. This new app will be more modern. Really exciting stuff!
More interesting is the claim that they "reach full capability for SIGINT access to a major Internet peer-to-peer and text communications system."
That means Skype to me.
My guess is the VPN chips mentioned are the Broadcom 53xx chips that were widely used around that time.
Correct: all you have to do is write it. Millions of people do it every day. The first versions of Linux were written by one person. So were most initial versions Operating Systems and significant programs. Amazing!
Completely useless. They aren't logging/monitoring your encrypted packet stream. They are getting the data from the endpoints. You use email, IM, websites? They are getting the data about those from the companies who run them (Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, etc). They aren't logging 10Mb/s of packet data from end users.
I'm not sure what you are talking about. That page explains their measurement methodology and more info is here: http://research.google.com/pub...
Did you not visit the link?
Yes. It is aggregated data. Guess how the metadata is collected? From the endpoints. They are getting call logs and emails and IM conversations and whatever else from the service endpoint datastores, not by monitoring your packet stream. As a bonus, they can also use the endpoints to drill into the instance data that makes up the aggregated data. You don't think they are really only accessing metadata do you? How cute!
Thanks for the lengthy and detailed explanation. I forgot that IPv6 has subnetting, but IPv4 doesn't. Subnetting really makes determining the toplogy fast! Mod +5 insightful please!
"TV's, VDRs, routers, WAPs, thermostats, sprinkler controllers, refrigerators, security cameras"
Um, what network enabled versions of these are not IPv6??? DOCSIS 2 are IPv6. Any DOCSIS 1 modem is 20 years old already. There arent millions of those out there.
Jesus, calm down with your hate. You have a IPv4 only refrigerator?
People forget how this data is really collected. They aren't looking at packets and breaking encryption between the client and server. They are tapping into the endpoint. They are accessing the Gmail/hotmail server endpoint databases. I am in the network monitoring field and I can tell you there isn't enough horsepower to do packet based monitoring of large numbers of people. They are getting the data because Google. Microsoft, Apple, etc are giving them access to their datastores.
How do you fetch an internal topology more quickly with IPv6 versus IPv4? I don't get it. You would need to scan the address space, which is much much larger with IPv6.
Electric cars still need energy to go, and require a lot of energy to make. In addition a lot of resources go into building a road network. That energy isn't created out of thin air. Electric cars aren't as clean as everyone thinks. People hate traffic. Lots of cars create traffic. A diesel based train that carries 1,000 people is more "clean" than 1,000 Teslas. It is much more efficient for work commuting.
Hating cars isn't a problem. Everyone normal hates commuting.
I used to think this too, but after traveling through EU I realized that the US is setup the way it is because that is the way we have been trained. Even in the US the population density is there in some areas, but there still isn't effective transit because Americans have been taught to love our cars. It is only recently here in the East Coast that we have woken up and realized that we need to invest more in our train service. Amtrak is way overcrowded at this point as people realize that trains are nice to have. Even more recently in the US we have started to reject cars in the most densely populated areas. It is just the way it is, and wont change any time soon.
Cars in general are bad for your health. Whether they burn oil or gas they cause particulate matter that is dangerous. The US is in worse shape than the EU because our cars tend to be bigger and emit more CO2 and particulate matter than the smaller EU cars. Plus we drive a lot more and our country is built around the automobile. What a shame, but I doubt there will ever be a solution for it.
Well guess what? There is no e-book format that allows that. That isn't what e-books were designed for. There are non e-book formats designed to do that (HTML, etc). Use those, THAT is what progress is.
What is the meaning of "incestuous words" anyway? He probably is doing it as tongue-in-cheek but it is nonsensical to everyone else who isn't in on the joke.
Why would non-US people have the same rights as Americans under the US Constitution? Are US citizens given the same rights as Europeans in the EU? The mind boggles when I hear people say that.
There is no way I am giving Google my mobile number. All of these sites now want your mobile for "password retrieval" purposes. Don't fall for it. It is just another data point they are collecting on you. They will use it to track you as you visit real retailers.

My ISP gives me a /60 IPv6 prefix address. That gives me enough IP addresses for my Internet enabled underwear.

I know everyone hates Comcast, but they have 40%+ ipv6 deployment rates, and also the US wireless carriers have 40%+ deployment rates.

Um, the idea of having rockets that launch and land again is very old (1960's). It is an engineering challenge, but not terribly remarkable.

That was pretty selfish of you. Our idea is to spread computing to the masses. Not to have people hoard them.
Fruit like Amiga, Commodore, Adam, IBM PC, etc?
To most people an "engineer" is someone who can fix a bicycle. So I doubt the statistic. But it sells books I guess.
Is there no limit to his creativity? We need more creative people like him in the industry. I am most impressed.
