  7. Re:Netbooks turning into Hybrid tablets on Asus PadFone Combines Smartphone, Tablet, Keyboard · · Score: 1

    I have one of their eeepad transformers, I got it because my eeePC 701 was getting a little long in the tooth. The hinged dock has an extra battery so combined you can get around 9 hours of life off it, better than any laptop I have ever owned. The only problem I have is some websites see android as the user agent and "helpfully" switch over to mobile view, which is not needed on a 10" screen

    blackberries have had "sideloading" and ability to load audio files as ringers and chimes since forever, they have always been more respecting of personal freedom, i can load any compatible and signed OS image regardless of what my carrier wants bundled. only thing i could ask for would be the ability to load OS images signed by other parties/ untrusted keys and simply have the security chip authenticate only against things that recognize the other signing keys as meaningful

    like any other program or institution it can be abused by some, however measures to counter such abuse need to be in proportion to the prevalence of said abuse and ideally would not introduce excessive complexity, as complexity usually just leaves more room for abuse

  21. Re:Misleading Article on Secret UK Network Hunts GPS Jammers · · Score: 1

    if it continues the next generation of vehicle GPS trackers will include s/n logging, a legitimate loss of signal would show signal strength going down, if instead noise goes way up your ass gets fired
