Odds are he's using SlashDot from a platform he has complete control over. The 'internet overlords' are also unlikely to come down and remove his browser because it doesn't fit into their idea of usability.
Oh well, at the very least articles like this one are a good opportunity for people to burn off mod points, although generally in the form of 'troll' or flamebait.
The number of them seems to be getting to the point where we're going to need to start culling them like deer. Perhaps a tag system... say two per year per person. Ahhh... I can almost see the BMW and Brooks Brothers logos up over the fireplace as you tell the grandkids "Yep, that one was a civil lawyer... got him from 250 yards"
It will start just slightly before many people start faking their agent strings. I frequently change the FF agent string to appear as Windows XP instead of Linux.
It's in a nice, open, non-licence encumbered format, right? As the media companies are coming out with their own format, it might be a good move at this point. Apple may also think, perhaps rightly, that they have the market numbers to push a proprietary format.
For broadcast, etc, it should be important that any standard should be fully open, and not encumbered by patents or licensing. Having a aformat controlled by Sony sounds like a bad idea anyway, and most other private companies are not a lot better.
Do they tax "religious organizations" in Australia? If not, perhaps it's time to start looking into it. Network censorship isn't going to pay for itself you know.
No, it's not the issue. I also don't think the issue at hand here is necessarily related to the online medium only either. Frequently newspapers have the same sort of comments sections in print. They generally want contact information for you, but I'm fairly sure they've always been very militant about releasing any details. The bar to releasing details online should be exactly the same online as it is in print... you need to do more than just ask for it. Is it that easy to get details on commenters in the printed media? (I'm don't know, I'm asking...)
Here a link to a related story about suing Google. Interestingly, I actually got the link by Googling "stupid skank got google to release user information court case". Man, I really love Google sometimes.
The work actually required to create a Linux (or OSX) client is much less than it is to create a complete game, and theoretically they only need to do it once for all games. I hope they take the opportunity.
We seem to be specializing in making things cheaper, not better... perhaps it's economy or globalization related. I just don't think think we're spending the research money that's needed to continue the pace of previous decades. We are getting quite good at combining the work of others... and even better at patenting it.
The communicating and use of the browser seem a little strange, seeing as you've got a phone in your hands, but a few of the other features like the remote game download are somewhat interesting.
Low-end HDMI Cables are about $3 on MonoPrice.com, etc. Not a big loss, but a bit inconvenient if you don't have a couple lying around. I hope this doesn't boost sales of Monster cables.
Is there some sound or video processing that is being done in hardware in XP and in software on the available Linux drivers? Seems like a likely possibility with a difference between the two that's this big. Even just non-optimal code for video processing could explain it.
Large corporations are not good citizens and care little about the welfare of the nations that created them. I've heard them described as sociopathic is nature, which is probably quite an accurate description. They rarely have any long term vision in most cases and only seem to look a quarter or two ahead to make investors happy. Limiting their greed just slightly compared to their competitors might earn some good will in the future, but even that seems to be beyond most corporations.
but everyone will have a different set of apps they consider crucial
In the end, that didn't work out that well for Palm. They had many thousands of apps and are now effectively history even though they had the advantage of being open as well. An app store may have helped them, but in the end I don't think that's why they're not the most popular phone platform.

Wait until you see how IBM charges for it. If you think Microsoft has expensive licensing, you haven't worked closely enough with IBM.

It may, or may not, be useful.
As long as they don't hire their developers ... FaceBook requires some semblance of security.

Does this mean there is a possibility that I'll be able to play "A list" games under Linux now? Finally?
You have to pay license fees to develop or deploy an AAC codec ... check the licensing.
If Oracle is aiming for growth in their services, having customers go to IBM in the short term is a brilliant marketing move.

"Aino big thing"?.

They do have a decent guarantee. It sucks to have to send them, but it's free, and reasonably quick.

I believe TKIP is used for key exchange. Upgrade to WPA/AES or WPA2 /AES and change your keys.
You can reduce risk by changing keys regularly, although it's not really necessary for your average wireless user.
The Rainbow Falls version has a front page SlashDot story pointing it out.
