The first machine I played it on cost in the areas of $2000. Now I can run it on a $10 MP3 player smaller than a pack of matches using RockBox. I kind of like the future.
From what I've read, the only one that happily cooperted was Microsoft. They are all *required* to participate to a certain degree and cannot provide details about specifics. Google has been providing general details about request numbers for a few years now, and Apple and others have followed suit.
There's a big difference between volunteering your information and having it scooped up by a government agency that has already shown that it will use the information to blackmail you.
I'm amazed the foreign governments even consider ising an americal based OS (at any time really, but most certainly now) for anything that requires any level of security while also being internet connected. Really, the same goes for most software. It just seems like asking to be pwned.
The problem is that they're not feeling bad. They're upset that the President is not loudly congratulating them of their complete contempt for the constitution.
The big problem is the ongoing silliness of only having a single button. I seem to recall a similar problem where a company insisted their mice only have a single button despite it being far more difficult to use.
There's also the fact that almost everything provided in Android updates can be done via applications. Keyboard changes, notifications, lock screens, etc, are all replaceable. It's nice to get OS updates for as long as possible, but it's really not as important as one might think.
Sorry, I double-checked, and you are correct. You can only set covers for an album, not each individual song in the album. You can do that *from* each individual song in the interface, which is why I thought you could.
I actually quite like Amarok. The sorting, searching and filtering work really well, and I like the Lyrics display as well. The only thing I'm having trouble with is getting it to work as a DAAP client. It sees the source and songs, but won;t play them.
The entire post is a load of crap. WebKit was started as the KDE HTML layout engine, and Google and other wrote a lot of code for it. Apple started to be dickish with accepting others changes lately, so Google forked it and most others are following their branch (even including Opera). If Google copied the iPhone with Android, then Apple copied Windows Mobile with the iPhone.
Damn right Google is putting a lot of weight behind these anti-patent bills. Go check how many patent lawsuits Google has filed (and don't bother counting those from Motorola before Google bought them). Apple isn't bind these bills (I'm guessing Microsoft isn't either) as they're using very questionable, overly broad patents as weapons to try to stifle competition. Have a look at "Rockstar".
Patents have become nothing but weapons to be wielded by wealthy companies that can no longer compete on their products own merits.
If I remember correctly, the original judge learned to code for this case and seemed to be quite knowledgable by the end of it, realizing that if APIs could be copyrighted, programming as we know it would pretty much be impossible. Now we have new judges that don't have that knowledge (presumably) and are thinking of reversing the decision. I'd like to know the grounds they'd be thinking of using for that reversal.
Nice to see Microsoft jumping in to help out Oracle. If you're a software developer, my personal opinion is taht you should do everything you can to stop people from buying anything from either of these two companies.
Slashdot Mirror
Did you used to work i the software security division of Adobe?
Suing customers is Sony Christmas tradition.
AdBlock Plus, not AdAway. AdAway does require root. AdBlock Plus does not (but contains what some might consider "anti-features").
On Android, you can use the AdAway application from F-Droid.org unrooted. It uses a proxy and work pretty well.

I was wondering myself, incompetent or corrupt? I do see IBM involved, so it could be both.
Well, that and they pay us.
He's from the NSA and doesn't want you know his real name.

The cat's out of the bag. The next thing that would get our attention would be some honorable people publicly refusing to violate the constitution.

That's actually no longer even close to true. Last I heard, they're making quite a tidy profit on iTunes content.
There's also the fact that almost everything provided in Android updates can be done via applications. Keyboard changes, notifications, lock screens, etc, are all replaceable. It's nice to get OS updates for as long as possible, but it's really not as important as one might think.
So basically it's about as deserving as the vast majority of software patents that are granted.

It does now (2.8.0).
Amarok does this as well.

Absolutely. There's a very low probablility that I'd ever hire someone named "Anonymous Reader".
