Has anyone ever been so far as to do what to do what more like iPad desktop appstore windows 8 run metro UI browser accidentally a coke bottle. Then who was iPhone?
I think that about sums it up.
Oh, I guess it was pretty obvious after all. Thank you for clearing that up.
There's nothing wrong with Slashdot "articles" contradicting themselves, because they are not articles written by Slashdot staff. They are stories submitted by users and there's nothing wrong in contradiction arising out of two stories (which are basically opinions based on some facts) submitted by two different people.
Whoa!
You mean we don't all agree on everything?
I'm in danger of forming an opini... Nope, it went away.
It is not a bad thing if libraries are shut down after becoming less relavent. If cheap/free digital books become as common as TV then we won't need them anymore. We only need a few redundant collections to preserve hard copies in case of an electromagnetic disaster.
Yahoo! is hugely commercial, which is why I don't use it. Yahoo and the government have the same clients and the same product. You are the product, the clients (the ones who pay the bills) are big business.
So, there are people still using yahoo to send email?:O I thought they were all spammers O_O
LOL! Good point.
My ISP sends email to to me via a Yahoo! account, which they provided. Which is why I don't get any email from my ISP. No one asked me, I refuse to use it, can't stand Yahoo, never could.
The sad thing is that prior art is patented regularly. Just try to get a patent, no matter how obviously bad, dismissed. It only takes >$1 mil, and maybe a few years, during which you can't do business.
Yes that was a joke.
The current state of the world is corporate controlled fascist dictatorship. Not a joke. Corporations own and control everything, and short of revolution (they are happening here and there), there is fuck all you can do about it.
Capitalism does not create corruption, it minimizes overhead for corruption, but it doesn't create it. There just needs to be a death penalty for taking money from private interests while serving the public interest.
As opposed to getting the green light by the supreme court?
Both myself and my wife agree that WP7 is way better than Android in usability and lack of bloat.{ . . . } Untill then STFU and stop spreading the FUD.
I'm pretty sure that they just aren't releasing the source with the binary but are planning to release it later. This is what they always do. It's reprehensible, but not really worth this much fuss.
I thought as you did that they were closing it up, it appears that that is not so.
Since I love to stoke paranoids into catatonic states let me tell you who. The NSA that is who. The NSA looks at the sources with team of experts, they do not put in exploits they just find them and keep them for future use.
But you can't resist labeling the stokage. I suppose your ego must be served, but it would be more effective if you didn't do that.
RMS "freedom means doing it my way". I think we have seen greenwashing now once more RMS gives us "free turfing".
Google didn't release the source for Android 3.x because it was a stop gap release. Maybe they are using some code that bought to get it out sooner.
Yes, I didn't glean that. Google never releases the source until well after an update. Questionable, but at least they do release, I have recanted elsewhere.
Oh and about Linux not having an NSA backdoor? How do you know? Have you checked every source file?
Of course not, but someone has.
What about utilities that maybe running as root? You build your own kernel or do you use a Distro?
Of course the funniest thing is that anybody worries about the NSA having a back door on their OS. What level of self delusion must one have to think that the NSA would care enough to spy on them.
It was an example, I used the NSA because they have sparked controversy in the past. If you think that the NSA has no interest in spying on anyone, then perhaps you might be interested in homeland security. If you think homeland security is not spying on as many people as they have manpower for then you are living on a different planet. All this is aside from my point.

I don't think so. Even if that is attempted it isn't hardware, it's firmware. Firmware can be updated.
I've never heard of it either. It's prolly Cygwin.

I can't imagine many people doing that beyond on a tablet like it is intended for.
Apparently my parsing skills need work too. I have no idea what that sentence (I use the term loosely) means.

When did books become free? Digital or otherwise.
It's like the drug companies adding a tiny inert ingredient to a 'new' drug.
Sneaky, I never heard of that one.
Since when is Yahoo a government agency?
Dumbass.
Nice.

and the markets are currently down... where should the people go to show their rage at the people disrupting the markets?
Organize a protest, part and parcel of how a democracy is supposed to work. Of course in a Fascist society, communications get blocked...

strangely, Japanese erotica pop to mind.
A serious problem dude, you should have that looked into.

. . . I wonder how large his severence package was, or if he was already planning on leaving.
He'll probably try to get a job working for Google, and get two paychecks.
it doesn't appear that he actually leaked anything that could plausibly be considered secret, and certainly not any interesting secrets
He referred to the phone as an 8. 8 is not 10. Highly reprehensible behavior.

FUD NIH
Oh yeah, first to file. :)
it would be great idea, but Apple and Microsoft already have "being an asshole" patent in their pool.
You can't patent that, too much prior art.
Someone bruise your apple?
Your Ip address has been recorded, your location found, thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
ROFL! Good one.
I write ATC software for your Air Force, you probably want to leave me alone. Not that there are any back doors or anything.
I thought as you did that they were closing it up, it appears that that is not so.
