In this case, the problem is that WinPE still is x86 only, and x86 still has a major disadvantage in power draw compared to ARM-based chips like the OMAP.
Elevation's slightly different in Ubuntu compared to Vista. In Vista, you get a UAC prompt (sometimes several) every time an app requests admin privileges. If the app doesn't have focus, it blinks in the taskbar until you click it, when it overtakes the screen. If you're admin, it simply asks for allow/deny, otherwise it asks for the user/pass of an admin user. In Ubuntu, it pops up a password box (even if you are an admin user) that overtakes the screen, and you have elevation until you don't do any admin tasks for 5 minutes or so.
Blackberry connect access to mail file. This allow limited ability to work with attachments, which is viewed as a "good" thing because the device is not encrypted.
Not sure about BB-Connect, but "real" BlackBerrys support full-device encryption, and it can be enforced via BES*. Combined with the fact that all BB-BES communication's encrypted and the remote self-destruct, they're pretty damn secure.
PS: The latest firmware also allows full attachment downloading.
*BlackBerry Enterprise Server, the conduit between a Exchange/Notes/GroupWise server and the handhelds/Connect.
And you honestly expect every business to write something as vital and complex as a Notes/GroupWise/Citadel/... client on their own, when they can just buy another hanset (like a BlackBerry) that handles them out of the box? Especially for such a petty reason as "duplicating built-in functionality"?
404 == HTTP error code for "page not found". And the summary's wrong, they're actually hijacking 502 (bad gateway/no such domain) pages, which is a major difference. Hijacking 502s only requires their DNS servers to redirect nonexistent domains to the ad page, while hijacking 404s would require them to sniff every page you visit.
No, a package manager has nothing to do with openness. A package manager streamlines the process of installing and removing software packages, and optionally keeps track of the latest versions of software packages. App Store is a package manager. Steam is a package manager, albeit a specialized one. Even Windows Installer (MSI) is a (weak) package manager. Where the software comes from is irrelevant, only the function matters.
Comparing Lotus Notes to Mail.app is like comparing a multitool to a pocket knife. Yes, Notes is insanely bloated, but it's mail, groupware, an office suite, and app framework all rolled together.
What you're looking for is called a "package manager". It also goes under names like gnome-app-install, Synaptic, YUM, RPM, YaST, portage, and App Store.
Having the sync for Google to Outlook might work, but again it sucks to have to fire up the gprs/wifi to sync rather than having it happen automagically when I drop it in the dock to charge. Not mentioned above, but still valid, is that I would have to go through google to get my mail.
If I understand correctly, it's even better than docking it. When you make changes, they just (dare I say) get pushed back to Google, and from there to Outlook. You don't have to actually use GMail (it does support POP and IMAP+IDLE), but you do need to have a google acct to use the OTA sync.
GPS is there, and tied into Google Maps. And Google already has a sync plugin for Outlook, Thunderbird/Lightning has an extension, and it's built into Evolution.
The idea is that you see the ads, and the ads cover the cost of the data. There's no point in making it ad supported if it isn't free or fucking cheap.
I think you mis-understand. This isn't meant to replace Outlook, the Windows-only desktop mail/groupware client. This is meant to replace Exchange, the Windows-only mail/groupware SERVER that Outlook is built to connect to, complete with cloning the MAPI protocol Outlook speaks. We won't have a drop-in Outlook replacement until Evolution finishes their MAPI code (IIRC in the next release).
Of course, this is all moot in a lot of businesses if it can't connect to BES, which you (currently) need a Windows box for anyway.
The codenames are only officially used in development and the names of repositories, both of which will not be seen by "new people". ubuntu.com, the installer, and the default homepage all refer to "Ubuntu 8.04 LTS".
Assuming two things, yes: 1) EULAs are legal binding contracts, which has never been really tested 2) EA isn't sued over the EULA and the clause that grants EA ownership of your creations is deemed unconscionable (no sane person would agree unless faced with someone like EA) by a judge/jury.
Actually, if you slot a microSD card in a BlackBerry, you can set it up to encrypt the card along with the rest of the device, and it's scrubbed along with everything else if too many wrong passwords are entered in*
*The password and encryption is done device-side, so it even works in Linux.
PS: For remote wiping, you need to be on a BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES), which usually means your BB is company-issued. If you need it nuked, call up your admin and ask him to trigger the remote wipe. Keep in mind that the BES can (and usually does) track anything and everything that happens on a BES-connected BB, so a wipe will do nothing to hide things from your company.
Go to Options-Security Options-General Settings. Enable password and content protection. Set the security timeout and password attempts to your preference. Now, when the timeout expires (X minutes after you stop hitting buttons) or you hook it to a PC, it asks for a password. If someone types in the wrong password Y times (10 is default, but you can go lower), it forces a reboot, and scrubs down the memory, which takes 20 minutes to an hour.
To force the scrub, go to Options-Security Options-General Settings. Click the menu button, select "Wipe Handheld", type blackberry.

Red Alert used a fsckton of FMV, so they split the campaigns over two discs. Plus, it made an excuse for Westwood to pack two discs, so a friend could play RA when they came to your place for a LAN party or something.

Odds are, yes. Unless it says you have to send the key/password separately.
