Who is blaming Android? Tone of the article is negative towards AT&T, not towards Android. It just happens that apps to do this are easy to come by for Android.
AIM has supported this for years, it's called Direct Connection. Trillian and Pidgin both support IM encryption as well.
Another option is to run your own XMPP server, which can at least guarantee that conversations on that server are safe, but not necessarily those with people on other servers.
They have updated apps such as Google Maps without an OS update. I don't see why they *couldn't* update the browser, other than the fact your version of Android may not run it (through fault of OEMs, carriers and Google allowing the fragmentation).
This is one of the reasons I do not 100% trust a package manager. Sure, it is more secure than downloading from a random site, but there is very little stopping an upstream security issue (or even malicious author) from making it into the mirrors, and I don't trust that all distro developers are checking that the hashes match either.
I guess they're claiming it's smart wake on lan. WoL requres sending a specific packet to the machine. Most people don't know to do this (an admin should, but otherwise...) and the network resources will be unavailable in the meantime. This system keeps the resources available and wakes the computer if they are actually needed. It does not rely on someone being smart enough to wake up the system themselves.
Macs have the option to Wake on Demand which requires the use of an Airport base station but seems to follow the same basic concept.
How is it a weakness? It's a weakness of the admin, but being open source didn't somehow make it easier to get malicious code into the source. People could just as easily hijack a binary file (and there's a good chance it would go unnoticed for a longer time).
Actually, the hash was not modified from when they posted the true source. Anybody who would have checked it would have recognized that something was wrong.

No. It was created to replace Multics. From the very foundation it was made to be portable, multi-user and multi-tasking. I think you're thinking of emacs... or possibly Linux, which was originally to be a terminal emulator.
The site killed Safari 5 (Mac) for me the first time I opened it, when I began scrolling before it was fully loaded. The second time I opened it I didn't touch it until the site loaded and it did not give me an issue. I do have Glims and Flashblock installed, don't know if that could be partially to blame.
I've often wondered what a society that was composed of "island communes" that were then knitted into a capitalist framework would be like.
This is partially included in the plot of Freedom by Daniel Suarez, as well as the corporate reaction to people's independence. Worth checking out (as well as Daemon, the first book).
Because only western countries are able to successfully operate and maintain previous Sukhoi aircraft (from which the PAK-FA is descended)? These aircraft are expensive, countries that can afford to buy them generally have the ability to train and maintain them.
You're right, I'd rather talk to somebody with a heavy accent named John and wait while he runs through a script, lie and tell him I've restarted when it's not needed, not reinstall Windows like he tells me to and then get a part sent out when a hardware part is broken (nothing like reinstalling Windows to fix a physically broken DVD drive).
Or just go to the Genius bar, see if they can fix it/have a spare right there, if not they take it and it gets fixed.
You obviously haven't met many execs. What CEO isn't trying to look cool in front of the stewardess? Upgrading to the latest and greatest Blackberry is so out of style.

Not to pull teeth, but the netbook costs more in Australia too (though only by around $100).

If you're running an ircd as root you deserve whatever you get.

ClamAV makes a great scanner for a questionable torrent file anyway.

Windows can boot from EFI bios... there just hasn't been a reason to.

There was Hitler.
Koreans may be aliens, that doesn't make them extraterrestrials.
A wild Firefox appeared!
Yahoo! used Slash... It's super effective!
Trainer throws Pokeball.
Firefox was captured!
What?!? Firefox is evolving! Firefox has evolved into... Ubuntu!

India also participated on the design and production of the Su-30, which has been sold to China.

Gotta hate that highest rated customer service.

Why would setting up a wireless router require a computer? Plug it in, connect to linksys.
Sounds like you should be using gNewSense.
Operating systems include H.264 playback by default, just as they do with MP3.
I use Red Hat/Fedora you insensitive clod!
