I don't always agree with David. Heh, he and I even squabbled when I gave him a bad review of his review on my blog. But he's dead on right here. iPhone and Android people can definitely come together here. This is an issue that bridges ALL fanboy boundaries. You'd think we could finally speak with 1 voice on net neutrality as it pertains to wireless, since unlike a cable line we all own the spectrum as a public commons.
Yes, but flash is irrelevant on mobile. It really is. I run Android. I run flash maybe 1 out of 1000 times I use my phone. This is HTML5 vs Applications. Flash has nothing to do with that, really. I don't know of any serious developer saying "Our future is Flash!" Java is even heavily frowned upon.
It's really a question of HTML5 or Native. And, like Microsoft itself and their Native cash cows, native has nowhere to go but down.
It's not even a matter of whether or not we're moving, but whether or not the ignorant ice queens (Palin/Bachmann) of the GOP will ever believe you and how humanity will be affected by that.
I remember listening to an NPR tech podcast where they had (I think) a Wired contributor who bet the host that he could not name a single technology in the last century no longer being made. By this, he meant farm equipment. And it's not semantics. They literally make the EXACT same equipment, same name. They used a turn of the century catalog as their guide. And sure enough, no matter what piece of equipment they looked for, they found someone who made it today.
Now, you say, farming hasn't changed. Well, with the exclusion of the Amish, farming has changed, a lot. There aren't too many horse drawn seed burying at variable depth devices being used... or are they? They still make them, and you can still buy them.
So, this story is really a rip off of that, but it's still true, even in the pure sense.
I've switched almost exclusively to Audible. Audio books, especially when read by the author, convey so much more. Those are, and won't, be automated. Sure, text to speech can read you a McDonald's menu. But It'll never compete with the "feeling" put behind words, because you have to understand "what" your reading before you put such feeling in. Get the free "Go the F--k to Sleep" 6 min audio book narrated by Samuel L. Jackson. No simple text to speech will ever do that.
I expect no automated spam there. I wish I could require all of my email contacts to send voice notes.
So, instead of police busting up iPhones when they shoot someone down in their car, they'll just flash your phone with some twisted Men in Black device?
Yet ANOTHER reason I'll never go back to an iPhone.

If they did that, they'd effectively be selling their the copyright of all their works to each other. They won't even grant full copyright with some limitations. Their whole case is that without enforced, they can't survive. To have a conglomerate wholesale all of their rights to each other makes for an argument that a newspaper is not the sum of its copyrights.
They mean "hacking tools" like tor and pgp/gpg, right? Of course, first they'll come for metasploit, then nmap, then... but we all know what the end game is.
If their end game is to get everyone to get on Blacknets, they're doing a good job.
The availability of tools that can automagically find these vulnerabilities and exploit them is what I blame.
I have no such sympathy. Those tools with find holes are not just as easy for security staff to obtain, but those tools were made FOR the security staff. If someone works in IT Security and don't know how to run Metasploit on their own infrastructure, then they are utterly useless to the point of being the real point of blame. And if companies can't hire those individuals, they are as to blame as banks that don't take security measures to protect tellers from armed bank robbers.
The same trend to "open environment" that has removed the bullet proof glass from bank tellers is the same BS "open environment" pushed by company websites. Yeah, they opened it, alright. They flew so fast to become "social" that they exposed their nickers!
"Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear." Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Peter Carr, Aug. 10, 1787)
He can also give back, if he chooses. Allowing science to study his condition, maybe helping find a cure, picking the best moment to die, and donating his body to science. It is sad, but we should always make the best of our life, even our end of life.
When Google first demo'd android, they used a G pattern. Though it may be many degrees higher of potential security, I wonder how many people just spell a letter.
This is still news for nerds... remember when the 15-20 year olds ran the tech world? Unfortunately for our 15-20 year old readers, they do not remember, because it has been so long.
We don't have enough engineers... in office. We don't have enough scientists... in office. Our office holders are lawyers and bankers. When the lawyers and bankers run the country, they treat engineers the same as they do as CEO... low pay basement treatment.
...and let me first say, I don't like Apple, don't like their snobbish, and inferior (imho) interfaces, their lock-in, and their outrageous prices.
However...
Apple, though I don't agree with how they do it, are able to bring together X, Y, and Z in a one of the most fascinatingly memetic way that touches something in a global manner. They are not innovators, because they don't own X, Y, or likely Z either. They design in such a way as to make people say, "What an innovation!" Yet, they are looking at the same X, Y, and Z as before. Mozart didn't invent musical instruments, he simply mastered their use and composition.
But there is a price. Mozart didn't get free pianos or violins simply because he knew how to use them. We shouldn't assume that because Apple uses a technology better that they invented or even improved it. And, in their defense, maybe they fell into the same fallacy of "I use it best, I should therefore not be bound to pay or give others credit." Unfortunately, this is much like those of us (and I do mean myself in that "us") who love FOSS and bristle that we have to actually "pay" for code sometimes.
Brits are heavy Google users and Baidu doesn't translate to English very well yet. But I hear that is changing soon, and the new English version BendOver.co.uk is set to release.

Next time, please at least say who is suing them in the summary.
Always do the opposite of a conservative, especially the "freedom-loving" libertarian types.
Opposite? So I can't cheat on my wife with my young male interns? Or have, as I like to call them, "Tickle Fights"?
Yes,we are aware you are one of many petitioning for .FU, but now you must convince us you are not violating the .FUBU trademark.
