In the world of real business, just saying the word "encryption" is meaningless. The standards that need to be met are summed up easily, called "PCI compliance".
Sadly, most any cloud from any company does not meet most PCI or SAS70 requirements. Until it does, cloud is for mom and pop shops.
What??? How should your email platform have much impact on you PCI compliance?
Rule number 1: DO NOT EMAIL CREDIT CARD NUMBERS. Instant dismissal.
All email platforms are covered. Seriously, never send them over email. Ever. There is never a situation where you should send an unencrypted credit card number over email.
Ok I just posted below a similar question, and checking out wikipedia seems to imply that they work with ISO:
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) develops and promotes Internet standards, cooperating closely with the W3C and ISO/IEC standards bodies and dealing in particular with standards of the TCP/IP and Internet protocol suite.
So is this ment to bypass the ISO standardisation, and get it put straight in an ISO standard? That's a pretty imaginative way to play the game, kudos to them.
In a way, they did submit it to ISO, just a small board but one that control everything that Google cares about.
Google could have just released documentation providing the specification, so how does the IETF help? So that they can call it IETF.4628 (Or however the IETF standards are named), or are they looking to make it an internet standard, rather than just a video standard like H.264?
Since you seem to be still trolling, can you give us a reason why someone should be able to have absolute control over their likeness? Are you saying that satire should be illegal, or impersonation artists? Down with SNL! Elvis impersonators are evil!
You do not have absolute control over your likeness, and never had.
Did you just compare making a doll in the likeness of someone to burglary?
Being burgled deprives you of of items you previously had. Having a doll being made of you means you lost... oh yeah nothing because Apple don't make Jobs action figures. How are the two even remotely comparable?
Or are you of the opinion that if I walk down the street and someone take a photo of the street, which you happen to be in, then you should be compensated for making up part the street scene?
Super Mario Bros Wii, is REALLY annoying as a co-op. Did they seriously have to make it so that people can keep jumping on your head killing you by throwing you down the hole?
I was going to be the only person who was going to make it as I jumped last, closer to the edge of the platform. All those other suckers are going to drop down the hole. Wait? Did they just bounce off my head???
I cannot agree more. Resistance was how I got my wife playing FPS' as a co-op, so I picked up Resistance 2 and just found some crappy deathmatch thing thrown in. I have actually never played the game because of the level of disappointment I feel towards it.
Ok, I hadn't really looked in to this before. It seems like the Netflix app is an x86 compiled apk so it will not run on ARM. But if they ever get that compatibility layer for Ubuntu running, it would give you Netflix on Linux;)
True, which is why I was saying that "IF it can get really 7 hours" then that would be awesome. I mean the processor is an ARM dual core, while I haven't seen *that* many meaningful comparisons in a notebook format, if Apple truly can get 5 hours out of their Macbook (and I can do that with web browsing and text editing, just don't start youtube or compiling) and that's on X86 with a HDD (and I've heard of Linux laptops being able to approach that), then why couldn't an ARM with an SSD get to 7 hours?
My Android phone can last around two days with mixed usage.
Note that the link talks about 8 hours of mixed video and browsing, the 7 hours was my typo. It was 7 days standby.
Now with such a slim case, I would like to see some benchmarks of the battery before I believe anything, but if it was in a normal laptop case with the size of their batteries, I wouldn't doubt it was possible.
I would agree that it looks awesome. When I first looked I thought that $450-$550 seemed a bit much, thinking about it though, if it can really get 7 hours of real usage then this could be something that a traveller could use.
I would like to say that I appreciated at least the attempt, but when I went to replace my laptop earlier this year there wasn't a single Ubuntu laptop that didn't suck. They just picked out the bottom spec couple of PC's and stuck it on them, I would be not surprised if they come back saying that there was lack of interest because they didn't have a computer worth buying.
I must admit, personally I'd have a preference for x86, because of compatability with PCs (which I will always prefer as a platform over locked down phones), but it's not like ARM are some niche player here.
Compatability? I thought we used.net these days in Windows.
Why are we using a VM if the code isn't portable?
T-Mobile does the Flex-pay. Is that what you are after? They require you pay the monthly bill at the beginning of the month rather than the end, but gives you a contract like plan but without the contract.
Good. How did we ever get in to the situation where game companies can jack up average prices $20 with each new generation? There is a reason I stopped buying games after they passed the $30-40 mark. That is just too much for someone like me.
Why should I feel sorry for people like EA and their identical annual franchises?
Slashdot Mirror
There is one:

Yes, in this video he pulls off the back and you can see the micro sd card slot.

Slashdot ate half of what I wrote.
http://www.unxis.ca/ Is the Google result, and seems to have been made in 5 mins, or by a colour blind manager.
http://www.unxis.co.uk/ Pushes you to SCO.com
http://www.unxis.com/ Sends you to a link farm
http://unxis.it/ Is password locked.
Back in 2009 Unxis and SCO seemed to be the same company.

So I would say it all seems like a scam to avoid having to do anything legal.

Except that Discover Card is not used outside the US. Making it worthless.
American Express is slightly better, but it still isn't widely accepted.
I hear cash is accepted most places.

RAGE!

It helped that it was also an awesome game.
Then you sir write crappy code. Please don't blame a language for not being portable, if you insist on using proprietary extensions.
Please define "never true" with regards to Squirrel:

Ok, I hadn't really looked in to this before. It seems like the Netflix app is an x86 compiled apk so it will not run on ARM. But if they ever get that compatibility layer for Ubuntu running, it would give you Netflix on Linux ;)
XDA already ripped the app from the Google TV. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812601&page=6
Netflix runs on the Google TV... http://blog.netflix.com/2010/10/netflix-on-google-tv.html
Google TV runs on Android... http://code.google.com/tv/web/faq.html
Thus Netflix runs on Android. I don't really know much about the whole pkg infrastructure, is the Android VM still close enough to Java for the write once run anywhere?
Be careful though, if you link on the image rather than the customise link at the bottom then you get pushed over to Windows.

Why would the RIAA care if you downloaded a TV show?

I've bought branded CFLs in the last few months that leave the room feeling dim for a couple of minutes.
Were you watching Fox at the time? It might not be the bulb that made the room feel dim.

I don't think I really want to know how you can accomplish that...
