  1. Re:good! on Court Order Against German T-Mobile iPhone Sales · · Score: 3, Informative

    Thats not how it works in Germany - many people would be happy if it was that way. In Germany you can only buy it in T-Mobile shops. You can only buy the phone if you sign up for a 2 year contract in that shop - only after signing the agreement do you get the iPhone. You can't buy it from an Apple Store like in the USA.

  2. Keep your stuff updated.. on iPhone, iPod Touch 1.1.1 Firmwares Jailbroken · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Apparently they used the same vulnerability to hack the PSP.

  3. Like Opera? on Vodafone Move Invites Web Development Chaos · · Score: 1

    Sounds similar to what Opera does with its Opera Mini browser where when you request a page the browser doesnt request it directly from the net but via a proxy, a server operated by Opera - which gets the page for you, shrinks it and sends it to you. Saves traffic and the page you get is far more pleasing to view on a small screen. I wanted to do something similar with squid on my small server at home - just to have more control about what happens during the adaptation process but havent had the time to read up all the docs on how it could be done.. anyone know of some good recipes that already do something like this?

  4. Re:The road... on Corporate IT Hanging Up on Apple's iPhone · · Score: 1

    So much for my english skills - thankies :)

  5. The road.. on Corporate IT Hanging Up on Apple's iPhone · · Score: 1

    to the 29th June is plastered with daily iPhone stories :)

  6. This is hardly 'news'.. on Human Genome More Like a Functional Network · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Why it was called junk before you'd ask? Because our definition of what is useful wasnt all that accurate.. just looking at so called open reading frames and declaring everything else to be junk does not work. There is also the problem with insertions in a gene sequence that are either not or alternatively used. There are plenty of sequences that are never translated (no proteins are made of it) BUT without them we would be missing a big chunk of regulators etc. 'Recent' findings like ribozymes, IRES elemtens, attenuation elements etc. are all not translated into a protein yet serve a very specific function. Some of this 'junk' also serves as a insulator / separator between various sequences. We may never be able to map every nucleotide to some function but declaring it junk from the get go was just looking to be proven wrong. Just look up NCBI and look for some good reviews on this topic ;)

  7. There is a difference on Why Music Really Is Getting Louder · · Score: 1

    between file compression (mp3 / ogg / whatever) and compression as used by sound engineer. It will basically make the music have more of 'punchy' feeling. Google for loudness race - 'carefully' listen to a current top-ten pop song and you will easily notice how crappy it actually is.
