I think it could be that the platform works differently enough that you can build vulnerable Windows software by just making some assumptions that would be correct in OSX land but not in Windows. Vice versa, most probably.

They surely have strict limitations for the emissions. There is probably a load of filters and converters for the smoke before releasing it.

I hope someone works around the UEFI secure boot soon, I would be very interested in having this as a Linux tablet.

Does the license really need the installation itself to be an upgrade? That would be silly, as everyone who has tried knows that a Windows installation upgraded from a previous version is never as snappy as a clean installation. And in that

Yes, this was the incident I was referring to. Pardon for omitting the source reference. EDIT: And yes, I'm aware that Google and probably all the other providers as well do this with the publicly shared pictures. But they should have no bu

What makes me the most suspicious of it is the content policy they have in place and I've been told they're actually enforcing. Basically it says you can't have certain things in skydrive, otherwise they'll terminate all the services connec

Most of the Humble Indie Bundle games seem to be available on Linux and I wouldn't call them crappy nor flash. But yeah, the big titles rarely work. Valve's work on porting their Source engine to Linux will certainly help this.

They already did, and it seemed to be a solid device when I tried it a bit. Of course they are not very happy to sell anyone that as it runs the infamous 'burning platform', Symbian. http://www.nokia.com/gb-en/products/phone/x7-00/specific

Blit even had some capabilities for terminal side software so that it wasn't entirely "dumb terminal" [1]. After logging in the host was able to upload some code that would run on the terminal during the session, but would be gone after pow

Emphasis on "for now". It wasn't that long ago when saturating 100Mbps link seemed distant. And I'm fairly sure home fiber installations, at least as WAN link, are going to grow pretty dramatically both because of the falling prices and bec

Yeah, I agree that it's bad this wouldn't be possible anymore. It could be that it becomes more popular as it'll be something that's forbidden ;)

People pretty much never change the operating system of their ARM devices anyway. They are a lot more heterogenous thing than PCs and getting any OS to run on some specific ARM device is always quite big a task. There's of course some examp

My understanding is that after MSFT acquisition, they don't use their customer devices as supernodes anymore [1]. For "silent hole punching" with UPnP, that is very much business as usual for any VoIP application as well as other applicatio

"... will arrive on new phones later this year." New phones? So WP7 ones are not upgradable then... I think this is yet again bad news for Nokia, as it deepens their situation of everyone knowing the devices they are selling are soon going

You might want to read between the lines. My take is that the style is a bit sarcastic, especially considering the last lines.

I don't believe the implication here is that it's hard to aim to the ocean, but to actually survive the re-entry. You know, high speed, high temperature and all that.

Most of the community developers have jumped the bandwagon to work with LibreOffice. It seems that the developers still with OpenOffice.org are mostly working for IBM and Oracle. The project just did the first release ( http://www.openoffic

I run a GuruPlug with filesystems on a LVM volume built from e-sata and usb hard drives. It's very fine for my personal needs, except the GP's crazy heat output. What I hope is that some manufacturer built ARM boards with loads of SATA cont

Indeed, it's peculiar how bad Bing is at times. With a Windows Phone in family, I occasionally hit the dedicated Bing-button to quickly search for something only to realize that I'd find the thing I was looking for much faster if I just use

I think it's not that bad he didn't use the data very much himself, as the research could probably not be considered very objective. Didn't he mention he shared the data at least with his research group? Hopefully they'll develop some metho

This kind of reminds me of the Wreck a Movie service ( http://www.wreckamovie.com/ ) from creators of the Star Wreck movies. They say it best themselves: "Based on the experience of creating the Star Wreck phenomenon, Star Wreck Studios has
