   Effectively there is an invisible google circle and everyone is in it! For me this contradicts my understanding of the basic principle of G+ cirlces. I.e that I can post stuff to a few individuals knowing that only they will see it. If Goo

   I think the real issue is that there is a misalignment of "business models". On the one hand you have an open Source project with little funding relying on a small group of volunteers acting mostly out of a sense of social responsibility an

    So you have extremely strong evidence of legal and anti-competitive practices and nothing can probably be done ?? Is the US financial industry now untouchable? Sounds like some south american banana republic from the 70's to me. The scary t

    3 points 1. Most existing Flash content is designed for the keyboard and mouse. Even if they were written using JS/CSS etc the same user interface issues would exist. In other words the problems are with the initial UI design. Flash really

    My understanding is that, at least in the UK, patents are a contract between the inventor and the state. The state grants you a monopoly and in exchange you tell the state how it works. The state has the right to seize your invention (aft
