There's no reason to trust Blackberry. Even though the new devices can do IMAP directly (not indirectly through the "cloud"), they send your login credentials to RIM. Details: http://frank.geekheim.de/?p=2379

From the article: I write this to point out that, in the US, people will treat any crank seriously if he has enough money or enough prowess in another field. A sufficiently rich person is surrounded by sycophants and stenographers who won’

We've seen recently from some of these systems that the POWER processors are much more effective than x86 processors. They consume lower power and generate less heat. In other words, POWER is not in the same market as x86 or ARM. I

That Lenovo phone uses an Atom Z2580 SoC. Anandtech benchmarked a similar Atom SoC, which used around 4 watts in a 3D game [0]. The Atom D2500, in contrast, has a TDP of 10 watts [1]. [0] http://images.anandtech.com/reviews&

I'm curious why the original article wasn't the one submitted (though it's inserted at the bottom of that entry). The submitted article is hosted on the original author's blog.

My take on improving the Google translation: Because the Tor hidden services story is just making the rounds: Tor is dead. Tor is based on the assumption that the opponent is not able to monitor the entire Internet. Then, so the assumption

Actually he described it quite well. Appetite is psychological, whereas hunger is a physical sensation of pain. I'm replying to your post because I get hungry even quicker. I had lunch (rump steak, potatoes) at 1pm and now at 4:30, I&#

Also, if connected via PCI, networking hardware has direct memory access. AFAIK most GSM modems are USB devices, though.

In my opinion, all private communication should be safe from eavesdroppers. For one on one chats, many applications implement encryption through OTR or PGP. I haven't found anything comparable for group chats, though. I'm asking

Openness is important, but it's not enough for success. People will use Hemlis because it looks pretty and because it's backed by Peter Sunde and the other TPB guys. Or maybe they won't, because all of their friends use Whats

Kind of neat, but very slow. On my laptop, it uses 8% CPU just to show the shell, and 15% to run top.

The rod in the middle of the picture contains thorium-MOX pellets, and is being inserted into the reactor (which is underground). So these guys are standing right next to a fuel rod radioactive enough to start a nuclear chain reaction? [0

Crypto software that doesn't work potentially puts people at risk. If a car mechanic only used half the wheel nuts to fasten the rims on your car, would you stay calm and give constructive criticism?

Some people have valuable data inside their browsers. Javascript code can access this data. Also, browsers aren't bug-free, and enabling Javascript significantly increases the attack surface.

Disabling Javascript isn't equivalent to installing an ad blocker. Ads not showing are just a side effect if it. If sites can't integrate ads on the server side it's not my problem. Same with analytics: you can still use regu
