Having visited New Orleans after Katrina, you could not escape the feeling that neglect, and dereliction of duty of our elected officials displayed before, during, and after the event. Strong words came to mind at the time, something akin t

The idea of transparency resonates with me, but to attribute a lack character to people who do not live and have the opportunity the Mr Zuckerberg enjoys is something i find abhorrent. Transparency starts at home, Facebook is not a transpar

I had a facebook account for a good while, was lazy enough to have used it to authenticate to this very site. I was always somewhat troubled by the way the site privacy system morphed overtime, but it served a great utility for me especiall

I will admit first ignorance on cellular radio standard, but i'm quite sure its possible to build a CDMA and GSM all in one phone, that are activated based on availability and carrier. I would love to get a droid phone that does just that.

People keep saying this, but i don't think it is true. People do care about privacy quite allot, many will lower the shades when they undress, not all of them speak about their sexual identity for instance, a good number of people are nervo

that is actually a success of sorts, encryption that goes unnoticed by users in a great model. it is up to application providers to make it a standard. surely there is a great market share for ubiquitous encryption.

Well they are actually getting investors at the moment, and they might get sage advice by people who are willing to do so on the net.

Of course they can limit the grounds for Jail Breaking, if they allow side loading of applications without the app store.

Maybe the issue is that in order to develop for the iphone or Ipad you are forced to use the SDK which in turn requires apple hardware (MAC) and apple software (OSX) to run. software that you are also prohibited from virtualizing?

Packages ware old, especially with regards to H.264 support, granted you have to tweak the settings to get a good result, but at present I think H.264 suffers on Linux, because of the legal baggage that comes with it. Many services will sur

Wordepress has a vibrant community, great features, and a fairly elegant backend. It's a great way to go about building a website without having to futz around too much, if the content of your site is what you want to focus on rather then t

Playback isn't a problem usually, but i did encounter problems with encoding H.264, on server side, using ffmpeg of which the build process wasn't trivial.

Had it not been for all the work done before on freeBSD or the mach kernel design, if the industry needed to rely on the heavy hand of Patent hounds and closed system advocates, the reincarnation of Apple would not be possible. Indeed, Goog

What if, is not the question here. What is, on other hand, is more relevant, and at present the most obnoxious experience of web advertising is via flash.

I would dare say that other ways to get apps on the phone without the app store is even better for developers.

I keep thinking Apple support for HTML5 is precisely because it has a long way to go, and does not address big media concerns. The gap is filled by the app store which they control, and wont open.

I expect to have Flash available for my for droid soon, and for many of the reasons presented in this well articulated press release, i will not install it. The thought of having to wait till a useless flash Ad render on my mobile browser,

I found cellphones on several occasions, never gave it to anyone. I always tried (and was successful) in finding the owner by calling people on the phones address book. Actually giving the phone to a stranger, never really crossed my mind,
