   It's that same 5-10% who are posting 90% of the crap on the Daily Mail and the BBC website anyway. Setting up their own blog would defy the point because like any troll they want to be seen on a high traffic site.

   But some of this terrifies me - "allowing users of government services to identify themselves simply and definitively" sounds like an ID card online. What they're promising is a decent single sign on service like Google/Yahoo/MSN. It's a

   As far as I know the use of the term "Open Source" intelligence in the military has no link to Open Source software.

   It's not open source though. It's an open standard listing (all?) the items that one could access using Bloomberg's internal standardised naming scheme from a Terminal.

    Funnily enough when I was presented with the voting screen the "Welcome to Internet Explorer" dialogue appeared above it.

    PBS's Digital Nation - http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/digitalnation/ also had a segment where they showed how drone pilots operate. It's surreal how they "drive to work/war" then come home that night. Having said that from the do

    Well the Apple App Store problems were merely procedural issues whereas the Adobe issues are technically difficult problems that haven't been solved well by anyone and aren't helped by platform/codec war politics.

    To play devil's advocate a little bit it's funny how all the negativity is now focused on Adobe when not many months ago it was all focused on Apple's App Store policy.

    Now, the fees they pay for Chrome may be significant, though we don't know if they negotiated a better deal than the publicly available license. Doesn't the RAND (Reasonable and Non-Discriminatory) nature of H.264 licensing make this impo

    Good info, however CacheFly plans seem to top out at 1,200 GB/month (unless you want to pay overages), this seems really low. That's because if you want more than 1200GB it's not unreasonable to have a tailor-made quote. (e.g. with geogr

    There was a Facebook campaign about a year ago saying that the British Government was going to use taxpayers money to build a £100 million super-mosque in London. If I remember rightly the mayor's office had to publically come out and say t

    What is more dangerous in my opinion is the use of the internet for spreading mistruths that could lead to terrible consequences. On a much lower level you see countless facebook groups protesting against things which are untrue as well as

    Does streaming video work under HTML 5 specs? Yes. Not within ogg/theora it doesn't because there's no way of signaling the correct amount of data to buffer as used in the buffering mechanisms of modern video codecs.

    I've heard stories about "unofficial arrangements" that some CDNs are purported to use in order to see client addresses. No idea if it's true though.
