This could have been a great chance for Blackberry to get some good press - the CarrierIQ story has been picked up by a huge number of news sites, instead it's buried in a support forum thread.

Not sure why this hasn't been upvoted more, especially as it is one of the most relevant posts I've read in this thread.

Something that the demo video has made me think of, is how their new UI style seem like it would be easy to use on a tablet. The large whitespace, oversized icons and 'clickable' areas.

Exactly. The only way Adobe can claim that it's not generic is if they actively pursue those using it in a generic sense.

Sure some are, I was generalising. Those that are aimed at children will have undergone appropriate safety testing before going to market.

Is there any reason this is marked as scribd, when the link goes to a normal PDF? Usually I avoid scribd documents, but I noticed that the link didn't go to scribd. [Apologies that this is Offtopic, but I was unsure where to post this quest

A camera however isn't aimed at being used by children. However part of Sugru's marketing is that it can make a camera child-safe; with the implication that it can be used by children. This potentially makes them liable, while a normal came

Exactly what I was wondering.

Nice catch, I missed the implications on that one, but you're right - seems like a potential legal nightmare in that particular case.

Sounds fantastic, although given some of the examples (child-proof camera, and dishwasher repair) the fact it's not certified as being food or child safe is slightly disturbing. I'd play down those two examples if it was me, until it did ge

If you look at the next post on the blog, there is a video of, what looks to be the first, pepper spray usage. I hope that this usage wasn't condoned.

I'd have to disagree with your interpretation of the guidelines. "On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anythin

Anyone know if AI-Class will be running again in 2012? The links between the 2012 courses suggest not, but that could just be down to Ai-Class being different.

For me it took 3 or 4 hours a week per course. It doesn't sound like much, but pre-arranged plans made it hard to find a decent sized piece of time (>1 hr) in which to do the work.

Although I had to drop the previous classes due to time, this looks promising. Particularly with the unified style; that is the one thing that seemed to hurt this years effort - The most widely advertised course (AI) had the worst layout an

It says it's illegal to send requests that aren't in good faith. That's a big loophole there. The question is whether the automated tool identifying them is enough to cause a good faith belief.

by lambada 15y ago
Seconded. I've had to drop AI class because the lack of downloadable videos means I can't watch them when I like - out internet speed is appalling when I'm free to do things like this. Still going with db-class though. It does make me wonde

For anyone who hasn't used Tor before, I'm going to clarify some of the inaccuracies/FUD in the article. - A darknet did not 'grow out' of the Tor software. The ability for anyone to host websites on their computer anonymously is a standard

The ability to securely and anonymously host websites is a standard feature of the freely available, open source Tor software. Tor was originally funded by the EFF and the US Navy. So yes, the authorities most definitely know of its existen

Finally. [And to make this a less shallow post] I find it interesting that Google thought they would have had more time.[1] I would have thought that they'd know that social networks these days either grow exponentially, or stay flat. Googl

It's to do with whether a company has a 'physical presence' in a country. Facebook has a large presence in Ireland as a company, and Ireland is part of Europe. It's less to do with a country enforcing it's laws abroad, and more to do with c

"Apple’s iPad only recently got its own version of Flash," This is news to me, did I miss an announcement somewhere? I thought the iPad was still as Flash-less as ever.
