Dropbox's website suggests that they store files using some sort of AES-256 encryption and they cannot read them: https://www.dropbox.com/help/27 I wouldn't make the claim that they are more (or as) secure as Tarsnap (especially since the

For what it's worth, Engadget's original article about the Samsung press event suspected that it would announce the Samsung "Continuum" - a Galaxy S branded phone with two OLED displays. Considering the stock tickers in the background of th

I have not done Java development on OS X, but doesn't this mean that OS X 10.7 would not ship with a Java runtime? Wouldn't this have a negative effect on the ease of packaging and distributing Java programs on the platform?

This sounds like you have two questions: Why are web services emailing you when you have explicitly asked them not to? I do not know the answer to this, but have noticed it as well. Normally, I receive an email for a service when I signed

Your linked article is not really a "confirmation": the BBC talked to a professor from Tufts University who says that the government is behind the account. Alternatively, Forbes talked to Alejandro Cao de Benos (a Spaniard who runs the "Kor

I think this point is similar to that made in Nathan Heller's Slate article - http://www.slate.com/id/2269308/ - that Sorkin believes that Ivy League schools are still controlled by some kind of elite class (if not the WASP elite of old,

Facebook's API (both the new Graph API, and the old REST one) supports this (it allows access to the URLs, and the terms do not prohibit this). I have personally written an application that allows the downloading of photos. I think it would

I think the article was making the point that someone debugging a HTML page would do well to look at both "Inspect Element" and "View Source," as there might be errors only visible in the latter. For example, a few weeks ago, I was testing

This is from June 2009, and includes quotes from Nokia UK's general manager. While it is clear that Nokia is not doing well in the States, I would be interested to see numbers on how Nokia sales have compared to Apple in the UK and Europe.

To be perfectly honest, if you open sourced it but just put up the source to download (and not precompiled binaries for OS X), you'd probably sell close to as many copies as you do now. Although it is also possible that someone would comp

That phone only has 3G on the 900 and 2100 bands, meaning that it will not be compatible with either AT&T's or T-Mobile 3G networks in the US. While HTC Desires with AT&T compatible 3G exist, you would have to drive to Canada to buy

A lot of higher end N routers are dual-band; they work on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 Ghz bands. It would be silly to have a router that only worked with 5 Ghz, since many laptops and almost all cell phones only work with 2.4 Ghz. Routers that w
