But one of the things Apple can now do is void you keys and make all the apps on people computer unusable at least as I understand it. So for legally dubious application this wouldn't be such a good idea.

He's a Canadian resident but not a citizen, it limits what Canada can do for him as far as I understand he is a Iranian citizen and thus they can pretty much do what they want with him. This case really angers me and it makes me feel quite

" It's like patenting a mathematical formula." More like an Mathematical Algorithm but even then, most devices are physical representation of a algorithm in some way. I don't see how this is a valid attack on software patent or patents in g

I'd be surprised that people would just turn that feature off pretty quickly after getting a new Mac. There are tons of application out there that aren't sign and aren't malware. People will come to view this feature like the annoying warni

"The overwhelming majority of their users will never touch it." That's unless they want to install any app currently available on the Web that isn't signed. There is a lot of legacy software people keep using, even Mac users. I don't see th

Yep, that made for tv movie has really ruined the debates on how the event actually unfolded. It was a pretty terrible movie in a lot of ways and it got a lot of facts wrong.

How do they know it's encrypted? I mean would they block something that looks like gibberish but was plain text over port 80?

Cause most people have already written Nokia off. They are all guilty and I hope they all end up in a situation where they either agree to end this or die.

Ah I see how that works now, so it would be possible to make the assignee a one time thing too but in the end what would prevent a "inventor" from assigning the patent to a troll in the first place and some troll create their own patents so

This is a classic case of you reap what you sow. Hopefully all these companies will one day come to their senses and move against software patents. I'm not holding my breath with Apples 100B in the bank and large numbers from the other play

I'm not sure how that could be done. If I understand correctly it's the person with his name on the patent that is allowing these companies to use his patent in anyway they see fit. Their name is still on the patent so it wasn't exactly tra

I appreciate your reply. As far as the Pepper API my understanding is that it was an extension to NPAPI to improve it, not an attempt at creating an incompatible API. I can't find any source on why Mozilla decided to not use it. From the Pe

Funny example, but there is something about most three.js examples that bugs me, mostly the way in which they use the mouse position to move the camera. It sometimes makes it really hard to control the demo.

Sorry but I don't see that as them not showing interest in working with others at all. There is a NaCL plugin for firefox written by Google, in both case the specs a open and the code in WebKit is open source. They can't force others into u

Morality changes with time. The laws have been changed to reflect. The UK government is saying that they can't pardon something that at the time was a crime and was prosecuted properly. I don't see that as immoral even if I find the past la

I decided to try Gnome 3 (still on Ubuntu) and I am more satisfied with that right now. ( also think it's more aesthetically pleasing) I had some issues with the side dock but gnome's version is a little less intrusive.

This article doesn't have much details on what the actually attack involved. Anyone have actual details. I would assume that VeriSign has a very segregated network and a breach somewhere would have a hard time propagating to their more impo

Yeah it's pretty annoying when he claims to represent the majority when 61% of Canadians (who voted) voted for someone else.

I was going to say essentially the same thing. My MP is already in the Opposition so I can't really do much here to fight this but if there was a protest I would try to participate. It's was obvious that as soon as a majority government wou

Well if you read the article that doesn't matter in this case since it's a criminal case not civil (in which it could be argued that the system in place was inadequate). The article claims that what needs to be shown is intent on violating

Some people like to know how things work, they like to take things apart and rebuild them. Linux From Scratch (the distro) might be the extreme of this but Arch seems to strike a decent balance. Also, you do get more vanilla software from t

Well, I'd suggest you apply and see what happens, I mean would you not consider dropping out of CEGEP for a while to see if your idea pans out? I believe that you could still get into an American University without finishing CEGEP(it's prob

So, if I understand your logic, Fedex, which often ends up transporting illegal drugs in around the US, profits from illegal packages, they should have their entire company shutdown and all packages impounded? I'm sure there is plenty of ot

No I believe the hardware side of the mobile division is included. But that was just a bonus (or a curse?) for Google who, as you said, just really wanted the patent.

It's quite ridiculous, I wonder why they don't use that as leverage to truly screw with everyone hiring talent in the industry.

That's not the way I see it. Google realizes that Apple with a strong majority share of the mobile market would be free to ignore Google entirely. They could severely reduce Google's ability to advertise by controlling mobile app ads. Googl
