There is always the battery life issue but a hypervizor that recognized the limitations of a mobile phone (it will never run something like VMware Unity) it would certainly be able to perform pretty nicely. Looking forward to this.

I agree that it is very easy for this to lead to a bad situation for customers. But that subsidizing model still applies. You know how much it costs to connect a cable line to a house? That wiring costs 100s-1000s of dollars per house (why

Right, where comcast pays L3 to deliver what comcast has to send. L3 still needs to pay someone (either comcast or someone else) to take the what they have to offer. No one wants traffic, thats why L3 has to pay to send Netflix to customers

Lots of people seem to be forgetting that content providers want to connect to customers just as much as the customers want the content. Comcast:"L3 you want to connect to all my cable customers fast and you don't want to pay even more to g

A fine on this sort of thing seems like the wrong message. The breaches will happen whether there are fines or not, the fines just make people less likely to report it which makes it harder to do things like obtain "a court injunction prohi

Every time I see one of these articles come up on Hacker News I always think "Oh, I bet Anandtech's article must be out." And I go there instead of reading the one linked here.

Ubuntu is certainly not too big to ignore. I have never seen any source say Linux (let alone Ubuntu) has more than 5% marketshare. Does your company support 800x600? How about IE6?

The best quotation from this: "The U.S. seems sadly unprepared to take advantage of the revolution it has spawned. The country’s worn-out infrastructure, failing education system and lack of political consensus have prevented it from riding

couple questions: How does licensing work? Let's say I'm teaching a class on how to use dreamweaver. Obviously I'd like to simply launch 30 instances for 1 day and then give them to each of the students, but I don't think the license works

How is the Mac app store any different from Ubuntu's? With both platforms, you can install other programs not in the store. Both of them automate the install and update process for applications. Both of them (now) allow you to pay for apps.

It has nothing to do with holes in AES, NSA just has better brute force capabilities than the FBI or any other law enforcement. And while you sit in jail awaiting trial, they take the months it takes to brute force a key.

No legally in the US you are not required to give the keys to the safe, but they can drop your sentence significantly for working with the investigators. For a safe, if you don't give them the key, the get a grinder and hack saw, for an enc

After reading the Times article, I don't see how TOR would be affected. Tor ensures Annonimity not Privacy. Tor just obfuscates who you are talking to, not what you are saying. A warrant to your ISP will get everything you say over TOR (ass

Not enough news sites tell you how to apply for the money they report about. I understand a lot of it isn't known yet, but at least a blurb saying "Businesses will be able to apply at fbo.gov on such and such date" or something like that.

I read that article too and it only gave me more questions. Sure the owners wouldn't know who was using the system and couldn't lock them out. That seems to be the whole point of annonomizing software? Why does that make it insecure? If tho
