The chancellor's press secretary denies that this malware is the Bundestrojaner , claiming that it has never been used by the BKA, the federal crime investigation department [1]. From the wording of the tweet I assume that instead some LKA

Even the CCC agrees that wiretapping is necessary for catching criminals. They actually warned the police about the upcoming disclosure so that running investigations would not be jeopardized. The issue here is that this malware obviously e

We have no reason to suspect CCC's findings, but we can't confirm that this trojan was written by the German government. As far as we see, the only party that could confirm that would be the German government itself. [1] I guess they are

I disagree. There is no single incident that caused everyone to love Open Access. Instead, over the last years librarians and activists have been slowly but steadily been making progress in this regard - without breaking the law or contract

Valuable point. I'm not sure if I agree with the "excellent value". However, at least ACM tries to be reasonably fair. Recently they seem to have introduced a clause in the copyright transfer from which allows you to retain copyright for sp

According to to the petition's website [1], of the 31,000 'scientists' (they seem to define this very broadly, most do not have PhD) only 39 are actually climatologists. [1] http://www.petitionproject.org/qualifications_of_signers.php

Companies get sold all the time. Maybe someone at OnStar realized that this is a realistic possibility in the next couple of years. Maybe OnStar wants to found a shell corporation. I have seen such wording in a number of other TOSes so far,

Thanks for the clarification. Is there really much demand for such a board?

Actually, there are a number of online shops that you can ask to manufacture and/or sell your design, e.g. [1,2]. However, manufacturing electronics in low quantities is quite expensive. Additionally, in order to legally sell this stuff in

The distance between the two rows of pin headers on each side is not a multiple of 0.1". This means that every shield that you attach to the Arduino needs to have this same strange spacing between the rows of pin headers. You cannot just u

Building working prototypes is no longer a major problem. Nowadays, (experienced) individuals can design portable game consoles [1], alarm clocks [2], mobile phones [3], and pretty much everything else. However, you need a lot of money, tim

Hmm, I'm not sure whether an ARM board is really a good idea. For most applications, a normal Arduino is easily sufficient. For anything more complicated, you can buy an ARM board running Linux (e.g the upcoming Raspberry Pi [1] for $25-$35

It's a laser projector combined with a camera. Nice but nothing revolutionary. You can build something like this yourself using e.g. a Microvision ShowWX+ ($300), a webcam and some mirrors. No need to wait for a device that might be comm
