That would protect against passive attacks with known keys, but it would do little to stop MitM attacks, since your freshly-generated certs haven't been signed by a CA. Is there a way to add a unit-specific salt to a cert?

A patent suit is possible. RIM has a number of mobile UI patents. I'm not familiar with Kik's UI, but if it's as close as I've heard, they could be infringing on a patent like this one: http://www.google.com/patents/about?id=6lKrAAAAEBAJ

A service specifically designed to circumvent the blacklist would likely be blacklisted as well. I think the best (most robust) option is peer-to-peer distribution of a regularly-updated hosts file. Irritating yes, but impossible to stop wi

Fortunately they can't do that. It's GPL'd, no take-backs. They could conceivably remove things from future releases, but I'd expect to see a community fork in that case.

Sorry, I wasn't clear: running X alongside Wayland would hurt performance (at least in RAM-critical environments).

I'd rather see Wayland implement the X protocol themselves rather than proxy to Xorg. Running X and Wayland simultaneously could have performance implications on older computers or netbooks, two of Ubuntu's biggest targets.

Yes! I would love to pay more taxes for law enforcement to do their jobs instead of spending even more coming up with an overblown and inherently insecure backdoor scheme.

You can use keywords in Chrome: go to Options > Basics > Default search > Manage, pick a search engine, click Edit, and enter your keyword. It's a few more steps than in Firefox, but at least it doesn't clutter your bookmarks.

The privacy tools built into all current browsers can clear all but one of evercookie's storage methods. Specifically, cookies, cache, history & HTML5 storage should all be included in your browser's "clear private data" feature. Flash

Are you sure the past tense is appropriate? HP just spent a bit over a billion dollars to buy webOS; I'd be shocked if we don't see a major push next winter at the latest.

I've been working on a new style of RSS reader in my spare time for a month or so now. Current RSS readers treat RSS like email, which pressures the user to at least glance at every item. I have 177 subscriptions in Google Reader, so you ca

So you think Google's planning to offer prioritized services to Android users? YouTube seems a likely pick.

Speculation: net-neutrality compromise in the wireless space could help Google's relationship with carriers. Google can't afford to fight with their Android partners while they have Apple to worry about.

This appears to be the primary patent in question: http://www.google.com/patents/about?id=2EkUAAAAEBAJ It is indeed a method patent.

Depending on your definition of "total crap", you might find LaTeX2rtf gives you acceptable output with minimal manual tweaking. It works for me, though I'm far from a type snob.

I don't think your portrayal of the argument is entirely correct. Here's the one I've usually seen: - Apple claims that the language restriction is intended to increase the quality of apps in the App Store. - But the App Sto

Your site says nothing of how the system actually works. How does it identify individuals across sites? How is reputation calculated? If you did this the obvious way (HN or Reddit-style karma keyed to email addresses), you're going to run i

It seems like all these problems could be solved by tighter integration with browsers: add hooks for browser privacy features to NPAPI and support them in Flash. Adobe seems to already be heading that way with the new private-browsing suppo

Other sites applied similar comment systems with less effectiveness: Reddit, YouTube, Digg. HN's civility seems to be mostly a result of its community. I doubt this system would be a silver bullet for a newspaper site, which by nature has a

It doesn't look possible right now. I've looked through the extension docs ( http://developer.apple.com/safari/library/documentation/Tool... ), and the overall architecture is very similar to Chrome's. Safari extensions are essentially user
